Day 3208

 I woke up about 8, played games for a short while, and then got up to feed the cats.  I put th washing stuff in the car.  Ellen left for the laundromat and I took Abby for a walk.

It took Abby and I half an hour to walk around the course.  That's probably about 3 mph.  Pretty good for a fat old man.  When we got back I had breakfast and then went out to the shed.

I started by gluing the rim of the second cart tire.  I'll put the tires back on the cart.  Then I went out to clean out the trailer basement.  The mice had made a complete mess of it.  I ended up taking everything out.  I had to throw out 2 bags of dog treats that they'd eaten.  Then I had to vacuum up all of the shredded paper and mouse shit.  Finally I had to scrub the entire floor with 409 to clean off the mouse piss.

The mice had also shit and pissed in the Starlink antenna box.  I had to wash that out and let it dry in the sun.  The only possible good side of all of this was that the mice had partially eaten the contents of both poison traps.

When that was done I went into the shed and organized everything that needed to be in the trailer.  Some of it was ready to go and other stuff had to be put in boxes.  There was quite a bit to go through.  Once that was done I started backing the basement.  I put the Starlink box at the streetside end, the "stuff" boxes in the middle, and the pet and people food in the curbside end.  When I was finished I still had a fair amount of room for TP and Ellen's pants in the curbside end.

It was after noon and I was just finishing up when Ellen got back.  I unloaded the car and put the 2 bags of Casoron she'd bought in the truck.  Then I took the house garbage bag to the dumpster.  

When I back I had lunch.  Ellen wanted to make travel reservations, so I spent some time completing the travel plan.  While I was doing that I calculated how much ammo we'd need to take.  I ended up wrapping 8 cases of ammo in plastic and loading it into the truck.  It was 5 and the middle 80's by then.

I sat down to watch videos, which rapidly turned into a nap.  I'd put in a pretty full day of work.

Ellen fixed chicken fingers for dinner.  After that I watched some episodes of "Just Call Saul".  They were slow at first, but became interesting by the end.  I'll keep watching.
