Day 1695

I woke up at 7, did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  Then I put all of the shooting stuff in the Ranger.  We were shooting by about 8.

It was a little cool, but pleasant.  I shot a lot better than I have since I had my eyes fixed.  Of course the targets haven't changed, but I tried to shoot challenging pairs.  I did have a couple of presentations that I couldn't hit on a bet.  Oh well.

Lucy enjoyed herself.  At one point she left the rig to go searching for dead mice.  She walked quite a ways while we shot the station.  When we were done she had 100 yards or more to walk to the Ranger.  She was really dragging and didn't leave the rig for the rest of the time.

We got done about 10.  By then the old guys were showing up at the club.  We stopped there and talked for awhile.  Vandy's father showed me a problem with one of the gun racks I'd made.  I had used carriage bolts in the wood.  He needed to take them apart to do a repair and he couldn't get the nut off because the bolt would turn.

I tried to use a clamp to hold the bold head.  It didn't work.  I had to use the Dremel to cut the nut and bolt.  When I'd cut enough I broke it with a chisel.  It took me at least half an hour to do it.

After that I went home and put everything away.  We left for McMinnville after a little surfing.  The drive was fun.  We even got to sit at the front of the ferry.

The fair was about the same size as always.  They did expand into another parking lot for social distancing.  We bought some strawberries and peaches.  We also bought some brownies.  I left my knife to be sharpened while we went to the bakery/cafe for lunch.  It was good, but we had to sit on the curb because the tables were being used.

When we were done we picked up my knife and left.  The knife is much sharper.  It only cost $5 to sharpen it.

We stopped at the post office on the way home.  There wasn't a package notice in the box.  I asked at the desk.  There were two packages waiting for us.

It was in the high 80's when we got home.  I put the gas struts we got on the trailer door.  Now it opens all the way.  After that it was surfing and TV until dinner.

Dinner was leftovers.  After dinner I fixed strawberry shortcake.  It was great.
