Got off the gravel and 8 miles on the black top to have to turn back around. Country plow truck decided to park on its side and road was closed. Wife and I decided to go back home.
Hit a major milestone (heh, literally) in my truck today:
Not my view but my daughters…..
Customer decided this morning that her vet clinic needed to be a drive thru….

Took the day off from being outside to be outside. Checking a load.
Forgot to post this one last week…getting on paper with a new-to-me scope for my lightweight AR10; wasn’t planning on going to the range, so didn’t have all my gear, but a stack of 2x4 s got me close enough!
A few from an unseasonably warm WI December.
Don’t worry, we paid for it.

Did some 22 shooting off the tank trap couple days ago
The saga continues… Took out the back window(s) in our bedroom to install a slider/door so we have direct access to the new private patio we created with the detached garage/casita build.
Nice view of the gaping hole in our wall right now!

Finish line for this piece of the build is in sight! Still need to grout/putty along the floor in front of the slider, and some touch up paint, and iron the curtains, LoL, but yeah…nice to have our bedroom back!
…and yes, I know they’re hung a bit too high. They wound up being 111” long vs. the 108” we ordered, and we also used rings vs. the built-in tabs, so it was either hem the curtains, or hang ‘em higher.
Less work this way, and still looks good.
People see an old fart running around town in the dark ever day , a lot of people think I might be a tad dinky dau

Leach field #2 (heh, see what I did there?) went in today while I was at work. Honestly wasn’t expecting any progress today, so it was a nice surprise!
Maintenance or repair?

Timing belt, water pump, plugs, wires, belts, oil change.
The brother in law picked it up for 500 bucks. It needed a timing belt, so just cleaned it up some while we had it apart.

Chart House?
Giant ant mounds in WV. Last few weeks as a research forester before transferring to a national forest close to home. 
A week ago Monday, I was taking the old Ski-Doo up to the dealer for the recall. (Apparently some people have been experiencing broken skis)
Call the dealer and find out that they can’t let me repair it (probably because Bombardier pays them to make the repair and god for I’d they miss out on the $15 of labor it would cost them to change it out.)
I had the sled on the trailer and pulled out the drive way. I had just pulled onto the street when I realized I had forgot to hook up the trailer lights.
I pulled over and got out. When I did, I stepped into a pothole the size f a god damn cast iron skillet and totaled out my ankle. She rolled over like Lassie beggin for a steak.
So I back the trailer back into the driveway and head into the house.
My daughter (RN in training) said I should probably go in and have it looked at.
So my boy runs me up to the urgent care. They take X-rays and tell me it isn’t broken but it’s sprained.
50% of the top of my foot is bruised, going up into the toes, and both sides around the heel.
Doc says to stay off it, keep it elevated and use ice.
“Yeah, ok doc. Whatever you say.”/sarcasm
Anywho.
I’ve been hobbling around for the last ten days.
Last night after a double pour of Angel’s Envy I thought Doc may be right.
Got back to the hotel after a healthy intake of ribeye and got a ziploc bag from the lady at the front desk. Filled it 1/4 of the way with ice and headed to the room.
Laid down in the bed with the ice on the old foot and passed the fuck out. I haven’t slept that hard in years!
Now I’m back home and doing the ice thing again in hopes I can walk normal tomorrow.
And the old girl in the background has a stomache thing going on and sounds like she’s gonna shit at any minute. But, she’s sleeping through it.

They've gotten very brave. Just waiting for this one to come lay down here.
Sprained mine the first time on a trampoline when I was 14. A freedom fighter guy from Cuba that was living in the barn loft made ambulance noises and rubbed some homemade stuff on it. It swelled up like big ol ball. In broken English he said it looked like a mango. That was what he called me from that day on, “mango”
It hurt worse than broken arms. I’ve rolled it a few times since then, not fun! You have my sympathy.

Taking the 7-08 out for its test ride today. She done good 
Yeah, it sucks. Slowed me down a bit but not completely so I can’t complain too much.
Another great day at the in-laws
Is a great day Bryan. I'd rather wrestle with the Sheep, no, not democRATS, the real Sheep, than wrestle with media stuck in flash holes.
