Well it's Memorial day and all the flags are flying and everyone is doing what they usually do on Memorial Day.
I have started to go to the gym on a regular basis and did my usual set this morning.  Came home and found Colleen had come to visit.  Since she was already here she  volunteered to help me get the old ceiling lights down and the new panels in.  What a big help.  I could have done it by myself but it was 1/4 the job with her help.
I am going to try to make the gym 3 times a week.  I will shoot for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but you know the best laid plans of .........  Oh well, I will try.
Sounds like next week I get to go to Ohio.  Looking forward to that. I need to get the van serviced and my hair cut but since I am no longer interrupted by that nasty old job.  I bet I can get lots of stuff done.  I am going to try to make a turned box this week.  Let's see how that goes.

Went to the range yesterday and Colleen went with me.  What a glorious day.  We took the 308 and had a really nice time.  The gun is starting to shoot really well. Most of the shots came within 1-2 inches of the aim point at 100 yards.  It was a double whammy as the club meeting was yesterday and Colleen got to see how reverent and meaningful one of those is.  They only take 15 or 20 minutes but we get a lot done.
Mom has been supper.  She is considering May my birthday and is treating me like a King.  ONLY 3 weeks till the big R.  It really is coming. The only fly in the ointment now is that the legislature is considering an expo facto bill to take away our health insurance.  This is a big deal as we have been promised that if we work there 20 years they will cover us for health insurance.  I can get supplemental medicare for ~ $3 a day but it is the principle of the thing.  These folks have NO shame nor HONOR.
