    Taking a truck load of the stuff to my parents. We have the usual Sunday visit over there and rain starts tonight/tomorrow morning. It's not quite burning season here but we're getting there.

    Watched a squirrel carry a green walnut something like 60 yards across my open yard. They must be good.

    And the framers that say its the finish guys job to clean things up n "make it perty"...its all getting covered by drywall...good enough! :hair:
    And I had a guy come in to do some plaster work for me...he says that you'll never see the 1/2"-over-1'-from-being-flat once its sanded a lil and painted...bull crap! A blind man riding by on a galloping horse could see that!!! That's not even good concrete work, let alone plaster!
    I knocked it off the wall with a hatchet and made him re-do it...second time was 50% better...only 1/4" over 1' from being flat :picard: I give up, take your money n git outta here, n don't come back! Its still like that today...I covered it with some fake greenery, so I don't get pizzed off every time I see it!

    Hadn't seen them much this summer but once the acorns started dropping a few weeks ago they've been regulars. Best guess is there are 3 doe that had fawns close to here. This one had twins. Saw a "crab claw" 4 point or small 6pt the other evening.

    Over 300 miles yesterday. Rode with the bike shop crew to NJMP for the races. Last one was finale for King of the Baggers.

    I spent the last month remodeling one of our bathrooms. I even used a couple vacation days to get it done quicker. I lucked out, the week after I finished that project I got invited on a quad run with my good friend and his family. We rode 50mi in one day on old logging roads, Jeep trails and forest service roads.

    The trails are north of Donner Pass and we stopped at Meadow Lake and White Rock Lake. In all we had four quads and three side-by-sides. My friend had his 90yo mom in the passenger seat of his side by side. What an inspiration! She had more fun than any of us. We had a blast! I really needed this.
