Day 3018

 I woke up a little after 8 and got up for breakfast.  It was 65 degrees out.  I surfed for a while and then went out to the garage to finish the obstacle I'd been working on.

I finished up the obstacle, but it took a little time.  The Chinesium eye hooks that I was using kept braking when I screwed them in even though I'd drilled pilot holes.  The end result looks good though.  I have to wait until the glue dries before I can use it.

By the time I was finished it was noon and time to take the dog to the park.  When I started the car I said that the TPMS didn't work and the parking sensors didn't either.  The check engine light was also on. I checked the tires and they were OK.  I decided to use the car anyway.

Ellen can't walk well, so I brought along one of the big balls.  We went to Beckett park.  I threw a few bumper retrieves, but again Abby got bored fairly quickly.  Then I got out the ball.  She had a great time chasing it around until it broke.

After that we did a little walking around.  Abby did a great job of ignoring other dogs when we walked by them.  She's also decided that it's OK to drink out of the doggy drinking fountain.  It's even better when she can paw in the water.

We drove over to get the mail.  Then we drove over to Waterloo to have lunch.  We got there just in time to have their breakfast.  I had a mango margarita also.  There were a lot of dogs outside and Abby didn't behave well.  She also bothered the serving people and even tried to table surf.  Her restaurant manners need work.  Afterwards Ellen got a smoothie and I got yogurt.  Then it was back home.

I checked the backyard water faucet.  It's definitely leaking in the wall.  I asked Ellen to get a plumber recommendation from the neighborhood.  I was really tired, so I sat in the recliner and surfed on the tablet.  That turned into a nap until it was time to feed the animals.

There was no dinner.  I just had a couple of snacks.  I really wasn't very hungry.

The evening was all videos.
