Day 1

We left Salem today.  It's been an eventful summer.  Dave and Vandy are getting their feet on the ground.  We helped them with all of their shoots.  They are doing a good job.  They had the state shoot.  They did a really good job putting it on.  Unfortunately there weren't as many shooters as they would have liked.  That was probably because they changed the date to between the Western and the Regional.

Speaking of the Western, it was a really successful shoot.  Unfortunately it's likely to be the last one.  Jeff is dying and Melinda is being a shit.  We had a great time there.  I set the best five stand I've ever set at the lower five stand.  I set the tower five stand harder than last year because Gebben Miles was there (he won Dubai).  He got less than 15.

Mom turned 89 this year.  She's very forgetful.  Dan and I feel that she'll be in assisted living fairly soon.  She cut her leg badly in late August.  Dan and the social worker (Brinn) were gone, so I had to commute every day to tend the dressing.  That lasted for about 10 days.  She still picks at it and apparently it's infected again.

We both ordered Caesar Guerini's from Dave and Vandy.  Ellen got her's, mine's still on order.  Ellen's is a really nice two barrel set that she shoots very well.

We spent A LOT of time going up to Portland this year.  We also went to Sunriver once and to Lincoln City once.  All total we put over 7,000 miles on the car in about 4.5 months.

The trip today was uneventful.  We got a little less mileage than I thought we would get.  It was probably in the low to mid 11's.

When we got to Richland we set up and then just chilled.  Dan and Patsy came over and talked to us for awhile.  Dan just bought a early Bronco that was on sale at the park.  It cost him $1,000.  I'm disappointed he got it before I did.
