We got up about 8 this morning. There wasn't any early task, so we did pet stuff, had breakfast, and surfed. We reviewed all the kitten name possibilities we had found and settled on Devon. We left for Sandy to pick up the kitten a little after 9. We took the back way there and it was a pleasant drive.
We got to the breeder's at 10:30 - right on time. She brought out the kitten and gave us a little goodie bag with some kitten food and a toy. We put the kitten in the carrier we just bought. The carrier sat on Ellen's lap all the way home. The kitten wasn't all that happy with the process, but he didn't make much noise.
When we got home we set up things for the kitten. We surfed for awhile to make sure everything was OK. Fletcher came down, sniffed the carrier, and hissed at the kitten. I'm not sure he's too thrilled about having a new companion I thought he would be.
The back of the Ranger was piled with garbage, so we made a run to the club. We stopped there and talked with people on the porch for hours. The handguard I've been waiting for was there.
When we went back I took the AR out to the shed to switch handguards. The mounting hoes on the new one matched those of the old. Unfortunately the new barrel nut was about 1/16 inch shorter then the one on the rifle. That meant I had to elongate the holes in the handguard to attach it. Another job for Dremel. I started with a stone - it broke after 1 hole. Then I used a diamond rasp - it filled up with aluminum after 1 1/2 holes. I finished with a mill bit. I should have started with it. It made short work of the rest of the holes.
The mounting screws for the old handguard were hex head. I needed button head. I used the hex ones for now. I'll buy new ones later.
After more surfing and dinner I went to the TVSC meeting at Tri-county. It took them about half an hour to drum the asshole out of the club. The list of things he did were amazing. Lying, allocating Tri-county money to fight TVSC, filing complaints with the county, EPA, and IRS. Those were only part of the things.
After the meeting I went over to Best Buy and bought a $50 blu-ray player for the club.l That way we can actually watch a movie at the next movie night.
The rest of the evening was TV - at least until I fell asleep. I woke up at 11 to go to bed. We closed the doors to the living room and the bedroom so the kitten was confined to the kitchen. You could hear him meowing when we went to bed.
