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

[anti-squirrel]

Yesterday after work, I picked up dog-mines (neverending task with 9 dogs here), used the weed-wacker, and then mowed.  I have only about .6 acres so it doesn't take long to push.  My 4-stroke line-trimmer is on semi-retirement, so I may give it to a buddy who is starting his own lawncare company.  Darn thing is 21 years old and still cuts like a champ.  I have a walk-behind line trimmer I use for big lot clearing, and a feather-weight 2-stroke I perma-borrowed from my father when I last visited.  Considering I bought it for him nearly 20 years ago, it owes nobody nothin'!  Also big testament to keeping small engines in good shape   Anyway, it was hot and humid, about what I expected. 

I was wrapping up the mowing when Sonja got home from work- right as Amazon showed up with a new skateboard for me.  I've been teaching Sonja how to cruise around on a long-board in preparation for snowboarding this upcoming winter.  Hah, pair of 50 year olds out cruising the hood.

Matt- I'm a bit envious- we don't have space for a pool table.  OTOH, we can take 45 yard shots in the backyard with the airguns so it's all trade-offs.

Kris- I'm intrigued by that fogger.  OTOH, as I walked Sonja out this morning to the van, we stopped and watched bats for a good 5 minutes cartwheeling and playing/eating the bugs.  The neighborhood rides the last couple nights have almost required full-face helmets to protect from being pelted with bugs.

Longboards!  That's so cool.  I need to get out on mine.  We have a few...  Some we made. Some we bought.  It's fun to surf the streets!

I have this one.

Still got my old dog town board.  Mostly use it as a furniture dolly these days.  I think I'm a little too delicate for boarding right now.

I love to watch the bats at dusk chasing down bugs too Peter.

Got a new mole trap and set it then mowed for over an hour then found it already caught the sucker. Was still alive so I had the absolute privilege of stomping the ever loving squeeze out of it several times to show my gratitude for it tearing up the ground by my generator. The pic is actual size. Never seen a ginge before as I'm used to only gray ones. May it rest in pisz.

Did tree trimming after it rained so the droplets falling from the limbs onto me kept me cool.

Still clearing the property line down my 800' driveway.  Cutting hedges, oak, saw briars, shoemake, poplar, &  sweetgum saplings.... I'm stacking in piles and pulling them with my 4-wheeler. I've got two more days before I finished.

The baseball game lasted longer than the time limit because of a slight delay due to electrical activity in the sky - lightning and thunder.  My grandson's team won 5 - 2.  He was the starting pitcher.  For the game, he pitched 75 pitches before being relieved.  He pitched a no hitter.  While he was pitching, he shut out the other team.  He struck out nine and put out another who hit the ball back to the pitcher - he threw the kid out at first.  And in addition to all that, he hit an in the park HOME RUN.
Yes, I am a proud grandfather.

Cool! I bet you taught him some.

[Bicycleman]

Hummm?  Jerry, it might be the opposite - him teaching Grandad.
At any rate, it was his best game that I have attended.  Really enjoyable for everyone supporting our team.  For the other team, not so much.

Yesterday I rode the motorcycle to San Diego, walked the pier, beach/tide pools and saw some crabs and other marine life in them and went to Luigi's Pizza. They make good Pizza including a 30", they sell slices that are bigger than a small pizza at most places. Me and the wife shared a medium while my grandson that rode down too got two slices which he almost finished. When he saw the slices he said. OOPs I made a mistake. He had been there 10 years ago when he was eight years old but thought his memory of the big slices was just a "kid memory" LOL.

We rode the scenic route there and it took about 3 hours we came back on the freeway which took a little over an hour. That freeway traffic was flowing along at up to 90mph.

Lying in my hammock and smoking a big one.  I don't worry about mowing the grass.  I'm just white trash.  I mow the yard maybe twice a year.  It's too much work dodging all the old cars, boats, trailers, and just junk in my yard.  One of the advantages of living in the swamp.  No HOA!

Ha ha!  Too funny. 
Sometimes I think it would be nice to not keep the yard up.  I’d save a lot of time even though the kids team up to do most of it. 

Today I am doing another marathon shift (32 hours).  Seems that is the norm for me on Friday/Saturdays.  At least a double on Saturdays is the norm.  I just had 3 days off work last week and I already could use another week off.  I’ve been burning through a bunch of leave time....  I had better hold off or I won’t have enough to take off the month of December.  Last year I only worked 8 days between thanksgiving and New Years.  That was nice!  I hope to take the whole month off this year.  I can hope anyway.  Have to have goals....

Sounds like someone is getting excited to retire!   Good for you.  How many years? 

I’m at 21 years where I am.  I realistically have 14 to go?  Going at 30 is too early for me.  I think even if I do retire I’ll go do something else part time?  Not sure.  We will have to see how things go.  I may not even be alive then.  Still, it’s something to work towards.

I worked so hard at NOT working while I was working that by the time I retired, I had it down to a science.

LOL!
I hated my first career but I made so much money at it that it was hard to give up.  I retired and swore I would never work for anyone except myself again.  Then I discovered something that I love to do.  Doing something that you love is not work!

Went outside during the blow over of a storm. Took some nice shots of an angry sky. I have another camera I bought this week and it is flawless. Really getting into using a digital SLR. I have adapters so I can use them like my old film cameras, except now I can see the results right away. bought three lens for the new camera and two more for my other "digi's" . More filters on the way etc. Going to have to see about selling all my film SLR's. Very enjoyable day today.

Carter, I was really joking.  I too loved my work.  I was an high school teacher and had some of the best student in the whole world.  I taught for over 31 years.  At the age of 64, I had enough set aside to live well.  That is what I have been concentrating on for 13 years now.  There is time to hunt and fish, bicycle ride, enjoy the grandsons, and live healthy.

  I'm almost too embarrassed to say
 While mowing lawn this afternoon, I was making my outside rounds and got a little too close to my barely used Remington big bore field target  took a small chunk of metal off the front hinge area, and bent it a bit , but think I can heat it up and have roast pig and a working target again 
 Last weekend I cut the corner too short with my John Deere AMT and squashed my .22 rimfire spinners, another project

James, you sound like my dad when he put the IH in the canal in back of our home.  Luckily, I was able to pull him out with my truck; and no damage to him, the tractor, or my truck.  The belly mower is what kept it from going in - all four wheels.  If that had happened, it would have taken a tow truck extraction.
