    What's up Hoarders? Trying to figure out what to do today. It's so wet maybe I'll plant a couple willow trees. I cut a branch off a large willow and stick it in the ground. I can't believe that actually works, but it does.

    Be careful out there!

    Off to the gun range to sight in a couple rifles for a buddy and his son. He signed up for their first rifle class and doesn't have time to sight in the boy's brand new rifle and scope :jaw:

    Rather than watch him struggle on the line, I'm sighting it in now and doing ammo testing to see what it likes. If I dont, I'll just be dealing with it in class.....with 29 other shooters waiting or leaving him behind while he chases zero. Either way, it's an avoidable problem that frustrates me when I get 5 people on shoot day who can't do this before class.

    Once home, I'll tear them down, clean, and make ready for the class.

    The city is doing a free cleanup (except electronics and batteries) so I am getting rid of 10 years of stuff that is too big to put out on trash day. First time the clean up has ever been free.

    Purge everything you don't use. You will feel so much better when that stuff is gone.

    You made the right decision. That no fat diet thing doesn't work in the long run. You would continue to get attacks, might get really sick from it. Had mine out when I was in my early 30's. Back then they didn't do the laparoscopic surgery. I ended up throwing blood clots and nearly died from it. When my daughter had her GB out, it was day surgery! If you are heavy, try to diet as best you can before the surgery. Keep us posted.

    If you are having the scope procedure, you should recover fast if you are otherwise in good health. Just getting the anesthesia out of your system is often the worst part.

    Oh yeah, we got rid of a ton. The only thing I saved that I was on the fence about was a volley ball.

    I just got the machinery side done, tomorrow I am doing the shop side. The shop side has been cleaned recently so it should be a smaller job.

    Had this on the radar this weekend till I found out that they changed the dumping fee'$ Grizz.:picard:
    Separate costs for each large item??? instead of weight.

    Will figure something else out this spring without sending it all into the atmosphere.:cheers:

    That sucks. There is a charge for weight of large electronics.
