I got up at 8, did the pet stuff and had breakfast. Then I got out all of the stuff for shooting and loaded it into the car. We waited a while and then left for Capitol City.
We got there in good time, traffic was light. The day was bright and not too warm. We got a cart and shot the blue course and the white course. It was fun, but it also showed that I have a long way to go before I'm back to shooting like I used to. I used the 12 ga. It's certainly not as nimble as the 20, but it does reach out a little better.
We were finished a little after noon. We drove back home. We stopped at the post office along the way and also Mickey D's. I had a craving for dog meat.
We got home about 2. We spent the next two hours moving stuff to the trailer. We moved a lot of food as well as some things like the cameras. We still have a lot to do. At 4 Ellen went to teach the kids. I went to the garage to clean the gun.
I have never seen a gun half as dirty as my gun was. 5 boxes of Mexican shells had mad it a disaster. I ran patches through, then gun cleaner, the a brush on a drill, and it was still filthy. I repeated the whole process with another cleaner and it finally came clean. The whole operation took about 2 hours. I will never shoot those shells again. Unfortunately it appears that there is a little corrosion on the top barrel. I can't blame the shells, but I wouldn't be surprised if they caused it.
I went inside intending to eat dinner (leftovers) and then working on the Ryft. After dinner I was just too tired. I ended up watching TV all evening instead. Unfortunately that makes me behind on the todo list. I'll have to work harder tomorrow.
