What's everybody doing today?

When rains coming and the roofer is booked out a week you call in the A team!

I went to the city and picked up my hearing aids today. I can hear again,

Kinda a cool idea. It says you can get the pdf free but he’s changed that policy. Bummer. Interesting idea for sure though. Thinking of making something similar the kids can move their plants too since they are sprouting and it’s far too cold. Thanks for the post.

I bought the PDF.
It really doesn't tell you much except some of the dimensions of the end frames.
If you want those I can give them to you.
You can figure it out from the video without too much trouble.
He also made one for his goats that was 4' high and he covered it with metal roofing.
I didn't get to do anything on mine I had to take my cousin to the University of Washington medical center today.
Shot this day but it turned cold and windy so I wouldn't have done much anyhow.

Wrote four drafts for ebay, got my humming bird feeders hung, baked potatoes for chili stuffed potatoes for dinner. Doing garden stuff tomorrow!

Just completed my Jury Duty summons paper work. Now I have to decide which shirt to wear. The "Hang em High" or "Shoot them all and let God sort them out". I am also going to take my new book my son gave me, "Gunsmithing the AR-15 - How to maintain, repair and accessorize" by Patrick Sweeney. So which shirt to wear? Your vote please.

 

[hashbrown]

You should be clear of jury duty in no time with either!

 

[Terri9630]

Sat outside and enjoyed 80° weather with partly cloudy skies between bouts of work.

I used to have a t-shirt that read, "Kill them all and let God sort them out" I finally wore it out. Go with the similar one you have. Mine had a big bloody k-bar on it!

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Had grand daughter at my house for part of the day.
My parents came by to see her.
She and Strawberry put on quite a show for them.
Strawberry got sent to timeout twice to her room(kennel).
Grand daughter got sat on floor twice with no toys in arm reach.
Cousin came by to see grand daughter too.
I know it's early but I want the little lady to enjoy nature.
I bought her a fishing pole for Easter.
Got it velcro in the hatch back of my Fiat.
I will use it till she is big enough to cast it out.
Grand daughter missed both morning naps today.
Too busy entertaining Great Grandparents.
But when we went back to her mom's house, she went out like a light.
2 hour rip roaring snoring nap.
Did dishes before I went and got her.
She has no teeth yet, but she sure likes to gum deer jerky.

MO: You are a really good grandmother, Keep up the good work. Your granddaughter will remember it for a lifetime.

Thank you.
I just hope she won't forget me the 6 weeks I'm dealing with this knee.

Thank you.

Mo she will not forget you for the rest of her life. You will always have a cherished place in her heart and mind.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Mo she will not forget you for the rest of her life. You will always have a cherished place in her heart and mind.

Thank you, for the encouragement.
I know she is always happy to see me when I come to sit.
I will be off this weekend for the first time since December.
Three whole days, I don't know if I can handle it.
Or if she will handle it well.
Usually I only get a couple hours off on my days off.
Which is why I accomplish so much.
She cried for a day when I was covered in head to toe poison ivy,oak and sumac.
Had to talk to her on the phone so she would calm down.

 

[Amish Heart]

That's miserable being covered with that stuff, MoBookworm. I've had poison oak too many times to remember. It's bad. Had a busy day at work, did some packing to leave for the farm tomorrow, and husband and I went to meet a group of friends at a semi annual beer dinner we always go to together. Meal and beer were great! 5 courses, and a beer to try with each one. Really great food. Did I mention we're leaving for my favorite place tomorrow morning???? Two of my sisters arrived there yesterday to help mom out and try to find paperwork for her tax appointment tomorrow. She is being obnoxious and terrible, and they are still trying to find all the papers she hides in weird places. Poor ladies, but they need to take their turn.

Hello everyone and I hope you day has been good .

Today DH started the morning with stain removing some clothing, putting a load of washing on in the washing machine and hanging it out on the clothes line. He then watered about a quarter of the back lawn with saved grey water from our showers and washing machine. I deep cleaned the bathroom and gave parts of the white grout in the shower recess a go over with vinegar to remove some mould and then deep cleaned the toilet and went around the base of it with more vinegar and a toothbrush to deep clean it.

After a bit of a break we put on 2 chickens to roast in the oven and had some for lunch and the rest we have packaged into 6 meal sized portions for the freezer. We then set about stripping the dried thyme and sage we had dried and added 70g of sage and 55g of thyme to our use in the kitchen and some to sell on the internet which I have listed.

Just had dinner which was the other half of our mince stir fry and for dessert another serving each of our lovely homemade cheesecake. Shortly we will fold up 2 loads of washing and put it away and make the bed with fresh sheets.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

@Amish Heart have some great time off at the farm tomorrow .

 

[NannyPatty]

Straighten up around here this morning, do some nursing Yes on the computer, going to see " I Can Only Imagine " at the movie this afternoon. Baby sitting my son's dogs through tomorrow.

 

[Resto]

Resting, doing Laundry.

I've been gardening. Used my new handy dandy garden cart to haul around 3 large lick tubs, drill drain holes in them, put straw in bottom, added and mixed top soil and potting mix, planted plants and topped with a little more straw. That was a lot of heavy work, but I'm done for now. Put away the 7 quarts of soup from yesterday and still need to cook spaghetti noodles (sauce was frozen, yay)! I'm about pooped! Tomorrow is the day to make and can dog food!

 

[viking]

Just trying to stay warm and dry, we woke up to a couple of inches of wet snow and after getting the waterer refilled for the chickens and collecting the eggs I'm a bit soaked, I still have to bring in some firewood, hopefully it will stop snowing long enough to take care of that.

 

[Weedygarden]

I was going to spend my day cleaning up some of my property for spring and summer gardening. I usually have Fridays off, so it is a great day to get some projects like this done. I was going great guns, and then the wind picked up. It is not easy to rake up leaves and dried plant matter when the wind is blowing them around. So after 4 55 gallon drums full, I decided I needed to quit until the wind died down.

I am doing some cleaning and organizing since I can't work outside. I hope the wind dies down so I can get some more yardwork done this weekend.

Sorry I did it again.

Want change, get to the polls and get a super majority in the house and senate, then they will not have any excuse to compromise. Trump did not write the budget and yes it is full of unpalatable provisions. That is what happens when you have to placate the opposition. Vote out the RHINO'S. Vote out the Democrats and then in the general election vote out anybody that has betrayed us. Trump cannot make the changes by himself. Yes he could have veto'd the bill but then he would have supplied ammo for the Liberals just prior to the mid-term election. A government shut down would not have solved anything and the liberals would have had a field day. He has already taken a shot at the Dems over their abandonment of the DACA folks. You pick and choose the battles you can win and not fight when you can't win. Now th DACA folks will start to turn on the Dems for not supporting them. Pawns hate to discover they are just expendable.

Just got a good deal on a 20" Durostar reel lawn mower off ebay! List price is $129, Walmart has it for $99, but with a coupon on ebay I got it for a flat $63.99 which is a great deal (plus no tax or shipping).

I am hoping to mow my own lawn at least part of the time this year and bag the clippings for the vegetable garden. Small gas engines and I just don't get along well so a reel lawn mower will be much less hassle.

 

[TMT Tactical]

Reel mower, less mechanical trouble, and the benefit of a bit of exercise. Win - Win.

 

[gumpy]

I had a very frustrating day today. You know, the kind that Murphy's law is in full effect! The kind that you work and work and doesn't seem like anything gets done. I'm glad it's over.
There's always tomorrow and today could have been worse.

Very true, plus nice and quiet.

If anyone has been thinking about getting housewares stuff, tools/generators etc.. you might want to check out ebay now (until monday). A lot of sellers are participating in a 20% off coupon deal for orders over $25. Coupon code "prettyday" and the various vendors are here: https://www.ebay.com/rpp/6508?rmvSB=true

The Durostar dealer is like 30% less than big box stores for the same tools/generators/equipment plus another 20% off with the coupon, I got lucky on the mower timing: http://stores.ebay.com/MaxToolSales?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

That is what I used for my garden cart. What a lifesaver!

I am serving and protecting the fine people of my state by proactively enforcing laws, deterring criminal activity, preserving the peace and making myself reading at a moments notice to respond to a critical event or emergency. Which is to say I am sitting at my desk reading reports about the drunken stupidity that Saint Patrick's Day has evolved into and wondering if we would not be better off with a good old testament purging. Maybe @gumpy can stop working on his house and start building an Ark. The SS Homesteader.

Spoiler: Worst report so far - not for the faint of heart - discretion is advised

The most depraved call so far was the intoxicated woman who removed a feminine product from her body and secretly put it in another woman's fruity adult beverage. Apparently she was angry because she showed up at at the St. Patty's Day pub crawl wearing the same dress. After the discovery of said item this of course resulted in a physical fight between the two which was cheered on by the crowd who even provided makeshift weapons like wine bottles and pool cues. The bouncers were unable to get through the crowd until the damage was already done. Both women were hospitalized with contusions, lacerations, concussions and possibly traumatic brain injuries, one is possibly going to lose an eye and the other is having troubles speaking coherently. And all over a fashion statement.

Well-done. You are doing "Gods Work". Its not worth the Money, I get that, God Sees. Your reward is in Heaven. Ministry isn't behind Pulpits, its life. Godspeed, "See You On The Other Side" "Here, There or In The Air". Semper Fi.
