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

Forecast says 84 here today. I think I'll just keep the doors closed in the Red Shed as long as possible. That thick layer of river gravel on the floor and the insulated walls keeps the joint pretty cool.

It's 80°F here at 6:05 PM with 41% humidity, so it's comfortable sitting around or not working out in the sun. 

I did get sweaty when I used the push mower this morning when it was about 15° cooler though.

I skipped the annual neighborhood potluck like I do every year.  They are trying to form a HOA and I will have nothing to do with it.

The memsahib went in my stead and assured everyone that I am a cranky, antisocial old curmudgeon and probably dangerous to approach. 

I pottered in the garden and watched children's animation on DVD.  Minions The Rise of Gru.  Good solid escapism there.  Not a hint of politics, violence or culture wars.

Wow, from 88 F to 33 F ......all in one week.
Last Tuesday thru Friday the temps were in the mid to high 80's.

It snowed last night. It is 33 F and snowing this morning.
Hopefully this will be the last snow of this year.
I don't think it will amount to much.
I'm pretty sure it will all melt off today.
We were spared the heavy snow, that fell in Western Wisconsin. ( 10 -12 inches of snow there)
On Oct 14 2022 we got our first snow for this winter.
That snow was reminiscent of last nights snow.
That one melted off but Winter set in with a vengeance 2 weeks later in November.
This winter was a long one with record snow.
We had heavy snow cover from the end of the 1st week of November right up to the second week of April this year.
I'm keeping an eye on things but I don't think I'll have to clear this snow. The forecasted high for today is 36 F.
It's not quite Spring and it's not quite Winter.
It's Sprinter. 


Best Wishes - Tom

Supposed to be rain off and on all day here.

[Back_Roads]

 Old wives tale claims it will snow on the Robbin 3x before spring breaks, seems to have doubled now

[Hoosier Daddy]

Same here today Bill... But it's beautiful at the moment.
 Yesterday my Daughter #3 from Virginia called, asked what I was doing and I said I was in the truck on my way to Dunams for CO2 and a fishing licence.
 While I was at the gun-counter She, the SIL, and Grand #10 walked up behind me!

They were home for my ex-FIL's birthday. They followed me home and we proceeded to bring out the PB's 'till dark then had Pork burgers and sipped Wild Turkey 100 proof ...
We shot SO many Clays and CF's my hands a swollen like balloons this morning.

Sat on my bum and watched three Hulu episodes with memsahib....after shooting AGs

[bReTt]

Church, lunch, lowes and HD run, installed two pendant lights, pops came over and we all played pool for three hours.  Mrs. P is staying the night with her mom (83) to take her to a medical procedure at 7am tomorrow.  Currently we (kids and myself) are watching The Three Stooges and snacking

But HOA are so much fun, being told to mow, trim hedges, sweep the driveway etc...

Where my dad use to live in town they had one and fought him over parking his '72 Chevy Pickup with the camper in front of his house. He was doing handyman work with it daily at the time, so he was within the rules, but they marked his tires regularly to make sure it was moved daily. The street was to be used for street parking but not storage.

Lived in a condo once that had an HOA.. I had a side by side and all my tools in the garage so I hung plain Jane dark curtains on the garage door windows. Got a note on my door to take the curtains down, the HOA needed to be able to see what I store in my garage?  say what? If that wasn't enough, I was told I had to put the BBQ grill away after each use. And they had to approve location before a cable dish could be placed.
Moved as soon as my one year lease was up.

"Got a note on my door to take the curtains down, the HOA needed to be able to see what I store in my garage?  say what? "    I'm usually pretty polite and accommodating but that would make me real eager to tell someone to f_ck off.   I'd be reading the HOA contract pretty carefully too.

I was sub-letting and didn't want to cause the owner a problem... like I said, I simply moved as soon as I could.
The owner was a friend who got married and moved in with her new husband. She sold the condo after I moved out.

No HOA in my tiny Village but they do whine and moan if I don't mow often enough.
Gonna plant federally protected stuff just to pee the Village off!

[buellm2]

In my snotty little town you are only allowed one unregistered vehicle so no backyard auto junkyards, which are one of my favorite things.  I been making sure that I always have two unregistered vehicles for the last few decades.

[Privateer]

So. You can Live free or die as long as you don't have unregistered vehicles in your back yard.
Sounds sane.
 

[buellm2]

Well they haven't said anything about my unregistered vehicles yet.   I've had up to four unregistered, now only two.   But I can shoot and ride dirtbikes so overall it's a pretty good deal.  My wife has made mild suggestions about keeping my private junkyard under control but she has sort of settled on two as acceptable.

Not airgun related in the least:  I walked out to the mail box and collected the three pieces that arrived today.  One was a bunch of coupons/gift certificates for Bagels.  Two weeks ago, I bought a half dozen Cinnamon Raisin bagels [I thought].  As it turned out there were no raisins in the bagels - Blueberries instead.  They were not awful; but they were not what was supposed to be in that bag.  I e-mailed the company and registered a complaint.  The coupons are what they paid me for supplying the requested product identification information.  I sure hope they get their act together, because Kroger is no longer getting their house brand bagels - my favorites.

When my parents lived in Boca years ago my VW Microbus dropped some oil on their drive way.  According to my mom the HOA Gestapo had a complete meltdown over that oil spot.

Well I built yet more raised mounded beds in the garden.  The memsahib's craving for new garden beds is insatiable!

I did some plinking but that was between bouts of bed construction and trellis building.
