Day 2991

 The dog got up at 8 and so did Ellen.  I got up a little later.  After breakfast I did a little surfing and then went out to the garage.  

I did a little work on the first obstacle, but couldn't do much because I had to wait for the glue to dry.  I decided to start a second one instead.  It took some time to find the appropriate scrap wood.  Then there was the typical measuring and cutting of wood.  This time there was a lot of it.  Finally I did the assembly.  That's as far as I got before it was noon and time to walk the dog.

When I got back to the house Ellen took me outside with the dog.  Apparently Abby is no longer afraid of the large ball.  We watched chase it around for quite a while.  Eventually she cornered it against the fence and popped it.  Then she ran all around the yard carrying it in triumph.  We took it away from her when she started eating it.

There was no need to take Abby to the park.  She had done a whole lot of running with the ball.  We'd planned on going to Costco to get water and some sale items.  We added Wally World to the list.

We bought 4 more balls at Wally World.  They only cost $2.50 a piece.  We also got a few groceries.  We stopped at Mickey D's for lunch and then went to Costco.  The final stop was Whole Paycheck for whatever was on sale.

When we got home I put everything away and then went back out to the garage.  I painted the second obstacle.  I couldn't do that before because I didn't have any masking paper.  I also cut up some dowels for the bridge.  Unfortunately I'm going to need more.  It was time to feed the animals by the time I was done.

After feeding the animals I started watching videos.  Eventually I got hungry and had leftovers for dinner.  Then it was some more videos until I got bored and started surfing.
