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

Gil, here is my trip to the gym, first stop TSC to pick up animal feed and load it (all 500 lbs of it), then for the cardio it was walk all over wally world looking for stuff(no buggy, carry it in a bucket), come home unload all this mess and veg for the rest of the afternoon while it's raining.

Hit the gym this morning to start getting in better shape.  Did 40 minutes of cardio.  5 minutes warm up on the bike, 5 minutes warm up on the stair machine then hit the treadmill for 30 minutes.  2.5 miles….  Don’t laugh.  It was day #2.  I definitely need to get back into it.  Tomorrow will be weight day.  Just planning on hitting every body part light for a couple sets.

Hey, round is a shape right? 😁

Brett I envy your ability to remodel without having to hire people to do it for you. In my youth I learned to do some roofing, demo and other things but I couldn't do that anymore. I enjoy watching home reno shows though. I don't think you're going to need much of the gym doing all that remodeling yourself. That would sure keep me tore up. Make sure to show before and after pics with the progress!

Thanks Gil.  I’m sure I’ll lots of pictures that you all will get tired of looking at 🤣

Being a single income family with 8 kids makes it so that I can’t afford to pay anyone else to do it for me.  Believe me, if I could, I would.  I’ve been working since I was 13.  I’m 51 now.  I fell into the trap that the idea was to be a good worker, an asset to the company, that hard work and determination is what makes a man…. I think I’d rather had just learned to make lots of money and hire this type of stuff out so I can have more time to do other things.  Nobody ever said that I was a sharp tool. 😱😜

I’m continuing my workout at home with 6 oz curls 🦾

I drove the boat, mentored some impressionable youth, and consoled a lady young enough to be my grand daughter after her boyfriend dumped her.

Just another day as a park ranger.

We finally got snow 😄!! It's just a dusting and will be gone within an hour of sun up but at least we finally got some.

So you're saying is your so broke you can't change your mind? 😁

Sometimes you hire someone to do work for ya and after their done you look at it and think I could've done a lot better job than that.

Thats true and I was almost in a situation like that with my carport.  After the first days work was done my family, even the kids, looked at what was already built and commented on how bad it looked.  I called him that night and said let’s square up for what you already did, I have a different plan.  I ended up doing it myself and I’m very pleased with it.  Looks professionally built.

Wouldn’t that be nice.  The cappuccino is 6 oz.  2 oz espresso, 2 oz milk, 2 oz foam.  At least it’s supposed to be.  ☕️🦾

I talked to a pigeon     

The question I have, did the pigeon talk back?

[avator]

It's much more rewarding to step back and admire what I built than step back and admire what paid someone else to build.

Yes it does

I agree totally!


 Nowadays for me to do all of what I use to would cause SO much pain though. 


Working on mostly older cars, changing engines, transmissions, suspension, and anything else is very rewarding too, not to mention AIRGUN repair (woops I mentioned it).   


 I still push myself as much as I can stand to.


 The worst/hardest part is getting things done without bending my back unsupported. As long as I keep my back straight I can lift or carry about as much as any of the young bucks.

I can pretty much do what I want. I just pay dearly for it the next day. And I'm a heck of alot slower doing it.

Stepping off the roof of the Red Shed onto the ladder the other day was a life flashing before my eyes experience.

Waiting for the snow to stop falling. My main outdoor activity today will be shoveling snow. Looks like a solid week ahead of no shooting.

The transition from roof to ladder can be sketchy.


I have never had a fear or gave any thought about falling but will say the thoughts come now. I have a big tree in my backyard that I would climb all over to trim if I was younger. The problem is I can see myself falling from that tree now, when I was younger that kind of imagination was lacking.


I still don't fear falling so much, but fear that my landing won't be as good! LOL

[buellm2]

I never understood why old people were afraid of falling until I became one.   I had a bad fall on some granite steps in march 2019.   I've not recovered completely and probably never will.   When I was younger I was fearless about heights.    I was an ironworker for a few years, loved rock climbing, tree climbing, climbing up the outsides of buildings and bridges.   I took a few falls but always recovered quickly and easily.   These days a flight of stairs requires attentiveness.
