Day 2849

 I woke up about 7:30, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After a little surfing it was time to wash the trailer.

I went outside and set things up - ladder, hose, wash brush, bucket of soapy water, and the pressure washer.  Then I had Ellen come to help.  It took quite a while to wash the trailer, it's a big vehicle.  Ellen was a help.  She did much of the scrubbing with the wash brush while I used the pressure washer to spray down the trailer before the scrubbing and again after to rinse it.  The result wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good.  The main thing was to get the wax on the trailer.

I put everything away when we were done.  Then I went inside for surfing and lunch.  I'd planned to go out, but didn't have the energy.

Ellen had done a little training before we started washing.  She did more another couple of times today.  Abby is being pretty good.  She also has the "bed' command down better than when she went to school.  We had her tied with the check cord while we were washing.  She chewed through the cord and went over to the the workers loading pipe.  She came back when we called.  It was great.

After lunch i went back to the shed.  I put the correct connectors on the two new batteries I'd purchased.  Then I painted the BBX body.  I asked Ellen which color paint to use.  Unfortunately she told me the wrong one.  I'm ending up with a dark blue car instead of a light blue one.

After that it was back in the trailer for surfing and videos until dinner.  Ellen fixed stir fry.  After that it was more videos until about 7.  Then we took Abby for a walk to the end of the oourse and back.  That seemed to tire her out.  

The rest of the evening was videos.
