Day 1915

 We woke up about 8:30 and fed the pets.  Then it was an hour of games followed by breakfast.  Then it was off to the apartment.

We had about a case and a half of shells to go.  The first half wasn't bad, the second was kind of ugly.  My last brush died just as I finished the last shell.  Ellen went back to the house to dry shell boxes.  I stayed in the apartment and did some clean up.  It was warm today, so I opened up the apartment windows and doors to air it out.  I took some stuff that had been damaged to the garbage.  I turned off the heater in the well house and put the light in the well head shelter away.  Finally I emptied the water in the bathtub.

I also had Ellen help me vacuum and roll up one of the rugs which had dried in the sun.  Putting the rugs out in front of the garage door has turned out to be a good idea.  All of them are drying.  I have to turn them over occasionally.

Lunch was the last of the cold cuts.  It will probably be days before any are available for purchase.  I did a little reading and surfing before I decided I needed to to something else.

I went back out to the garage to drill the second lock hole in the cargo rack.  This one is going to be in the right place.  I used the drill press this time.  That made drilling the hole easier.  However, setting up the press wasn't.  I had to partially disassemble the rack also.  That was a pain in the ass.  Every part of the disassembly and reassembly process fought me.  I got it done though.

When I took the rack apart I discovered that the hole I'd drilled and tapped to discourage theft was in the wrong place.  So I drilled and tapped another one.  I have to get a shorter bolt for it though.

By then it was 5:30.  Ellen fixed the chicken parmigiana I bought yesterday.  After dinner was TV, games, and a little surfing.
