I woke up about 8 and played games for a while. Then I got up for pet stuff and breakfast. I'd really made the decision to buy the Traaxas yesterday, so I started ordering parts for one.
I spent quite a bit of time looking for parts. It paid off. I found several replacements for my original choices that reduced the cost considerably. I also added a couple of of parts that people on the web said were necessary.
I got a text from FedEx. It said that the barrel delivery was due between 11:30 and 3:30. I'll beat the gate waiting. At least I won't have to wait all day.
After that Ellen and I went outside with Abby. We played with her for a while. She got into the pond, which was disgusting. That's when we discovered that all of the dog shampoo had disappeared from both the house and the trailer. We used to have several bottles. I have no idea where it went.
By then it was time for errands. I started a Lowe's and Michael's where I bought a couple of small items for building more 1/24 obstacles. Abby did really well in Lowe's even though we didn't have the dog collar on her. After that we went to lunch at Doc's Backyard. She did great there, too. Several times rug rats brushed by her and she didn't react at all.
From there we drove up to the hobby shop at Palmer. It's a long drive. I bought the Traaxas there and Ellen got some paint. Then it was back south for the Post Office, pet store (for shampoo), and HEB. After that it was home.
I started to watch football. Abby spent her time running around, getting me to play fetch, and laying on my lap. Cooper was really pissed. Actually he was so pissed today that he didn't eat either breakfast of dinner.
Ellen fixed sausage and hashbrowns for dinner. I watched the second football game until it was clear SF was going to win. Then I switched to videos. Abby used my lap as a bed.
At 8 we handed out treats. Abby had to go to bed so Cooper could have the lap. I watched videos for a while and then went back to looking for Traaxas parts.
