We got up relatively early today. I'm not sure why, it just seemed right. There was a squirrel raiding the bird feeder, so I took out the pellet gun to deal with it. I hit it with the first shot, but didn't kill it. It ran around in circles, so I shot it again. It still ran in circles. I shot it the third time and it lay down, but was still alive. I had to shoot it twice in the head to kill it. I feel really bad about this. All my other shots were clean kills. This is the first with the new gun. I wonder if it's less powerful than the old one.
I put the new hand guard on. It wasn't too difficult, but it was definitely a two person operation. The new one is a big improvement over the old one. I also ordered a build kit for the second lower. Things look bleak on that front.
It was warmer today, sunny and not a cloud in the sky. So we took Lucy to Circle C. We walked all the way around the park. I didn't run Lucy first. She had a great time running through the trees and bushes. At one time she was running through the bushes and we heard her yelp. There didn't seem to be anything wrong though.
When we got to the far soccer fields there was a practice game going on. We stopped and watched for awhile. I was impressed. There was one guy out there playing defense that was as fat as me.
When we were finished walking I had Lucy do some retrieves. She did a fair amount given she had already explored the park.
On the way home we stopped at Costco for drugs and drinks. It was very crowded. All of the lines were open and there were a lot of tired looking sales clerks.
When we got home it was time to watch football. The Seahawks won. We noticed that Lucy had a big scratch under her back leg. I guess that's why she yelped. She also was a little fragrant. So she got a bath tonight.
