Day 3271

 I woke up about 7:30 and played games for a while.  then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  As soon as that was done I went outside to wash the truck and the trailer.

I got everything prepared - towels, hose, soaker, brush, ladder.  That's when I found out that I didn't have any car wash.  I got in the truck and went to HEB.  Luckily they had some.  The store was packed with pre-Thanksgiving shoppers.

When I got home I started on the truck.  It was the same as in Oregon - hit a section with the soaker, scrub it down, and then rinse it off.  The difference was that without immediate drying the whole surface was covered with water spots.  I had Ellen come out to wipe things down as I finished the rinsing.  That worked pretty well.

When the truck was done we moved to the trailer.  I repeated the same process with Ellen handing me the hose and brush so I didn't have to get off the ladder.  I had to scrub pretty hard to get the bugs off.  The result is pretty bug free though.

After that I put everything away.  When I finished I was soaked in sweat and very tired.  I went back into the house, got a beer, and did some surfing.  After a little while Ellen said a package had been delivered.  It was the extension cord for the palm tree.  I took it to the deck and installed the palm tree in the planter by the flamingos.

When I got back inside I took a shower.  I felt almost human when I got out.  I had lunch and then started shopping on Amazon.  I sat in the recliner and looked through 2,000 RC parts.  This took hours both before and after dinner.  There was a nap in the process also.  I ended up buying about 4 things.  

After dinner I ordered what I'd found and then watched videos for the rest of the evening.

This officially concludes the pre-Thanksgiving tasks.  Tomorrow I can start doing thins that I choose to do.
