Day 2544

 I woke up at 8 and played games until 9:30.  There was no point in getting up, it was too cold.  When I di did get up it was pet stuff and breakfast followed by a little surfing.

About 10 it got warm enough (almost 50) to consider going outside.  I tested conditions by taking out all of the household garbage.  It was sunny with no wind, so it was bearable.  The next order of business was to drain the trailer's pipes.  That took some time, but there weren't any problems.

Next I got the key to the Polaris and started it.  It started almost right away.  I let it idle while I cleaned the seat and the window.  The seats were covered with mildew.  I got as much off as I could with window cleaner.  It was all I had.  When it was warmed up I gave it an initial run by taking the garage garbage can out to the gate.  It worked fine.

I took the Polaris down to the deck and loaded up two of the old deck chairs.  I took them to the back storage shed.  They stacked nicely in one corner.  I did the same with the second two chairs.

After that I went back to the garage and got the boards for the storage shed.  I used the Polaris to take them to the back.  It was good that I did.  It turned out that I had measured the short boards incorrectly.  I had to get back to get a saw and a tape measure.  Using the Polaris made it quick and easy.

I measured and cut the four short boards to the correct length.  Then I screwed all 8 boards to the storage shed.  I messed up again.  I should have had an additional 2 boards.  I'm not sure I'll bother to get them.  The real problem areas have been addressed now.

By the time I was finished it felt comfortably warm.  I was feeling good about all of the stuff that got done.  I parked the Polaris and went in for lunch.

After lunch I put the tires back on the Ryft and put away the tools.  I really didn't feel like doing anything else, so I surfed and watched videos.  That got old, so I turned on football.  I didn't really watch it.  It was just on while I read magazines.  I got through a lot of the pile that was in the box when we got here.

When the magazines ran out I went back to videos.  Ellen fixed orange chicken for dinner.  After dinner I started a movie.  I got bored with it and started another.  I got through part of it before I decided to go to bed early.  We have to get up at 6:30 tomorrow to take the cat to the vet.
