Day 2897

 I woke up a little after 7 and played games for a while.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.

The first order of business was to set the two light timers in the kitchen.  One controls the display box and the other controls the two art lights.  They weren't hard to set once I found the instructions.  Then I went outside and retrieved the temp sensor for the bedroom display.  I'd thought it was working, but it wasn't.  It took me several tries over the day to get things working, primarily because the instructions were wrong.

The next item on the agenda was the Medicare health plan.  I had to wrestle with the website for a while to determine that I don't want to change.  Yeah. Then it was a search for a new shower head.  The cord on the old one is leaking.  I ended up ordering an exact replacement form Home Depot.  When that was done it was warm enough to go outside.  I unboxed the wind spinner that we bought this summer, assembled it, and put it up in the back yard.  There wasn't any wind, so i don't know how it will work.

I had lunch and then did a little surfing.  Then it was time to wash the truck.  I got everything out and we started on it.  Ellen took the bugs off the front while I went to work on the wheel wells with the power washer.  The washer barely made a dent on the mud.  I sent Ellen inside while I spent the next hour or so blasting it off.  Wrestling the washer while sitting on the truck stool wasn't fun.

When the wheel wells were clean Ellen came back out.  I power washed an area of the truck, she scrubbed it with a brush, and then I rinsed it with the washer.  The final step was to spray some ceramic wax on the wet area and immediately dry it.  I took us until after 4 to finish.  It was 5 by the time I had everything put away.

I fixed myself a drink when I got back inside.  I was really sore and tired.  Ellen fixed pork chops and hash browns for dinner. It was really good.  After dinner was videos.  I also watched part of Thursday Night Football just to remind myself why it's boring.

I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow.  Afterwards I'll probably try to put away some of the stuff in the garage.  I'm actually making good progress on all of the things that need to get done.
