Busy Monday

 Took the dawg to the groomers this morning, then went to Jena to go junking with Belle's sister. Had a nice lunch, then on the way home stopped by a gun store in Ball we had never noticed.  Talked to those nice folks for a bit, then rescued the dawg from the groomer.

Came home to check the news.  Trumps trial started today.  The one in New York, where he paid off a hooker.  Damned shame when you can't trust a hooker to keep her mouth shut.

I ordered some match .22LR ammo yesterday.  Two bricks were over $100,  I haven't bought much .22 ammo in a while, but I seem to recall that a brick of good ammo, down at the Feed and Seed, was about $20.  That's been a few years ago.  And, I am paying shipping on this order, so that adds to the unit cost.  Still, that's about 12 cents per shot, so that ain't as bad as I've seen it.

Grandson Luke (age 12) has noticed an inconsistency in his standard ammo load, and wanted to try some better ammo.  The state match is coming up, and what good is it to be a PawPaw, if not to order match ammo when the kid needs it.  He has some Eley and some SK coming in, and he'll have to test them both and decide which brand his rifle prefers.  The ammo will be here on Wednesday.
