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

[fireslinger]

Nice mess of fish there Chris. I guess I need to get my rig cleaned up and transition the truck from hunting to fishing and quit messing with yard for a minute.

thank you Kris. I have grass and thorn bushes to cut first thing tomorrow morning. And after walking the dog, maybe I'll have some time to shoot some pellets.

[Madd Hatter]

Went back to the lake and caught some more bass.

I haven't been fishing in decades 😔. Use to fish a lot before I got married.

[bReTt]

We went and flew a kite.  Sean did mostly

[Madd Hatter]

Now this is weird, I got almost a Marine or Army basic hair cut. It's 75 degrees in the house and I'm freezing 🥶. I didn't have a shirt on and had on shorts. A month or 2 ago I'm outside with only a T shirt and jeans in middle 50s and feeling just fine. Well I guess seeings how it's just going to get hotter from now until around September it's a good thing just unexpected.😂

Interviewed three bright young minds yesterday and sent out three offer letters today.
Not a bad day for a guberment employee....

[Blowpipe Sam]

I got another OFFICIAL COMPLAINT!  All the way from Tallahassee!

Oh I am so sorry and so contrite!

NOT!

Call me Captain Bligh if you like but on  MY boat I am The Captain.  I had a person (Karen) ride with me last week who did not like the way I spoke to some unruly young men who were misbehaving on one of my tours.  She filed a formal complaint against me.  I told my PM and my APM that I was the boat Captain and that I made the right call. 

They agreed with me.  End of complaint.

[avator]

Should have made them walk the plank...   AHRRRR !

[Blowpipe Sam]

Should have made them walk the plank...   AHRRRR !

Oh I was mean!  Several young men were running from one side of the boat to the other to get a better view.  Not a good idea on an overloaded pontoon boat.  I asked them nicely twice and then I got pretty sharp with them.  The poor lady was in the bow and had no idea what was going on behind her.  Maybe she thought I was talking to her?

And I can't wait for "talk like a pirate day".

[Novagun]

A saying where i worked was that if you don't get complaints made about you then you're not doing your job.

Good thing is wasn't "cuss like a sailor" day.   

[Sqrl Klr]

Let that Karen try to run a tour and see how she deals with dopes who ignore her. They ignored your big arse twice and her little butt thinks they would have minded her better? You were way better than me waiting until the 3rd time to get sharp. I don't have patience with "foolks" like that at all.

[Madd Hatter]

Well, we just got the last dog groomed. Still need to brush her out some more tomorrow but both my wife and I along with Rainey have had enough for today.

Sorted through old flatware to get ready to make welded birds and other critters. Back tires to the rider delivered today, front tires will be here tomorrow. Unleashed the ladybugs into the garden, the majority of them hung around and started chomping on the bugs in the citrus. I will do another release in a few weeks. I will set out the Green Lacewing eggs tomorrow, they will hatch out in a week or so. That will take care of the next wave of bugs. They don't migrate as much as the lady bugs do. I am hoping by the end of the summer I will have a good population of both for the next growing season. I am not a big fan of pesticides, they are expensive and a lot of times do more harm than good. I have gotten better results using mother nature.

Not a fan of herbicides or pesticides either.  I live in an area where Bee keeping is a big business.  I like seeing lots of pollinators in my garden.  I encourage beneficial insects too.  Most people don't get excited about wasps but I love them!

[maraudinglizard]

I don't mind the wasps either, they take out a lot of caterpillars. Even 6 years after the hurricane a lot of things have still not recovered well including the insects. The beekeepers in this area are just now starting to get back to normal for production. They still have to deal with the mites and beetles in the nucs. The new nucs that disperse the mite dust are not cheap. This year the tupelo will have a decent bloom with all the flooding. Hopefully the beekeepers will have a good harvest for the next few weeks. I had more honey bees around the citrus this year and had a pretty good set.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Mowed and ran my weed wacker for a total of 6 hours yardwork.

 On the mowing I just mowed the flat top of the property, I left all the hillsides for next time.

 Here is a couple of pictures of about 1/4 of what I mowed.

 Then at Church we had our mid-week Bible Study tonight.

I was trimming a shrub with my brand new 24" battery hedge trimmer and I fell off the ladder. I was on the 3rd step and the ground wasn't level but having worked off of ladders for many years I thought I would be alright. Wrong.
A felt it starting to tip and it seemed to happen in slow motion, so I jumped off. My feet hit first, but I wasn't upright and fell on my tailbone and then my head hit. I didn't brace myself well because like an idiot I tried to keep the trimmer from getting damaged. Man am I sore all over but it could have been much worse. Those blades are shape.
This yard is gonna kill me.

At least you didn't break a body part. You know they do make cordless pole hedge trimmers. I use a cordless pole pruner for the jungle I have. Way much safer to use than being on a ladder. You are right about one thing, lawns will kill you.

What don't kill you makes you....  that's BS, what don't kill you just hurts alot more.
