Day 2540

 The low battery alarm on the house alarm went off at 7:30.  Ellen heard it, but I couldn't.  Of course she woke me up.  I couldn't get back to sleep, so after some gaming I got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that was surfing until it was time to take Cooper to the vet.

The vet said Cooper was healthy except for his tooth.  Apparently the only cure is extraction.  It will be done next Monday.  From there we had a lot of errands.  We stopped at Tomlinson's for cat litter followed by the deck chair place to buy a cover for the new chairs.

Ellen broke the shower sprayer last night, so we stopped at Home Depot for a new one.  They didn't have one in stock even though the web said they did.  We got on at Lowe's instead.  I also got a smoking deal on DeWalt batteries.  After that we stopped at the Brodie donut place to pick up lunch and the battery place for an alarm battery.  The last stop was Randall's so I could get bananas.  Cooper was not happy with all of the traveling.

When we got home I got out the ladder and cleaned out the gutter.  It was totally clogged.  I took the opportunity to remove all of the sand from the entire gutter.  I also tried to fix the leak over the walkway with undercoating.  We'll see how that works.

After that I was hot, tired, and hungry.  I decided to take a minute or two to change the alarm battery.  That turned into a cluster fuck.  I had to get tools and a connector from the garage to change out one of the battery connectors that wouldn't fit the new battery.  Then the low battery indicator was still on and a fault light was flashing.  Ellen called the company.  They tried to fix it remotely, but couldn't.  They're coming out tomorrow.

I finally got lunch and did a little surfing.  Then I decided to replace the shower sprayer.  When I took the old one off, it was clear that the new one wasn't the right type.  Ellen was playing with the old one and it came apart.  When it did i saw how to fix it.  I fixed it and put the new one back in the box to return.

By then it was mid afternoon and I was tired of doing things.  I surfed for a while and then started watching a movie.  After that it was videos.

Ellen fixed coconut fish for dinner.  It was really good.  After dinner was more videos.  I even got Ellen to watch a couple of things that I'd found - removing beaver dams and cleaning sea turtles.

Devon has been growling at Cooper since we got home.  I hope he gets over it soon.  I'm afraid he might start pissing on the floor again.
