Day 2675

 I woke up at 8, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that I did something stupid.

One of the lights in the bathroom had burnt out.  I got a new one, but couldn't unscrew the old one.  I ended up partially breaking the socket.  A little later I realized I should have let the fixture cool.  I went back and replaced the bulb easily.  Luckily the fixture still works.

Lee texted to say he wanted to meet at Torchy's at 11:30.  I surfed and played with the dog until it was time to leave.  The dog is definitely back to 100%.

I had a great time at lunch with Lee.  I did most of the talking.  Lee is a pretty private guy.  It was really fun though.  I told him to text when he wanted to come over to see the dog.

When I got home I decided to get some work done even though it was over 80.  I loaded up a could of loads of gravel and used it to patch some bare spots in the driveway.  Then I got to work on the dead branches at the end of the side yard.  They bugged me because they looked so bad.

I did all of the cutting with the chainsaw.  I worked great.  The only problem I had was a six inch in diameter branch almost hitting me.  When I was finished there was a brand new big pile of brush in the trees at the end of the side yard.  It took a little over an hour to do and the place looks a lot better.

I went back inside very hot, tired, and sweaty.  I had a beer and surfed to recover.  Then I took a shower.  After that I sat in the recliner to watch videos.  That turned into a nap.  Eventually I woke up a little before dinner.

Ellen fixed pork chops for dinner.  They were really good.  After dinner I did a little retrieving training with Abby.  I discovered that a treat was a great way to get her to bring the squirrel back to me.  Hopefully I'll be using a bumper outside soon.

We took Abby out in the yard to get her YaYa's out.  We had her running around for a half hour or more.  We got tired before she did, so they weren't all removed.  She started playing with Devon.  It's a work in progress, but I think Devon is getting to like her.  Cooper never will.

I watched videos for the rest of the evening.
