Shoot my new ASG STI Duty One non-blowback and Crosman 1911BB 40001 co2 pistol. Later, if they come in the mail, install a set of aged mock ivory grips on the STI.

They couldn't give me a window of arrival because they are so busy. Best they can do is have the service tech call me 20 minutes before he arrives. In that 20 minutes I need to go home (3 miles from work), open the gates and put the dogs up.Cable tech called just as I was leaving work at 5:00 so we arrived at the house at virtually the same time.Here's the list of zapped units...The main box outside.The battery back up box for the phone.The internet pod.The cable box in the living room.He was here for an hour chasing down the issues and making sure everything was back up and running. He said he had one more job before he was done for the day.Not so fast there buckaroo...Went to the mancave/bar to check things out.That strike hit the router and the laptop down there.Our company just upgraded all the office desktops recently and there are 50 or 60 of the old ones stacked up in the IT office. I'll see if I can get my hands on one of them. I have a 500 gb hard drive here to put in one if I can get one. Then I'll replace my router... I had just bought that one recently.Oh well, coulda been worse... we could be homeless.

My neighbor has a few piles of dirt he said I could have. I’d like to truck over some dirt and see how leveling the new spot goes.

Ditto!Today's plans are YARD WORK!It's been so hot this past week I let it go... Temps are supposed to drop from the mid 90's a whopping 20 degrees to the mid 70's. If I can stay focused I can knock the majority out today the screw off tomorrow on Fathers Day. I got a tub of 30 red wiggler and a fishing pole... a bunch of pellets and air... and a hammock.

I got a tub of 30 red wiggler and a fishing pole... a bunch of pellets and air... and a hammock.I got one better than the neighbor who gave me the dirt… he suggested I ask the next neighbor over to help with his New Holland front end loader/backhoe… said neighbor works nights and told me to just come over and take it myself and use it. It worked out great… I need to work that area just a bit more by hand when I get back home. So this morning I woke up at 0530 CT, at my sister’s house… the view off the back deck is amazing- too big to capture in just one picture. It’s 0620 now and everyone else is still asleep. She’s got 3 dogs and a visitor dog and the girls just had a blast so far. Today we’re going over to my Mom’s and she’s got 2 dogs too! The dogs have been therapeutic for my wife, she hasn’t wanted to be near any dogs since ours went over that rainbow bridge. Tonight we’re having a real whole smoked turkey dinner.
I reckon I ain't livin' right or something....Had a hankerin' for bacon and cheese biscuit with tomato this mornin'. Betty Lou wanted sausage and cheese. So I thought I would just jump in the Titan and run to the local joint and pick some up.I noticed the low fuel light on to I stopped to get gas... put my card in the pump and it told me to see attendant. Went inside and ordered $50 on pump 1. Card declined. SAY WHAT? There is near 4 k in that account. So I go back home and get online.... sure enough.. bank is loaded.. no issues.I run to the ATM to grab a couple hundo. Nope, card won't function... Bank closed until Tuesday.Back home to fire up the GMC because I'll need to drive it Tuesday.It fires up but won't rev past 2k rpm. Dash reads "Reduced engine power".Well I found the culprit... 2 qts low on oil. I add 2 qts and it runs like a top.Good thing I got 2 racks of beer in the fridge....
