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

[avator]

Well I did something pretty stupid today.  I was driving a Kawasaki Mule across the picnic area with a volunteer in the passenger seat.  I got a little tunnel vision negotiating a curb and drove right out in front of a moving truck.  Failure of situational awareness.  Fortunately the truck driver was on the ball and almost missed us.  But not quite.  He clipped the front end of the mule and sent it spinning like a top.  The volunteer and I were both violently ejected.  For just an instant I flashed back to my mountain biking days.  Then I hit the ground.  Yep.  Just like my mountain biking days.
Harold and I were a little scraped up but otherwise okay.  The plastic front end of the Kawasaki is ripped off but the frame and suspension were undamaged so I drove it back to the shop.  LE got involved and I’m at fault so I got a ticket.  Fortunately the fine is insignificant and I can probably get the points dropped
Now I’m at home with ice on my knee. 

Had I been driving the truck I would have been at fault.... park rangers and game wardens were a-holes where I grew up.   
"You in a heap of trouble, boy. Don't you know park rangers and game wardens ALWAYS have the right of way?"

Returned babygirl to college campus for senior year!
Let the empty nesting begin.
Of course she cleaned our the AG saving fund with last minute I needs...lol

[Sqrl Klr]

I post this as a cautionary tale.  I'm calling it a senior moment.  It is a wake-up call for me that my situational awareness and my reflexes are no longer sufficient to safeguard me from my own stupidity.
Gotta start paying more attention.

I'm finding as I get older I'm too broke to afford paying much attention apparently and it costs me every time. Not looking forward to the so called golden years at all!

I have injured my knees repeatedly over the years and yesterday's demolition derby banged up my right one good.  I limped around work today with my knee wrapped in an Ace bandage.  Still too swollen to wear a brace.  I drove three boat tours and the younger guys took pity on me and let me go at 3:30.

Years ago an acquaintance from Gabon told me that he couldn't understand Americans aversion to having gray hair.  He said in his country one gets no respect until one has gray hair.  He was looking forward to his hair graying.

Well I finally get it.  If these young fellas want to treat me like an "old guy" I'm good with that!

 Young ladies calling me Sir keeps me in check

[avator]

Yep, I've been called Sir and Mr. ever since I came south in 2013. Took a while to get used to.

Well it freaks me out when they do it.  I keep looking around to see if the boss is standing behind me.

Betty Lou painted the front door inside and out... looks good.
I fooled around in the Red Shed. Messing with the FTY Camera while watching some recorded NFL pre-season.

I just tell em don't sir me, I use to work for a living. It's a military reference.

[Sqrl Klr]

Sir yes sir right away sir anything you say sir!

Every time a chick calls me that it's a sad reminder I ain't young anymore along with seeing a pretty chick then thinking her dad is likely my age. I'm starting to turn gray and don't like it. Hence the saying all good things must come to an end.

[bear air]

Mostly lazed around in the AC yesterday and today. I'll get enough next week at work.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Well we haven't had a terrible storm or damage yet but, our power went off at 4:40 PM today.


I haven't got the generators going since it is still daylight, but I am ready if need be later on.


The Church canceled tonight's service so people could stay off the roads.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Our power just came back on!

We haven't had hardly anything here. It was windy here last night but nothing unusual. We were suppose to get around a quarter of an inch of rain yesterday but I don't think we got anything at all. Lots and lots of clouds moving real fast but other than that nada.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Well the parking lot is mostly dry now, our big tree in the backyard looks greener and refreshed and perked up. We got no damage that I saw yet. A bit of erosion on a few of the hillsides. We had real close to 3" on the rain gauge and the gauge was really too close downwind of the big tree in our backyard to be 100% accurate. We had gusts to 38mph for a little while but the wind was brief.

Last Friday morn I went to a medical facility for a couple of procedures.
Come Sunday, I couldn't clear my throat...got real scratchy.
Monday I degraded into aches, pains, fever, etc........
So I sat around all day moaning and groaning........
Feeling somewhat better today but not well yet.

Had to reschedule a trip to NOLA with the Wife to visit the National WWII Museum........my happy place...

Working from home. Watching it rain off and on. Hallelujah.

Good morning Chris.
I saw on the weather NEWS, there is a little Tropical Storm heading your way.  Praying for it to be a rain event that is BENEFICIAL, and nothing more.
