Day 3057

 I woke up a little after 8.  I dozed for a while and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  I did a short surfing session and then started taking the shooting stuff out to the car.

The trip to the club was a little annoying.  Every stop light seemed to be red and every person in front of me was slow.  Oh well.  On the other hand it was a beautiful day, sunny but not too hot.  The doctor called while we were driving.  She said my blood work showed that I'm diabetic and they are going to start me on drugs.  Crap.  I'm immediately starting a lose weight/eat healthy diet regimen.

I did shoot like shit though even though I tried.  I guess I have to accept that I'm not ever going to be good again.  Abby liked riding in the cart even though she's not fond of her ear muffs.  Afterwards I ran her in the fields before we left.  She didn't run for a long time, probably because by then it was getting warmer.

The trip home was frustrating for the same reasons as the first trip.  It just wasn't my day for traffic.  We did stop at the post office.  All of my packages from China were there.

I needed to clean my gun when we got home.  I want it to be clean when we start to travel.  It was 85 degrees in the garage, but at least the humidity was low.  I've never seen the barrel that dirty.  I ran a lot of patches through.  Used two different brushes with the drill.  I also used two different types of solvents.  I still couldn't get all of the dirt out.  I spent at leas two hours on it and finally gave up.

I went back inside, put everything away, and fed the animals.  Then I sat down for videos.  As usual that also involved a short nap.

Ellen fixed beef and rice for dinner.  She fixed me an apple for dessert.  There won't be any more sugar for quite a while.  I'm thinking about setting a goal of losing 40 lbs before I start to ease up on the diet.  We'll see.
