Day 3006

 I woke up a little before 8 (the dog started whining early).  I ignored her and went back to sleep until a little before 8:30.  Then it was up fro breakfast (Ellen had gotten up earlier).  After that I surfed for a while waiting for it to get a little warmer.  When it got to 60 I went outside to replace the woodpile.

Abby had drug about half the woodpile in the backyard all around the back yard.  I had picked up the big logs yesterday.  I got out the garden cart and used it to take the pile out near the back fence.  The wood was rotten and almost fell apart in my hands.  It took three loads to remove it all.  While I was doing that Ellen picked up all of the little sticks that Abby had scattered around the yard.

With the woodpile gone we went to the back fence to get some rocks.  We went to a place level with the pink house.  We hadn't gotten rock from there before and it was pretty easy to find ones that would work.  We filled up the cart and I pulled it back to the fence and placed the rocks along the bottom of the fence.

I was tired when that was done.  It's only been a year since we put rocks all around the back yard fence.  I'm not sure if I could survive that this year.  I'm getting old fast.

Ellen played with the dog while I was doing the rock hauling and placement.  I sat down on the deck and Abby got me involved.  We went in after a while because it was time for Ellen to go to archery.

I started working on the design of a new obstacle and had lunch while Ellen was gone.  I didn't get far because I needed to measure the turning radius for the Defender.  I ran out of battery trying to get the steering set.  I put the battery on the charger and sat down in the recliner with the dog.  She keeps trying to sit on my lap when I'm at the computer just like Cooper does.

Abby and I ended up taking a nap.  When I woke up I watched some videos while Ellen fixed steak for dinner.  Abby likes steak night as much as Lucy did.  Devon got a piece, too.

The rest of the evening was videos.
