Day 3011

 I woke up before 8, played games or a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I did a little surfing and then went to the garage.  I really wanted to work on the current obstacle in process.

I did a lot of measuring and cutting of wood.  I turned the two side pieces I'd made into a complete framework.  I also cut half a dozen lengths of old tree branch to make the deck.  Then I had to stop because it was time to paint the framework.  I painted it and called it a day.

I went back to the house and did a little surfing.  A package came.  I took Abby with me to pick it up.  Lee was out and Abby went over to see him.  I came over to talk when Lee called that Abby was with him.  We talked for a while and he mentioned that they were having "bite training" in about an hour.  I told him I'd come watch.

I went back to the house, had lunch, and then Ellen and I went to Lee's to watch the training.  There was a trainer, and three women.  Everyone had bought dogs and one of the women had brought her three kids.  The trainer dressed up in the padded suit and one by one the other dogs had a bite the trainer session.  They were all amazing.  Ellen even got to play "victim" once and Lee's dog attacked to protect her.

After the training was done everyone sat around and socialized for a while.  I couldn't join much because I couldn't hear.  Oh well.

We went home about 4.  We had run out of milk, so we went to HEB.  We got home about 5:30, so the pets were hungry.

Ellen fixed a HEB pizza for dinner.  After dinner I watched videos.

I've gotten 18 messages from AliExpress.  Most of them are order acknowledgements.  5 say the item has "shipped".  That just means it's left the facility.  It still has to go through Chinese customs and get flown to the US.  The final leg is the post office from CA to here.  I figure it will be 10 days before anything begins to show up.
