Day 169

It was an estate sailing day.  The first place I went to had some neat old tools.  They were in rough shape, all rusty.  However they were old, some handmade.  I would have liked to buy a couple for yard art.  Unfortunately the guy who had priced them was dreaming.  Everything was 2 or 3 times what they were worth.  And he wouldn't come down on any of his prices.  Oh well.

The second sale didn't start until noon.  It was near McBride's, so I stopped there.  They actually had 9mm at a almost decent price, so I bought a box.  I also bought some snap caps so I could work the trigger on the 709.

I got to the second sale about 3 minutes before it opened.  Unfortunately they decided to make us wait outside for an additional 10 minutes.  In addition I wasn't in the first group let in.  It was hot and humid and I was sweating by the time I got in.  They had three marble topped chests that would have made great microwave stands.  I just didn't want to buy one without Ellen.

I picked up the mail and ran the dog at Circle C on the way home.  There were two tax documents in the mail.  So I had to cut out little pieces of paper to block out the identifying info, scan them, and email them to Ellen.

It was nice and warm, so after lunch I went outside and set on the porch and read my zombie book.  It has some really good stories in it.  It finally got too hot to stay outside and I finished reading inside.

In the evening I took apart the 709 and greased the trigger sear real well.  Then I watched TV and continually pulled the 709 trigger.  I pulled it 1000 time in double action and 500 times in single action.  The result isn't perfect, but it is definitely improved.
