I woke up about 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After breakfast I surfed for a little while while I waited for it to warm up.
When it got up to about 60 I went to the garage. I had a good day working on the rifle. I got the action to work by thoroughly cleaning things, filing rust off some of the inside parts, and rapidly working the action 50 times. I used a glove for that. It still sticks, but not much.
I got the hammer working by hammering it open and closed a few times. Then I used the Dremel to remove the rust scale from the sides. The hammer looks ugly, but it works fine. The only non-functional things left were the trigger safety and the loading gate. I decided to use the Blu cleaning solution. It got the safety loosened up some, but it still wasn't 100% reliable. I decided to soak the safety and receiver in Blu and leave it. I'll work on the loading gate later, it mainly needs rust removal.
I went inside and had lunch. Then I surfed for a while. About 3 I went out for a walk. I used my Sony ear buds listening to music from my phone. It worked really well. I was tired when I got back. The watch said I'd walked 2.5 miles.
Ellen left to coach the kids. I surfed until dinner - left over meat loaf. I wanted to watch TV, but it wasn't working. I unhooked it and spent the rest of the evening watching YouTube videos.
When Ellen came home she said there were packages at the gate. I went out and got two small ones and the motorcycle lift for John. It was so heavy I only got it half way to the house before had to get the cart.
When I got the lift inside the box had a hole in it. Sure enough there were hardware parts missing. We'll be going to ACE tomorrow.
