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

Checked one of my trail cams and found these two 10 second videos of rabbits playing together in my corral trap.

I painted a few fishing lures. Here's one of them

Wow! That is NICE!
Do you paint Air Guns?

Thanks Jeff. Sorry, I'm only painting fishing lures right now.

Day 6 of the tree removal saga, this is the dreaded roof wrecker.

And looks to be leaning the wrong way as well.  Not one I'd like to take down without lots of help.

I used a boom lift to get it down, had to take advantage of calm winds this morning to get down. It's gone and I still have a roof and power.

Being a lineman for the last 20+ years, I have been to MANY downed house services due to “weekend warrior” homeowners attempting to trim/remove trees themselves.  There are probably many more cases of success than failure but the failures end up doing more damage than good most times.  ALWAYS play it safe around power lines folks, ALWAYS.

EDIT
I’m not implying that you are a “weekend warrior” Kris.  The advice is for anyone that may read this and consider taking down their own trees (or trimming) that are near ANY voltage of overhead power line.  Call the utility and see what they can do to help or minimize the chance of an electrical contact while doing tree work.

I finally installed the shoe on the base kitchen cabinets after having installed new laminate flooring a couple years ago!  I still got a gold star ⭐️ from Mrs. P.  😁

I agree with you 100% on power line safety, so many people are crippled or killed trying to save money. I have 35 years of operating heavy equipment in the construction and forestry industry.  Part of my training over the years, was look up, look down, and all around before continuing the operation. Take the few minutes to study the situation, look at what is going on, what could go south, can it be safely done or is there a Plan B.

I worked.  Now I'm fixing a tequila based variant on a Moscow Mule.

Fortunately every one that I have personally responded to has been damage to the line or their own equipment/property (or the neighbors), no bodily harm.  And we can’t forget the damage done to the ego when they have to call us and admit their own fault.  Ha ha ha!

I also took the low wiper fluid sensor out of the truck and tried to clean it up since the low wiper light has been on for years in my 2000 Tacoma.  The effort was NOT profitable so I’ll have to either head to the wrecking yard or order the part online.  At $55 for the little part with wiring harness, I think I’ll try the wrecking yard first.

It's official, I've gone off the deep end.
Every time I go into a store I look for stuff to shoot. Today at the Dollar Tree I found 4 mini quiet pellet traps for a buck. They are 2.25" diameter that's perfect to hang from trees at field target distances.
What is it?. It's off brand play dough. The only down side is they only fill the containers 90%, so I may only have 3 full once I stuff them to the rim.

Day 7 of the Messy Michael Cleanup has come to an end. All the dead leaners are gone. Now to clean up the dropped stuff and the brushy stuff away from the house. I have plenty of red maple and oaks that have volunteered on my property so I will be able to move some around. It will be hot next summer without the shade in the morning but that's okay, maples grow pretty quick. Hopefully in a few weeks I can get a garden started and have some fresh greens to cook.

Setting up 3 Roku devices after "Cutting The Cord".......cable tv.

For my efforts, I made a deal with the wife to put my cut towards my Christmas gift 
Now, which PCP should I ask for:

No burnable firewood I take it?
Lots of pine if I recall.

Oh it's burnable and it won't take long to get rid of it either. Yes, it's pine, not good for a fire place but great for an outdoor warming fire.


The view from above, as you can see I was just about maxed out on extension.

Fire-pit night at Kris's!
