Day 177

Even though I was up before 8, I didn't do a whole lot today.  I just didn't feel like it.

I did go out and work on the layout a little.  I was going to develop a method to smooth out the junctions in the track.  I was going to start with one on one of the high sections.  The only problem was that both high sections had only smooth junctions.  I didn't want to mess with the bottom section, so I added track nails to both high sections instead.  After that I quit accomplishing anything for the day.

I did a lot of surfing and a little reading.  About mid afternoon a squirrel showed up.  He wasn't very bright.  I didn't even bother going around the house.  I just opened the back door.  He ran to the fence and looked at me.  I shot him, but it wasn't a good hit and he limped away.  He went a short way into the trees and climbed one.  It was difficult to get a clear shot through the branches, but after a couple of tries I shot him in the heart.

I wish the kill had been a little cleaner.

I didn't run the dog today.  I just didn't feel like going anywhere.

I talked to Lee for awhile when we went for the mail.  It might be possible for us to go shooting in a couple of Sundays.
