Day 944

We got up a little after 8 to do pet stuff and have breakfast.  Then we went to do the laundry.  While Ellen sat at the laundromat I did some errands.  It was more stock bolt candidates at the hardware store, dog crunchies for the club at Coastal, bananas at Mega Foods, and nothing at all at Bi-Mart. 

While I was at Bi-Mart they told me to check my membership number.  My card is so old (12 years) that it was worn off.  I went to customer service to get a replacement.  The numbers are 7 digits long.  Mine starts 093xxxx.  All of the winning numbers started 2xxxxxx.  I don't think I'll be winning anything.

When we got home I took the UGB out to the shed to work on it.  Before I started I had to put awauy all of the stuff I'd piled on the benches.  I also decided to replace the broken compartment door latch on the big trailer.  It broke last year.

Working on the UGB was quite a pain in the ass getting the bolt threaded into the stock.  It turned out that the metric bolts I bought last week worked.  I just had to torque them hard because of the thread lock that was in the bolt hole.

After lunch I dragged Ellen over to the trap field to test out the UGB.  It was too long, which made it hard to control and shoot high.  I didn't hit many, but the gun worked fine.

When I got back I took the UGB back to the shed.  I shortened the stock by removing the spacers.  That was a pain because someone had use thread locker on the bolts.  Then I gave it a bath.  That was even more of a pain because the gun can't be disassembled.

Then I did a little surfing and then took a walk before dinner.  Ellen fixed sausage and hot cakes.  After dinner it was TV and reading.  About 8:30 I noticed that the drawer that Ellen puts the pans in wouldn't close.  Investigation showed that she'd tried to put too many pans in it and broke the bottom.

I took the drawer out to the shed and fixed it.  While doing that on of the cheap Chinese piece of shit clamps broke, so I fixed it, too.

The rest of the evening was surfing and TV.
