I woke up at 7:30, played games for a while,and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. Then I got out the necessary tools and started to install the light that didn't have broken glass.
The process wasn't difficult, but everything that might have had to be redone did. I had to take off both ceiling mounts and install longer mounting screws. Then I discovered that the pole ends actually are designed for sloping ceilings. I had to go out to the shed, drill out the holes in the mounts a little, and use washers to shim the pole ends. Now they won't bend. I also had to connect a power supply so I could determine the polarity of the light's wire.
After that it was a matter of assembling the lights (with thread locker), connecting the wires, and bolting the lamp to the ceiling. Ellen helped by holding the light while I connected the wires. The result is one installed light (it works). Unfortunately one of the bulbs was damaged when it fell, so Ellen ordered more.
After that we left for errands. Ellen needed to go to Walgreen's. After that we went to the golf course for lunch (Abby didn't come with us). The next stop was Wally World for a whole list of stuff, mostly groceries. The last stop was the post office where I picked up the sewer seals.
We didn't get home until after 2. We sat down for videos, which turned into a nap for me. When I woke up it was almost time to feed the animals.
Ellen fixed steak on the Traeger for dinner. It was really good. After dinner I took Abby for a walk around the course. I didn't put on the collar. She did great keeping track of me and checking in. I only had to use the whistle a couple of times.
When we got back it was videos for a while, but I got bored. I turned off the TV and starting building a pink flamingo Lego that we got at Wally World. I got it about half done before it was time for bed.
