    I almost asked you the other day if the pins were already in there, which they usually are.

    Eric VW I'm glad you and son got together again. Maybe the next time he will visit you at home.

    Trying to finish tearing down an old shed today but other things keep getting in the way. Once that gets done we'll put the back hoe back on the tractor and tear out some stumps then start hauling in some fill getting ready to put up another barn.

    Yesterday I took a drive to a sporting goods store. I've been wanting a new crossbow and Excalibur (I like their bows) so went to check one out. When I first saw that thing when it was released all I could say was, "Wow, that is ugly." Well, I saw it in person and was also able to shoot it. Now all I can say is, "Wow! I may have to buy one of those."

    We changed a liner last year on our 18’ 52” round that I would have been happy to collapse nd throw out. My wife anted to keep it because of the grandkids. I almost passed out standing in the empty pool changing the liner in 90° heat. Must have been 100°+ inside there. Luckily our sons were there to help. I can’t do this chit anymore. Saved about $700, but it was blood money.

    What store did you go to?

    We went to Gander Outoors a few weeks ago. Camping world purchased gander mountain and turned them into gander outdoors apparently. My eyes popped out of my head when we walked in. :startled::binoculars:$$$$$:makeitrain":makeitrain"

    We walked back out. :rofl: :lol: They are insanly expensive.

    There really isn’t much left around us anymore. We normally drive to Dundee because of the lack of anything good in the area.

    Spent some time this morning running around to get the necessary hardware I needed to complete the M59 three point hitch kit hook up. ( Of course it didn’t include the necessary hardware. :picard:) But anywho, a visit to TSC and a Kubota dealer 40 minutes away and I had everything. Hook it up and mounted brush hog and had some fun mowing trails and some open field. Yea! Worked great! Then had to quit to put some time in at the real job. Booo.:( Tomorrow I’m off. Hopefully it doesn’t rain or waits till later in the day!

    You hoarders have a good evening.

    And HEY. Let’s be careful out there.

    We went to Hick's over by Clio.

    Where is the Gander store you went to? Lansing? I have not been to a Gander store since the takeover but don't go there much anyway. They still have the store in Saginaw...I think. And yes, the Dundee Cabelas is a good store to go to.

    All the small hardware didn’t come with what I got. Shackles? Pins, washers, nuts for the ends of the stabilizers(which turned out to be non standard metric thread, maybe M16-1.5 thread-I think). So that tells me they ordered the main pieces separately. Instead of the whole entire kit. Probably saved them some money. Who knows. Maybe someone who didn’t know/inexperience. Whatever. But I spent almost my whole morning getting everything together. Oh well. Learned while doing. And stopped at a favorite store and tried a couple of slices of stuff they called Pizza? Pretty good Dennis !:thumbs:

    Awww. Explain to woman that sheet rock mud has to dry.. In high humidity that takes time..

    They are frustrated, 2100 square foot house ... 1100 square feet of unfinished sheet rock.. Everything else that was those rooms is squeezed into everywhere else!! No place to hang out..

    We went to the one across from the Genesee Valley mall I’m flint. We do go that way often but I do have a lot of family out there. We drove by and saw it was open again. The place was a ghost town and I’m betting they don’t last long with those prices. It was unbelievable!
