Day 439

The latest update to Minions has made it so unstable that it is unusable.  So this is the first Minionless day in months.  I'm suffering from withdrawal.  Instead of Minions I found a bunch of anti-Hiliary parody songs and listened to them.  When they ran out I got up and did the pet stuff and had breakfast.

The day was sunny and was supposed to be warm.  So I loaded up the car and went to the club.  The trip was fine, the time at the club could have been better.  When I got out my glasses the temples were broken.  I tried to switch temples with another pair, but I needed tools I didn't have.  So I ended up shooting with the cloudy day glasses.  After five stations the keyh broke and I had to walk back to the clubhouse to get another.  I had to wait 20 minutes in line, and then another 15 while the clerk fought with his computer.

The targets themselves were fine except for one totally broken station and another with an impossible target right in the sun.  It was windy, which made things just right in terms of difficulty.  The weather was about 70.  All in all it was well worth it.  We quit after 100 because we were both tired and hungry.

On the way back we stopped at the yuppie grocery to replace the rolls Lucy ate yesterday.  We didn't run her today because she tired herself out running al over the course while we were shooting.  We stopped at the restaurant across from Harbor Freight for lunch.  It was good.  Lucy was disappointed she didn't get anything, but she gets no treats for awhile due to here inhaling 6 rolls yesterday.

I wanted to go to Home Depot to get a top for the tool chest I bought yesterday.  It was abouit 3 and the traffic off the Brodie exit was really heavy.  It took us 3 or 4 cycles of the light to get on Brodie.  After a quick stop at Home Depot we went to the post office via William Cannon.  Traffic was backed up a long way at the Mopac.  We waited 3 cycles of the light there.

We got the mail and then went home.  I put everything away and then did a little surfing.  At 5:15 I went out to get the mail.  We were supposed to get a package today, but it wasn't there.  So I fixed my glasses.  It wasn't easy, but with the right tools I managed to do it.  Now I just have to get the broken temples fixed if possible.  I went out again at 6 and the package was there.

After dinner I went out to the garage and put the package contents, a shooting bench together.  It's a damn good shooting bench.  Hopefully I can modify it some and make it into a reloading bench.  I also screwed the top I'd bought to the tool chest.  It works nice.

I was in the garage until 8:30.  Ellen's watching competitive shooting and I'm planning on reading.  The damn bag is leaking again, so we'll be changing that.
