Day 3384

 I woke up a little before 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I went outside to accomplish some stuff.

I started by pumping the gas out of the Ranger.  I couldn't get it all out because of the slope it was parked on, so I hooked up the battery charger and switched tasks.  I went to the deck to use the blower to clean off the wisteria blossoms.

Unfortunately the blossoms seemed glued to whatever surface they had fallen on.  I had to use a broom to loosen them up.  Then I could use the blower to remove them.  It was in the middle 80's and humid, so this was a sweaty, tiring, process. 

The battery wasn't charged yet, so I went inside to see how to repair the bamboo light wire that Cooper chewed in half.  It ends in a USB plug, so I found a SB extension cord and a two output wall plug.  That will allow me to plug it into the timer for the crystal light box.  The wires are incredibly thin, way below 20 ga.  I had Ellen untwist them and strip them.  She had her magnifying glass and two thumbs.  They were both very helpful.

By then the battery was charged.  I went back outside and re-positioned the Ranger.  I was only able to pump a little more out.  It wouldn't restart because it was out of gas.  I got Ellen to help push it down the hill.  I won't be able to do anything else until I've got some new gas.

By then it was hot and time for lunch.  I was soaked in sweat, tired, and felt like shit.  We went to Waterloo for lunch.  I had a mango margarita and a kid's meal.  It was great.  I was feeling a little better by the time we were fun. 

We took Abby to Circle C.  We only ran her in shady areas.  She ran hard for a while, but then the heat began to get to her.  She got a fairly good run in though.  I felt pretty good waling, but I wasn't 100%.  The last stops were HEB for break, OJ, and bananas and the gas station for gas.

When we got home it was over 0 and too hot to work outside.  The Ranger will wait for tomorrow.

When I got home I gave the dog and myself) a shower.  Then I sat down in the chair and slept for well over an hour.  When I woke up it was time to feed the pets.  I watched videos after that.

Dinner was some frozen stuff followed by videos. 

I feel pretty good about today.  I got some stuff accomplished and I kept on working even thouogh I felt like shit.
