May 22, 20233 yr Monday? Just got back from the Vet's Office..am $132 lighter in the wallet, because a Boston Terrier ( Miss Bandit) seems to have gotten Diabetic....and will need shots. Too many errands to run, today.....taking the rest of the day off..
May 22, 20233 yr Not getting my list done. Did get part of the latches replaced on church’s audio cabinet. Then wife wanted to take dog to vet. And there goes my fun money. Not sure how the afternoon will progress but probably won’t get done what I wanted to do as she has more on her list
May 22, 20233 yr Popular Post Cutting grass today, See where it goes from there. Last week the Cub Cadet mower starter gear broke so I did some repairs. 40 some years old and it decided to break now. The nose piece was floating around under the shield and I believe caused the failure. Nose piece isn't necessary either. Ran good today.
May 23, 20233 yr Popular Post Back to work on Monday, just as busy as I was Friday. Even so had 63 hrs last week flat rate for 40 hours of work.

May 23, 20233 yr Popular Post Busy, busy weekend. Lots of going. Youngest granddaughter is now home for the summer. Need to service her Trailblazer before she starts working a summer job. Spent 5+ hours over a 7 hour span running the weedeater. Used to be able to do all that in about 4 hours. If I can move tomorrow, errand day up in Boilertown. The usual, Menards, Rural King, maybe HF (Go Harbor Freight!) and a stop at Best Buy to look at cell phones. Need other stops too but will have to see if I can handle all the in and outs. Mowing on the agenda this week plus trying to figure out what's wrong with the big mower. Granddaughter has volunteered to help clean up the brush piles plus help me do other outside chores. She's great help, doesn't mind getting dirty and a real go getter when things need to get done. She's also great help in the house so will likely take over many of my choirs there for the summer. I'd love to find time to get back to re-furbing some previous auction purchases. That would help clear up a lot of clutter. Maybe if I can get the property maintenance back under control this week, I can spend some time doing so over the Memorial Day weekend. Best quit rambling; pain meds must be kicking in.

Don't you have a bandsaw to set up? Maybe you covered that in a post and I missed it.

May 23, 20233 yr Popular Post After serious thought, 1/2 my AM coffee and the body saying not today Buck-o, I've decided to put off today that which I can (hopefully) do tomorrow. No field trips today. A day of weedeating ain't what it used to be...it's a whole lot more. Instead I think I'll try a round of yard rodeo riding that bucking 510 right after maneuvers of the obstacle course beneath the Trailblazer. If all this doesn't loosen up the aches and pains, then I know where a recliner with heat is available near-by. Hopefully I can get out it and sneak out before my neighbor gets home from work.
May 23, 20233 yr Popular Post usual stuff around the compound, sold off a couple tools, sliding 10inch TS, and the edge sander, wished i'd had room, dang that ole gal for convincing me to lop off 10 ft of length of the new shop, oh well, had a med procedure which took an afternoon and then a day to recoup but back up and at'm, feel great, so on ward and upward, interviewed two folks to trim a couple of my desert trees, the need to be thinned before the windy season comes, the monument palo verdes tend to break not bend, planted both almost 28 years ago, monsters now. and i'm too dang old to climb around them and clean off the suckers. so.......................hoping one of the fellas comes back with a reasonable value. ole gal is playing granny today, so i'm off on an unsupervised adventure not sure where, but i'm gonna be smiling no matter what happy tuesday rj in az

May 23, 20233 yr Wow I missed Monday. Went right by. It was a lousy day dealing with lawyers. At least they were my lawyers but still. Nevada has decided to attempt to infringe on my water rights. Paul

May 23, 20233 yr Popular Post Got some graduation presents done, walnut bandsawn boxes. Music quarter note is for my granddaughter who is a music afficianado and the film camera is for her acting buddy who is going into media production studies.
