On the way home, we stopped by Dairy Queen and had a blizzard. Got home and learned that Milady's truck wouldn't start. Went to Auto-Zone and bought a battery. Installed same. Cleaned shotgun. Kids went home.
I'm going to get a shower.

Wadda Day
I awoke this morning with plans for the day. Playing in the woods with my grandsons. I went outside and fixed a flat that had appeared on Milady's car yesterday, re-stowed the spare and returned everything to normal. Then I went out to the bath-house to pack an ice-chest for the days outing. Found a terrible sewerage problem that entailed a trip to the hardware store and much cussing while clearing a clogged sewer pipe. Reseated the toilet in the bath-house with a new wax ring, then went to the lease. Had fun. Took a .410 shotgun and let the boys shoot at cola cans. Completed some instruction on basic gun safety and peppered the cans with birdshot.

But you DID get some shooting in... :-) Recoil therapy works wonders, as does time with grand kids!
Sewer AND two broken cars? You are amazing, PawPaw. For me, a day like that would require rescuing by aid of a decent Scotch.
The grandkids and the .410 ARE a plus, though.
On the other hand changing a flat and installing a new battery are not all that bad without rain running down your neck. And yes, .410's and Grandkids do tend to make for a cheerful day.

"Recoil therapy," huh, Old NFO? I gotta remember that one! It's a good one!
