Went to a little gun show Saturday morning to look at a Parker a guy told me he wanted to sell. Gun wasn't much and the price was a little sporty so I took a quick pass. Did pick up a great Brauer Bros. shoulder holster in the original box for $5 so not a total waste.

Went out Saturday night with my friend Julie, had a great steak dinner and got gloriously drunk. She had a little health scare recently and spent a long stretch in the hospital. She's back on track now and doing well, it was her first evening out on the town since she got out of the hospital and we made it a good one.

Slept late on Sunday needless to say. Got up and took four aspirin, made coffee, cooked a little breakfast, and watched Rio Lobo on DVD. Spent the rest of the day working on the archives of my old Order of the Arrow Lodge from down home.

Made some good progress there, filled a couple more huge binders with the paperwork I've accumulated over the years. Nearly done with the chore now, just the stuff from the 80's and 90's left to go. They merged us out in 1994 I'm sad to say.

Next chore is doing all the Council historical paper the same way. There's only about 12 copy paper boxes full, it might take me the rest of my natural life.

One of our old Lodge officers gave me two huge boxes I've barely touched other than to sort out the OA stuff from the Council and I bought another huge collection from a guy in New York State this past spring. I must be nuts.......
