Day 2319

I woke up a little before 8, got up and did the pet stuff.  Then I started moving stuff to the truck so we could go to the match.  That all went well and we were on the road by 9.

The trip up was nice and uneventful.  The weather was perfect, very sunny.  Eventually it got up to the mid 80's.  About the only down side is that we had to walk a long way.  They had two courses, set up along the road.  We were shooting the second.  By the time we got to the last station it was half a mile or more back to the parking area.

I shot the 20 ga and had fun.  I shot some of the stations well, and sucked at others.  I need to get back in the mode of paying attentions to every shot.  I also got a little tired.  I missed a lot of targets on the last stations because I stopped holding the gun tight to my shoulder.  My score really sucked - 71.  Oh well.

We got finished and left the club about 1:30.  We stopped at the Dairy Queen in Marble Falls for lunch.  The drive home wasn't as nice as the drive up.  The truck went into a regen.  That wasn't really bad, but it killed the mileage.  When we got to the long one lane section we got stuck behind some asshole doing 45 in the 65.  When we finally got back to four lane we passed her.  She was leading a group of 3 cars full of bicycle assholes.  That's why no one could pass her.  There must have been 20 or more cars backed up behind them.

The second incident was just before RR12.  Another asshole pulled out in front of me.  I had to slam on the brakes to avoid him.  I was prepared, because I watched him sit on the side of the road until the last minute before pulling out.  Oh, and he went about a 100 feet before slamming on his brakes and turning right.

We did manage to get home OK.  I immediately went to the garage.  Some of the ancient 20 ga shells I shot were rusty.  I had to clean the rust out of the barrel and receiver.  I also had to fix the gun cart.  Somewhere along the way one of the plastic side panels had broken.  I noticed it when I unloaded the cart at the club.  I removed the broken panel and cut a new one.  I painted one side of it.  I'll have to wait until tomorrow to paint the other side and install it.

After that I went inside and took a shower.  I was hot and dusty.  After that it was surfing.  Dinner was leftovers and after dinner was more surfing.
