Day 3370

 I got up at 8, didn't play games, and just got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  Costco didn't open until 10, so I had time to accomplish two things.  The first was to screw the hair dryer holder to the bathroom cabinet.  The red mounting tape just didn't do the job.  After that we left for task two - run the dog.

We went to the Becker park.  We took Abby through the woods because there were lots of people walking dogs on the sidewalk.  She got in a good run and we still made it to Costco a little after they opened.

We didn't spend a lot of time at Costco because Abby was in the car.  We bought the on sale items we went there for along with some more water.  We stopped at the post office on the way home to pick up the package from China.

When we got home I opened the stuff from China and put it away.  It was a bunch of improvement parts for various RC cars.  I don't thing that I'll get to all of the work before we leave.  Then I went out to the truck to try to find the magnetic attachment for the new TPMS.  I ended up going through both glove compartments, the center console, and the safe.  The attachments were in the safe.

The effort wasn't a loss though.  I cleaned out a bunch of stuff that didn't need to be there.  I also reorganized things and made everything more accessible.  When that was done I went inside for lunch.

After lunch I started an install of Windows 11 on the Microsoft portable.  It took hours.  The good news is the result is something that I can live with.  I'll be converting my main laptop soon.

Ellen was working on taxes.  When I finished lunch I went out to the trailer to look into upgrading the AC ducting.  The good news is that I won't have to purchase $200 worth of stuff.  The company doesn't make anything that fits our AC units.  However, I did learn how to make things more efficient.  The short version is lots and lots of aluminum tape.

I spent hours taking the rear AC apart and taping up everything.  It wasn't fun standing on the stool to do it with the inside temperature almost 90.  I did get the taping done, but I still need to vacuum things out before reassembling things.  Doing that and the bedroom AC is tomorrow.

I got back to the house.  Ellen was watching chick flicks, so I surfed.  When she was done I turned on videos.  That turned into a nap with the dog.

Ellen fixed hamburgers for dinner.  They were Bison burgers and really good. 

After dinner was a few more videos.  Then I decided to do some more work on Hooch's present.  I didn't get as much done as I could have because I misread some instructions.  That took some debug time followed by redoing some stuff.
