Day 1047

We  got up at 8 today, did the  pet stuff and had breakfast.  I fixed Malt-o-Meal.  I made a mess, but it was good.  This pudding only diet gets old quick.  After a little surfing we went to Clackamas to see John.  He has bladder cancer and kidney failure and isn't expected to live for more than a couple of more weeks.

The visit went really well.  Luann's husband was there.  John was looking good and talking well.  So was Angie.  We talked together for awhile and then her husband left.  We talked some more and Luann showed up.  So we had a good conversation with her.  We both left when John fell asleep.

After that I went over to Keith's Guns in Gresham to look at the Ceasar Guerini.  I decided to buy it.  All the people working there were amazed that someone would walk in and buy a $6,500 gun.  Keith, the owner, came out to talk to us while we waited for the approval.

On the way back we stopped at a Safeway so I could buy pudding to eat.  Ellen had Chinese food.  Then we went home.  Traffic was amazingly good going up, but I5 was a little slow on the way back.

When we got home I cleaned the new gun.  It was coated in a preservative.  After that I took it out to shoot.  I shot it well.  Ellen did good with it, too.  We shot about 50 rounds when I noticed that the trigger guard didn't fit the stock very well.  I was concerned that the stock bolt was loose, so we quit.

When we got back to the trailer I took off the butt pad.  The stock bolt was tight.  It's just that the stock to trigger fit is lousy.  I'm going to shoot it.  If it fails, I'll take it to them at Nationals.

After that it started to rain.  We spent the evening surfing and watching TV.  Dinner was pudding and some cake.
