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

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Good morning GTA. I have a house full for about the next week. My oldest daughter, four of her kids, and the son of my oldest grand daughter are down from Idaho. They really will be using our place as base camp and running around So CAL most of the week.
 The new tires for the '72 Chevy Cheyenne are suppose to be in and put on today, new wiper blades, and a few other minor things that slipped out of my head at the moment, and I need to get the trailer wiring working (currently just the brake and signal wires work) and apparently yesterday while messing with the trailer wiring I blew out the tail light fuse because the taillights on the camper quit working while checking the trailer plug or license plate light which was disconnected.

I hate the location of the fuses way up under the dash now that I am older, heavier, and far less flexible than I once was. If I could put it on lift where I could reach the fuse box standing it wouldn't be too bad, but I don't have access to a lift. (Maybe I should just drive it in the daylight hours since the signals and brake lights work? NOPE, I need to fix it.) Maybe a wire connecter failed? I will figure it out. I am just getting tired of working on it because my body is fighting me hard, LOL. I will win in the end though because I am no quitter.

There's a gun show in New Hampshire today.   First one in a couple years because of covid fear.   I'm thinking of going.   My wife told me that she heard anti gun protesters were planning to be there.   I'd hate to miss this gun show and protests can also be fun but I'm not as mobile as I used to be and I fear all the parking spaces will be taken up.  I made a little sign with quick change word panels so I can fit in with or P.O. anyone likely to be there.

I like your style.

Checked my inventory of AG parts, and I seem to have enough (almost, he3x) to build another 22xx and 17xx 

[buellm2]

Went to the gun show.  Crazy prices, didn't buy anything.   Not too much AG stuff but  I saw a Sheridan Silver Streak for $165 in good condition at best and a Winchester 353 in beautiful condition in the original box.  Was hoping for a vigorous protest but was disappointed.   This is NH the "Live Free or Die" state".

I got to the tire shop at about 1:30 and the wait began. They finished mounting and balancing the 4 tires at 5:45, Good Grief they are SLOWWWW...

They had 2 other vehicles ahead of me but even considering that they move at a snail pace or slower. Oh well it's done and rides much better and is safer than the OLD tires. The old fronts were 2002  and backs were 2009.

[Lt. Dan]

I started mowing around 0830 and finished mowing about 1230 CDT and waited till 1730  to do the string trimming and finished at 1915.  It was a pleasant day, watched a little golf after lunch.

Good morning GTA! Happy Sunday!!! I got ALL my mowing and trimming done yesterday, it looks great! With the way things have been going this season, I’ve not been able to be consistent with my outdoor work. But, it’s good for now. Today we’ve got Ch**ch and later a NASCAR race. I’m going to sneak in a little airgunning in between though. Surely, after lunch, a little nap might be good.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Morning!!
 Dawg and I woke up at 5:30. We made coffee then went for a walk. Campground is still quiet, everyone else sleeps in here.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Up at 4:00 CH**CH today and taking it easy, maybe a nap this afternoon if the house empties out? I may piddle around with the "72 Chevy, I bought new plugs on the way home from getting tires so I might put them in it. We are suppose to have a high of 77°F today so the weather is great for shade tree mechanics.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Some jackwagon decided 7:30 in the morning was a good time to stink up the Campground by burning plastic on his fire pit.
 

[avator]

Just great.... I get to take the drain apart on the kitchen douoble sink and find out why it's not draining. Hard telling what those idiots that Killer had in here poured down it. I'm not even sure if those meth heads ever even experienced indoor plumbing... 

Now, where did I put that hazmat suit?

[Blowpipe Sam]

Mornin y’all.  I made a deal to go and pick up about four yards of manure from a horse farm.  The farmer will load it with a tractor so all I have to do is unload it.  We keep four to six compost bins going all the time.  We’ll compost this load for about six months and then use it to top dress the winter garden.  After that Im sure I’ll find something to do in the garden.  I’ll keep the 1377 or the 2100 close by for garden pests.  Sniping tomato horn worms or Georgia thumpers with about three pumps is great fun!

I would think it's a blessing that it's not 100+ degrees out with 90% humidity today.... if you catch my drift... 

[maraudinglizard]

Pick blue berries and black berries before the yellow flies carry me off. Round 2 with the tractor axle seals, one side done and get the other side done and it will be ready for the summer lawn war. Get the boat up to fishing status and hit the water in the morning.

The temps are pretty tolerable right now though the humidity varies.

I’ll probably leave this load on the trailer for a few days.  Take it off a little at a time in the early mornings when it’s coolest.

Down here in the swamp the yellow flies are atrocious.  I’ve got to wear a full bug shirt and veil as well as gloves if I want  to spend any time outdoors.  Still better than living in a suburb!

Good morning GTA! Happy Monday - Decoration Day 🇺🇸 …it is Memorial Day for many of us. How ever we do today, I’ll remember the fallen and give thanks for our freedom… I got up at 0430 CT and I’m having coffee. A young fella from work is taking me golfing. I used to play nearly every day, but I’ve only played a few times since we’ve been here in Arkansas, 2010- haven’t played since about 2012. We’re playing a 35 par 9 hole course. Should be fun, perhaps funny… but it’ll be good. For some reason, there’s no tee times for today, first come- first serve. We’re planning on 0830 tee off. After I get back home, I’ll hit some golf balls with Ayrabella & perhaps shoot some airguns a little more, before I get my head screwed on that tomorrow I go back to the grind.

Happy Memorial Day Brothers and Sisters in air arms.
Today's plan is rinse and repeat.... lazy holiday weekend hanging out with my family.. Betty Lou and the dogs. Maybe something on the flat top grill later. I got a hankering for sauteed portabella mushrooms with onions, green peppers and swiss on a toasted hogie. Betty Lou is not a shroom fan so if it happens, it's all on me.... we'll see.
The plan was to get out and into the pirate crow's nest hide this morning and be set up by daylight to snipe the one remaining pest rabbit we have here (already took out 2). The problem is that Boss and Rambo chase them and spend the rest of the day limping around because they are too old and beat up for that type of activity... just like me.     Well, that never happened because of NASCAR.
I recorded the race yesterday and began watching it late last night. I got halfways through and couldn't keep my eyes open. I got up this morning and made the mistake of turning it back on.... sunrise came and went without me. When I finally stepped out the front door I saw the rabbit had already made his normal route accross the north end of the property and was headed out through the fence at the south end. He stopped and stuck his tongue out at me just before he escaped.
"It's all good little buddy, your days are numbered until you become buzzard food like the rest of your family".

Yep,  I got a similar problem with Armadillos.  They are tearing up my neighbor’s yard and he would love for me to pop a few.  Problem is they only come out early in the morning between two and four.  Once people start stirring in our little community they make hasty hoof beats back to their den.  At my age between two and four is about the only time I sleep anymore!
