Day 2869

 We continued out training of Abby about morning.  She started crying at 7, but we didn't get up until 8.  Then we did the pet stuff and went to the cafe for breakfast.  After that we went to Dan and Patsy's, but they weren't home.

When we got back to the trailer we took Abby for retrieves.  She did pretty well until she got bored.  I don't think she was really all that tired.  When we got back to the trailer she slept on Ellen's lap while I surfed.

I called Dan, but he still wasn't home.  We continued to surf until 12 when it was time to leave.  I led in the Bronco and Ellen followed in the truck.  I took it slow for most of the way and she did fine.  That's despite some real idiots hauling trailers to Richland.

We got to the repair place a few minutes early.  They were open and we started talking about the Bronco.  It turns out one of the guys working there is a Bronco II fan and has owned 4 of them.  He seemed really excited to work on it.  We talked a little more, signed papers, and then left.

We ate lunch at the Sinclair station across I84.  We also bought 4 lottery tickets.  The jackpot is 1.4 billion (650 million net).  Ellen dropped her wallet at the restaurant and the waitress chased us down and returned it.  I also scoped out how to pull in for fuel tomorrow.  We also stopped at Grocery Outlet for milk before going back to Richland.

We picked up Abby when we got home and went to Dan and Patsy's.  Abby went wild in the yard.  Dan's short hair wasn't thrilled with her.  Dan finished his work without my help and took the dogs to the park.  I sat on the porch with Abby.

About 5:50 Dan and Ellen went to the church to sing.  I went back to the trailer and fed everyone.  Abby pissed on the floor just like last night.  I wasn't happy.  I went back to Dan and Patsy's at 7 for dinner.

Patsy fixed chili.  It was good.  We gave each of them lottery tickets and then watched a little football until about 8.  Then we went home.  I backed up the truck to the hitch and then we took down the StarLink.

The rest of the evening was surfing and videos.
