Day 494

I just turned over when the alarm went off and woke up again at 8:45.  There had been a loud thunderstorm starting at 4.  We got an inch of rain.  I needed to make up the sleep.

After some surfing I got up, did the pet stuff, and had breakfast.  We both started the wash.  Then I got a RMA for the upper that I wanted to return and boxed it up.  At least it won't cost me anything as long as I use DVOR credit - and I will.  I also got out Ellen's DMC and put it in the holster that came yesterday.  It fits perfectly.  The holster has a lot of adjustments which should make it easy for Ellen to use.

One of the first emails that I wrote listed a 1 day sale on the barrel I want to do on my build.  I decided that I might as well buy the rest of the stuff I needed.  That launched an all day search for the best prices.

I eventually ordered a barrel, BCG, charging handle, gas block, gas tube, and muzzle device.  I used three different companies.  It looks like the build is going to cost $1,525.  That's not including a SSA-E trigger if I decide to install one.

That process did take most of the day.  I did leave about 1 for errands.  I ran the dog at Circle C.  It was cool (below 60) and she did over 40 retrieves.  I finally called a halt.  Then I stopped at HEB for a few things.  I also got a sandwich there.  It was good and not very expensive.  Everyone there was buying valentine day stuff.  The last stop was the post office.

Late in the afternoon I took the dog to the mailbox and then did my exercises.

The evening was surfing and TV.
