Day 890

We got to the club at 7:30.  They had coffee, donuts, and breakfast burritos.  After last night I wasn't about to eat anything.  I had half a cup of heavily doctored coffee.

Just about all of the setup had been done yesterday.  So we milled around and talked with folks until Mark decided to give the greeting/safety speech and start handing out guns.

Ellen and I did the warmups.  There were three machines.  One was fairly easy, and the other two were hard.  I asked Rick for a wrench and let off the spring of one to make it medium.  We ran that for about an hour before the start of the match.

Ellen kind of stayed with one squad.  I walked between stations, stopping at each one with a squad.  I help them at that station, and then walk to another station.  That way I got to work with a lot of people.  They seemed to appreciate it and I had fun.

When they were about 2/3 done I got the guns and met Ellen at the Flurry.  We shot it three time by ourselves, and twice with teams.  It was really fun.  We shot the first and last pretty well, and sucked at the second one.  We ended up with quite a few tickets.

I ate lunch, even though I thought it was a risk.  It was BBQ again, and at least as good as Salt Lick.  I didn't have any problems.  I think last night was due to the 4 Taco Bell tacos I had for lunch yesterday.  That food truly makes you run for the border.

Our tickets translated into quite a few prizes.  We turned some back (along with the reloader we won last year).  We kept a Leatherman, some electronic earmuffs, a camelback, a shotgun cleaning kit, and a shooting shirt.  Mark also gave us some nice Carhartt coats.  Unfortunately they are too big.

Afterwards we helped cleanup and put things away.  Of course that takes quite awhile.  We were done about 6.  We were really tired when we got home.  Dinner was a sandwich.  Afterwards it was surfing and TV.
