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

[avator]

Talked to Betty Lou at lunch and she wants to deliver the RV tomorrow instead of today.
She wants to do one more clean up of it tonight before we take it. We stuck it back in the barn after the clean up about a month ago and she wants to make sure the mice didn't get in and poop all over it again. I want to double check to make sure I got every thing out of the storage spaces. I know my ATV windshield is under the master bed.
I couldn't argue with that and neither did Pete when I called and told him of the new plan.
He said he had money in hand as soon as we get it there.

Thanks John.... we're gettin' there. One more year.

Are you going to retire too from smoking and drinking, Bill sir? 

Nope, that's when the party really gets started.... 

I really miss smoking, but I’ve gained good weight and look so much better w/o it 

[maraudinglizard]

Congrats Bill, the year will go by fast.

[avator]

Congrats Bill, the year will go by fast.

Yes it will. This past 10 years have gone fast.
Betty Lou has some vegies started so we'll be putting in a small garden soon.
Lots of stuff to do around the place to keep us busy.

My wife and I quit smoking in 2019, but then the pandemic happened and we both started smoking again. Just hand rolled filtered smokes, but this is the last bag/box of tubes and I want to quit again. I know I'll feel better and my wife will sleep better.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Congrats Bill.  Sounds like your getting your money’s worth out of that RV.


I put a boat in the water.

[buellm2]

I fixed a lawnmower for one of my girls.    Shouldn't her husband be doing this?

Oh... that is just crazy talk right there...
That is when it truly BEGINS!

Broke down the spare for my Tahoe today-wasn't holding air at all-at best I was able to get 13 pounds in it before it was leaking out as fast as my little inflator could pump it in... Best I can figure is water kept freezing in the bead; as there were even pebbles crammed down deep in the sealing area of the bead 
(It hangs flat under the rear of the truck)
Got it broke down; cleaned it up-had to change the valve stem-there was even junk trapped between it and the rim!
Got lucky and didn't have to break out the ratchet straps to get it to seat enough to start inflating-it took right off and 10 pounds popped the bead over into place... Had to replace a lawn tractor tire earlier this spring-that was ten times harder than this big truck tire!
Also did the usual seasonal checks-front ball joints; lug nuts; brake lines (getting bad in the rear-though not dangerous yet), exhaust, etc.
Also did some minor garden work; other misc. things.

I'm not a fan of changing tires, even with the right tools!

I am not either but, I am frugal enough to put forth the effort to save some $. I used to go through 2 back tires a year on 2 of three motorcycles and front tires for every other back tire. I wasn't changing them before they were wore out either, occasionally I would even go too far like this one.

 For about 7 years I would get flats on the lawn tractor every time I mowed. Now flats on the lawn tractor only happen once or twice a year, and the motorcycle tires are lasting longer as I ride less and less aggressively.

 Took the day off migraine  Then after meds took effect, I figured it was best time as any to do a full front brake job on my S-10 took me 4 hours, normally I could do that in an hour 1/2 or 2 if there were issues, just took my time and got it done.
 I should be out turkey hunting  my spring season runs from the 20th to the 26th, so there is still time.

When I was stationed at Fort Bragg I had access to the Skill Shop I did my own tires too, plus everything else. I was racing my Miata and went through more than a few tires.

All this talk of tires...  I put 4 tires on the CR-V over the weekend.  Sonja and I made a command decision to get a nice used Acura MDX, went to check it out, and came home a Tahoe Hybrid in really nice condition instead.  As such, we're selling the Element- next owner will get a great car; it's too nice to use the way we've been using the CR-V- as a logging truck on our property.  The Tahoe needs a few minor things but nothing I haven't done in the past, and it drives superb.  I got over 20 MPG with the 6 liter engine; made me smile nonstop.  It can do most of the things my Titan could and it has heated leather seats.  Anything the Taho can't, my trailer can   Plus I have the 2 F-150s... speaking of which-

Yesterday I wrapped up painting what I needed to on the 94 F-150's frame; still waiting on a sending unit and straps for the front tank, then once those finally show up, I can get the tanks mounted, get the bed back on, and start thinking about doing the remaining electrical and the head gasket.  Today I got the 86 F-150 back from inspection- and we immediately used it for a dump run after I got off work to drop off the old vanities I replaced this weekend.  The faucets are worth setting aside for a Habitat for Humanity run, but the vanities were MDF and you know how that stuff "holds up".

Crazy times!

That was one ride too many  , as for chicken strips I use all my lean angle on my cruisers.

These modern cruisers are every bit as fast and nimble as yesteryears sporty bikes. I learned to ride on an old Honda CX500 "Custom" (cruiser-ey trim) and I could hustle it through the twisties faster than most guys on 600cc supersports. I get into too much trouble on bikes and gave them up. If I ever get back on the saddle it will be on a slow dual sport/supermoto or the Ural sidecar bike. My wife would just rather I don't ever get back on a bike.

Today I got as much done on my van as I’m going to do this weekend. I’m mowing and trimming tomorrow. So I pulled the mower and line trimmer out, boxed up everything work related that’s left and put it all where my mower parks. I have a good spot in the backyard (hard clay & concrete) where I can park the mower and tarp it. I’ll be able to put the car in the garage tomorrow. I’m going to pick a box at a time, as time allows, to go through. It’ll be used, given away or thrown out from here on.
The plus, plus side is: I need my range back. We shoot out of the garage. Perhaps we’ll get some shooting in this weekend, we do have more rain coming Sunday, though.
