So, what did you do today?

[Redfred1]

I'm waiting to see a recliner; a small ice chest; and a flat screen TV on a pontoon. Looks good
Got boat closer to be ready Repaired pedestal seat base; painted interior floor; added paint chips and sand; been outside in the Sun to dry and bake.
Sun is cracking; got 3 acres to cut before the heat.Pray for a breeze!!

about 2.5 miles. To that far point in pic. That's where the launch is to pull this out

Back popped out again so I'm crippled from doing anything for very long or anything that involves bending over.Nerve in spine hits disc(?) and cripples me.I cant wait to see the specialist and hopefully get this addressed.Its literally like somebody stabbed you in the back .Only way you can function without massive pain is heavy amounts of painkillers.So I'm reading up on how to test a outboard condencer and points so I can figure out why the 56 elgin 7.5 hp wont spark atall.Has the omc coil swap already .

Know your pain Mr rude; been there before. The only thing that helped me was Tylenol #3; it eased it; but didn't stop it.

My problem is ive been on p.k,s for 20 plus years due to other severe issues so t3 are like baby aspirins to me .Theres a very successful operation where they trim the spinal bone so the nerves don't hit the bone and anybody ive talked too says its fantastic relief.I guess I have a narrow nerve canal from birth but its only started to reveal itself due to worn discs .Sucks to get older but I'm well off compared to other unfortunate souls like my bf who has triple cancer at 50 something.Contrary to what you see on tv I'm not a drug addled looney ,you wouldn't even know I'm on drugs unless I told you and I function like anybody else.

 

[Redfred1]

Hopefully they can give you some relief. All the crap II got from my mother. Got a CT thing going down this week along with my yearly checkup. No telling what they will come up with.
Did get the grass cut (ended up with a gob of barb wire around a blade); torched it off.
Got the boat ready; will take to the lake after "M" Day for a trial run.
Got some weed killer (Don't know name) that you can use on fence lines;around ponds; and pets. My Son gets it at his work.
Will try it tomorrow.
We had a front come thru "3in." of rain. Dropped temp to 64

 

[82rude]

Time to put the battery in the boat and gas and make sure she fires which because its a etec theres no doubt it will Fish are a callin big time and I can no longer ignore their calls.

Look who showed up all the way from Novia Scotia tonight and stayed for dinner

!

 

[jakedaawg]

Never tried lobster...good for you though.

 

[82rude]

Off to cut the lawn again!!! I swear you can go out at night and if your really quite and move slow you can catch it growing by inches.The old lawnboy is getting an early workout this year.Last night we had one hell of a spectacular light show and plenty of heavy rain which of course is making the grass grow even more and faster.Ordered a new garmin fishfinder gps also and the damn thing can ever map contours of up to 2 million acres of lakes!

Classic case of bad gas. Phase separation.

customer says, "it doesn't look too bad, can't we just use the bottom part of the tank?"

I slap him...Gibs style.

I wonder what the top layer is?

No, that was a redeck and new carpet job for some customers. Done and delivered Saturday morning. They loved it. Didn't get a final pic as those were progress pics for the folks to see how it was coming. I think I have an almost done pic I'll put up if I can find it.

glad you got to float, I'll look at dockside for your thread.
