Day 1688

We got up about 8:15.  After pet stuff and breakfast we went out to weed.

It was a long session, probably an hour and a half.  I was really tired when we were done.  It was worth it though.  The pad is now completely weed free.  We even pulled the weeds underneath the trailer.  The next step will be to spray it.  I'll probably wait until Monday so I can do it when there's no one around.

Did I mention I was tired when I got done?  I went back inside, did  a little surfing,and sat down in the recliner for a nap.  It was nap and TV for the rest of the morning.

I recovered about 1.  I got out the shooting stuff.  Then I took Ellen's gun out to the shed.  I took off the stock to try to figure out why it was doubling.  I couldn't see anything wrong with the mechanism.  However, the stock was loose when I removed it.  The inside of the stock looked like there might be a little interference in one place.  So I used a file to take off a small amount of material on the stock.  Then I put everything back together.

We then went out shooting.  I must have done something because Ellen's gun didn't double once.  We shot a little over 250 rounds.  Dave has a really nice course set up right now.  I had some moments of brilliance followed by moments of suckage.  I do seem to be making some improvement though.  We spent $800 buying 1,800 targets and 5 cases of shells.  I hope by the time it's gone I'll be shooting like I used to.

When we stopped at the club the new stairs for the trailer were there.  I was surprised.  They weren't due for a week.  That gives me something to do tomorrow.  I'll have to buy a bottle jack first though.  The stairs weigh 60 lbs and I have to raise them about a foot in order to install them.

When we got done shooting it was time for dinner.  Ellen fixed a pizza from HEB.  It's some of the last of the Texas food.  After dinner was TV.  I watched a DVD we had with episodes of Tripping the Rift.
