Day 2199

 I woke up at 8, mainly because Ellen did.  She got up and did the pet stuff.  I got up a little later and had breakfast.

Ellen had gotten up because she had a lesson this morning.  It was raining a little in Dripping Springs, so she delayed it an hour.  I surfed for a while because I felt lazy.  I went ouot to the garage about the time she left.

I went back to work on the rifle.  I cleaned off the remainder of the receiver.  Then I cleaned the loading gate.  That pretty much completes making the rifle functional.  It won't be pretty, but it should shoot.  The only problem is that the action isn't as smooth as it should be.  I might try operating it some more to smooth it out.

I started to clean the rust off the barrel.  I didn't get very fa before the battery on the Dremel died.  I plugged it in and called it quits for the day.  I wasn't done accomplishing things though.  I replaced the plastic box in the truck bed.  It broke on the way from Oregon.  I'd gotten another at an estate sale, so I transferred the contents and threw away the old box.  Then I went inside, took out the garbage, and cleaned the kitchen counters.

I fixed myself some lunch and then started surfing and watching videos.  Eventually I got bored, so I got out the Lego.  I finished step 7 and sorted the parts for step 8 (the last step).  The D11 is complete now except for the blade.  Step 8 is nothing except building and attaching the blade.  There's an amazing number of pieces involved.

Dr. Cox's office called while I was building.  They say I need a CPAP machine.  They're going to set me up with an appointment.

Ellen fixed sausage and pancakes for dinner.  I used prickly pear syrup.  It was OK.

After dinner I started watching TV.  Sort of.  I ended up surfing at the same time.  It's the only way I can stand watching something with commercials.

We're supposed to be at Dripping Springs at 8 tomorrow to work a shoot.  Apparently I need to be there to be instructed on how to pull targets.
