All Springer/NP/PCP Air Gun Discussion General > Back Room
So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?
Sqrl Klr:
Better than a guy did in my trails hauling a trailer of family through fast with no hay on the trailer for them to sit on coming up to a culvert bump in the creek with my trail camera taking video of it. One dude saw the bump coming and the wince on his face was epic! They all screamed over the loud hit from the bump too.

I had a 40 year old wooden stool at my gun bench. It was getting wobbly to the point that it was scary for me to sit on. I'm an large old guy and hitting the floor from a collapsing stool would be bad news. My wife spotted the horrible condition and immediately dragged it off to the dump staging area. I did have an extra, very nice, heavy-duty, old industrial quality work stool at my cellar workbench. It's heavy and dirty but I cleaned it up and dragged it up two flights of stairs. That'll be the first part of my workout today.
Now I gotta get back to cleaning up that gun bench. I need more space because I just got in the second load of items to cleanup, fix, photograph and hopefully sell some of them off Just helping out a family friend whose father (also a family friend) passed away.
Blowpipe Sam:
I spent most of the day de-webbing several park buildings. This involves using various brushes, brooms, and scrapers to remove spider webs, spiders, spider egg cases, paper wasp’s nests, and mud-dauber wasp nests from the eaves of the buildings. No other ranger here can be convinced to perform this duty. If I stand there and drive them like rented mules I can get some of the younger guys to do it. It it is easier (Literally!) to do it myself. What a bunch of entitled whiners these guys are!
I declared myself done about 1430 but I made a couple of the new guys sweat cleaning up a bunch of dead dogwood trees I cut down and bucked up. We will burn the wood at tomorrow’s retirement party for my friend Jackie.

Why do old guys end up doing the tough jobs? I'm glad I'm retired. There were a lot of times I wanted to scream at and insult the masculinity of young guys but it was easier and faster to do the tough job myself. I would never have let an old man outdo me at anything when I was the young kid on the job. I'd have died coughing blood first.
Novagun:
Me too. You have to hold your end up .
