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

[Sqrl Klr]

So every every vehicle I owned ended up getting brake improvements right after (or even when) upgrading the quality of the tires.  Next vehicle on the list is my Odyssey.

Very smart as your life and well being is worth the added cost of upgrading as it's way cheaper than a hospital stay. I do the same and the cost has already paid off by saving me from numerous near collisions without loss of control. Don't forget to upgrade the brake fluid if needed as mine did. I monitor mine with ph strips and a brake fluid tester usually changing it every 2yrs.

I finished breaking up (tilling the soil) the ground for my deer food plots. Forcast show rain coming Thursday. So tomorrow or Wednesday we'll plant them. Bought $300 fertilizer and Oats, wheat, winter peas, and rye grass. We have 11 food plots on the 200 acres we hunt.

Went to PT at O dark thirty.  Made a run to the lumber store and combined that with scouting some new hunting locations.  More on that later.  Put up the studs for a new outside wall on the porch.  Hung a window.  Tomorrow, Man Mountain son-in-law and I will put on the siding.  I'm 6'6" tall and close to 300 lbs. but this kid is immense!  6'5" and 450 lbs.  I'm used to being the guy everybody wants to help them on construction projects.  I am loving having him here to help me!

Rode my KTM 625 12.5 miles back from picking up the mail on dirt roads with a flat front tire. Man what a wrestling match that turned into!!🤪 By the time I got home my hands, arms and shoulders were totally beat. As long as the dirt road was straight with no big rocks I could open it up and it would steer just fine but man, in the rocks and tight turns it was a real fight to keep from going on my head. Biggest problem is, northern AZ is full of big rocks!☹️☹️☹️

Spent the day in meetings for the company I work for.
The last meeting was about some new software We are looking at and what we would need to use it.
I recommended a Wacom Cintiq Pro 32 as part of the proposed system.

Pretty expensive way to draw your own targets donchya think?

[Privateer]

SHHH! 
That's just a side benefit.
What We need to do is trace floor plans from pdf files.
That goes through the program We are looking at to place bids.
I'm testing the program on my Notebook and 2 screens now.
It's a pain using a mouse!

I told my Boss you don't want a $500 truck to haul millions in materials.
So look at the system to place bids the same way.

Went to the Doctors, have a Sinus infection, maybe caused by the air quality here in SoCal.
A lot of smoke in the air, a lot of HOT, DRY, triple digit days... all add up to foul air !

I didn't know what to expect, not only the head was screwed up but I was getting the muscle aches like the flu.   COVID-19... the Doctor said don't worry about that, not happening.
he did go for the Blood Workup... just incase I guess !

We will see, no eating tonight after eight.

Might want to get a humidifier for the bedroom even for anything the dry air. We have a vicks brand. Tech tip dont throw out the little pad they include you can recharge it with what ever oils you want. If you have hard water be prepared to deal with buildup or using CLR kind of chemicals to keep it working longer than 6 months.

Good idea, I think that will help a lot.
I've been out here in SoCal for about six years, this is the first time having trouble like this.
Still thinking the Smoke in the air us causing problem.

Thanks again

I hope this smoke is gone soon, I am tired of it. Rain would sure be welcome to wash the air. There is about a 20% chance of some rain on the weekend.

Went out tonight stalking for hogs then on the way back home I saw coon eyes 70yds away so I lured it closer with lip squeaks and then it decided to pass on the mouse and bolted up a tree so I tagged it then it fell 60ft with a loud thud. One less pest to wake me up repeatedly at night via trailcam alerts. I have another coon I need to tag and it's the fattest cuss I've ever seen.

I did shoot today but non airgun related I changed out spark plugs, wires, and ignition coils trying to get rid of a misfire error code and rough running engine on my Tacoma. It worked. 
Also changed out the front brake pads on the drivers side of the big van.  The inside pad was GONE!  I  should have changed the rotor too but I was NOT really wanting to do that.  It will be done later... maybe.  ha ha!

Changed that rotor out tonight after work and the boogered up pad that was torn up by the worn rotor.  All better now.
An auto mechanic I am not.  Always need some tool that I don't have.

Jeff, I have one of those (actually have several pads with stylus)... I bounce back and forth between those, trackball, and mouse.  Lemme tell ya, I'm a southpaw but use a mouse or trackball right-handed.  When you can utilize both types of pointer device simultaneously, you can fly through stuff such as query and coding where you do a lot of copy/paste.

I just flush every 2 years regardless on the rare occasions I keep a vehicle that long.  Given my Titan and Odyssey- both vehicles I love- I'll get back into that habit though.

Good tires and brakes make a world of difference on the West Virginia roads we travel when we head up to Sonja's family properties. 


Side note: when I was stationed in CA, wildfires were present (though not as prevalent as now).  I ran an electric "ozone generator" at home non-stop after seeing how much better they made the air quality on my sub.  They are called that, but what they really are is electrostatic precipitators.  These are used for air filtration while underway.  I've always had at least one for use at home since then.  I HIGHLY recommend one if you have any breathing issues.  Run for about 15 to 30 minutes; just make sure you're either running an errand or at least in a different room.  Only cautionary note is you will be dusting more frequently.  Yes, they produce a very small amount of ozone...  Hence why you don't run them nonstop.  They will literally "knock" all the particulate from smoke out of the air, though.

Pads are supposed to wear evenly so that may be a sign that you have a sticky caliper piston due to a dirty seal. If you didn't clean inside the caliper with a wet soaped rag before installing the rotor to make sure the seals are clean and then grease the back plate of the pads I'd recommend doing so or you'll likely just wind up with another pad worn prematurely. I wouldn't use brake cleaner as it could damage the seals and remove caliper paint if they're painted.

I'd bleed the brake fluid line to that wheel a little too just in case some air developed in there over time. If your caliper has two bleed lines start with the outside first.

You are already talking a foreign language.  Ha ha! 

Thanks for the tips.

My dog is still broke. 
Last night I was woke up to a crying dog at 12:00, 2;30, and finally at 5:00 am. I let her out each time.
We slept on the couch after the first awakening.
Today was a literal $hidt mess in her family room when I got home from work..
 Cleaned up diarrhea in many places.
No pics out of consideration to you all.

Prepped a new mail box and post.
FYI for you "Urbanites"... us Rural Folks need to put a Mailbox at the end of our drive / lane... In Halloween season it it is customary here to smash mail boxes with a pumpkin..
I don't know why... never participated... but it has always been so.
I am prepping.

Yep... it happened AGAIN!
 
And fortunately I was prepped...so I finalized the mailbox repair.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Learned today our annual "All Hallowed's Eve" weekend at the state camp-ground is going to be closed to "Camp ground residents only".
So instead of the normal 1000 or so kid trick-or- treaters we may have 100.

So what am I gonna do THIS year as apposed to last?

[maraudinglizard]

Scott, sounds like you have some rancid dog food if you are using dry dog food. I rotate my dog food every purchase, another words a different brand each purchase for that reason. Also it keeps them from getting bored with eating the same food every day.

You may be onto something Kris..
I just bought a fresh bag of "benniful" between the two episodes. The common denominator is some steak bones that Hoosier Momma brought home from work.
 Tonight they are disposed of!
