Summer is promised here, again today...

No sound of raining pelting upon our roof to wake us gently, sunlight trying to filter in between the blinds and curtains, we get up to breakfast of French toast and coffee, and I am on schedule so I go edge most of the front yard, just one more sidewalk to edge and I will be finished.

My wife agrees to spend some quality time with me, and I pack the Caravan for traveling to the range and to work on my shooting, next weekend I am working an Appleseed Shoot in Monroe (not too much personal shooting there).

The rifle is fine, my skills need more practice - both dry fire and live, but my rear sight loosened up again and dropped in recoil so I have to fix that problem permanently. My first ten rounds after the spotters were pretty good on the standing position, and I thought I was in a good position for the sitting (wasn't but the sights were already moving) I did well on shifting the Natural Point of Aim, but my groups need tightening and I have to get tension on that rear sight so it doesn't slip. Will clean the rifle and work on the rear sightcover spring and look into going to a National Match sight. As I look at the last target bottom right I see that I hadn't gotten to that solid NPOA, but the sights were also loose after seven rounds.

Another ten rounds at a hundred yard target and I was content and finished shooting for the day we packed up and went out to eat lunch and see STAR TREK, the first movie broke and we got a rain check for another later at our choice. I went to get a haircut and shop a little bit. My wife and I remarked on the number of Sunshine motorcycle riders out on the road having a great time and all the hot rod, custom cars and chrome hangers were well represented also - the road packed but so pretty in many ways. We did get back to see the movie and I don't have to review it, I liked it well and was happy except they didn't get rid of San Francisco Bay before Kirk and Spock saved the rest of the Earth and the Federation. My wife caught up on her sleep, but did want to know where the robots and Yoda were in the story, far in the future, Dear, in a galaxy far far away.

We walked the park and came home to rest, the park was packed with young poor families and friends, Spanaway Lake was hosting big outrigger races, six man paddle teams - could have been Hawaii if it had been salt water with a surf, but it wasn't. The day is done, time to read. Night!
