Well today started out as a good day. I woke up at 5:30am for no reason and took my time waking up. Shaine and I went to Sonic for breakfast and were on our way to having a great day. After breakfast we went to Dunham's Sports to do a little shopping. When we were ready to leave and my car decided it just was not going to start. I have never had a dead battery in all of my time driving so I did not have jumper cables. I have never had the need for them so never thought of buying them. We waited for a little bit then someone came jumped the car off. I was concerned about this because it had never happened to me. Shaine kept telling me to stop freaking out that it was not a big deal. Well it turned out to be a big deal. We took the car back to Shaine's house and Kendall took a look at it. The car would not restart after we turned it off. The battery was dry so Kendall refilled the battery with water and jumped it off again. We took it for a drive then came back to the house. Turned the engine off and tried to restart.... nothing. Oh well here we go. Time for a new battery. Yay! note sarcasm. Shaine jumped the car off and off we went to look for a new battery. We went to every parts store in Tullahoma looking for the best price. We ended up at Wal-Mart because they were the cheapest. Let me tell you car batteries are not cheap. So while the wonderful people at Wal-Mart were installing my new battery we did a little shopping. We were planning on shooting Shaine's new steel target. So we only need ammo and a plant hanger. So we looked all around for the plant hanger and had to ask for help come to find out they are called shepherd's hooks. So learned something new today. So we finished shopping and checked out. When we got to the car we both were very anxious to see if the battery was the true problem. In the back of our minds we were terrified the car was not going to start. The car started right up without hesitation thank goodness. We headed home to get ready to shoot the new target.
Earlier this month Shaine bought a Steel target. This target is suppose to last forever. He has been working so much here lately and it was getting to him that he had not gotten to shoot his target yet. While I was loading up the guns Shaine went out to set up the target. It is only an 8 in target so it is a bit of a challenge to hit. When you do hit the target it makes a ting sound so you know when you hit it. The target is so cool. Shooting today really helped me forget about how crazy the car battery incident. So over all had a wonderful day with Shaine just hope next weekend is less eventful.
