Day 3771

 I woke up at 7, played games, and then got up for breakfast.  After that it was moving the last minute stuff to the trailer.  That took several trips.

It rained all day and everywhere.  The rain was constant and varied from light to medium.  It's the first day of continuous rain since we got here last fall.  Crap.

When all of the stuff was moved into the trailer we took the crock pot Ellen ordered to the FedEx place in Sunset Valley.  Traffic was fairly light and all we had to do was hand the box to them.  We went right back home.  That's when things got bad.

Remember that it never stopped raining.  I had trouble backing the trailer in line, but eventually got it lined up perfectly.  Then it wouldn't hitch up.  The jaws wouldn't close.  I had to reopen the garage, get some PB Blaster, and clean the mechanism.  It still wouldn't close.  Eventually I decided to carefully center the hitch before I backed up.  That did it.  Of course this whole thing took an hour and a half in the rain.  This has never happened before.

The cats were the next problem.  They were locked in the cat room.  When I opened the door I grabbed for Devon.  I got him, but he scratched his way free.  Ellen got Cooper and took him out.  Then we l spent 20 minutes or so chasing Devon around.  We had to capture him in a towel in order not to end up bleeding. 

When I started up the truck it said the right tail lights were out.  They were.  I wasn't about to do any more work in the rain so we just left. 

By then the rain was heavier.  It rained hard all the way to San Antonio.  Lots of people were driving 40 miles an hour with their flashers on.  Some of them were in the left lane.  I saw lots of stupidity the whole trip.  I think that the fastest I drove was 67.  Most of the time it was mid 50's or lower.  A lot of it was in the left lane because the other lanes were full of people that shouldn't have been on the road at all.

When we got to the RV park they told me that they didn't accept Amazon packages.  Assholes.  It was still poring rain while we set up.  The Starlink works, but the data rate is unusable.  Ellen says that it will be better tomorrow. 

We went to the club and checked in.  It's going to be a muddy mess.  Then I went to Target to get a shampoo holder for the shower.  They didn't have any.  We stopped at the Cajun place for dinner.  We made a Wally World stop on the way home, but they didn't have shampoo holders either.  Crap.

It's 8 at night and it's still raining hard.
