What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Just installed this brace wall. I'll add some extra reinforcements yet, particularly around the far sides, which will require some precision creativity. I'll essentially be cutting the roof off around the top of that pony wall (a short distance behind the power mast), and putting a vertical gable end wall against it. The pyramid roof will then be replaced with a gable roof at (more or less) the same pitch, with the gable end facing toward the truck.

Dawns light shows … fresh inch or two of snow…

 

Still dark here, thank you...........

 

That stinks unless you’re a teenager

 

Hustling to get ready for the first barn floor pour this weekend. I have to go out of town the next three days so I need to be basically done tonight. Should be do-able.

First pour is 12 yards, two weeks later going to pour another 18 or so for he rest of the floor and an apron in front of the doors.

Seems to be the pattern around here lately. My wallet hurts.

 

Went to dollar general today. Among the things bought were some pepsi/mt dew. Three bottles of them.

Yup, the checker put them each in their own bag. Used just as many bags as if she would have double bagged the soda pop.


They're out there and they vote!!!

 

First think my boys ask my wife in the morning- "Have you had your coffee yet?"

 

I'm going to give that a try!

 

I used to have a 12oz cup in the morning and a second in the afternoon. It affected my sleep and really became ineffective. I cut way back. I have a cup in the morning maybe three days a week. I wonder why your body/mind decided it hates coffee? That's interesting

 

Nice!

 

I like the Orange-Pineapple flavor the best. Takes some getting used to though. Black Cherry is decent too. Some people don’t like them at all. But I think it’s healthier than soda.

 

I sat on the front porch in the sun drinking a few beers this afternoon for the first time in '25. It does wonders for the mood.

 

Caffeine! Cooler out here this morning. But not bad at 20. Spring is almost here. This should be the last of the cooler temperatures. Yesterday was awesome. walking around in short sleeves.
