Day 425

I woke up with the alarm.  I really wanted to turn over and go back to sleep, but I didn't.  Instead it was Minions and surfing until about 8:30.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  I contacted DVOR and got a RMA and a shipping label for the wrong magazine.  Then I packed it up.

Ellen called Amazon about returning the electric candles that Pat got us.  They are nice, but we just have absolutely no place to put them.  It's kind of cool that they could issues a return based on the info on the mailing label.

It's supposed to freeze tonight, so I set up the heater in the well house.  I also put a light in the pump shelter.  I had to pry the door open, so I took the time to plane it down and repaint it.  As I was testing the light, the bulb blew. I also put salt in the softener.

Then I went out to the garage to use the bullet puller that I bought yesterday.  The instructions sucked.  A single picture would have been enough.  Instead there were two or three paragraphs that didn't really describe how to use it at all.  I played with it for more than an hour and then gave up.

I went through my reloading stuff and found that I had a press mounted bullet puller, but I didn't have the right collet.  So after I did my exercises I went inside to look at acquiring one.  I looked at Cabela's and Midway, before ending up at Amazon.  Amazon also had the hand one that I was trying to make work.  The comments on it described how to use it, in about two sentences.  I went back outside and pulled about 8 bullets.  Then I reloaded them with the right amount of powder.

After that I went back into the house and had lunch.  Then it was time to do errands.  We went to the post office - there were three more packages there.  Then we went to FedEx to mail the DVOR package.  The next stop was Lowe's for salt and rough usage bulbs for the light that went out.  The last stop was a short one at HEB to get potato chips.

When we got home I surfed and played a little Minions.  Ellen went to Red's.  When she got back she said the reloads worked fine, but were a little stout.  I surfed the first part of the evening away.  Then I kind of watched Ellen's weirdo shows with her when she got home.
