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

[avator]

That horse might just add a new level to your run and gun program..

Recovering from an ultra shift at work.  64 hours in a 4 day work week.  40 of those hours were in a row starting this past Friday morning 0700.  It was gray and ugly out most of the day yesterday but today is amazing out!

Skipping Sunday school today.  Mrs. P has come down with a cold and I’m wiped from the work week so we are moving into today slowly.  Life has ended up bringing us to where Heather (our 20 yo daughter) is bringing her horse to the house so I, being the dad, get to rearrange our back field to get a building and a fence built to house this creature coming to stay with us.  I never wanted to be a horse dad and I reject the idea but I love my daughter and she loves the horse (Titus) so we now will be hosts for him.  Today I may go pick up the 20’x20’ metal carport that we will make into a little “horse barn”.  I also plan to get the tall grass knocked down, imagine the layout of the horse space, measure and mark the space and figure the materials list to get that stuff ordered and on the way.

Are you going to use a pipe coral or are you going with wood? Horses love to chew on wood and bitter apple doesn't always work to keep them from being beavers.

I am trying to figure out how to get another motorcycle, two pickle fork hydro jet boats, a Dodge Coronet convertible, and possibly a Hemi powered Front Engine Dragster into the shop without Hoosier Momma finding out.

Keep her "bus' up" as the kids say these days Scott. If she hears the roar of mighty engines just tell her it's the neighbor.

[Hoosier Daddy]

I could always do my normal "HUH?"

[Blowpipe Sam]

I can help you hide the jet boats Scott.

[buellm2]

And I can help you hide the motorcycle.   She'd never think of looking in NH.

[avator]

I could hold on to a bunch of your airgun stuff so you have more room for it all.

[Back_Roads]

 I think the dragster would make a cool lawn ornament, or mount a mail box on at the end of the driveway, may speed up the mail

Mornin y’all!  I’m sitting on the gundeck with a tall glass of iced Coke and a loaded air rifle waiting for the squirrels to start moving.  I’m also waiting for a fellow from the local small engine repair shop who is supposed to be dropping off our Snapper UTV at 0730. It is 0749 right now.

I’m off work today and planning on relaxing.  This last week with the holiday weekend was brutal.  I’m whipped.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

 I got to bed about midnight and woke up at 5:00 AM this morning.

 I plan on getting the rest of the trailer frame primed first. I am going to let the primer dry a couple of days before I paint it. I am going to inspect the axel bearings and grease them if it is all in good shape. If I see anything wrong with the axel I will just get a new axel before I use it for a long haul. I know the hubs are mismatched from a previous repair, one has lug bolts and the other has studs and lug nuts. I want it to be road worthy for long trips, just so I have that option.

I also plan on putting spark plugs in the Chevy Aveo I have been tasked to work on. I will have to go buy the plugs before I can do that though.

 

[Blowpipe Sam]

Hallelujah! The Snapper is back!  Now we can get some work done!

It never rains but it pours.  The shop delivered our antique UTV and our contractor showed up to work on the laundry porch.  I built the porch about ten years ago and with the intention that it would eventually be enclosed and finished.  The contractor proclaimed my work good and is laying a new sub floor and walling in the space.  Half will be a laundry room and half will be an enormous walk-in closet for our new bedroom.

[avator]

Put that snapper to work.
We got a boatload of yard work done today. Just had some pizza and chilling.

Christopher turned 18 today.  Officially 5 of the 8 kids are considered adults.  Wild…

Opened presents already.  Grilling burgers later.  Some are out playing pool in the shop, some are chilling in the sun.  I sitting here trying to not fall asleep.  Great day!

[Sqrl Klr]

Sam if I spent much time at all in that I'd have to slap a captains chair in it complete with arm rests. Is what I did to my mowers and cost was -$300 each. Those stock seats are so uncomfortable to me.

Brett congrats! 

Got the pool cleaned, some hog damage repaired in the trails and yard, then mowed some and relocated a trail camera and adjusted another one to get a hog pic the next time he shows up. Shot at him last night at 1am after being awakened to a trail cam alert but reviewed the video afterward and I barely missed the head which explained the lack of blood on scene. I'll get him next time. Fixing to slay some more weeds.
