It rained during the wee hours. I had to get up and pull things in, like the fire pit and the chairs and put them under the awing. I was going to roll up the rugs but had no place to put them so I left them and went back in and went back to sleep.
I didn't sleep very well on the couch. I kept waking up either because I was uncomfortable or because of noises. There are a lot of dogs barking throughout the night and some time really early in the morning there is a turkey that gobbles for about 30 min. It is very strange.
I took Bella out and she immediately shied away from a dog who was on a leash. We walked a bit more and she seemed OK.
We sat outside and drank coffee and then I went in to tackle the remainder of the projects.
I put the chest upright and put all the drawers back in and it seemed happy. I put it back in place and all is well.
I grabbed the garbage drawer and put it back in place and it seems to be happy as well. It works, Yippee!
Now for the closet. I figured if I just put it back the way it is it would just collapse again. So, I got the great idea of drilling holes and wiring the rod to the shelf above it. So, I found the drill and a bit and headed in. We always keep one battery plugged in, so I swapped the batteries, but guess what, it wasn't really charged. I thought about maybe borrowing one, but I had already had to borrow some sand paper so I decided not. I ended up taking a hammer and nail and pounding the nail in to make the holes. Not an easy task. But I managed to wire it up in 6 places. I also made the dowels longer and propped them up to help hold the shelf in place.
I had just finished that part and was thinking about putting the clothes back when Lori and John came by. They said they were going to walk around town and shop and then have lunch and did I want to join them. Boy did I ever.
It was about quarter to 10:00 and so we agreed to meet at noon. That would allow me to finish up and take a very badly needed shower.
I very proudly got everything I wanted to keep back into the closet both on hangers and on the shelf. I did get rid of some stuff. Wow, what a job.
Meanwhile; Rob is traveling around the country and took these pictures in Oakland on the Bay Bridge. I guess he wanted to ride it!
El Viejo is just a cool little taco place, they have beef, shrimp, chicken and other fish, grilled, breaded or however. They they have a salsa bar of all kinds of stuff you can add to your taco. It was yummy. We had a really nice, enjoyable lunch and visit. They both walked back with me and we found the very cool house that is for sell here in the complex. I had told them about it and they wanted to see it. Then Lori and I walked up to the tortilla place. Ants had gotten into the ones I had gotten yesterday.
We walked back into town and went to the produce store and then waited for John to come back with the quad to pick her up.
Bella and I came back to the rig and hung out. We went out again later for a walk, but mostly I just watched the rest of the season 3 of The Fall and then went to bed. I don't know if they will have a Season 4 pursuing something or someone else or not. I'm glad it is over though, because I was pretty obsessed with it.
I went to bed in my own bed with no clothes piled on top of it.
