I woke up about 7:30 and played games for a while. Then it was pet stuff and breakfast. We weren't due at Hooch's until after noon, so I went out to the shed.
I spent quite a while making a template for the B74 protector, cutting the protector out, and applying it. When I finished I realized that I should have just cut out something that was a little oversize and then trimmed the edges with an xacto knife. I had some time left over, so I put all of the tools away and cleaned up the area.
When that was done we stopped at the club for ammo and then left for Beaverton. We stopped at Hobbytown so Ellen could get another can of paint. We also bought another present for Sophia. Hooch called to say the road to their place was closed and we'd have to take a back way. Oh well. We also stopped at the Burgerville on I5 on the way up.
We wanted to stop at the pet store on Cornell. We got a few cans of sample pet food there. They had built a Target where the Thriftway was. We went inside just to see. It's a brand new, really nice store. It's laid out as an open space rather than the mazes of the normal stores.
The road to Hooch's was closed, but we didn't have any problem getting there going the back way.
We had a good time at Hooch's. We gave the kids the gifts. They liked the jewelry. We talked outside on the deck for a while and them went inside because it was getting hot. Later on Hooch grilled burgers and the corn for dinner.
After dinner Hooch and I went down to the foot of the deck to feed the fish and talk. Ellen stayed inside with everyone else. Hooch and I walked for hours. None of it was important, we just made conversation about what had been going on in our lives.
We left about 9. The drive back was fast. I like the fact that there doesn't seem to be much speed control anymore.
When we got home we fed a couple of very hungry cats. After that we surfed wor a while and went to bed.
