Day 569

Because we didn't shoot until 3:30 there was no incentive to get up early.  I wanted to be up by 9 though in order to see if I could retrieve my timer.  So I got up a little before 9 and did the pet stuff.  Then I went to the office.  Luckily someone had turned the timer in.

I went back to the trailer and had breakfast and did a little surfing.  Then we went to a pet store on Potranco to get some more high power doggy food.  The bag I bought in Austin wasn't going to last long enough.  We also did the "not going to be going near a good grocery store" provisioning at HEB.

When we got home it was some more surfing and lunch.  I could have eaten at the club, but I'm feeling guilty about the last two days and the fact that I won't be exercising today.

We left for the club about 1.  We turned in the practice key and went down vendor's row.  Most of the vendors had already cleared out.  Then we sat at the clubhouse for awhile just watching the world go by.  Ellen checked the scores and found out that I took AA 2 in the 20 ga.  Apparently that's worth 4 punches and maybe a medallion.  I guess as long as there is sub gauge I'll be able to get AA punches.

We went down to the course about 3.  I wanted plenty of time to get ready.  We did have plenty of time, they didn't start shooting until 3:45 or later.

The targets weren't as interesting as yesterday.  There were 5 or 6 stations that were all just 40+ yd crossers.  Some of the other stations were interesting though.  There were a couple of hold ups, but nothing as bad as yesterday.  Ellen shot OK and I shot better than yesterday.  I wish I could practice on that course for a day or two.  It would really help me get my shooting back up to par.  Even with the smoother flow we weren't done until about 6:45.  That meant we missed today's free food.  We just packed up and left.

I stopped and gassed up on the way home and also at the Chinese fast food place by the park.  It was OK and fairly quick.  It was 8 by the time we were finished eating.  I went out and started draining the tanks.  It took half an hour to drain the tanks, flush the hose, and put everything except the hose away.  Then I went and took a quick 20 minute shower before they closes the showers.

When I got back I put the hose away.  Then I put away the guns.  Everything fits better with the new double gun case, but it's still packed really tight.  While I was doing that Ellen was doing general cleanup and cleaning the mess Fletcher left in the shower.  He's slept with us now for two nights without peeing on the bed.  He's not allowed in the bedroom unspervised though.

I got done with everything about 9:30.  The rest of the evening was a little surfing and then bed.  I didn't hook up tonight and there's a lot of stuff to do tomorrow before we can leave.
