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

[Madd Hatter]

Just cleaned up the outside of the tundra. 20% chance of rain tomorrow which it probably will now that I gave the tundra a bath. Still 20% as of right now but you wait and see. 🤫😂🤣😂 I know how to make sure it rains is wash the windows on the house. That will seal the deal for sure. We've got my wife's friend and family coming out from Louisiana and we're going to lend it to them so they can go to the Grand Canyon and not have to use their rented motorhome.

Check on the new hatches in outside brooder, all are doing well. Took the tractor and bush hog to back 40 and cleared out the corner that has been covered up with vines and over hanging brush to repair the corner post and stand the fence up. Once I get this cleared out I will be able to go all the way around my property again. I will have a nice walking path and not have to drive some where to walk.

0430 alarm.  Headed out into the rat race.  Topped off the fuel tank before work.  Enjoyed tea, music and dozed until start time.  Went out and got the work completed.  Came back to the shop and did time and filled out work orders.  Left early cause a coworker was staying late and there was an odd man so he cut me loose.  I'm home now heating up egg rolls in the oven as I surf.  I'm the only one home.  It's quiet.  I may just take a nap.

I've done that several times over the years Kris and it's very rewarding to enjoy the trails afterward....until I find another tree over the fence then the repair cycle repeats again. I have some trail clearing I need to do at the moment but haven't done it yet. Should've during the winter when it wasn't so hot and humid out with all the bugs around.

The millennial neighbor behind me had rented a skidsteer(doesn't have a clue how to run one) took out about 60ft. of my fence with it. I had to go on his side and pull the dirt off my fence. Luckily I had extra fence after the hurricane and did a patch on it. I didn't care what it looked like, I just wanted keep my dogs in and everybody else's out. Nope he did not offer to pay or help me replace it and I didn't expect it either. I am in the process of running another stretch across my property just past my pond so my dogs don't go all the way to the back and bark at the jerk. I have one dog that will go through field fence, not over it, not under it, through it. He weighs about 60lbs. I caught him in the act on a game camera. So now he has to stay in the pen. If I let him out and turn my back he is gone. I have no knock down going across the back and goat fence on the sides and front. I am not taking out the old fence, just going right on top of it and be done. I had a place on the south side of my property where I had the raccoons and squirrels chummed up to hunt them. I want to put something like that in again but in the middle of my property. I need to keep the squirrels at bay because of the fruit trees, they are bad about cutting green pears off. I'm like you a lot of this is going to have to wait until winter. Just to hot right now.

With neighbors like that who needs enemies....

I just do a little trail trimming at a time then switch to other tasks I can do without hurting. With 40 acres of trails that's a lot of work! My 20 acres feels like too much for me at times.

I will just say this, I have some real winners(losers) living around me. I think at times a single cell amoeba has more brains than they do.

As for trail trimming, I have a bunch of that to deal with. I try to cut everything above the ROPS on the tractor, that was something doesn't get caught with it and slap me in the face. I do have a chipper/shredder to grind most of it up and not have piles for rats to nest in.

You could host an airgun squirrel hunt to help reduce the squirrel population and their impact on your fruit.  Afterwards the hunters could feast on squirrel and dumplings, squirrel pie, squirrel kabobs, squirrel chili and squirrel jerky.  Sign me up! 🎯🎯🎯

  Dropped my wife off to get groceries, got new reflective numbers for the mail box, got Diesel, went by our place in town (saw I have 4 hours yard work to do there soon as I can), next got somethings at Tractor Supply, picked up the wife and groceries, came home and unloaded, put the new numbers on the mail box. Had lunch.
 
  That trip cost $530.

  It rained last night, and was cloudy and cool all day today. Tomorrow it is suppose to get up to 74°F then 79°F Friday and 83°F Saturday. 

We had Ch**ch tonight.
 
  I have to stay home tomorrow morning and early afternoon so I will probably get to the yard in town Saturday, but will do it sooner if I get a chance to.

I met the sunrise out in the Red Shed at 5:30 this morning. I finished up the wiring of 5 new outlets. I now have 5 live outlets and 5 switched for lighting. Those are on 2 separate breakers. I also have a double breaker (turned off) and wiring for 220 left over from the hot tub if I ever have a need for it.
Now I can get back to airgun related stuff.

My cousin's place is more target rich than mine and his wife is a good cook, they don't eat squirrel so they employee me to do the removal. I have limited out several times over there. They would not have a problem with an army with air guns to take out the limb rats.

What did I do today, did my usual platelet donation, stopped at TSC to get waters and bird food for the doves, pick up some play sand so can start more blueberries later this year when they go dormant, and check my mail. Second storm of the year, first in the season is on my radar right now, hopefully it will be a rain maker and not a CAT5 menace this weekend.

Did push ups today and I could hardly do 10 

I walk and do a bit of stretching  everyday but have not done strength training in quite a while.

2 years ago, 20 was no sweat

Batten down the hatches!  I hope the weather is a benefit not a burden for you this time around.

I didn't see yet, did you find some reasonably priced lighting?

Not yet, seem like the 4 footers have tripled in price. We're gonna hole off for yard sales and such. But, it's all wired and ready.

I used these ordered from Amazon and like them a lot. They are made to fit the old florescent fixture with a simple rewire job. $8.72 each

I have been using them since April last year and they have been great and very bright.

I mowed some, and rewound 7 weed whacker spools with 15 feet of line on each one saving $4 each, while getting an extra 4' of line on each too.

I flat busted my heinie at work today.  I dislike actual work and usually avoid it at all costs but we were short handed today and the boss was there  so I had to at least give the impression of working.  By dodging, procrastinating, and delegating I managed to avoid most tasks but it was exhausting having to constantly keep one eye cocked for the boss.
