We went to the gun show today. The dog stayed at home because it was going to be hot. The show was way up in Cedar Park, an area we hadn't been in before. The last part of the drive would have taken us on a toll road. So we left the freeway and drove on surface streets instead. It wasn't that bad, but it was still a little bit of a pain in the ass.
The show had a lot of people and a lot of vendors. We overheard someone who described things perfectly. He said "it seems gun prices are coming down some, but ammo is really expensive). We saw one guy selling a 500 round brick of .22 for $78. All of the ammo was way overpriced, 2X to 3X what it should be.
I was looking for something to replace the 709, but I didn't see anything that I wanted. There were a couple of pistols that I would have bought if they weren't selling for over their list price.
After the show we ate lunch at this random Chinese place. It was OK, but a little expensive. Then we went over to Fry's. It was interesting driving south on Parmer instead of north. We walked around Fry's for quite awhile, but only bought a couple of small items.
On the way home we stopped at the Post Office and mailed off the paperwork to the cousins. When we got home the dog was ecstatic. She was running around outside with us and woofing for joy. We went out to get the mail with here and extended the walk a little.
A little after we got back Stew was in the back yard again. I let Lucy out to chase him. Stew is one fast rabbit.
