I ate kipper snacks with coffee for breakfast, read my Yeager book, watched “The Dirty Dozen”, talked on the phone for an hour with my brother, napped, went to the sportsmen’s club to terrorize 6 clay birds in some mud with a .22 caliber rifle, lit some burn barrels and stayed until dark. Brought out the folding chairs and table, set up the hurricane lamp and hand crank radio. Looked at the stars, lightning bugs and watched the storm clouds in the distance with some brilliant flashes of lightning and a small crash of thunder or two. Read some more and enjoyed a couple of hard rolls with cold cuts and cheese. Taught a slice of chocolate cake and a glass of rich chocolate milk a thing or two. Was given a gold colored pocket watch engraved with my initials on the back and a cardinal on the front. Also received a CD with my favorite bird calls and some original violin music. Raided the indoor range and scored at least 50lbs of range scrap from the backstop with minimal effort and 15 minutes.
Spent the whole day with my daughter and enjoyed many laughs.
