Pellet heads!! What's up today?

I just shaved 4 of my Himalayans to look like that. Not for a cat show, mostly done to get rid of hopelessly tangled and matted hair. The matts are right next to their very thin skin. Can't use scissors, Have to shave them with a #10 blade and a good pair of clippers. Not easy at all to at all. They are escape artist. Hard to hold the cat with one hand and shave with the other. At least my cats don't scratch or bite me. It cost $60 at the groomer to have each one done. Was more reasonable for me to do it myself at my own pace. I don't do as good as the groomers, but I get it done.

 

Been busy as TF
Pics will tell some improvement
First pic yesterday
Second pic today
Burned 7 bags for Sept.

 

No. Just thinking about spending 2 days back in '15 tearing down the stove & venting to clean @ -10F, after burning that 'cat chit with plastic bits' still gets me a bit Frosty. .. Can't even say the "P" word, without a Beer nearby.

 

Looking real good there ivanhoe ! Are you going to use that addition for living space, or as a garage/workshop?

 

As of last night:



Installed floor used to end at the metal shelves there on the left.

Thanks CleanFire for reminding me I have tools . I managed to get those pesky pieces of lumber disengaged from the floor and wall
I replaced the Air Gap system in that area and used a clean piece of OSB so it is all smooth in that area. No pic since I have already installed a pallet, with OSB scraps on top in that area to receive pellets and I ain't taking it apart to prove it .

 

Living space off the kitchen and separate easy entrance from the carport

 

And skills too ! Great job getting it done there B.

 

Translation: cold Smoothie Storage. = payoff for weeks of hard work, great job there ivanhoe !

now Get back to work.

edit: I should talk - just got handed a honeydew list that's like 17 pages long.
Have a Fun day all!

 

Man... That is awesome.. nice and orderly.. great job.

Have you had any issues with water leaking into the cabin from the center hatch when the covers are off during rainy times ????


I am searching for a snugtop to cover the back during the winter and toss the tonneau covers on for summer.

 

OMG Kitty sooooooooo cute with the lion cut..
Does not seem, happy at all ????

 

75 degrees today and at least 2 more days this week. Nice weather for October.

 

HOG meeting: Check. Rode there which was awesome since I haven't been on the bike for at least 3 weeks (rolling it out of the garage last weekend so I could run it and charge the battery doesn't count in my book.

P43 cleaned: Check. Never got the spring cleaning. Guess it didn't need it as the exhaust is still nice and clean. Ash pan was full and the fines box about half full. Everything is empty and clean now - except the hopper, which is full.

All Shop/ash vacs emptied: Check. Pretty sad when the ash vac is larger than my 2 shop vacs combined . But, they work for me and don't take up a lot of space.

Groceries bought: Check. My favorite frozen lunches were on sale for 4/$10

Nap: Check. Kitties were way comfortable when I sat down for a couple of minutes. Couldn't disturb them

Dishes and various other household duties: Check.

Yard work like mowing both yards that haven't been done in a couple of weeks: Um, nope. Still way too wet since it has been rainy and cloudy here for weeks. Fortunately that cold snap slowed the growth down. Leaves are way to wet to take care of too. Don't have that excuse for not rolling up the hoses - oh well, they promise to stay put until I get to them.

Shower to get all the grime from the stove and vac cleanings: Check.

Calling it a day: Check

 

Cancelling the bike ride to breakfast because of rain. Check.
Vegged out the whole afternoon watching NHRA, and NASCAR... Check.
Try to eat a weeks worth of snacks watching the races. Check.

Two buckets of shells screened
Horses fed and watered.
A few more snively things for the Avalanche ordered.
Always fun dealing with someone else's cast off car/truck...Ya got to fix all the little crap they did not want to.
Raining outside... we certainly need it after the long hot dry summer we had.

Can't get shells until November ...

Ahhh yesss... fall is here

 

No leaks at all and those bed covers are off more than on

 

Sweeeeeet..

That is good news.

I have snooped around under the carpet in several places looking for signs of water leakage and have not found any so far.

Found loads of DOG HAIR that the detailers missed or just did not look deep enough to find.

I have cleaned out all the water management parts, drains etc. and all seems ok

I have to replace the RH center panel latch though, and the bolt heads both broke off when I got a wrench on them.

Drilling the bolts out and retapping is the current option.

Buying a replacement panel is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ even used they are $$$$$
