Day 2896

 We woke up a little after 7.  It was 32 degrees out.  We stayed in bed playing games until after 8:30.  Then it was p for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was still in the 40's outside, so I found a couple of things to do inside.  First I put the guns away.  Then I started looking at Medicare.  I verified that the drug plan that I'm on is the best one.  Also, for some reason the premium is going down from $11/mo to $0.50/mo.  Yippee.

After that it was surfing until after 11.  By then it was up to a balmy 51.  I went outside and replaced the batteries on both the front and back temperature sensors.  Thankfully they both reconnected to the inside displays with no problem.

After that I opened the truck bed and started unloading it.  I took out the ammo and put it away in the garage.  The case of Gamebore had gotten wet even though it was wrapped in plastic.  I took all of the shells out and wiped them down.  Then I reloaded the plastic ammo boxes for next Spring.  Then I took all of the other stuff out of the bed and added it to the pile of stuff in the garage that needs to be put away.  Finally I reattached the two ratchet straps that I have in place in case I need them.  I made sufre that te ends wouldn't come loose again.

By then it was after 2 and I was tired and hungry.  I went inside and fixed myself a sandwich.  Then I did a little surfing until Ellen went to the club.  I went to the trailer when she did.  I dug out all of the small stuff that I'd squirreled in some of the small cabinets.  I took some of it to the garage and the rest to the house.  All of it got put away.  The dog food and door gate came while I was doing this.  Hauling 40 lbs of dog food from the gate to the house was almost more than I could do.  Getting old sucks.

After feeding the pets.  I surfed and watched videos for the rest of the afternoon and evening.  I really didn't have dinner, instead I ate some snacks.

Another note on Abby:  She's really adapting to being put outside.  We put her out after breakfast and she entertained herself running around the yard for over an hour.  She literally pulled down all of the hanging branches of the Wisteria.  I won't have to cut them down.  She also ran around whenever we put her out to go to the can.  She's even getting good at letting us know she has to go.  She still needs to improve on not chasing the cats and not running around the house.  When she does she ignores our commands to come.
