Distractions!

Trying to keep on target, after first waking, is a bear.  While I was awake right around 10:00, getting to the post office by noon was no easy task.  I would look at the time, and see I only had an hour and x minutes, and sort of get uneasy.  Then I'd look again, down to just x minutes, go into a mild panic, and then... Oh!  I ought to check that out, or this out, or get this ready to go, or get a cup of coffee.  The last time I looked, the clock suggested there was, maybe, six minutes.  Depending on what clock base the post office uses.  Yikes!  I was only part way dressed, too!  Well, yeah, I made it.  I think the mailman was chuckling.  Oh yes he was.  No problems there, I was chuckling all the way back, after exiting the front door, on to home, and even now.  Dang kids, pushing the clock like we own it.

I did just a wee bit of tinkering with firearms.  One of the distractions before going was adding a bumper to one of my .22 pistols.  It makes for a much more secure insertion.  When they are extremely flat, getting a quick easy loading is tricky.  You never quite know, without a double check, if the magazine is locked in.  With these bumper additions, it's fast and very easy.  Some of what came today was a longer barrel for the other pistol, and more mag bumpers, which are all now on or in place.  I'll be trying them out today.

First, though, a hike.  Not a long one.  Just a ramble along the river, perhaps an hour, maybe two.  Then, on the way back to town, I'll call my friend to see if he wants to go out.  I have three shops I would like to visit today, if I am not too tired.  It's possible, maybe even probable, if I offer no guarantee.  You'd think I'm trying to come back to life or something, innit?  Yeah, maybe.  We'll see.  Best remember my hat and a chair, for shooting.  I won't be able to stand long with all else and baggage from the last few weeks.  Yum!

Later!

Had to check dates, reservations, and some other things, then crosscheck.  I'm not obsessive about these things, mind you.  But I made arrangements several weeks ago, and had difficulty with one of the items.  Though, in any case, as the time approaches, a last minute check is just a good part of the plan.  Everything checked out, and one thing I thought I was going to need to cancel is actually not going to be a problem.  I'll be able to get my hair trimmed before I go.  Yeah, I like that.  Right... finally... off to a hike.  Later, again, again.
