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

[Jshooter71]

Good morning GTA! Happy Tuesday! I got up just before 0500 and I’m having my second cup o’Joe. I did get my first mowing done yesterday, turned out it wasn’t so wet. Since I’m off again, I’ll get the line trimming done today. I got a big ol’ bag a grass seed I intend to spread, too. After today, it looks like we’re going to get quite a bit of rain. We need it, we’re still in a burn-ban.

What kind of knee surgery did your wife have John?

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

 Good morning, today will be another day with some rain and winds up to 15 mph. The high temp is supposed to be a little lower at 62°F. Currently it is 49.6 on my back deck.

 I got up at 6:10 AM today. Plans...  we will see about that? I have some chest congestion and feel a little wimpy so far.

[Jshooter71]

What kind of knee surgery did your wife have John?

Arthroscopy, she has a torn meniscus.

[jimbo]

Ok gotcha, I thought that if she had total knee replacement I could maybe give her some tips since I had that done 7 weeks ago.

Oh man, no… I hope you’re recovering well, Jim. A buddy from work just got one of his replaced and he sent us a picture. Sure looks painful, her doctor wants her to consider it, but she can wait. Still, I hope you get through it and heal well.

Good morning GTA! Happy Wednesday, it’s Hump-Day! I got up about 0450 and I’m having my coffee. I’m supposed to be back at work, but I’ll have to call the office to see what’s up. I’ll get Ayrabella off to school and get ready. Sure is windy outside and hopefully we’ll get some rain. Tornadoes can stay away, that’d be good. 

[jimbo]

I'm healing real well John, the physical therapist says that I'm ahead of the curve. I actually never had any real pain, soreness and discomfort yeah but that's all.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Mornin y’all.  I ain’t ahead of the curve unfortunately.  This last surgery was rough.  After a month of recuperation I’m still experiencing a lot of pain and I have very limited movement.  Making the best of it!

The electricians are coming back today and a carpenter will be giving us an estimate on an exterior staircase.  I have to go to town for some plumbing supplies so we can extend a dedicated irrigation line out to the garden.  No more garden hoses running everywhere! 

We will be moving too!  Tomorrow our bed goes out to the tiny house. Once the interior walls of the “big” house start coming out we aren’t going to be able to live there.  So we will be in the tiny house until renovations are finished.

Good Morning GTA, Happy Sunday!! It seems I disappeared for awhile, fell asleep in January and just got up at 0715 this morning. I’m having coffee and waking up. Andi, my wife, had knee surgery on Wednesday. So, Ayrabella & I will go to Church today and this afternoon we have small group. That’s about it, but I’ve missed you all and it might take a little bit to get caught up.

We've missed you as well my friend.

[Jshooter71]

Thank you, Lt. Dan!  Good morning GTA! Happy Thursday, it’s Friday Eve! I got up just before 0500… I’m getting back to my 9-5 bedtime. I’m having my coffee and I’ll get ready for the day. It’s supposed to rain some more, we really need it. Our burn-ban has been lifted, but we’re not in the green yet. I have a job on me for today, but not sure if the rain will allow it. We’re getting busier, so I might have something else to do. However it works out, I’ll get Ayrabella off to school and be ready for work.

Good Morning!
 I got up at 6:30 this morning. I have had bronchial congestion since last Saturday when I mowed without a dust mask for a bit. I think it was caused by breathing a little dust before I put my dust mask on. It seems like ever since I had "C" last time that I have a hard time coughing up all the gunk when I get congested now.

When I got the mower out I intended on mowing one tiny spot where I had just removed a dog kennel, but then the squirrel took control and I kept on mowing. I was holding my breath when I could see dust clouds and then when I realized I was breathing too much dust I went into the house and took an antihistamine and got my mask and googles too and went back out to mow. It was too late by that time though. 
 
 I don't feel sick, the bronchial congestion causing the cough is the only symptoms I have. Of course the bronchial congestion interferes with normal breathing a little too.

 Today temp is supposed to just get up to 63°F being cloudy early, with thunderstorms developing this afternoon and winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

 Plans? - I may try to get my Poulan gas chainsaw running again today? Old gas and carb issues, since it has sat unused for quite some time since it was last used.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Mornin y’all.  I slept some between 0400 and 0700.  It’s a pretty day outside. Breezy and partially cloudy.  The memsahib and I are supervising subcontractors right now and it’s like herding cats.  The carpenter is not coming today.  He will come tomorrow and get in the electrician’s way.
We’re actually a little relieved since we could use a day off.  I see an opportunity to run the chronograph some and I want to play with the 760 since it’s shooting good right now. I’m still trying to diagnose why the 2200 is down on power so I may spend some more time playing with it. 

[Madd Hatter]

Probably not much of anything. Hoping to get a nap this afternoon. I didn't sleep well last night. Like a idjet I went to bed hungry and as such woke up every 2 hours to use the bathroom.😡😡

[buellm2]

I gotta get my butt in gear TODAY and take pictures of stuff and put them up for sale.   Knives, military surplus, ammo, guns, holsters and shooting accessories, car and motorcycle stuff, cool stuff I forgot about but will uncover when I move other stuff around.    It took my entire life to collect it.   Now I'm old and have to not burden my wife with it.  It's very time consuming as I am easily distracted.   Like I'm in the attic and find old motorcycle magazines and start reading mags from 1970 for a couple hours.   I have every car and motorcycle magazine I've ever bought boxed up in the attic.   Hundreds or maybe thousands of them.  I keep thinking I have to get rid of some AGs too.  But I'm still searching for them.

  I think I am going to bring my chainsaw in and work on it on the kitchen table, since my wife is gone to her stitching group today. There is no fuel or oil in it and I pressure washed it a couple of days ago so I shouldn't make much of a mess to have to clean up and it seems to be the best place to work on it. 

  I am sure my wife would not approve but she won't find a mess when she gets home later on. 

 It should work out ok.    Or I'll be forgiven. The weather is just better indoors right now.

LOL.   I've also timed various repair jobs for when wonder wife is away.   The big kitchen counter is the best work space in the house.

[avator]

You guys are ballsier than me... she would know.

[maraudinglizard]

I think brake clean and W-D 40 smell would be a dead give away for sure.

[Madd Hatter]

So if we don't hear from you anymore Dan we'll know what happened.😂🤣😂🤣 I rebuilt a can am 175 MC engine on my kitchen table but I was single at the time.🤣😂
