Day 1703

We woke up at 8:15.  After pet stuff and breakfast we loaded up the Ranger and went shooting.  The first couple of stations went well, then my shotgun started to jam.  It started doing it almost every shot.  I ended up going home to give it a through cleaning.

The cleaning took awhile.  First, I couldn't remember how to disassemble it.  I got it apart with some help from the internet.  Then I gave it an extensive cleaning.  By the time I was finished a lot of people were out on the course.  That meant waiting.

I was really pissed when the gun still jammed.  I was about to give up when I noticed that the shells I was shooting were labelled FIOCCHI.  They had come out of a Gun Club box.  They were mixed with the Gun Club shells.  The FIOCCHI shells were trainer loads.  I took them all out of my bag and there were no more jams.

We finished up shooting.  I did OK, but I'm not shooting the gun perfectly since it's so light.  I decided to shoot again in the afternoon.  I didn't like the mod choke, so I bought a LM choke.

I didn't want a sandwich for lunch.  I also didn't want to sit in a drive through line.  So we went to Elmer's.  It was pretty good.  Before that we stopped at the post office.  There were some checks, so stopped at the bank.  It's only open for drive through and the line was long.  Ellen used the ATM instead.

We got two packages today.  One was carpet for the bottom trailer step.  It's been bare.  Lucy slips on it, so she couldn't climb the stairs.  We put it on and now Lucy goes up the stairs like a champ.  The second package was the folding foot stools.  They look neat.  I may sit outside and use one tomorrow.

After that we went inside.  We surfed and watched TV for a couple of hours.  About three we went back out to shoot again.  Dave had already shut down the course for the tournament tomorrow.  Dan would never have done that, especially since Dave has 4 guys working the field.

I shot a round of skeet and a few targets on one sporting station.  I like the way the new choke works.  I'm still having some issues controlling the super light 20 ga.

The rest of the afternoon was TV.  Ellen fixed mac and cheese for dinner.  After dinner was more TV until about 9.  Then there wasn't anything else to watch.  So we turned it off and surfed and played games.
