We’ll have to change that Laddie! Between Greylag, Crankbait, Boat, and myself…possibly Wonderer, we’ll show you the road to eternal bliss!

That’s why I said yet. When I move out West, I will be a mile from the boat ramp. The grandbaby will be old enough to visit. I don’t think I’ll see my way clear not fishing.

Took mom to the phone store. That only went about halfway decently. Her phone account is a fucking disaster. Got out of there and she was grumpy. Took her home and dropped her off and was headed home in a big ass thunderstorm blew through. Rained like a son of a bitch. Fiddled around the house for a few minutes and the power went out. It flashed back-and-forth a few times and then went out for good. It’s been out ever since. Lunch was a can of beans that was sitting on the pantry shelf. Good thing I have a manual can opener.


Fucking electricity….

The GM folks call it that.


Mopar maniacs call it "Sure Grip."

And ford calls it something else.

I will tell you in a truck in a place with a lot of snow and hills, it can be a pain in the ass. Going 55 down the road one day, hit a somewhat icy patch on an uphill. Instead of one tire spinning and the truck going straight, both spun, and the ass end shot out. If it weren't for cat like reflexes that brand new truck would have been totaled. The dog ended up doing all sorts of gyrations and gymnastics in the air, and was NOT pleased with the maneuver...

Super C. I find it amazing that many of us survived those years. Yup 8 was about right we could sort of reach the peddles if we slid slightly off the seat lol

I think I was about 11 when I started raking hay with the old ford 8N or 9N. Then driving the loaded wagons of hay back to the barn. Had to keep your hand on the gear shift handle going down hill, one or the other would pop out of gear then. Getting pushed down hill at high speed with a full hay wagon was not something you wanted to do. I think the leased hay field was 3 miles from the farm, quite a drive along the gravel roads.

I can bait the hook and catch the fish but I can't pull the fish off the hook...grosses me out

And you're a nurse? I'm pretty sure you've done things worse than removing a hook from a fish!

For me it was poopy diapers with the kids. Hated that job! Give me a nice big deer to gut, and I'd be shoulder deep in that thing, no problem! Diapers, no way!

New vote, for number one post taken out of context!

Spent the complete morning sleeping in. All of it! Looked at the clock early, and rolled over and passed out. Musta needed it, woke up at noon.

Then out to the garage to drill more spot welds out of Rusty Car, and clean up around the old panel. New panel now sits in place, but gotta make a hammer form to replace a small piece of sheet metal that rotted out. Gotta dig for sheet metal, hopefully there's something around...
Have a couple of maple boards for the hammer form, but it was getting to be time for a break. Well, and some dinner (lunch???), whatever, the second meal of the day!

Busy day today. Cut up more wood, mowed the entire farm (yard, wooded meadow, trails), filled up four cans of gas and one of diesel.

Split about a half cord of wood.

I will stack it tomrrow.

Made dinner: pesto, veggies and a few spinach ravioli.

A few jobs to tackle early tomrrrow then wanna do what we’re doing now: chillin nekkid by the pool listening to good music.

Mets won.

17,000 steps.

What are those?

 

[Wonderer67]

Dozen eggs cooked. I have some broccoli i need to do something with.... blanch and freeze? I also got some corn in my farm basket....

Summer corn is so good. I don’t even bother cooking it. Shuck it and eat it raw.
