Day 2026

 I woke up about 7:30 and played games until after 8.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  I put on a long sleeve shirt because it was 50 degrees and raining.

After breakfast we drove up to Audi.  It was raining heavily.  Traffic was OK until we got to Wilsonville.  then it sucked for about a mile.When we got to Audi we paid for the car and then looked for Audi trinkets.  We didn't find anything we wanted.  We drove about a block to the parts department.  They didn't have anything either.  Then we left.  As we drove onto TV hwy the malfunction went off again.  So we turned around and went back to Audi.  They kept the car and we got a Q5 for a loaner.  It's much better than the smaller one we had before.

We stopped at Safeway on the way home for bananas, soap, and orange juice.  Of course we picked up a couple of other things, too.  Traffic on the way home sucked.  It was very slow from Tualitan to past Wilsonville.  We stopped at Elmer's for lunch, but it was noon and there was a wait.  So we went home instead.

We had leftovers for lunch.  then I surfed and Ellen watched TV.  About 3 Ellen got a text that there were packages at the club.  So we walked over.  The Porsche guy was there and we talked to him for quite a while.  Then we took the packages home.  I spent about an hour installing the hose reel in the trailer.  When I went inside Ellen hadn't done anything with the cell extender.

We unpacked the extender and put it together to test it.  It didn't give much, if any improvement in the cell signal.  That may be because I didn't mount the antenna up high.  I'll do that tomorrow.  If it doesn't give improvement then, it's going back.

Ell fixed sloppy joes and peach cobbler for dinner.  It was good.  After dinner we spent the whole evening watching TV - the new version of Hawaii 5-0.
