What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Happy birthday Firewood Bandit go play with your new tool err toy err splitter

 

it is maintenance day at the small rural cemetery across the road from our home
if I don’t do it, nobody will
some idiot threw a tire at the cemetery gate last winter I spose I will burn in hell for burning the tire

 

Not worried about the tire; more concerned about what appears to be a rectangular box in that fire.....in a cemetery!

 

cremation going on there!

 

Got a coat of drywall mud on last night and decided it looked ready enough for sanding. Got up early and sanded before work. There are a few spots that need gone back over (par for the course with my mud skills), but overall not bad. Depending on what time I get home from my son's ball game this evening I may be able to fix those spots and be ready for primer tomorrow night. Looking like I'm right on schedule to be done painting by end of day Saturday. Possibly have flooring and trim done by the following weekend. That would be a new record for me (3 weeks start to finish).

 

Nahh that’s just an old tv that got dumped there. Goes good with tire fires.

 

Been busy with all kinds of stuff here. No more wood burning going on. Small project here, small project there. Constant stuff to do.

I have also been helping a brother on a job away from home on my days off. Glad that is now done!

Kids are working jobs, going to school part time, and doing school work. My wife has been working double time as teacher during COVID and trying to keep getting a few horse rides in a week in between all the kids stuff, and animal chores.

I hope all of you hoarders are starting to get some decent weather.

We had several trees taken down by our neighbors down the road. He has a bucket truck and does tree work on the side of his full time job. These were too close to the house and power line for me and a bucket truck was the way to piece them down. That’s been done for a couple weeks, I probably already told you about those. Anywho, I just found the time to get the piles all cleaned up. Moved to a big ol burn pile I will torch in the rain after the burn ban is lifted. Each spring they have a burn ban in effect from March 15 through May 15.

The M6040 did a great job on the piles with the hydraulic thumb on the backhoe. What a time saver! Between a big bite with that, and loading the front bucket, each trip made a big difference. My wife finished up by raking and picking up with the wagon behind the wheeler.

We now have the yard cleaned up enough that I can cut the grass for the first time tomorrow. And does it need it!

To all of you: I hope you and yours are doing well. Stay safe and have fun!

 

Oh you don't? I didn't realize that.

 

Stinny ? Your 49 already! Happy Belated Birthday!

 

They've got Dungeness crab though. Nothing like that on the east coast. There's the peeky toe crab, but not many know about that.

 

I echo this sentiment, a day late

 

Happy belated birthday Firewood Bandit !!!

 

Wild swings in the temps. Is that normal for spring in your area?

 

Yes. Yes I am... yup... uh huh...

 

I’m using the Systane complete and they seem to be what I need.
