New England B.S. Thread

and.....another nice rainy day in the 'shires.

 

you can also "Draw" on the tiles with canned cheese...It keeps them occupied. We also do peanutbutter in a tight cup the dog has to work at to get it out..It's a 2 person job..Left hand on collar, right hand on the treat cup...While the other person cleans.. We just discovered this great place in town that's super dog friendly and has tons of water for the dog to get the mud off in before we head home...

Mine used to love getting baths, as long as you used warm water. She'd start falling asleep while you were soaping her up and by the time you finished rinsing her off she was sprawled out flat in the bottom of the tub and didn't want to get out for you to dry her off.

 

The rain has yet to start down in the low land

 

you using an HVLP sprayer for that? I use to paint houses brush and bucket (College Pro) one summer...I watch the spray and pray people doing houses and want to cry...

 

We had rain over night up in the hills and mist this morning. Today was cloudy but dry all day in town and right now it's an absolutely gorgeous afternoon. Peepers are loud, high 60's and the suns partially out.

 

Nope! A brush and roller only. If it wasn't mostly huge boards would be only brush. It's going on the hardie board so easily though so far, I am loving it. I will see how it dries and finishes out when I go down again Sunday. But it covers great for a first coat and besides the color it's been great to work with.

The photo of the house the paint hasn't fully dried, especially the right side, I had just finished before taking the photo.

 

Looks like the snow will pile up in there

 

Thought about taking a drive to hear them later.

 

When I bought my house and before I bought a truck. I filled about 300 bags with leaves and such. Just to reveal all the poison ivy so I could spray it with an herbicide with a sticker added. I then put little white flags in every spot where I found what I missed to go back and get it later. I’ll check periodically throughout the summer.

 

Pretty much the same here, sky is getting darker and wind is picking up though

 

Pimpin. Now I need to collect one of those for each of the lengths to complete my 80s workout outfit

 

Literally just finishing. Apparently on the 20 mile loop(course is basically a giant figure 8 across 2 peaks in VT you just keep lapping until done) the elevator gain is ~5,500'. So ya, basically I'm just trying to finish. Average is 28-30 hours so around there would be cool. I'm pretty mediocre in general so that's a decent guess

 

Just realized that my truck has 156,000 miles on it...When I bought it in Jan 2013 with 78,000 on it...So I've now finally driven it more than the original owner did....78K in 3 years for him...78K in 6 years for me...He drove the shit out of the truck because my commute is 80 miles...

 

Absolute savage race. I love the extremes people go to in these adventure races. I’ve done some short distance 13ish mile races. Couldn’t comprehend 100 miles. How many people sign up?

 

Last year 49 started with 16 finishing & 8 DNS.

The really stupid one is the 888k that runs concurrently. They have distances from 5k to 888k running at the same time (with longer distances starting earlier in the week obviously)

 

i watched my neighbor do his. he had the spray unit on a five gallon bucket on the ground, hose and spray gun up on the ladder. sprayed a patch and brushed it in. he moved right along, and it seems to be holding up.
thats prob what ill do if i ever get to the prep part.

 

Something wicked this way comes...

 

Did some shed shopping... and worked on a few drinks.......settled in with wife and mutts now...

Mine doesnt leave my pocket, unless I am home...
