I woke up about 8 and played games until about 9. Then we fed the animals and left to get breakfast at the cafe. We took the Bronco. It ran like shit and kept dying. That's when I noticed that the tank was almost empty.
We stopped at the gas station and put in 6 gallons - over $20. The Bronco didn't run any better. After breakfast we went to Halfway because it hadn't been an hour since Abby ate. We bought a whistle and mouse traps at the hardware store. Then we got bacon and bread at the grocery.
When we got back to Richland we stopped at Holcomb so Abby could run. She ran all around the field to the west and along the bank by the river. We also took her around the other side of the park. She ran quite a while, but wasn't tired when we were done. I was happy with the way she acted. She always came back to check in. The only time that I had to blow the whistle was to tell her to change direction.
After the park we went to Dan and Patsy's. We sat out in the yard and talked for quite a while. Then I talked with Dan some more while he washed the car. Ellen played Scooter. Dan told me that Steve had traded in an CanAm with really low miles for $15K at the Baker Polaris dealer. I might see about buying it tomorrow.
We took Abby with Dan to run the dogs. We went to the water pump. Abby ran like she hadn't run today. She covered an amazing amount of ground. She and Sugar scared up a lot of different birds including a huge covey of quail.
We went home after that. Ellen set up the mouse trap we bought. We watched videos for a while and then Ellen fixed grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner.
After dinner we watched more videos. We heard the trap go off. It got the mouse. Ellen retrieved the trap and I put it outside for disposal tomorrow.
After that we went to bed. Tomorrow we go to Baker to get the Bronco worked on and maybe look at the Polaris Ellen isn't too keen on the idea. That just means that I'll make them a really low bid, $16K or 16.5K.
