Day 3606

 I woke up at 7, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that I went outside to work in the trailer.  Ellen went out to trim plants.  My goal was to get the trailer completely ready for winter.  However I got sidetracked by other tasks.

I started by draining the hot water heater.  When I opened the box with the water accessories I found that everything in it was corroded.  I spent quite a while cleaning them off with the bench grinder.  Then I blew the water out of the lines.

 I then started going through the entire trailer looking for things that we don't need to have in there.  There were a lot of places to look and a lot of unnecessary stuff.  Things like booze, old cups and water bottles, extra clothes, etc.  I took them all to the house and had Ellen package them up for Goodwill. 

I got tired of having to carefully walk up and down the trailer stairs.  I got out the lawn cart to collect some rocks to build up the base under the stairs.  That's when the lady from the eye doctor called.  I had the typical fruitless conversation (no changes, everything's fine).  Then I waited on hold for quite a while to make an eye appointment for December.

 After that I got back to the rocks.  I collected some thick flat ones.  I used the biggest to build a sturdy "landing" for the trailer steps.  I used the others to make an area in the front lawn boundary that I could drive the truck over without having to move them.  I should have done that a long time ago.

After that I went back to cleaning out the trailer.  Eventually I had everything stacked for removal.  That was several trips to the house.  They were made easier by the new stair landing.  I'll have lots of stuff to put away tomorrow.

It was lunch time, so we went on errands.  I picked up the new gun case at the post office.  A Chinese package was there, too.  Then it was over to Doc's back yard for lunch.  The last stop was Goodwill.

When we got home I put a few things away and sat down for videos and a nap.  That was it for the rest of the afternoon.  Dinner was leftover pizza followed by a football game and reading.  The Cowboys lost.  Yeah.
