Day 2658

 I woke up a little after 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After a little surfing Ellen left for therapy and I went outside.

I decided to work on pink flamingos.  I picked up the wreckage of the ones that had been crushed by trees and repaired the legs of the ones that weren't.  Then I installed them in the lawn.  Then I removed the nails holding the one on the deck and took it to the garage.  I set it up with a clamp.  I'll need JB Weld to repair it.  I left a message for Ellen to get some, but of course she didn't.

After that I did a little of the laundry and then waited for Ellen to get home.  When she did we started to get the kitchen ready for a dog.  That meant cleaning out everything under and on the table.  Some of the stuff went into a Goodwill bag.  Some went to the trailer for Hooch and family.  The remainder went to the apartment and garage.  Ellen vacuumed the floors while I did that.

There were two of my old computers.  Unfortunately I don't remember their password.  I've been using a PIN for years.  I'm still trying to remember it so I can wipe the machines.  I also got out the second digital picture frame.  I'd get it started, but we don't have an extra SD card.  I ordered one.

Somewhere in the middle of that we had leftovers for lunch.

The dog front was weird.  Ellen did some research.  Parvo can show up years later in a dog and do real damage, so Minnie is out.  The breeder said the other female was reserved for us.  Hooch called to cheer me up.  He said that there was a trainer in Spokane he's taking his dog to.  I'm hoping we can, too.  The timing looks good.  The breeder said coming on Monday is OK, that there's another couple coming in on Saturday.  I had Ellen find out if we should come before them to make sure we get the other female.  The breeder said no, the other couple has priority.  I'm really confused.  The dog is supposed to be "reserved for us", but what does that mean?  Oh well, this whole thing is turning into a cluster fuck.

We did have fun with names.  The front runner is Abby (for Abby Normal).  I want Poochy.

The rest of the day was mainly videos.  Ellen fixed pork chops for dinner.

Tomorrow will involve errands - Costco, Home Depot, post office, pet food, and HEB.
