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

[Blowpipe Sam]

Gave myself a long overdue "flat-top" hair cut.

Oh yeah, brag about still having hair on top huh? I used to wear a flat top.  Now I go with “tha bald look”. 

I drove four boat tours fighting the wind and current the whole way.  Snatched the plug off my PA headset when I got the cord caught up in the steering wheel while I maneuvering hard when the wind caught her.  We were bucking bottom for fifty yards before I could get her off the bank and swing her back into the channel.  He wind was a real bear.  Still beats working for a living!

I can't cut it too short on top because the old "pool cue across the noggin" scar shows.

Helped a friend move his wife's chickens, she had one roo that screamed like a girl when I caught him, it left my ears ringing. The little sinker weighed about a pound and a half. All got safely moved. I don't even want to think about having to move mine, I would need a u-haul.

Went for a hike with my wife looking for shedded antlers. Didn't find any but did find 2 yoto dens.

I completely dismantled and removed my backstop / shooting area   

The fence on that side of the yard is a barely standing dilapidated mess which I knew would have to be replaced eventually,  but have put off for a long time due to the California good neighbor law.
The neighbors rent and their landlord is not a great guy and not easy to get ahold of.

Well the insurance company has decided they want the fence replaced, so my backstop area has to go for awhile until the fence is replaced.
Theres not even any time to bother with getting the cost split , so it's just going to be one sided. Probably too much of a headache to deal with anyways.

I have my small mobile backstop I can use,  but I won't exactly have time for awhile with all the cleanup work I have to do.

You are a better man than me because I well can't say what I would do because I am don't have to cross that bridge.

[JuryRigger]

Finished putting in the garden fence today; am glad that that job is finally done... 
Now to get the piles of sectioned logs that we've drug out of the woods all winter cut up and stacked-like they say, firewood heats you three times...

I've got a pitbull,  they've got a large rottweiler and a little terrier of some kind,  there are far too many random pieces of junk cobbled to the fence trying to maintain a barrier between the dogs and eventually the weight would probably just take it down.

It would just be better if it were getting replaced on our own terms without a time crunch.
The neighbor is pretty busy and I don't know when he'll have time to move all the junk he has next to the fence on his side before the work gets done.

Oh ok I was assuming. I guess I should ask would he put up his half cash wise? I mean if so then great so I understand you making it happen.

I could ask but I kind of already know the answer because he's currently got a bunch of money tied up in getting his semi truck repaired.

I have not seen the property owner once in the past decade.

[Insanity]

If that truck isnt running he aint making money also.

[bantam5s]

He's certainly loosing money,  but he does also rent bee boxes to the farmers for orchard pollination.

My neighbor is actually going to talk to his Landlord and see what he's willing to do.

Technically he doesn't have a choice because  of the California good fence law, but in this situation it's not going to be worth pushing the issue.

I had carried my Zero turn to the shop Monday. It had stopped charging and I couldn't figure it out. I hate diagnosing electrical problems.
Picked it up today. Problem was a corroded treminal on one of the six relays. $12 part $88 labor

Same happened to me last year. I was glad to pay them to be the ones to fuss and cuss with it.

[Spacebus]

Yesterday I mucked the alpaca shacka and will probably clean out the chicken coop in the next few days. Lots of wind in the forecast so not sure when I'll be outside shooting again.

I have to run the plow and clear snow so I can get a load of wood delivered Saturday morning.

22 bundles =15 long cord.

[anti-squirrel]

My focus the last week has been working on the new-to-me '86 F-150.  Straight-6 300, feedback carb.  Those of you in the know, know what I'm dealing with.  I got most of the vacuum lines and wires sorted out.  Latest was replacing the heater core with a junkyard find- works perfect.  I had to re-fix the heater box.  Prior owner used black RTV to "repair" it.  Some of the mounting hardware was missing so I corrected that.  Now I'm working on replacing the AIR pump check valve, AKA smog-pump checkvalve going into the manifold.  I will eventually be moving to a non-feedback carb with a Duraspark2 distributor and likely an MSD6A ignition, but for now, I'm getting close to having the truck properly operational.

My 94 F-150 (also a manual straight-6) will need a headgasket, but that's fine.  I'll likely replace the head since "it's only money", right?  I won't be pulling the engine at this time- probably going to source a 4.9 longblock down the road- maybe next year?  Just another item on the list

Sonja and I knew selling the Odyssey and Titan would result in this type of endeavor- fixing older vehicles- hence choosing what we did.  It also means we aren't making payments anymore. We also got the final plans for our Quonset house on our property; now we can focus on getting power out there (and internet).  Life ain't so bad.

What are you burning in? I have a wood burning cookstove and a cast iron Morso 2b Classic.

Those Ford 300's are good engines. Surprised to hear the head gasket let go, makes me think it was rode hard and put up wet. You could probably net a modest power and fuel efficiency increase after swapping out the primitive emissions equipment. Normally I would not advocate that, but that old &^^& wasn't doing much when it worked properly!
