Day 2818

 I woke up a little after 7.  Ellen got up, too.  She fed the cats while I had breakfast.  Then she left to do the laundry.  I stayed home because I wanted to work in the shed before it got too hot (eventually 102).

I went out to the shed and finished work on the plank bridge  I have a little more to do on the stump panel, but I decided to postpone that.  I really don't know what I'm going to do with it.  Instead I worked on the what I'm calling the wave panel.  I also drained the tanks.

I'm calling it the wave panel because the major obstacle is a couple of wavy boards that really stress articulation.  It took a while to draw it out and then fabricate it.  I needed to make a template to mark how to cut it out.  The result isn't perfect, but it is functional.  I also figured out how to position the obstacles at one end of the panel.

I still have some planning and fabrication left to do.  I just got tired of working on it.  Also, it was getting very hot.

I went back inside the trailer and surfed until lunch time.  By then it was well into the 90's.  After lunch was videos - GSP's, Ukraine, and various other things.

Ellen fixed shrimp and tater tots for dinner.  After dinner was more videos.

The hot weather is supposed to last until the weekend.  I guess I'll be watching a lot more videos.
