Day 2197

 We woke up, did the pet stuff, loaded Devon into a carrier, and left for the vet.  We got a little bit of a late start and were about 10 minutes late.  

We told the vet about Devon's weird behavior.  It's a little worrying that he's lost a pound since he was last there.  He definitely has an ear infection.  She gave us two drugs to give him.  He's going to love it.

When that was done we went to the cafe in Dripping Springs for breakfast.  It was good as usual.  They now have a heated case for their pastries.  I had a warm cinnamon roll that was great.

The next stop was ACE.  We bought 40 lbs of bird seed - it was on sale.  I also spent $5 to replace the lost hardware on John's Christmas present.  After that it was home.

I wanted to install the bearings that I got yesterday on the gate.  Unfortunately I didn't have a big enough drill bit.  I ordered one.  It will be there tomorrow.

I decided to do more work on the rifle.  I cleaned off all of the Blu I'd put on yesterday.  Then I gave the action another 50 cranks.  When I was done the action didn't stick anymore and the trigger safety worked.  I'm becoming a fun of that Blu stuff.

I used the Dremel to remove a bunch of the rust on the receiver.  It's gone from everywhere except the left side where it was heaviest.  I soaked it in Blu and left it for the day.

That was the end of the work for the day.  I spent most of the rest of the afternoon surfing and watching videos.  I should have taken a walk, it was a nice day, but I didn't.

Dinner was coconut shrimp.  We spent the rest of the evening watching TV.

A package came at 7.  Ellen didn't tell me until 9.  When I got out there someone had stolen it.  Then dumbass who delivered it had stood the package on a fence post outside the fence rather than putting it inside the fence.  It was easy to see and steal.
