Gretchen is going to have to go to the hall of fame dinner, so we went back to the club in the morning to get some tickets. Hopefully we'll be able to eat with her.
After buying the tickets we ran the dog. She was really happy. The problem was that everything was really muddy. So we went up the hill behind registration until we found an area that was more grass than mud. Lucy did a whole lot of long retrieves.
After that we went down vendors row. We got some cheap shirts and this neat flashlight shaped like a Winchester shotshell ($3). I talked to the Caesar Guerini booth and Ellen test shot a Syrene gun. She really liked it. I found out that they have another gun with metal on the gunstock. I might order it instead of the Apex.
We talked to Lonesome Charlie and his daughter. She seems to be surviving her cancer. That's really good.
We did a little more walking, but not much. It was a San Antonio steam hath day and getting hotter as the day went on. I wanted to get a light raincoat in case it rained while we were shooting. So we went over to the shopping center at Culebra and 1604.
I went to Ross and Marshall's. I shouldn't have bothered. They are almost exclusively women's stores. Then I went to Dick's. They had a Columbia rain jacket for $40 and a breathable one for $60. I know if I'm out there with the rain jacket I'll be more than willing to pay $60 for the breathable version. I actually think it's really close to the jacket I bought in Houston at Bass Pro Shop for the same price.
After that we took the dog home. It was way too hot for her to be in the car. Then we went to HEB to pick up a few things. After that we went back to the trailer and spent the rest of the day and evening in the trailer hiding out from the heat and humidity.
It's supposed to be cooler tomorrow. I hope that's true.
