What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

We're supposed to have highs in the upper 80's and lower 90's the rest of the week. I'm having a hard time getting excited about deer hunting here in a couple weeks.

 

​

You ever get that suckah "adjusted" E?

 

Been threatening to rain for 3 days.....finally starting....had a shower and supposed to get close to an inch by tomorrow's end

 

Were supposed to get the remnants of the hurricane tonight and into tomorrow. 2-3" in the forecast.

 

That sounds decent. As important as rain is, that storm was awful scary.

 

I deep sixed the tomato plants today. They were in 2 whiskey barrels, and I spread the dirt on the lawn. Also restacked more wood off the patio, and loaded up the ring rack next to the wood stove. I was going to start closing the pool, but I figured I'd wait until after the rain moves through. I took what will probably be my last swim this year.

 

More canning tonight. 21 pints of sauce. More tomorrow night.....probably 3 or 4 gallons of salsa. Then I'm done for the year.

I'm ready to be done gardening and mowing....for real.

 

Happy birthday Woodwidow !!

 

Happy Birthday Woodwidow !!!!

Hope you had a great day!

 

Well



So, i come here for the family side of things really anymore.
I sold all my saws when i knew firewood was going to be put on hold for forever
or a short while..

How about a little update on life.
You guys know my wife and i are expecting our first child. Thursday.
This Thursday. This freaking Thursday we will be parents for the first time!!
Original due date was the 22nd, During our last appointment, We all became
aware that our boy is sitting in the wrong direction. He's up right, needs to be
head down, They call this breech or breeched. Think its just breech. Someone
here will clear that up im sure, lol.

So they scheduled us for a c-section Thursday AM. Took Thursday, Friday and
Monday off. We are super excited. Mom and baby are going to stay in illinois
for a week so they can quickly go to baby's first week follow up appointment without
having to travel much. I'll have to come back to Indiana Monday night for work
at 7am Tuesday. I think we are ready but neither of us actually think we are. Crazy!

New job is going pretty good also. My paycheck has nearly doubled and i was a day
short this last week, so thats cool. Not much left to move from Illinois to Indiana.

Glad i bought a decent sized storage unit..
You guys with rented storage units, you ever wonder what yours would go for if it
ever popped up on that tv show storage wars? Hah!
I always take pictures when im done dropping stuff off, mostly for insurance reasons
and the wife and i like to bid... lol!

 

Great news indeed and I'm sure you will keep us informed. Hope all goes well.

Glad you aren't laying on the highways of the busy part of Illinois with all those idiot drivers creating close calls with you too.

I did the storage locker thing for a couple years; got a real good deal from an acquaintance (biker buddy and his wife) but ended up building my own shed and selling some of the stuff.

 

Congrats! Be prepared for the most nerve wracking ride home of your life when they discharge that little one!

I've driven everything, hook onto a 100k tanker and drag it all over boston, had the front end of a 40' wrecker 3' off the ground at 70MPH because it was so heavy on the under reach and hit a bump, etc. But I was NEVER as nervous as driving my wifes Kia 30mph on backroads coming home from the hospital. LOL

 

Oh, and they will warn you.....but nothing can prepare you for meconium

 

LOL...come on now, you're scaring the boy...its not that bad
