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

[Insanity]

Up and at it light the fire turkey to be on soon. Ill probably lay back down after a bit.

[avator]

The only plan I have for today is to gain 5 pounds in one sitting... 

[Back_Roads]

LOL James... that actually did come to mind... as a last resort.
I moved my updates to the 'Not airgun related" gate but....
I was able to find a working submersible pump this morning and ran a hose around 50' out the back of the Red Shed. It has, so far, dropped the water level about 8" in 30 minutes or so. I figure another 30 minutes or so and it will be empty. The area of the tub reduces as the water drains to the area in the tub where your feet go.
The next step will be removing the wood tub surrounding and disconnecting the wiring. Once free standing I'll drag it out of the building and onto a trailer with the Kodiak 450 atv. At least that's the plan. I may need to use the Titan.. either way, that tub is going away today !  Even if I have to cut it into hunks with the saws all.

I see you found a taker for the hot tub, I was given one that had a nice blue grey marbled finish, I removed all the electric and plumbing and made a garden pond out of it, was just as much work as fixing another one I was given years before that.
 Was  looking for a picture of the pond/ water fall but can not seem to locate then ATM.

Too many snakes and other critters are attracted to water features around here. Then there is the green slime that comes from living deep within pine trees.

Good morning GTA! Happy Thanksgiving, from Hot Springs!!! The girls are sleeping in, I’m having coffee with my Mom. 
At some point, this morning we’re going to put up the Christmas tree and decorate while the food gets cooking. My sister & brother in law will be over for a good old family Thankful-Christmas… that’s how we do it since we don’t get together as often as we’d like. 

If it quits raining, I brought some airguns…

Turkey looked done after 2 hours that was fast. Then it went into the oven to finish off. I did go back to bed after all that noise.

Today, as I mentioned we are having "Friends Giving"... the Big "All Encompassing" Party with the Family is next Saturday.
We have friends Adam and Leaha from the lodge who have no children and never celebrated this day.... We invited them over for a traditional meal.

Today is a warm spell and dead calm.
I sent Adam a text..
"Hey, let's plan on shooting some clay's. I have many guns to share and a Perfect day for it"

His reply "I don't believe in guns"

 

What!? "Don't believe"?
It ain't Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy!

Dang another great shooting day about to be ruined.

[Sqrl Klr]

He'll believe in them when he needs one and doesn't have it while he's waiting on the cops to arrive with their guns late as usual. Speaking of guns I'm getting a OWB kydex holster for my 9mm that should be arriving Monday.

[Insanity]

Gil cut the @$%^.

[avator]

Last thing I would tell anyone is that I didn't believe in guns... even if it were true.   

[Hoosier Daddy]

Licking my wounds...
Woke up feeling like someone drove a Railroad spike in my forehead.
I know better than to mix clear's and dark's... but did it anyway

Some of you may have gotten a NSFW text from me last night.

Need to decorate outdoors once I shake things out 

[Jshooter71]

Good morning GTA! Happy Friday!!! I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was bountiful. This morning’s agenda is breakfast- biscuits & gravy. Then airguns with Ayrabella and Pop. Ayrabella & I gifted the Umarex NXG multi-pumper to Pop. Ayrabella brought her M4-177 and I brought my Walther Parrus. 22. Yesterday, we saved soda cans, green bean cans and the big yam cans. We also brought a couple auto-reset spinners. Then turkey day seconds. Then we’ll go downtown about 1600 hrs for the Christmas lights and sights.

I forwarded it on to others.

ATTA BOY!
Jeff and Don replied in a Fun mode as well

Hoping my recoil starter for my chainsaw comes in today. The ankore point for the starter guts broke off in the cover so I'm just replacing the whole thing. Got to get ahold of the UPS driver to meet him before he can drop it off at the PO. If they get it before I do I won't get it until Monday.🤬🤬 I've got a lot of trees to cut down that are dead. Have some friends who need the wood for heat and can't afford to have some delivered.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Afternoon y’all.  I just came in from the woods and fried up a three egg omelette with all the fixins.   Decided I needed some meat so I fried up some sausage patties and four slices of spam.  The sausage is for the memsahib.

Spamlette!  Poured Texas Pete’s all over it and ate it.

Now I’m smoking my pipe and trying to decide what to do with my afternoon.

[Privateer]

The .30 barrel kit and extras arrive today so planning to change out the Dreamline stuff.
Think I can handle that with my back pain.

[avator]

It's mid 60's with a constant slow drizzle of rain. I have some outside stuff to do for the Red Shed but I think I'll put it off until this weather passes. In the meantime, I can move some totes that have been full of  workshop stuff from various locations into the Red Shed. I've already attached one stacking wall shelf unit to a wall and have one tote unloaded onto it.... various paints and stains.
I have an old shop vac some where and I think I'll hook it up and vacuum down some spider webs and snake skins.

Jeff, what I often do for back pain is to place a small, firm pillow between the my back [at the sore spot] and the recliner back.  At first it does hurt; but as the pressure from the pillow works it magic, the hurt subsides.  This treatment may need to be repeated several times.  I will sit that way for perhaps an hour at a time.
YMMV

I alternate sessions of ice and heat.
