Day 141 – work, movies and shooting stuff

I moved the pads, sent the bondout and did the paperwork.  This chip is all but done.  I worked half a day.  Good news (?), my replacement is off to training for most of the week.  I can work with minimal interruption… except that I’m pretty much done.

The evening plan was to go to a free movie preview.  My friend Ray and I went, but we almost didn’t make it.  His scheduled bus broke down and a replacement bus wasn’t coming for an hour and a half (he rides the bus to work every day).  If we were to watch the movie, I’d have to go pick him up first, so off I went.  Well, I live at the bottom of the Bay on the east side, Ray works near Stanford, and our free movie was in South San Jose.  I wound up driving an 80 mile loop.  When we got to the theater, only one ticket was available rather than two.  Fortunately, we found a guy with another spare.  We went downstairs to eat, and just as we were finishing, we got a call – the line was going in and our tickets with it!  We ran upstairs and found our folks just as they were getting to the front of the line.  Such a close call!  The thing is, they let the line in an hour and a half early.  This never happens, but I guess they had a long enough line and they wanted to deny any late comers entrance.  The theater wasn’t really full, but sitting sure beats standing in line.

Over the weekend, Ray also got a new pellet gun so that he might shoot squirrels and pigeons off a friend’s property.  He and I decided to get the gun sighted.  Usually, we would go to our friend’s (close) uphill property, where you’re allowed to shoot, but they weren’t home.  I got the idea of calling another friend who lives way, way up in the hills.  He was home and welcomed the company.  Since it was a long and curvy ride there, we took the yellow car.  It was a fun ride!  We spent the evening shooting targets.  What a great way to cap off a weekend!

Day 141 mood: Happy and relaxed.
