Day 949

We got up a little after 8, did the pet stuff, and left to go to Rickreal.  We took the ferry.  The road on the other side was a nice drive - especially in the Audi.  The sun was shining and the sky almost clear when we got there.  We left the windows partially open for the dog.

The show was as good as usual.  Unfortunately the food has been taken over by a new group.  They only had breakfast burritos for breakfast.  I looked through the whole show and saw some interesting guns.  Unfortunately there weren't any that were priced such that I wanted to buy them.  The ammo collector wasn't there either, so I couldn't get rid of the antique shotgun shells I have.

We wanted to leave about 11, but there was a huge thunderstorm outside.  Very heavy rain and hail.  So we walked around the show for about 15 minutes until it dies down.  When we got back to the car the entire interior was soaked.  There was even hail in the front seats.  The dog was not happy.

We got the beach towel out of the back and dried the front as well as we could.  We couldn't do everything though, so we drove back home instead of going to Hooch's.  We got more towels there and dried the rest of the car.  I will say that the stuff they put on the interior really helped the process.

After that we went up to see Hooch.  We got there a little after 2 and talked for awhile before it we time to go to the kid's piano recital.  The recital took about 2 hours.  Sophia is all right for her age, and Alicia is getting pretty good.   There were a couple of older students that were quite good.

After that we went back to Hooch's for a little while and then went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner.  That lasted until 8.  We went back to Hooch's for more talking until 9, and then went home.
