Day 651

We got up a little late today, around 9.  We did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  Then we went to Silverton.

We stopped at the farmer's market and bought some strawberries and some whole wheat bread.  I noticed a second hand store next door that I hadn't seen last week.  I went there while Ellen sat in the park with the dog.  I scored.  I found a rabbit statue, a coll lighthouse plaque, and a porcelain model of Yaquina Head lighthouse.  They were all at less than estate sale prices.

After that we took our purchases back to the car and walked around town.  We went to a couple of more antique stores, a pawn shop, and an art gallery.  Then we ate at the same place we did last week.  It was still good food and beer.

When we got home we gave Vandy a pint of strawberries.  Then we went out with Gerry to shoot the 5-stand.  I borrowed the F3 I like.  It's a nice gun, but it's barrel is too long (32 inches).  Also, I'd need to get a soft touch for it.  After less than 75 rounds my shoulder hurt and my head ached.

It was late in the afternoon when we finished.  We went back to the club and talked for awhile.  I changed the battery in Vandy's computer.  Some people came in just before closing ans scheduled a lesson with Ellen for tomorrow morning.  That was cool.

We went home after 6 and had dinner.  Then I went out and filled the water tank.  I also reloaded the 20 ga Ellen shot, fixed the broken clamp on the battery charger, and did my exercises.  It was hot, and I was sweating when I was done.  This is the first evening where it didn't cool off at night.  It's 10 and the temp is still 79.

I'll do a little surfing and then go to sleep.
