Day 991

We were up before 6, did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  Ellen went to the clubhouse and I went to station 15.  I loaded the two machines and raised the tower and man lift.  I cleared the station with Dave.  Then Dave asked me to set up a station for tomorrow at the platform b the freeway.

I unloaded two machines from one of the unused 5-stands and hauled them to the station.  I set up low straightaway shots because that's the only thing that can  be thrown there.  I left the springs tight to make it harder.  I told Dave he could just lighten the springs to make it easier (later he did).

At that point I didn't have much to do.  There were plenty of people to watch the course and everything was running smoothly.  I spent some time riding around the course and the rest of the time surfing in the clubhouse.  Ellen and I managed to eat lunch together.  Then it was more of the same until the end of the second rotation.

When it ended I took down the towers and loaded them. Then it was more boring time until the end of the shooting.  I reset the fixed tower and moved the man lift to the farmer's road behind station 2.  Then I walked back to the tower and tracked down Dave Martin.  He had managed to reset up to station 9.

I told Dave I'd go set station 13 while he worked on 9 and 10.  11 and 14 were already done, so we worked together on 12.  After that we were finished resetting the course.  We went back to two and fine tuned the man lift set up.  Then I took Lucy home and fed the animals.

When Lucy was done eating she really wanted to go outside, so I let her.  I stayed until Devon was finished eating.  When I went outside to go back to the club Lucy wasn't there.  She had run back to the club to beg from the shooters eating diner.  I tied her up when I got back.

We had dinner there and Ellen got another award.  After that we went back to the trailer.  The rest of the evening was TV and surfing.
