Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Good morning, I woke and got up at 6:15 and my low back pain is better/less this morning.

 We have a great grandson's birthday party to go to at noon.

I need to climb the roof and blow the debris off and remove limbs too but my knees tell me not today so I'll hold off and get other things done.

Good morning, I got up at 3:30 this morning and at 5:22 on my security cam monitor I saw a Bobcat passing by right outside our front yard fence.

Morning...
Typical rise and shine this morning.
The plan is to begin the daunting task of cleaning the shop back up after all the work done on the Gator.
I am terrible when it comes to "clean" working. I tend to just leave things where I last used them so I have stuff everywhere.
Nick's Dad offered to make me a new bracket/mount to center the winch on the Gator. It won't fit between the supports on the brush bar so I need a bracket to move the winch a couple inches forward. I'll check with him and see what we can come up with.

Mawnin y’all!  I slept last night!  Sort of.  Percocet helped.  I got a solid five hours though.  Up at 0600 I took Belle for a jaunt.  She had to swim in all the fish ponds.  Amphibious dog.  Now I am relaxing with the first pipe of the day on my “gun deck”, listening to the nutters squawking and waiting for one to attempt the “gauntlet”.

 Brunch and finish what I didn't start yesterday

Morning...
Internal alarm went off at the regular 05:30.
Plans today are to MOW.
 Much needed here.... Mower broke last weekend and the grass was already high with all the rain lately.
 Now the mower is repaired and the lawn is butt high to a Giraffe!

[Back_Roads]

 I did my 1st mowing yesterday, grass was getting unruly, heck with no mow May, I have enough wild stuff for the bees in my landscape beds.

[Hoosier Daddy]

I know right!!!
The landscape beds are also out of control here, but I can attend to those during the week after work.
Daughter #3 in VA wants some of my Grand-mother's peonies I transplanted here... and saplings from my Lilac's that Dad planted 50 some years ago...

[Blowpipe Sam]

Yeah.  The memsahib’s gonna have to mow.  The Husqvarna is HER Cadillac. I’m not allowed to drive it.

[Sqrl Klr]

Dan that's neat. I frequently see em in my cameras. Long as they stay off me I like em around. I have a gopher that needs killing so hoping bob gets it. Saw a skinny fox carrying a turtle the other night on camera so it scored.

Scott what happened with the mower? I need to mow and trim landscaping also. Half shrubs are trimmed with the other remaining.

Sam I gor a chuckle out of that. Women are a trip!

Broke the "Tensioner Spring" on the FAB deck... again. 
This time I bought a spare.

[Sqrl Klr]

Good call. I always keep spares on pulleys ect because whatever breaks usually does so during the weekend where I have to wait till Monday to get it.

Just watched the George Foreman movie. What a man God was working through to make him champ again at 50yrs old and gave his wife a vision years before that he would be champion again!

[Blowpipe Sam]

And I didn’t sleep again last night.

Right now I’m sitting on the gun deck listening to the song birds and watching the sky slowly lighten.  Traffic is starting to move out on 319.  The Hatsan Flash-R is handy with a pellet up the spout.  I figure to get an early rising squirrel here shortly.

Y’all have a great day!

[Back_Roads]

 Back to work, as if I did not work all weekend hey I even got paid for some of the weekend stuff I did

Morning y'all..
Woke up the 2nd time at 5am by that living alarm clock in the form of an American Bulldog. I didn't need to get up for any particular reason but apparently she did. She has recently become Betty Lou's BFF and wouldn't budge for me. Betty Lou had to get up and let her out. I think it has something to do with that 5 day stay at the vet hospital/boarders where we left a few couple weeks ago. She blames me for it and is holding a grudge. She rarely lets Betty Lou out of her sight now. She only comes around me for a free scratch on the butt or a cracker. Funny, that seems to be my lifelong experience with females... 
Anyways... I got the shop all cleaned up yesterday just in time to get the Gator back in for a winch relocation and mess it all up again. At least I can get to my shooting window for the occasional shots down range.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Update.  Got one!

Update.  Got one!

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Update.  Got one!

 

  I was up for 24.5 hours yesterday and then slept for 3h 52m of which 2h 58m was restful. I was hoping for a total of 5 hours but was woken by a phone call at 7:30. 

 I am not likely to do much today.

[avator]

Got the winch moved with minimal mess... already cleaned it up.
