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

[avator]

Morning;
Took the RV down to Pete's tire shop/bbq yesterday. About an hour later I got a call from him. The lady buyer loved it and is going to the bank this morning with her dad as a co signer to get the money.
The trip to Pete's was 8 miles down the 4 lane and the RV hummed right along at 65 mph.... no problem.
I had told Pete that I didn't care what he sold it for. I told him what I wanted for it and wouldn't take a dime less. If he made double the asking price it was fine by me but don't ask me to reduce my price.
I have another buddy just down the hard road on the main road between Montgomery and Florida. If Pete don't sell it my buddy said I can park it near the road at his place until it sells. He has sold many vehicles from there.

I have breakfast ready for my wife
It is supposed to rain today, later on this afternoon. ( actually rain and not snow)
I am planning to do a little shooting today with the .117 cal Hatsan Striker.


Best Wishes - Tom

Cheers to your health, Brother Dan!!! I’ve got about 6 pounds to loose to be where I want to be. 191 is where I’m stuck. I have the same problem with food, I like it a bit too much. But the excess is gonna kill us. The more pain I live with the less I want to participate in extra curricular physical fitness. I always got enough at work. But this weekend the time has come for me to start doing a little more physical fitness before work and eating a little more healthy. Congratulations to you and your progress!

Thanks John. I'll get there and I'm familiar with "getting stuck". Ive been stuck at 200-201 for over a week. They call it reaching a plateau. I have to change something to get off of a plateau, like reducing my calories intake or changing my exercises. I was stuck at 215 for a couple of weeks then POW the next week I lost a 1/2 pound a day.  Thanks again for your encouragement.

Happy Friday morning GTA! Up at 0420 CDT.

I've got to load up my mower this morning and drive south 10 miles and cut my daughter's yard then travel north 21 miles from her house to cut the yard I get paid to cut. Then back south 11 miles back to my house. I sharpened 2 set of blades yesterday, one that was on the mower and one of the other spare sets.

Great news!!!
I weighed 199 this morning, I finally broke 200. Blood pressure was 114/65 & pulse 43. I'm gradually getting my health back in order after a few years of.... well, gluttony.  I guess that is the best word for it. I love food, and it seems I really like food that's not that great for you, certainly not the quantities I would eat.

Speaking of eating I need to get out of my chair and make me some breakfast. 

Congratulations Dan, I have been stuck over 210 for several years, between 210-216 lately. My waist size is a 38" now down from 40". I have been a lot more active the last six months, feel stronger, and eat a small fraction of what I used to eat and try to eat healthier choices but easily get sucked in by the good stuff. I just eat two meals a day now. I think giving up Coffee Mate creamers is what I need to do, BUT I DON'T WANT TO! LOL
I have an check up appointment with my cardiologist this morning I think he will be pleased because I weigh a little less than I did six months ago and have less fat.

Speaking of stuck.... I seem to be stuck under the dinner table.

Weigh to go Dan!

Mornin y’all.  I’ve got to renew my captain’s certification today.  I took the written test yesterday and I’ve got to take the “practical” today.  It will be fun.  Just an hour or so maneuvering the boat, slipping it, and coming along side.  Then I’ll take it easy for the rest of Friday!

[avator]

You got this Capn' Carter.
Just don't go all Johnny Depp on them...

You got this Capn' Carter.

Haha!!! Arrrrgh!!!
+1 You got it Carter! Then take it easy, I believe you’re good at that!

The cardiologist said to keep up what I have been doing. My good Cholesterol/HDL is 40 and the bad LDL is 46 


It's currently 62°F "real feel of 59°F" and with 18 mph WSW

Thanks Dan,
I was up to a tight 42" pant I'm in a loose 38" pant now, LOL I can pull them down without unbuttoning them. I've bought 36" pants and shorts.

 I drink my coffee black, if I put Coffee Mate in my coffee, I would weigh 400 lbs. I drink a lot of coffer.

Weigh to go Dan!

Thanks  Captain Carter.

Good morning GTA! Happy Saturday!!! Up at 0330 CT. I’m having coffee with my little dog, Millie. She’s not doing too good. Her eyesight/coordination is going. She’s been such a good dog and so loyal to me, it’s just a crumby situation. It won’t be long until we have to say goodbye.   
This morning I have to get at the line trimming as soon as the sun comes up. I’ll blow the trimmed parts off into the lawn. It’ll help with the mowing as that will go faster and the tall clippings from the trimming can get mixed with the mowing. After I get the trimming & mowing done, I’ll blow everything off & clean up and park the mower out behind the house & tarp it. I have a 1630 meeting at the Ch**ch with 3 Brothers about starting a monthly men’s group here locally. I’m bringing doughnuts.

Mornin;
Up early at 4:00 this morning. Lots on the list this weekend.
Sold the RV yesterday. That went really well. I never even met the buyer. My buddy Pete who owns the tire and bbq joint sold it for me. I got what I was asking and he made $300 on the deal as well... win, win.
His place is right on the main 4 lane highway to Florida. He said 7 people stopped and looked at it in the first couple hours it was there. He ended up selling it to the first one.
My Brother has a 32' bumper puller that Pete will be selling for him next month.
Got the shooting deck rim and joists all done yesterday afternoon. Trying to get the pics to upload to the cloud so I can share them but it's fighting me. I'll just upload them to the laptop and go that way.
First thing this morning I'll go down to the old wood pile and start sorting out the deck boards. We did all the framing with new wood but I want to do all the decking in repurposed so it keeps the old look of the building. If I don't have enough in the wood pile I will pull the wood off both my trailers to use and put new wood on the trailers.
The recent rain and then sunshine has really got the grass growing like crazy so I'll need to get the mowing done.
The parts should be in today to get the little Honda tiller running so we can put Betty Lou's 10 x 20 veggie garden in and get the 6' fence up around that.
Busy, busy..

[Lt. Dan]

Good morning GTA!!! I woke up early and got up at 0400 CDT this morning.

I had a busy day yesterday. Left the house at 0730 headed to my daughter's.  While cutting her yard I noticed a lot of low limbs from the huge oak tree and even more unwanted hedge growing in her back yard. I started cutting and ended up with three large piles. I used my tow strap that I custom made for pulling limbs and pulled the piles to the street with my Zero turn. Normally I can cut and trim her yard and be loaded back up in 40 minutes. Yesterday I was there 2 hours.

Then drove to the yard where I make the majority of my gun money. There were a lot of limbs down and it also took longer than expected. I got back home at 1245.

I was tired and that's pretty much all I did yesterday.

[maraudinglizard]

Up early, fed zoo, checked traps-one trash panda in the crock pot, reset traps, finish mowing(never ending), plow up the garden spot and get stuff planted. Later on show some love to the air guns.

[buellm2]

Tire and BBQ joint?   That's an interesting combination.     I remember seeing a sign in rural South Carolina for "Tax Preparation and Fireworks".   It's always good to have multiple income streams.    Bait shop and sushi restaurant would also be a good combo.

[Bicycleman]

Diesel Cafe and Firing Range?

[Jshooter71]

We have lots of multi-interest shops in town. We have an ACE hardware/pawn shop/tattoo shop… probably can get your hair did in there too.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Up at 4:30
On the road at 5:15
All in order to drive 2 1/2 hours and meet some other crazy people.

Rumor has it that it was a nice day for "yard work".   

[Jshooter71]

Scott, that sure looks more funner than cutting grass, for sure.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Yes.... Yes indeed.
