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

[Blowpipe Sam]

Today we celebrated the memsahib’s birthday.  I will be working on her birthday so we did it this weekend.  We went to tractor supply and got her present and then the bakery for her cake.  Finally we ended up at her favorite Mexican place (that’s my San Antonio girl!).  We ate too much but we had a great time and we have enough leftovers to feed us for a couple of days.

[Sqrl Klr]

So sorry for your loss, Gil. You’ll be in my prayers, as well as for your friend’s family.

Thanks. We'll meet again in the future hopefully.

An experienced husband knows when to say "yes my love"

Cleaned the gutters out today. Not fun.  Lucky it was only along the garage.

We were up on our property out west on Sat, and Sonja got her first taste of shooting a big-bore PCP.  We also put together the pumphouse, winterized our equipment up there (we don't have a pole-barn yet), and started laying out an area for a small solar setup. 

So yesterday was recovery day.  Walked the trails over by the national fish hatchery in Charles City County, then came home and cooked a number of meals for the week. 

I'm about to do an actual count of PB ammo- should keep me occupied until I start work.

Up and planning the week out, mostly vehicle and equipment repair, plant fruit trees and winterize the rest of the plants, fix the driveway, and hopefully get some tree stand time in this week.

I get tired just reading about what you are doing.

I get tired just reading about what you are doing.

Me too.

I've been busy.

Yesterday I drove into the city, picked up my wife father, and took them to see his father, her grandfather at another Hospital closer to his home. For the last time before he passed. He ended up passing just as we got home.

Today, since last night I hit a pothole, I swapped to my winter tires. It is that time of the year. That you never know, if it going to snow the next day. So I put my winters on for the trip, as I gotta drive thru the mountains.

Prepping my car for a road trip to visit Pops tomorrow ( about 450 miles ), then going up to lay a poppy on a friends grave. Also gotta make sure I have passport and my entry permit for the the Province. Grumble Grumble covid stuff. But taking some firearms stuff so Dad and I can work on it. Like to finish my 9mm Lee and my Rolling Block.

Also Lori wanted me to make some changes to the display stands I made last weekend. Add a backing to prevent the soaps from falling behind and a ledge to use the top shelf. Then I assembled her a cart, to help her wheel stuff around this weekend market. Since I will be gone, so won't be able to carry the heavy boxes of soap.

Robert, my sympathies to your wife's grandfather. 

[Horatio]

Ride my bike.
Go to work.
Hug wife and kids.
Pray.

Not in that order.

[Bicycleman]

That sounds like a good day, Sam; especially the part about "Hug wife and kids".

A nice steady rain all afternoon so it was perfect weather for raking leaves.   I like to rake them when wet so they don't blow around, no dust and better for composting.  Plus I don't sweat so much when it's cold and rainy.

Drank... You all should buy stock in Dominican rum. I personally did my best this week to boost their sales.

[avator]

Got out early. Got 2 more security cameras placed and connected. 1 to go. I need another 100' cable.
Blew leaves with the 0 turn... easier than raking.
Jacked one of the entry gates up so it don't drag the ground when opening and closing.
Tossed back a couple beers then set the cans out to 60yds and punched holes in them with the .25 Hatsan 1KV.
Then I shot 'Buc in Black' some.

Put on the Grader/Planer (GP) on the back of the Tractor.
Ran the road a few time to take out the bumps and dips.
Had a pile of dirt I had cut down a while back with the front bucket but was still rough, took the GP and ran over that too; did what it was suppose to do... level dirt, but it is looks OK for now.
I tried something I didn't think was going to work with the GP, I ran it over a patch of brush, seems to be the only one growing in this hot summer we had.   I didn't expect it to do anything but I gave it a try and to my surprise with the blades set a little higher than when grading, I ran over the area and... yes it pulled out all of the brush, well most of it.   What a surprise to see the brush gone when I turned to check things out.
I proceeded to run the GP over the remaining brush and tried it on another area, worked well enough so I didn't need to remount the Brush Hog.

On to the main road in front of my property... it really get screwed up with rain and clay base, a muck hole for sure, then it dries.   Put the Rippers down and tore-up the road, one person went by and asked if I knew what I was doing... I responded that I had no idea, it was the first time I used my Planer to rip up a road; she drove off looking perturbed.   She did say I was going to screw thing up worse than they were.
The road turned out well enough, no ruts, not bumps, yes not the best job that could have been done but no one else was doing anything and I was tired of going over the ruts and bumps and was the only one will to do something.
Oh ya, it was the first time I have ever used the Rippers on anything, learned form it and now am using them to tear up my driveway in a rough point and an area of my lower road that has always given me trouble... great to learn new things.
I might try the Rippers out on my neighbors driveway without asking him... that should get the blood flowing.

Have a GREAT Day !

Fertilized and weeded the winter garden.  Piled brush on the new garden area in preparation for burning.  In January I will burn the pile to sterilize the soil and kill any insects.  21st century swiven agriculture.

You wanted closed circuit instead of wifi cameras I'm guessing? I have wifi trail cams that double as security cams but the disadvantage is delayed notifications sometimes when the network provider's signal is temporarily weak(VZ, ATT ect).

Amen on the mower instead of the rake which is why I have mulching blades and a mulching attachment on my deck and I've been using it a lot lately with all the continuing falling leaves because I like to not have crunchy leaves in my yard where hogs can hear me approaching them.

Loaded up about a cord of wood I had laying around since last summer into my niebors pu truck. Man that was a lot of wood.😂 I don't have a wood burning stove so it wasn't doing me any good.

I have been down some VERY rough roads in Wine Country, CA.

If you improved the road at all everyone should be grateful you put in the effort! 

[Madd Hatter]

The wife was dragging the road that we use and all some jerk had to say"you know you're knocking a bunch of rocks to the surface. Not, thanks and is there any thing I can do to help. It was the last time we'll drag the road. By the way, there's a lot of rocks already all over the road.😡 Main reason she was dragging the road was so it didn't look as bad as it normally does to help our next door niebor sell his home. He has heart problems and the elevation is bad for him.
