Day 3721

 I woke up at 7, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  Then I went out to the garage to work on the trailer.

I only worked on the trailer for about 45 minutes until Abby could run after breakfast.  I got some progress made on attaching latches to the side panels.  Then it was time to walk around the property while Abby ran.  She had a great time and I enjoyed the walk in the morning before it got hot.

When we were done it was time to get drugs for the cats in Dripping Spring.  We were going there yesterday when the car developed a check engine light.  When we got to 290 there was a long traffic jam because the two lights at Belterra were broken.  We had to get the drugs though, so we just waited and made our way through the 4-way stops.  Besides, I had a Amazon return for the UPS store next door.

The UPS store had some sort of weird code reader for the return authorization on the phone.  It didn't want to read the phone.  Then the package return label printer ran out of paper.  I'm going to Whole Paycheck from now on .

From there we went to Tractor Supply to get dog food and bird seed.  They had a 15% off sale on the dog food, so we bought two bags.  On the way back we stopped at the donut store.  It was OK.  Of course we went back on 150.  We stopped at Salt Lick for lunch.  It didn't seem too crowded, but they said we'd have to wait.  We ordered takeout instead and ate it at a table in the waiting area.  It was actually more pleasant than eating inside.  Of course Abby got some brisket, too.

 I went back to the garage when we got home.  I would have made great progress if I hadn't had to redo a bunch of stuff.  It wasn't anything serious, just a comedy of errors.  I got all of the side plate latches done and the side plates installed.  Then I quit because I was tired of working on it.  It's looking pretty good.

I went back inside and ordered some more M2 screws.  The ones supplied with the latches are too short and I've really depleted my supply.  I also spent a lot of time trying to find the right materials for the jack that won't cost too much.  I was unsuccessful.

That was it for work today.  I spent the rest of the day on videos and surfing.
