Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks Guys, it’s as equally happy as it is sad! The family is all doing quite well all things considered. He was the best man I’ve ever met and maybe one day I’ll be half the man he is.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
57,
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Sounds like a great man that I am sure was proud of you. I always remember what the preacher said at one of my buddies funerals. He passed away serving in the Middle East. The preacher told us if there was something we really loved about him, copy it and that would carry his memory on.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went to the gun range. 111F in the shade, and the gun barrel about half lit by the sun. My son bought a Bergara .308 rifle and so wanted to use the high power range. They wouldn't let me shoot my .22 at 50 feet (I have a ton of targets for that distance). By the time I got the scope dialed in for the 50 yards and got some rounds off, it was time to go home. I need a better scope, as the cheapo one I have I couldn't get a decent sight picture. I used to do better with iron sights. Now, I'm old, though, and the cataracts are creeping up on me. My mask kept getting in the way, and fogging the lenses on my specs. Hot, humid and sweaty.

I cut lots, and lots of trees down on Sunday. It was hot and humid too. Hard on a fat guy.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the comments.
68C10Step; I’ve got a few things I’m gonna do my best to copy. That is very profound advice! Pete; those blueberries look amazing. I missed the wild raspberries here by a few weeks. They go perfect in homemade from scratch, custard base, vanilla ice cream.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'm sorry to hear of your grandpa's passing. As was just said, you have his influences that are him living on beyond his mortal being.. I'm sure you are passing that on to your children.
I've run through Harpers Ferry on three round trips since Saturday on my way back and forth to/from Star Tannery along Cedar Creek. It always feels good to get back home. This rainy morning I'm sure is conjuring up some reminiscence. Probably feels like rainforest weather. I'd let you drive my '72 if it was running. Doggone starter bolt!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Most of today I spent straightening up the shop. Worked on clearing up the work bench and getting some shelves up to put things over head. Of course I threw out very little but did some organizing. Mainly opening up some floor space around the truck. I found that set of 3 bar spinners I haven't seen in 5 years.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My hemorrhoids are whimpering, looking at that seat. I would ride my bike around here, but after some close calls with jackasses with big trucks seeing how close they can get to me, and getting hit once, that's off the table.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Looks like it was a great day for that too. I'm looking forward to temps to get back down into the 80's so I can do the same and not get heat stroke.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yeah Brian, the temps here really haven’t been terrible. The nice thing about the trail is there is lots of shade.
I went out around 11:00am. Early morning would be even nicer, but I’ve got a feeling there’d be cobwebs everywhere. That’s just hard to get used to.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Lazy day man, I played my drums, napped because I didn't sleep great.
Took care of some legal for one last-ditch effort. Unfortunately my life may involve attorney intervention. Nothing I did, it's the result of having to deal with a dumb-smit. He's begging for it, and smoked if he doesn't budge. Looks fantastic

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My day started with diagnosing and fixing one of our AC systems. A 35$ capacitor was bad so I felt lucky since that particular system is as old as the house... 34 years. Anyways, its up and cooling again.
After that I got busy with my "new to me" backhoe. I need to dig up 20 or 30 yards of topsoil, then spread it around a recent slab I poured, so I can get the grass growing and reduce erosion. I really enjoy running that machine, its a stress reliever for me. I call it my "video game" since it has joysticks. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Congrats on the the new backhoe!
Sounds like you’re diggin it. Seems like when things breakdown it happens in multiples.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
How do you do that?
I always get yelled at when I play my drums. Maybe I should move them out of the living room. Or become a better drummer.
