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

[Sqrl Klr]

Got my overhead fuel tank painted with the final coat and mounted on it's stand. The hitch on the tractor's loader wasn't long enough to get the tank lifted onto the stand and neither was my 2ft extension bar so I busted out my 5ft long cheater pipe, cut out a notch with the grinder so the chain would stay in place, slid the cheater bar into my hitch mount on the loader, tied the chain to it and the tank, then got it lifted onto the stand. The tank was sitting diagonal instead of upright so I had to backup with the tractor which pulled the tank upright sliding in the stand's saddles since I had no more height to lift up with the loader. I didn't tear anything up thankfully.

Mission accomplished! Is similar in design to the picture below but is better looking. Sorry no actual pics due to privacy but now if the power goes out long term and the stores shut down if the SHTF then I'll have hundred of gallons of diesel to power the home generator and tractor. Once I get the truck scheduled to deliver the fuel I'll be set.

Admired my wife's new t-shirt and imagined how good she will fill it out.

It's not even Thanksgiving and you are off to an early start already, cute T-shirt, love it.

Did it come with a spray bottle?

Finally installed a new electric starter and the matching gears which were stripped from my son installing the spraug clutch backwards. Man what PITA that was but now I don't have to kick start a 625cc KTM sxc. I wasn't really hard just a PITA to do. No I have the majic button! Never had a dirt bike with electric start before.

 Finally got around to installing new door latches, and the fuel pump in my Ram 1500, poor thing has been sitting in the garage since Covid hit  Nice to finally take time off of fixing stuff at work to get my own stuff repaired.

Speaking of a PITA task I had a hard time getting the old discolored fuel level hose off my overhead diesel tank to install a new one that I can actually see through. Finally got the old hose off by hammering a screwdriver through it to rip it off the fittings then replaced with a new hose. Had to grease the fittings just to get the hose all the way on them. Doesn't even need hose clamps to hold it on but I put them on regardless. Looks way better.



I have a coon that's been digging holes in my yard the past 2 nights to eat my gopher bait that I've been putting in gopher tunnels so today I set a trap for the coon using the gopher bait since it likes that so much. I put out some rat bait under my shop shelf to kill a underground nest of them too. Hoping to shoot a coon tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll empty my 12ga in it where that sucker will be full of more holes than Swiss cheese.

Finished getting weekly meals packaged and in the freezer. Look for hunting gear getting and get that all in one backpack. Just a laid back, easy day for me.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way good job!

Went and sat in my deer blind all morning. Beautiful sunshine day and very quiet. Only saw a rabbit and dozed for a few hours.

I have started my yearly, 5 year, 10 year cleanup of the accumulated junk in my shop. I have lost my use of a dumpster so it is going to require some creative thinking on my part to rid myself of a couple of tons of stuff.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Put it all next to the road with a "Free" sign... you might be amazed how fast it disappears. 

[Mr. Panther]

spent most of the day cleaning up and putting up temporary fix to my bedroom wall . and 8x15' section of the plaster fell out of the wall and all over everything. LOL. I was not a happy camper at least, ( the air was a tinge of blue from what uttered from my mouth). All  in all it is temporary fixed to keep the heat in and cold out .

LOL, if it's half decent you don't even have to put a sign up around here.

When I was a UPS driver I would occasionally stop and pickup items that people had put on the side of the road. Example: old office chairs (used in shooting house), old hubcaps (now on two of my trailers), etc.



This stuff I'm disposing of... no one would want believe me.

Thanks. I was also very relieved to find my dump trailer didn't need a new motor after all. Is just a bad battery that doesn't hold a charge.

Found another concrete post some idjit neighbor tossed onto the fence damaging it in their attempt to toss it over. Would've been easier for them to pull it out of the barb wires than me since I had to cut tree limbs just to get to it. Got cut manhandling it out of the wires bleeding down into my glove. I couldn't cut it with the chain saw because it had old wire stapled all over it. Repaired my fence and got cleaned up. Some people just don't have sense that God gave a brick. I'm going to eventually find that sucker and tell him it like is whether he likes it or not. I'm not having that bullstool.

Gil, I had a neighbor take out my back 40 fence with a skidsteer, wipe out 60 ft of it and even snapped t-post off at the ground last year. Didn't even offer to help fix it. I found more of his damage the other day cleaning the fence line out. I know the feeling, just tired of fixing stupid around here. The hurricane was bad enough.

Kris,... 60 feet? You would know better, but that sounds deliberate. Maybe a property access dispute or a property line dispute? I would be so mad that I could not see straight.

Chris, he is 30 something and no experience on heavy equipment, his excuse was he thought it was an old fence on the property line. Nope, it was mine and the survey markers verified it. I showed him the survey stakes, not a word out of him after that. I was polite about it and made sure he didn't have any problems me being on his property to fix my fence. He is not the brightest bulb on the planet for sure. All that land clearing was so he could put up a fence for a horse for his wife and daughters, well between the covid mess, neighbors target practicing across his property, and flooding, the horse did not materialize. I don't have to worry about territory problems with him, his fence is up and he doesn't venture to the back anymore.

Forum member “caniborrowsomeammo” wants me to join him and apply for a muzzle-loader only hunt in Northwest California next year.
He bought himself one of those fancy, in-line smoke-poles.
I prefer traditional so, I took the .54 Renegade down for a good cleaning, inside and out..
It was a kit and I finished it myself back in 1990...
We have to use non-lead bullets (yes, even for muzzle-loaders) here in the Republik so I will be shooting a 300 grain Barnes copper bullet in a SABOT...
First time for everything..
