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

[2A Georgia]

Had to renew my USACOE annual parking pass so I made it to Galts Ferry fishing jetty.
Got to cast the Whopper Plopper and Spoon....relaxing, but no bites as it was the middle of a hot day with people grilling and boating....Good to be outside.
Stopped at a yard sale on the way home....posted in what did I receive thread...

Mike those are common around my area people putting up big steel versions in their yards. One business was the first then everyone drove by seeing it and wanted one for their yards. One around 10ft tall was recently put up by a freeway intersection next to a big sign like he's trying to figure out how he can cross the highway without getting hit while standing next to the sign to help blend in and not stand out. I haven't checked it for any bullet holes. Funny stuff.

I drove the boat.  Walked a beat on the beach.  Interpreted nature to the visitors.  Emptied trash cans.  Cleaned restrooms.  Answered questions.  Solved problems.  Perspired freely.  Made a bunch of people happy and saved the world one small step at a time.

Why I love being a park ranger.

We went on some bike rides, decided we need newer stuff, and went window shopping for new bikes.  Richmond VA is very bike-friendly by and large, but there's a definite catering to higher-end bikes.  Elitist bike snobbery is present, though not as bad as DC/NorVA or the Hampton Roads area.

We stopped by a buncha stores, looked/touched/rode...  She loved the 29er BMX bike-style, but those are too tall technically.  We looked at some 27.5" but even they were a touch too tall (she's 5' 6") in light of the frame geometry without spending beaucoup bucks.  The 26" bikes were a good fit, comfy was an operative word, and the durability/easy riding/comfort/maneuverability combined with high levels of inexpensive customization (different drive ratios and more options for handlebars/grips than almost anything else) were major factors.

Otherwise, we had a very chill weekend.  We've put a crazy amount of hours clearing and cleaning up the property most weekends for a couple years, so taking a break was nice.

I just finished performing a $100 plumbing repair on the kitchen faucet.  It required a $25 part and about four minutes and 30 seconds of my time to complete the repair.  My Judy promised to treat me to lunch.  She is still getting a good deal!

Don't forget the $75 of pellets.😉

Good catch.  I had not thought of that. 
Dang, I am slipping!

 The day's gardening is done.  Too hot to work outside anymore.  The haul was pretty good.  We picked two big baskets full of tomatoes, tomatillos, peppers, and Chinese eggplant.  The memsahib picked a half bushel of white acre peas.  Now we will process it into useful and freezable stuff.

Ain't done much, airgun related or otherwise. Not feeling up to snuff today for some reason. Not sick so to speak. Just kinda like I got no skin in the game. Been back to bed twice for about an hour each time. Took a walk to the mailbox and opened an airgun related package and didn't even have the juice to be excited about it.
Probably just this stupid weather.

Same here, recovery time still for me but hit the wall last night and feeling like you do today.

Get well, Bill.

Thanks David, you too.

It's the weather, I am not a big fan of being cooped up in the house because of the heat or the rain. It just wears you out sometimes to the point of having a bad case of the "cain't want to" syndrome.

It's all good. Took another power nap in the recliner and got something to eat. I even went to the Red Shed and sent 3 mags downrange. Feeling much better now.

I myself have been out of the loop for a long time now, but I still like being in the forum.

Haven’t even shot a single pellet since my 2-month vacation started

It is certainly the dog days of summer.  It's hotter than Texas here.  Peninsular effect thundershowers every afternoon.  95% humidity.  I'm well acclimated because I work outside six days a week but it is still debilitating.  I also drink a gallon of iced tea every day

Stay well hydrated!  It will help with the way you feel.

Have any of the peps around here ever changed out the A arm bushings and upper and lower ball joints on a 07 ranger 4x4?

Never on a Ranger, but on an F250 and a rice burner or two.  Do yourself a favor and borrow/rent/acquire the wedge shaped fork tool.  Sometimes replacing those worn out bushings will feel like a brand new ride.  Good Luck!  While you're under there check your half axle boots (been known to tear and be runnin dry).

I've had the pickle forks for a long time. I rebuilt the front end on my old 68 Chevy c20 twice. First time I just rebuilt it but the second time I swapped in the front suspension along with disk brakes but I was 28 years ago so I had way more energy back then.

My late uncle used to call it the don'ts. First time I heard anyone call it that. I fought through some of my own don'ts today and got a lot of work done outside and I'm wore out. His don'ts are over with since he's vacationing up North so to speak.

I also drink a gallon of iced tea every day

You don't have kidney stones I take it? People who are prone to calcium stones can't drink that much tea or it will build stones. not worthy for me as I'd love to drink a gallon of tea a day.

I didn't know that about tea building calcium stones but I haven't (yet) been troubled with kidney stones (knock on wood).  I probably shouldn't drink that much tea each day anyway.  I'm just saying stay hydrated.  Feeling run down and listless is a symptom of dehydration.
