Day 2196

 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.
