Day 3253

I woke up at 7:30 and played games until 8.  Then it was up for breakfast and hooking up.  Hooking up took longer because I had to  drain the tanks.  We go on the road about 9:30.

The trip home was only 30 miles.  I thought there might be voting traffic, but there wasn't.  When we got to the place everything looked all right.  There was the usual high grass and a few weeds, but nothing serious.  The worst thing was that all of the gravel was covered with fox shit.  He must not shit anywhere else.

Things got bad when I turned on the water pump power.  The pump didn't go on.  I called the well people and they said that they would have someone out in an hour and a half.  We put the pest in the house and started to park the trailer.

That was a cluster fuck.  I had a new idea on how to do it.  The idea didn't work out.  We spent about an hour backing and filling.  I got the trailer about lined up, but I ran it into a combination tree and bush.  It was the same one that I broke the truck tail light on.  I got out the tree trimmer and pole saw and chopped the hell out of both plants.  I should have done that years ago.  With the tree out of the way I backed the trailer in just where I wanted it.

The pump guys came.  The dinged around for a while and said that the motor start capacitor was dead.  They replaced it and the pump ran again.  It only cost $140.  Yippee.

With the trailer parked we went to get the mail in the car.  I inflated the tires first.  We had to wait at the window to pick it up.  There was a whole box full.  Then we went to Longhorn for a 3:00 lunch/dinner.  We had a lot of food.

When we got home we moved a bunch of stuff to the house.  That included dirty clothes, underwear, toiletries, CPAP, razor, etc.  It was wash day, so Ellen started the wash.  I also moved everything in the refrigerator.   Ellen had to fix the internet.

By then we were both tired.  I'd avoided election news all day.  I just didn't want to hear about it.  That meant no internet or TV.  I sat down to read, but almost fell asleep.  I got up, took a shower, and went to bed.
