Day 3215

 I woke up about 8 and played games for a while.  Then it was p for pet stuff and breakfast.  We couldn't run Abby because it's sewer day.  After some surfing I went out to the shed.

My original intent was to clean up the tools and stuff from yesterday.  However, the case of rusted 12 ga on the floor caught my attention.  It's been there for quite a while now because I've been avoiding dealing with it.  Time's getting short though, so I decided to deal with it.

I took the case out to the chair by the trailer.  I also got out the Dremel (surprise).  The case was still soaking wet even with all of the time in the shed.  There was literally water inside the shell boxes.  All the shells were heavily rusted.  Half the shell boxes fell apart when I tried to get them out of the case.

I used the Dremel with a cutoff  to cut the hull in half.  Then I emptied the shot into a small box, pulled the wad out of the hull, and threw the wad and hull into an empty shell case.  It was a long and dirty process.  It took me at least 2.5 hours to do it, maybe more.  When I was done my hands were covered with rust.  My arms, glasses, and shirt were covered with dust from cutting the hulls.

It was after 1 when I was done.  I ended up with 15 lbs of shot.  That's cool, but I didn't do any reloading at all this year.  I went back inside to have lunch.  I was just starting to eat when the sewer guy showed up.

The sewer guy had a new hose fitting the connects directly to the trailer sewer fitting.  It makes draining the tank faster and a whole lot cleaner.  We were out in record time with none of the usual mess.

I put everything away and went back inside to finish lunch.  Then we went to CVS to pick up drugs.  We also stopped at Lowe's to pick up the stuff I need to replace Abby's tie out in the house.  She's chewed the current won into a tangled mess.  The last stop was Hops n Drops.  I really needed a drink.

We stopped at post office on the way home.  There was the part for the screen door and tires for the RC car.  That gives me something to do tomorrow.  We'll see John and Patty for the last time on Friday.

I sat down to watch videos.  That turned into a very long nap.  When I woke up I had a frozen dinner and returned to videos for the rest of the evening.

There was a corporate shoot this afternoon, so Abby didn't get to run at all today.
