I woke up before 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. It was supposed to get hot today, so after breakfast I took the Perazzi to the shed to clean it.
I decided to give the gun a complete bath. In addition to the usual I removed and cleaned the trigger and the ejectors. I almost had a disaster. When reassembling one of the ejectors I launched the keeper into space. I spent quite a while moving things and searching the bench, work table, and shelves. No luck. I started looking on the floor and found it immediately. If I'd just started there I would have saved a lot of effort.
One weird thing. The barrel was pretty dirty, as was the IC choke. However the LM choke was almost pristine. By the time I was finished it was noon and getting too hot to work in the shed even with the fan.
I needed to return a servo I'd ordered from Amazon by mistake. I got the return code and then we drove to the UPS store to return it. There were half a dozen people in line in front of us. 4 of them were returning things.
After that we went to Lowe's to get some linseed oil. The stock on the Perazzi has a lot of wear. I want to freshen up parts of it with the oil. In passing I noticed that half the checkering has been worn off. I may try to get that fixed over the winter. We ate lunch at a pizza place. It was nice to eat something other thna frozen pizza.
By the time we got home it was hot. We spent the rest of the day and evening sheltering in the trailer. It eventually got up to over 102. Woof.
Dinner was leftovers. After dinner was surfing and TV.
