Didn’t make it to HD yet. Decided to wait until traffic died down.

I set a couple posts for a raspberry trellis and moved my weather station transmitter to the taller post to gain more height. I also started to level an area for a fire pit. Waiting for dinner to finish cooking to eat then I may head out to go get that wood I mentioned earlier.

Yeah, summer is here. Unfortunately, I've got a project to work on outside (pictured below). A storm came through the other night and dropped a pine that wasn't dead, but was rotting nonetheless. It missed my shed, slightly squished my wife's old metal shed (white, hiding behind a bush) and came to rest across a dirt pile from my basement excavation for the addition, all without breaking up. There's about 78 feet of tree laying over in that picture.

That white panel standing against the back corner of my shed ("under" the tree) is one of the metal shed doors, which came off its track recently. That shed was on its last legs already.

It actually broke at about 5 feet above the ground--any lower and it would have really smashed the metal shed. The broken end is hung up on the stump (not quite visible, but hiding at the corner of my shed at the right edge of the picture), so the first order of business was a post and jack right in front of the metal shed to "unload" both the shed and the stump. In a few days, I'll start cutting off manageable pieces starting at the stump end. It's about 14" diameter at the stump and about 12" where it bridges from metal shed to dirt pile.

By the way, that picture is a panoramic shot stitched from a series of pictures. The software I used was free from Microsoft, Image Composite Editor. Pretty weird name but really easy and effective to use. I stood on a chair and shot about 6 or 7 "overlapping" pictures.

That dirt pile is actually piled "square" and level, covering about 1200 feet of 1" black pipe that ultimately will be part of a ground source heat pump scheme (that's what happens when an engineer builds a house...).

I made oatmeal cookies. Well, a "sort" of oatmeal cookies.

I like them and that's all that matters! (grin)

Crunchy and lots of Ginger.

I had to look that up. Nobody named Cheryl here

She's actually been on Craigslist looking for used sheds and even materials that could be turned into a shed, e.g. giant crates someone had for free.
This shed just holds the lawn mower, some tools and beach chairs, and stuff we haven't yet figured out how to throw away.

Opening day for Bugs Bunny here in the Republic.
caniborrowsomeammo and I went to Grizzly Island.
Soon as we were in the weeds we saw the most handsome bull elk.
600 pounds with 6 points on either side.
A moment or two later he woke up his harem and 12-15 more appeared.
Otters, pelicans, skunks and a fine looking blond game warden out checking her skunk traps took up the morning.
No rabbits, though.
One snake...
Personally, I think it was a little wet where we were.
I did bring home four ticks, though...

I decided that I had waaaaay to much that I wanted to get accomplished before my extended holiday weekend came up so I took the next two days off to wrap things up so I can actually relax and enjoy the holiday weekend instead of feeling like I needed to get things done. That being said, I took one of my daughters to class this morning and dropped her off. On the way home I swung by HD and picked up that material I had mentioned. Now I’m home, had breakfast and tea, surfing the airgun sites and getting prepared to replace the kitchen sink. The gutter guys are supposed to show up sometime today and install some gutters on the covered patio and over another section facing the same side as the patio. Then I hope to move outside, weather permitting, and start putting up the material on the ends of my covered storage area. I’m sure I’ll have to run to the hardware store at least once to be able to get the sink drain and drain pipe to line up properly. Well, it just after 9 am, time to go get into it. See you guys in a bit!

Just finished working on my 30 year old Sears Craftsman 20" chainsaw. Replaced all the fuel lines, ordered carburetor kit to replace the innards, yes, I still can get a rebuild kit for it, blew all the bugs and crud out of it, and sharpened the chain. This one will be used to cut and canter logs that I will be milling this month.

You never know know days.... just saying, so be careful in the she shed.

Are you saying some women keep tools in their sheds?

Privateer · « **Reply #134 on:** July 02, 2019, 03:20:10 PM »

Some women marry Tools.

They might keep a tool or two in the she shed, who knows?

I rolled up the door to my equipment shed Monday and I was face to face with a 6 foot chicken snake. It startled both of use equally. I hit my head on the door because I raised up so fast, the snake turn and took off so fast it ran into a cabinet. I died laughing, I honestly think it scared the snake more than it did me.

Definitely not airgun related.. Just giving you a bad time Frank.
Good job on getting out to try for some bunnies, I hope you guys have better luck next time.
It is always nice to run into a nice lady (game warden) with a friendly face and blonde hair..
Did she check you for lead ammo?

Thank you to our advertisers!
