Opposable thumbs.Looks like a 6 pack of EMPTIES. How do they do that without thumbs?

Not likely. Killian's is Irish. Rottys are German.Why? Is that not the dogs prefered brand?
Can I like that more than once?Got a few little jobs done yesterday. The pool pump is installed and ready to get in operation as soon as the water hits the inlet. Managed to navigate the SSA site to obtain some needed documents. Made some calls and emails to my state gov't officials as they try to circumvent recent SCOTUS rulings that enable law abiding citizens to exercise their rights. Did more work on this house my daughter/wife are trying to get- the things we do for grandkinds! Have the GMC2500 semi lined up for more work at Ol' Wayner's garage after the holiday. Have a list of parts to order for vehicles/equipment as soon as I feel up to letting more scheckles out of my hoard. Finally convinced my oldest daughter that just because certain things she considers "normal" are disgusting displays of perversion to me doesn't mean I "hate" anyone, since she feels the same way about things I find perfectly acceptable. I may finally be getting the idea of crazy concepts like "freedom", "excessive taxation" and "minding your own business" through to her. Plus, I started explaining basic economics, taxation, cause and effect and a whole lot of history she'd misinterpreted to her. Funny how Dad isn't such an idiot when he backs up his crazy ideas with facts you can easily find on the oh so perfect internet!
I'll probably be tearing into some piece of machinery today.
It's July, there's no hay in the barn, the woodshed isn't full or even erected yet, the days are getting shorter and 7 months of winter is on it's way. No time for time off, there never is.Maybe you should take a few days off and re-group.

You will find it takes 5x a long to spray it, they aren't like a Binks or DeVibliss on metal, and the color will be weak. Stick with the roller. There are wood preps that will lessen the "suck up" on raw wood.View attachment 28271
Well one side is sided.
There is 1 full gallon of paint on it. That siding, is cut so rough it just sucked it all up. Still has some spots showing thru. Done with brushing and rolling. Going to go to HF and buy a sprayer tomorrow.
Our dehydrator turned all our onions brown and my wife said they tasted burnt. One of those things you have to watch I guess.ow, the Garand thumb is one thing i managed to avoid.
i'd heard about it but had no idea how to avoid it, i just knew i didn't want one and somehow managed to right hand-left hand my way out of ever getting one.
today was foam spray day at the park, they also hand out free watermelon.
i participated in neither, but did get myself a big o'l tigers blood snow cone in a cup and nursed it for the entire hour and a half i stood under the umbrella watching the festivities.
yeah i said umbrella.
i wasn't always standing under it, sometimes it was between me and the fire nozzle, i was at my usual spot by the stairs that come down to the park from the county building, not my first time there... LOL.
working on a little experiment with some garden stuff today.
i took three cabbages, a dozen onions and garlic bulbs and about 5lbs. of beets over to littlegirl's place.
we are doing a little experiment making some sauerkraut with the big kitchenaid food processor and nothing but salt and the water we beat out of the cabbage heads with it.
we are running the onions and garlic bulbs through the dehydrator and then the grinder to make a powder that can be stored.
if it works like i think it will the tomatoes will go through the same process to make a tomato powder that can be stored for like infinity.
the beets went through a pickling process to try and determine the cooking and pressure canning time.
we overshot the cook time a little, but we now have a recipe for the pickling.
i also have a time of year/ground temp zeroed in for planting the seeds i harvest from the same plants, they seem to adapt themselves to our climate here over better and better as i go through each generation.
It's survival, if I don't do it, it ain't gonna get done. Nothing "over" about it. To each their own. Ian understands, same thing. It's my choice, my lifestyle. I just vent a little here and sort of keep a diary I suppose. If it bothers people let me know, I can stop.No rest for an over achiever.

Wouldn’t think anyone is bothered by a rant or a little venting.
But, yes winter is coming Jon Snow. When freeze up happens your pretty much done, wood has to have time to dry or it burns poorly and creosotes the stack. About sometime in the last half of September ground around here starts get solidly frozen, so any dirt work has to be done. Spend all summer preparing for winter. I still haven’t done any shooting since May. After this summer the project list will consist of working on the house and shop, and I will have some leisure time for shooting, about time, I’ll be 70.
Just cut my project list back big time by selling the skid steer and the Case 580 backhoe. Guy wanted them badly and maid me an offer that makes me happy “as is where is”.
I’ve cut back on the long list of projects seasonal and otherwise, but with heating fuel at $4.99 a gallon, when a bit less then 2 years ago it was $1.59, and should be again. Yeah firewood is a must.
