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

[maraudinglizard]

Massive flare day in leg and hip, barely got out of the tree stand this morning. Just never know when this $#!* is going to hit. I didn't have any problems yesterday and sat in that same stand for 4 hours, this morning I felt like I needed a walker. Being a determined individual I will find a way to hunt the rest of this weekend even if I have deer hunt from a gurney. 

[Ike the GSD]

Ate Thanksgiving dinner with my family and listened to classic country music all day.

There are days my knees hurt so bad,  my neck hurts almost daily from my work injury 20 years ago, I have sinus problems on a daily basis and then I realize how much worse it could be. 

Kris you are an inspiration to me, I  know you hurt to the point of not being able to get around at all but you persevere, you say I WILL NOT LET THIS WIN. I have heard of people with similar illnesses who give up, who live on strong pain meds. You are my hero.

I am sorry you are in so much pain but know this that by sharing your day to day tasks on here in spite of that pain that I know you have encourages me to not take life or health for granted.

Your friend,
Dan

Thanks Dan, glad to know that I helped somebody get through the day without throwing in the towel. You learn to adapt and conquer the conditions no matter how bad it gets. There are going to be days that you have to sit the game out and tomorrow will be a better day.

Used plywood scraps and built a storage box for my PCP compressor. Tired of keeping it in a cardboard box.

Okay Tom, you know what they say, "without pictures it didn't happen !"
LOL

I envy you guys with lots of family. It's just me and my wife here.

That's the irony of life is those who are alone often wish they had a lot of family and those with them often wish they were alone. People without spouses often wish they had one and those with them often wish they didn't or wish they had a different one. Everyone always thinks the grass is greener on the other side.

So true Gil and that sadly is a growing trend it seems.  What I'm talking about is not being satisfied or a better word may be not being content in what one has.

Funny thing after I posted this I realized that I just bought a rifle, it hasn't even arrived yet and I'm about to order a different rifle.

Setting up and running the lighting for Hoosier Momma's "village" that consumes our house this time of year.

Very nice set up there Scott, beats picking up dead needles.

Senior moment there Dan.

Ok Dan.  Here it is.

[Lt. Dan]

That looks great Tom. Good job. I love to build things like boxes and trays out of scraps.  I keep a collection of hinges and hasps on hand just for such occasions.

Paid bills for the month.... feels like opening the window and tossing 2k out...

[Privateer]

Trying to buy a Grand Am GT right now.
I only need the upper parts of the engine and computer stuff and what ever I think I can use for the Opel GT build.
Then will trade what's left for a 3.4 RWD engine to complete the build.
Crazy eh?
 

Why the Grand Am? Aluminium heads and a better fuel delivery system then RWD 3.4's had.
Now I will have to change pistons on the RWD 3.4
A straight bolt on would give me around 14 to 1 compression!

Spot on. America is the most blessed nation yet we're the most stressed nation too.

My wife's aunt used to have a big village similar but nothing like your city. That's really nice.  Bet it's a couple or three hours work.

True!

I have an Iraqi coworker (now an American citizen) who always chastises our other coworkers when they complain about little things.

He always tells them to try and stay in Iraq for a day or two so they can compare both countries, lol!

No one likes the guy for his being so outspoken but the two of us are OK, as both of us hail from foreign lands, so I can read him like a book 

He always reminds people that the USA is one of the best nations in the whole wide world and that their petty problems are nonsensical

My "Black Friday" ritual.

Which is to avoid shopping. So Far so Good!

Feasted yesterday on pit bbq'd turkey and all the trimmings, pie & whipped cream...then went comatose till 8:3X this morning. Had some left over hamburger stew from the day before I made for Wednesday's supper. Put a short video together for y'all to watch with some files missing from the %^#$$%&$%^@@!!@@#@#$#& cell phone. Gotta get back to work on the 760V2 tomorrow.

[Privateer]

Well I got the Grand Am GT!
$1500 for it. Have to go get it tomorrow.
