Day 3809

 I woke up at 6:30 and decided to get up instead of waiting for the 7:00 alarm.  The first thing I did was take a shit.  The result was messy, so I took a quick shower.  Then it was breakfast and hooking up.  We were still on the road a little before 8.

 The trip was 150 miles.  The first half was nice.  There were few cars and I was able to do 65 whenever the road allowed.  A regen started 50 miles after we left.  It wasn't a problem until we reached the summit.  The low EGT's from going downhill caused the regen to shut off 2 or 3 times.  Each time there was a long warmup period before it restarted.  Eventually it did finish with 0% soot.

The last third of the trip wasn't as enjoyable.  There were more cars.  There were podunk towns.  The road was still curvy and going downhill.  I needed to shit again.  I finally had to stop on the side of the road and shit.  Ellen figured out why.  The shrimp taco I had yesterday had lots of red and green peppers in it that I hadn't noticed.  They were really doing a number on my gut.  At least it wasn't as messy as the first one.

We got to the club a little before 11.  Of course it took hours to get set up.  The cover had blown most of the way off the car.  Also some asshole had cut the power cord.  Fortunately the battery wasn't dead, but I didn't want to run it until I'd charged it up.

We got everything but the car done and went to pick up the mail, have lunch, and buy a new power cord.  The last stop was Bauman's for strawberries.

I was tired when we got home so I put off doing things and watched videos instead.  Eventually I went out to the shed and connected up the battery charger.  It said the battery was at 90%.  A little later it read full.  Apparently the cord had been cut recently.  The car will need a bath before we use it though.  It's covered with dust and cobwebs.

I went back inside and watched a few videos.  Then I shredded all of the personal information that the finance and Medicare people had sent us over the last month.  I also opened a letter that said I'd won Senior Vet 3rd in the 20ga in San Antonio.  I get a $30 gift card.

After that it was bedtime.
