Day 699

We weren't due in Portland until noon, so we didn't have to get up early.  After pet stuff, breakfast, and a little surfing we went to the club.  I took back a couple of guns that we'd taken to Tri-county and got the Tikka I bought years ago.

When I tried to zero the scope on the Tikka when I bought it I couldn't even come close.  When I looked at it today, the reason was obvious.  I had the scope mounted 90 degrees off.  That's because of some writing that they put on the bottom of the scope.  I remounted the scope and bore sighted it.  I hope I have a chance to shoot it before we leave.

I was going to mount the scope on the Henry, but they gave me the wrong scope mounts.  So we left wearly for Portland.  I stopped at Sportsman's and exchanged the mounts.  I also stopped at Home Depot.  I was going to get an electrical box for the new shed light that I bought at Costco yesterday.  I ended up buying two, along with another light.  I want it bright in the shed.

After that we went to the picnic.  Hooch had Mom there.  Martha and the kids were painting faces.  Ellen joined them.  The food vendors wouldn't let me get food because of the dog.  So I sat in the shade surfing.  After about an hour I got sick of that and went to see Hooch.  He took the dog, but by then the food vendors were closed.  So I took the dog and went to Mickey D's for lunch.  I don't like their food anymore.

I went back to the picnic and talked with Hooch for awhile.  There was a big line for face painting, so everyone else was tearing down by the time the line was done.  Hooch and I helped for awhile.  Then we went to his place.

We spent the afternoon on the deck.  Hooch tried for hours to get his internet to play with his TV, but it never did.  For dinner we went to the Mexican place on Barnes.  I had the worst taco salsd I've ever had.  It was cheese and meat melted on a couple of large tortilla chips and then covered with shredded lettuce.  Some of the things other people ordered looked good, though.

We took Mom home after that and hit the road.  It was just about 8, and traffic was already beginning to slow even though work doesn't start until 9.
