I woke up a little before 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. I need to do some more planning before any more work on the trailer, so I started to work out how the hitch should be constructed.
I got sidetracked by some little things including putting the rubber mat under our "Christmas tree". It turns out that the cabinet top was OK. Ellen had placed a plastic sack under part of it. I replaced it all with the mat.
After that I worked on plans for several things. I figured out the length of the ramps and how to store them. I still need to figure out how to mount them when loading a rig. I also figured out how to do the drop side rails. Finally I came up with several ideas for the corners of the frame.
I realized that I needed to go to Lowe's to get some materials. I did a little pricing at both Lowe's and Home Depot. Then we took Abby to Circle C.
It was nice to go to the park. I was getting a little bored staying at home. Then we stopped at Lowe's. I got material for the side rails. I also got some thing aluminum that I think I can use for the corners and the ramp carrier. One crappy thing happened. I left the Dogtra on top of the car.
We stopped at Doc's for lunch. I brought half of it home. Then we went home after a stop at the post office. We searched for the Dogtra, but didn't find it. I ordered another from Amazon - $280. Crap.
I got thinking and reworked how I was going to hold the side rails. That led to an Aliexpress session looking for parts. I think I have something really neat planned using hitch latches and chain. I should be able to secure them pointing down, pointing out, and pointing up.
About that tie Ellen turned on videos. I sat down to watch. I watched until dinner time - a salad. After dinner it was a little more videos and then a movie. It was a long one, 2.5 hours, but interesting. It was bedtime by the time it ended.
