My Yesterday

You never know what you might be doing - and yesterday was a perfect example.
We were going to North Bay to attend the drive in movie which I told you about and which we in fact did. More later....Mike called just as we were leaving for North Bay about 1230 pm to say he was 'at the range' and did we want to drop in. He has invited me to go shooting for a long time and I have been looking forward to it. But this was right out of the blue and there is nothing better than a spontaneous diversion!! We found the Range without trouble although there is no signage except what Mike prompted us to look for off  Highway 17 East just outside North Bay. He had the protective earmuffs and eye glasses for us to use and then lead us through the basics and particulars of three of his collection. Two handguns and a matched set of late 1800's revolvers. We used his own ammunition that he makes himself  including black powder bullets especially for the revolvers. After a few hours of absolute great fun and instruction and of using the targets, we had to leave. I so enjoyed this time - was thrilled! Definitely the highlight of my day (week/month, perhaps). Then to the Chinese Buffet for supper and over to the College parking lot for the movie. It was a long wait until 9:30 pm when ET started. You are supposed to tune into the radio frequency they announce, but the car next to us had their volume up high enough that with our open windows we could hear just fine. I was glad as I didn't have to keep turning the car on and off just to hear the audio of the movie on the radio ( and no chance of the battery going dead) It was a late night though and didn't get home until near 1230 am. And that was my exciting day. Now with the long weekend over it is back to normal again and garden work needing done. Things are going wild and very dry so watering and tying up and eating veg was the order of the day. More raspberry tarts were made to use up the last of the berries. So long for now Take care
