Month: August 2021 (Page 2 of 4)

–Another rotten day–pool didn’t make it to temperature.

–Went to the Gun Range in North Highlands to sell Nathan four more pistols (and learned he’s interested in two more, for a total of seven). Went smoothly.

–Ate at Jack’s Urban Eats, then did some shopping at Bel Air.

–Dug into the BMW paperwork and managed to (a) suspend insurance (will be reactivated with new car) and (b) submit a “release of liability” at DMV.

–Looked up 2021 Colt Python. Turns out they’re a lot like Rolex, and every other item where demand far exceeds supply. MSRP is $1,600, and I almost bought one from Eddy’s at $2,200. Fuck that shit.

–Went to Mike’s Bikes in Folsom where Tom Elken was getting his new Specialized Turbo Vado. Went for a ride, and I learned that I need to do a lot more riding to stay in “shape.”

–No swim.

–Finally looked through Vroom paperwork and sent them a photo of the bill of lading–that I should have sent two days ago.

–Went to Sportaman’s Warehouse, waited a bit (at least they have “take a number”), aced the Firearm Safety test and got my certificate. Looking at a 6″ polished stainless Python at Eddy’s in Mountain View, kind of like I did 50 years ago.

–Made a pizza. Okay, though seemed a little dry.

–Replaced hearing aid batteries around 8:30 PM.

–Got bagels at Noah’s; sock-it-to-me cake at Safeway while looking for Grace’s Vernor’s Diet Ginger Ale (no luck).

–Took a swim and a shower.

–Slow day. Catalogued guns a little, took a swim.

–A guy came to pick up the Beemer. I have a sheet of paper with a scrawled signature on it. Hope he was legit.

–Barbecued burgers, corn and squash.

–Had brunch with Tom Elken and girlfriend Sandy at Friends with Benedicts in El Dorado Hills. She seems nice.

–Took a swim.

–Another bad night–reflux/nausea/chills. Dehydration again. Slept much of the day.

–Took a swim.

–Terrible night of diarrhea, from dehydration I suppose.

–Marie for dinner.
