Day 172

I got up this morning to go to the shoot.  I left about 8:50 and was at the club at 9:30.  That's about as fast as you can get there.

I paid my money and went out to station 1.  Walter was there with a couple of other people and I joined them.  I shot like shit.  The targets were challenging, and a strong wind made them harder, but that wasn't it.  I just didn't shoot well.  One of the other guys was a AA shooter who was doing worse.  Small consolation.

After the main I ate lunch.  Lucy had it good.  I had picked up a slice of turkey for her.  It turned out to be two slices, so she made out.  The other guys wanted to shoot super sporting so I did, too.  I fucked up the first two stations, but did OK on the other four.  The last station was a "separator" station and I got 9 out of ten.  I left feeling maybe I'm getting out of the slump.

After shooting I did some retrieves for Lucy.  She only did 7, but they were long ones and it was really hot.

I stopped at HEB on the way home and got some vinegar to clean the mirrors on the truck.  They had nasty water spots that I couldn't get off.  The vinegar worked great.  The mirrors are perfect now.

I'd been looking at a snow plow tender on ebay.  The auction was going to end while I was gone.  So I put in the first bid (after 5 days) before I left.  When I got back I had a message that said I'd lost.  The tender had no bids before today at $15.  I bid up to $16.51.  It sold after 7 bids for $36.  All of the bids were in the last minute.  Wow.

After I got home I put everything away and then surfed.  I'm going to spend the rest of the evening watching TV.  I'd like to spray tomorrow but I think it's going to be too windy.  In fact, it might be too windy all week.
