It was a pretty long day. We got up at 6:45, had a little breakfast, and went to the club. I'm glad we shot in the morning, because it was pretty warm and very humid. I shot OK, Ellen didn't do as well as yesterday. We found out later that I tied for third in class. I wasn't at the shoot off, so I got 4th. It kind of pains me that I missed 2 on the last station that I could have easily shot if I'd been paying attention. I still ended up with 5 punches, but no money.
The rotation finished in an hour and a half. We went back to the park and were on the road by a little after 10. Traffic on 1604 wasn't bad, but once we got on I10 it was a pain until we got to Boerne. After that it was OK all the way to Kerrville. It was going so well that I decided to go on to Junction. By Junction we were bucking a headwind and mileage was down below 10mpg.
I wasn't feeling tired, so I decided to go onto Fort Stockton. The plan was to make the next day a short one. The headwind got up to 25-30 mph. Mileage went down to about 9. I was tired by the time we got to Fort Stockton. We made it about 4:30. That meant we got up, shot 100 tournament targets, hooked up, and drove 300 miles in one day.
When we got to the park the wind was blowing hard enough to make it hard to walk. I had to put down the back stabilizers because the wind was rocking the trailer like a boat. I got the trailer hooked up and then sat down in the recliner. Of course it was uncomfortable because of no AC, but it wasn't real bad. I didn't do anything for the rest of the evening. I didn't even get out the computer. That's why this entry is a day late.
