lift the gun up to my shoulder for another shot if I wanted to. Luckily I got it first shot. After that I started shooting with the butt just under my arm but because there was nothing to stop the recoil this way my shooting average dropped considerably. By some act of fate I got stuck with the 16 gauge. It hasn't got as much power but at least I could shoot it from my shoulder and my percentage picked up. But my shoulder still has memories of the 12 gauge. Sometimes it is quite painful but with a month in Wash. should heal it up. But what a price to pay to heal an arm. Go to Washington, leave the Pacific Arrgh! I wonder what this maid thinks. Out of two days here with Roy the maid has seen only me. I sleep on the couch so only one bed is being slept in and right now there is 14 empty coka bottles 3 empty giant mixer bottles. 1 empty gin bottle. 9 tiftths of various Alcohols sitting around, no food in cupboard, luggage of 3 people all over fish balls all over, typewriter in middle of floor. T empty glasses all over I wonder what opinion she has of me.
