Day 893

We got up at 6:45, did pet stuff, and went to the club.  It was 39 degrees when we got there.  We stood around for awhile.  I had a cup of coffee.  Eventually they gave us the station assignments.  Ellen had station 1 in front of the clubhouse.  I had a station on the other course a long way from the clubhouse.  I took the dog and started walking.  It was quite a walk.  I'd left early, so there was only a few people on the courses.  That allowed me to let Lucy off her leash.  She was happy.  I managed to get some swag at a couple of the tents.

When I got to the station there wasn't anything to do.  The course had several vendor tents set up and I walked over to one.  All of the vendors were from the oil and gas industry.  I was talking to two guys that made pumps that pumped natural gas from wells to the pipelines.  These are quite cool things.

After about 45 minutes the shoot started.  They had 12 stations on my course, with A and B squads on all stations.  We were done about 12:30.  I had fun giving some of the shooters some advice.  They were so grateful when it worked.

When I got back to the club they were just starting lunch.  We had to wait quite awhile while the 200 shooters got there's.  The lunch was pork chops, beans, potato salad and rolls.  It was really good.  Lucy got a large percentage of one pork chop.

We talked with Rick for awhile and then went home.  We stopped at Home Depot on the way so I could pick up a couple of things.  When we got home Dola was finishing up the painting.  It's finally done.  I went to the garage and install a latch I'd bought at Hoe Depot.  I also used a vinyl patch kit to fix some small tears in the mower seat before they could become big ones.

The patch kit pissed me off.  The glue tube was under pressure, so when I opened it I got some on the nice shirt I won at the shoot last week.  I'm not sure we'll be able to get it all off.

I also organized some of the stuff that needs to be taken to Oregon.  There's more to do, but I've got some stuff boxed up.  When I finished with that I put all of the stuff on the deck that had been moved for the painting back where it belongs.  It's so nice to have everything back where it belongs, especially the table by the front door and the recycle bins.

Dinner was noodles.  After dinner I watched MMA fights.
