Day 84

This is the last day of 2014.  I'm not sure why people celebrate the new year.  Are they particularly happy that they are a year older?  Oh well.

We got up and went to Cabela's.  I had a $100 gift certificate from Melissa and a coupon that got me things at employee discount.  We ended up buying $300 worth of stuff.  Ellen got some archery stuff.  I got some spare rubbers for the cart and Polaris, a magazine for the .17, and some self defense 9mm ammo.  We each got new shoes.  They're waterproof for the next time we have to shoot at Capitol while it's raining.

After lunch at Dan's we went to the pinball place.  It's across I35 from Cabela's.  It was OK.  They had about 2 dozen machine, including 8 Ball Deluxe.  They wanted $5500 for the game.  Unfortunately many of the machines had very weak flippers.  There were some that were nice, though.  We spent about $15 and left.

After a stop at the post office we went home.  We spent the afternoon and evening watching TV and surfing.  I also did a little reading.

I guess we'll ring in the new year looking at computer screens.  It's too cold to shoot off any fireworks.
