So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?

[Bryan Heimann]

Pay bills, Argue w/ wife, watch tv, hang with my kids, drink beer, argue with wife.  Not all in that order.  Might have touched a airgun when I reached in the safe.

Mowed flooded yard, relocate my band saw and table saw to the shop. Taking it easy due to mild flares, just one of the bad days and making the most of it without to much agony. Hopefully I can get some shooting in on Sunday just mix it up a little and take a break from the clean up.

Wishing you a pain free day tomorrow!  I’m getting tired of pain 

Thanks Unk, I have learned to accept that it will hurt no matter what I do. I just have to keep going, if I don't then it will be hard to do anything. Ya kinda have to keep adapting to it. This time 3 years ago I couldn't even pick up either arm. I was out of work for 3 months because of it. You have to find something to do keep your mind off the pain. I have been able to do some woodworking like I use to years ago and so far it has been a success for me.

Sprayed the inside of the house for fleas.   Although my cat is an indoor (never goes outside), we have a problem with fleas in the summer.   She gets Capstar regularly and flea baths, but still, I started getting fleas on ME recently.   Not as bad as the first summer in this house, but I NEVER had this problem when we lived in an apartment.

BTW, I used to use Permethrin, but upgraded? to Bifenthrin.   I also spray the yard with Bifen.   Unfortunately, I do have neighbors with outdoor animals (cats and dogs) who DO NOT treat their animals for fleas AT ALL!   So, I think that may be at least part of the problem.  (heavy sigh)

At least this summer, I *think* I got ahead of the problem and it is not too bad... yet...  (sigh)

Sometimes all we can do is muscle through it .  I have morphine for the pain inside but nothing touches the pain from the neuropathy. Slowly loosing the use of my legs because of it.   

  I sure hope you can at least sleep at night ! Seems like if I can get 4 hours or so I can handle it. But without the sleep I’m in agony.

Tomorrow is a better day for both of us

Getting older has it's aches and pains bad enough without dealing with what both of you and others are dealing with. Bless you both.

Take inventory and move ahead.   We are all dying after we are born.   The difference is what you do with your time.

And I am no expert on qualifying what is good or bad concerning how you spend it.   By no means.

Kerry it's not so much the time spent, it's the quality of it that is the key. As the ol' adage goes " A bad day of fishing is a better than a good day at work".

Okay, on to bigger and better things, I am up, no pain lets see what I can wreck today here at the house.

Glad to hear it !   Sounds like you can tackle the world today !   I slept, so I can deal with it . At least until it gets hot. .  I think I see a trip to the grocery store in my future. Try to get inspired to eat something . Either some fried catfish or hamburgers on the grill.  I think this the start of a great week.

All we gotta do is lean forward and hope our feet keep up with us

My s10 titel signed into my name. Ordering vet plates then probably some airgun  stuff.

 I just finished up replacing rear brakes and axle seals on my 96 s10 4 cyl. 5 spd. that I took in on trade for a old Polaris 400 2 cycl atv.
 Now just have to register, insure and enjoy the ride

Mine is a 99 4.3l I have replaced the tires, fuel filter, shocks, cleaned the maf, sealed the ac system, cap and rotor, ujoints and diff oil. Need to do plugs and wires. Bought it off of my stepdad cheap because it needed all of that to make it road worthy.

[Back_Roads]

 My next project is a 99 Jimmy with 4.3 needs a new head gasket, oly 85,000 original miles.  I'll probably have to do the brakes also, as it has been sitting way too long.

So far I have surfed the web, ate pancakes and working on my second cup of coffee.  Maybe I’ll shoot, maybe I won’t.  I don’t have the energy to think that far ahead right now.  I just want to be a bump on a log today.

Spent 30 minutes of my life on the phone with Verizon that I will never get back.
All to find out there is an issue with service in our area and they are working to restore it.
I went through 3 tiers of support. All three having me do a lot of button pushing and resetting on my phone. The last guy told me that the next tier would be a 26 minute wait due to the number of calls about this issue in my area...... here's your sign !!!

[maraudinglizard]

Yep, vacation is over it's back to work. I did get a lot of things done despite the weather and my body not cooperating. All good, just another exciting day on the frontier.

Dumped the rain gauge again this morning.  Barry dumped 9.25" of rain Saturday and Sunday.  I picked up a trailer load of limbs out of my yard from my pecan trees.  (4 acres)
Put the box blade on my tractor and pulled the gravel back up the hill on my driveway that had been displayed by Barry's torrential downpour.

Drove several hours through heavy rain with nuts weaving around on I75 at 80 mph with low visibility. All the good serene feeling from spending a few days in Mackinaw City were burned up.  Back to cutting/splitting/stacking firewood and taking care of grandkids. Wonder when I can retire?

I'm 65, retired once, went back to work for insurance,  I work at an Elementary school in the office so I have my summers off, but not really. My daughter is divorced,  with two children still too young to stay at home during the summer so guess who keeps them. They visited their dad one week and went to two 3-day camps this summer.  I rarely get a day I can just do what I want to do. I do look forward to retiring but ...
