Day 1050

We got up at 7 today because we had to have Devin at the vet by 8:30.  We were on the road before 7:30.  We would have had plenty of time, except the traffic jam started just north of the Stafford exit.  It lasted until the Lake Oswego exit.  That would have been OK except 217 was a parking lot from the overpass north.

We got off at the Kruse way exit and took 72nd through Tigard and Hall up to Beaverton.  We managed to get to the vet about 8:20, which was amazing considering the traffic.  We dropped Devin off and I texted Hooch to meet him at TCGC.  We stopped at the coffee shop in Beaverton on the way.

We shot on the 100 yd line.  I sighted in the AR I keep here.  I did both the optical and iron sights.  The optical started on paper, but the irons took a lot of work.  I finished just as we had to leave for Ellen's dentist appointment.  We actually got a late start.  The appointment was for 12:30.  She called them from Sherwood at 12:15.  I said we'd be 5 or 10 minutes late.  They weren't happy, but agreed.

I got behind every slow truck and driver between there and Allen and Murray.  I still managed to get there by 12:40.  I went back to the Beaverton coffee shop while Ellen got a crown.  She came over afterwards.  There's a bakery next door and we bought some cookies for John and Patty.

Patty was running errands and John was rotating the truck tires when we got there.  When all of that was done we spent the afternoon and evening talking and drinking.  We left about 9:30.  It's the last time we will see them until next spring.

When we got home it was feed Devin and go to bed.
