Trying not to be Taser-worthy . . .
My morning started about 10:30 (Jan’s started about 8:30), with a big pot of hot coffee, and luckily, no circuit breaker kicking out.
Jan did good.
While Jan read and watched TV, I worked on the layout map of the fairgrounds using the data Nick and I compiled yesterday. This will give us a comprehensive map showing all the hookups at the fairgrounds, making it easier to park incoming RV’s quickly and efficiently.
Around noon Jan fixed us a lunch of turkey sandwiches with cranberry horseradish and mayo with Tabasco. Nice and Spicy!
A little after 1pm Nick and I headed over to the gun show being held here at the fairgrounds. Neither one of us were looking for anything in particular, but did have some ideas.
I bought 3 magazines for my M1 Carbine. You can never too much ammo, or too many magazines to hold it.
As I was leaving for the gun show, I asked Jan if I could pick her up anything. She laughingly said “A Taser”.
I said I wasn’t sure that was a good idea since I’m the one she’s around most of the time, and I might not feel too safe.
She said “Just don’t do anything ‘Taser-worthy’ and you’ll be fine.”
So, riding that ragged edge as usual, I bought her one.
This one.
Trying to avoid being ‘Taser-worthy’, and hedging my bets, I also bought her some handcrafted sterling silver beaded earrings.
Nick bought an avocado.
We got back to the rigs a little before 3pm, and I went back to work on the layout map. Then Barb Westerfield came by to invite us over for a tour of their new coach. Also spent some time getting to know their cat ‘Pansy’.
Getting back to the rig, I started taking our Moen shower faucet apart, so I can replace the cartridge to eliminate a slow drip. But the cartridge is apparently the original one that’s been there since 1999 and it’s stuck. So tomorrow I’ll have to get a cartridge puller to get it out without breaking something.
About 5:30 Nick and Terry came over and we all went over to EAT, our favorite local Chinese buffet. And as usual, we spent more time talking than eating.
You’d think Nick and I would be skinnier in that case, but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work that way.
Coming home a little after 7pm, we passed The Sticker Bus parked across the street from Wal-Mart.
We’re not sure what they sell, but we assume it’s stickers, since it’s called “The Sticker Bus”. And although you can’t tell from these nighttime pics, it’s covered with thousands of stickers. Maybe we’ll get a chance to check it out in the daytime tomorrow.
Back in the rig, we spent a while longer talking with Nick and Terry, before calling it a night.

Thought for the Day:
Remember, effective gun control involves effective recoil management.
