It was cold and a little windy today. So I decided to stay in and build the gondola crane I got for Christmas. I got out the box with all my old model paint. All of this stuff is at least 5 years old. I needed four colors - yellow, black, red, and silver. I found unusable yellow and silver. The first black I found was dead, but another was OK. Unfortunately the only red I had was dead. Not bad for 5 year old paint.
The model is metal and required small files to trim off flash. I did that while Ellen did the painting.
When we had done what we could we left to buy some red paint. We went to the hobby store near I35. We hadn't known that there were furniture stores there. We went to three. The lazy boy store had the best chairs. They are expensive, though. We're going to go to some other stores on Monday.
We did get the paint, and ate lunch at the burger place there. There was as pet store there, so of course we stopped in with Lucy. They had a sale on Christmas stuff and we got a couple of toys cheap.
On the way back we stopped at HEB to get something for dinner. We got some really good fish. We also stopped at Circle C. It was almost dark, but Lucy did a whole lot of retrieves.
We might go to a shoot tomorrow. It's supposed to be cold and windy. If it is, we won't go.
