I woke up at 7:30 and got up for pet stuff. Melissa fixed ham and toast for breakfast. After that the four of us talked for a couple of hours until it was time for them to leave.
After they left I put away some of the stuff that was still left out. Then I took the recycle stuff to the can. Then bin was already half full. It was a warm morning, so I decided to clean the gutter. It was totally clogged up.
I got the ladder out and scooped out the gutter. Then I ran the hose down the downspout to clear it out. Everything runs fine now. However, to get it completely fixed I need to get a couple of more supports and raise the corner of the gutter. Ellen helped with the hose.
I took the ladder to the big broken tree. I used it to pull down a broken branch that I've been meaning to take down since the ice storm. I also cut off some dead branches. That made a slight improvement in the tree's looks. Ellen hauled away the branches while I put away the ladder and tools.
We went inside. Ellen started watching videos and I surfed. Eventually I joined her. We did that until after lunch (leftover pizza). Then Ellen cut my hair. It really needed it. After that it was more videos.
Dinner was an HEB salad. After that I switched to movies. I watched one, started two more, and finished most of another.
Three Dollar Bill called me again. Apparently he didn't remember he called at Christmas. He sounded cheery even though he told me that he couldn't walk at all anymore. He needs assistance to go to the bathroom. I kept him talking about whatever he wanted, mainly the fact that he doesn't drink much anymore. I politely terminated the conversation after half an hour. He actually told me to call him sometime.
I went back to the movie for a while and then finished the evening with some surfing.
