Day 61

The weather is much improved. Sunny with some light clouds. The temperature got up into the mid 60's.

We started out by going shooting. The rug rat is pretty good. Ellen got him hitting targets well after two rounds of skeet. Then we took him on the corporate course. He hit at least 50%, and some of the targets were a little challenging. Lucy was disappointed. Because it was the weekend, we couldn't let her off lead.

After that we went to the gun show. Ellen and her sister sat in the car while I took the rug rat in. He was interested at first, but I think he was bored by the time we were finished. The problem was he didn't know what he was looking at. There were a couple of guns that I didn't recognize at all. There was even a Johnson rifle and two artillery Lugers for sale.

After that we went to Zilker park. Traffic was a mess. It too half an hour to get through Austin on I35. Then we couldn't take 360. It was backed up from the off ramp to loop 1. The Brodie exit was backed up onto 290 also. We finally ended up going to the post office and then getting on loop 1 from east bound 290.

Melissa enjoyed the park. We went to Barton Springs and then walked down the river to the lake. On the way back we walked through the dog park so that Lucy could have a run. After that we went home - the rug rat was tired.
