Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Ditto CF as usual I am late to the party , sounds like you had a good one man !

 

Took my Model 60 Marlin to a smith today spending about $45 to have the action cleared,cleaned and oiled it had a shell jammed in it the last couple of years from when I couldn't get the bolt all the way back. Weak was I. Not bad for a '71 or so Model 60. The stores I bought my guns at are long gone.

 

Caliber?

 

Bear size.

 

.22 LR

 

It was only made in one Caliber that I knew of .22LR.

 

Only if you are good enough, otherwise you'd just get them bears mad at ya...

Couldn’t ask for better weather than we have here this morning. 70° and a slight breeze to keep the bugs away. Took the dogs for a two hour walk. Enjoying every second of it because starting tomorrow we’re slated to get a week of humidity and rain.

 

No vacation for this Bear.

 

Calling this project done. Do need to repaint the bird bath so it blends in better, but its probably 30 YO - I found it in an overgrown garden over by the swamp when I moved in. The broken pedestal (I assume they belong together) has sat in the back on the other side of the house since I moved in. Anyway, I digress, here is my finished sitting area that catches a nice breeze.

From the back porch (with a little zoom)


From directly in front of it


The right side log planter where I placed two Oriental Lilies and to either side are columbines. The previously planted ferns are there (except the one that something dragged off ) and I moved the poor sunburned hosta (on the right) from the driveway garden to this shaded area last weekend.


The left log planter has two oriental lilliws. In the middle is a columbine and to the right is creeping winter berry. You can't see the foxglove that I blanted behind the planter a couple of weeks ago. It is spent, so I didn't feel too bad - besides, none of this was planned, it just happened, and I can always move the foxglove next year.

Those log planter have been in my shed since TSC had a wicked fall sale last year. I picked them up for around $20 each. Didn't have a plan for them, but figured I would find a use eventually .

 

Removed the saddle valve for the fridge water line and installed a sharkbite ball valve today.

It was a tight fit as there ave several tee's close to the cut which meant not much pipe movement to work the new valve in. I had to put more side pressure that I wanted on the pipes to get it in but in it went. A sudden slight quick movement made me say oh chit, hope I didnt break a solder joint somewhere. Dont see any issue and so far so good.

20/20 hindsight when I put in the saddle valve years ago and I would have put it on another long pipe run about 6 feet away that would have been soooo much easier to get the new valve in. Had to plug the saddle valve hole ( cut that part out and put the valve there) so there was no choice.

 

Nice work boieb !! I feel more relaxed by just looking at the pics.!!
Doggy

 

Spent the morning with my good friend and our boys on a charter boat out of Plymouth Ma. Got 2 keepers. 34” and 36”

 

It's raining, it is pouring the old Bear is snoring!!

 

Split a little in between rain drops

 

Partly cloudy/sunny, 84*, humidity is at 65%. Chance of rain & boomers....... Pretty much repeat this for the next 10 days.

 

No like that Pete
