It was up when the alarm went off today. Actually the alarm didn't go off because I'd turned it off while we were gone. I got up at 7:30 anyway. I did the pet thing and ate breakfast. By 8:15 I was hauling gravel.
I worked until 10:20. I hauled 21 or 22 loads and covered another 20+ feet of the driveway. It looks to me like I have a couple of more days before I run out of gravel. I'm going to run it all out so I have the best idea of how much I'm going to need. I have covered enough of the driveway now to look like I've accomplished something, but there's a lot left to do.
After a shower, rest, and lunch we left to do some errands. Lucy had to stay home. We stopped at the post office. There was a Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupon, so Ellen wanted to use it. We stopped there, and also stopped at Academy so that I could buy some .22 that they had on sale. Ellen and I both got light shirts.
The next stop was Costco for water and Wells Cargo for money. Then it was HEB to pick up a few groceries. The last stop was Tomlinson's because were were low on dog food. I felt guilty that Lucy wasn't along, so I bought her some treats.
It was 101 when we got home, so it was hide out in the house until 5 when I took Lucy to get the mail.
After dinner there was a squirrel raiding the feeders. I shot it, but it was just wounded. It ran over to the woods just on the other side of the fence. When I went out with Lucy she ran to the other side of the fence and started searching. She found the squirrel in less than a minute. She grabbed it and apparently it bit her. Wrong move. She dropped it and it tried to run. She chased it down and shook it just like she does her toys. That was it for the squirrel.
I let her walk around with it in her mouth for awhile. She was really, really, proud. Finally I told her to drop it. She did and I threw it into the neighbor's. There's about 4 of them over there now.
The evening was watching the gun shows on TV.
