Day 183

Just as a note: we've been gone for half a year.

We got up at 6:20 so that we could be at the club at 7.  Then Mark didn't show up until almost 7:30.

Dave went out and turned on the course.  I loaded up a Yamaha side by side with ammo (30 flats) and took them out to the course.  Three flats per station.  After that I met up with Dave and we set up the flurry machines.  I loaded them and then went back for the rest of the flurry stuff.

After that it was about an hour or more of sitting around until it was time to start.  Breakfast was some left over donuts.  When I went to get the tickets, they also gave me all of the receipts.  That's right, all of the entry money and ticket money to that point.  Don't ask me why.

I worked with a guy named Bobby at the flurry all day.  He did the instruction and the break counting.  I took the money and threw the birds.  We made $500 (I came out correct).  At one point Dave stopped by and one of the squads hired him as a ringer.  That worked out for them as one of the tickets he won won the big prize in the drawing.

After we were done I put everything in the car and started turning off the course.  That was a mistake.  Apparently I was supposed to bring everything back to the clubhouse.  I guess Mark got kind of frazzled.  Eventually someone told me and I rushed everything up there.  I think the only casualty was Mark's nerves.

I did manage to get a lunch.  It was some really good brisket.

After lunch we helped clean everything up and put it away.  Then we drove home.  Over the 300 mile trip - to/from airport, to/from Kerrville, and a couple of trips through Kerrville, we got 30.9 mpg.  I think that was great, especially since a lot of it was at speeds above 70 with the AC on.

As soon as we got home we turned around and went to Z Pizza (because we had a coupon).  Their pizza was a lot better than the last time we were there.

When we got back I immediately took a shower.  I'll be going to bed early.
