60+ year old thread.

Another Happy Mother's Day Susan!

 

Thanks Duane. Hope you and Repo had a good day!!

thanks Carl. Hope you have some better luck with the fishies or turkeys

I didn't think you would use one but you never know.



Happy Mothers Day to you. I hope the family has a nice event in store for you today.



NAP, I am not convinced I would get a lot of use from one but I would not mind owning one. I will keep my eyes open at yard and estate sales this summer. Never can tell what you might find. Having the Tacoma is one of the best ways to go yard sales.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Tom.

Thanks Ken

thanks Gary

Hope all you guys had a marvelous day!!!

 

Happy Mother's Day, Susan!!!

 

Evening all:
HUMMM, it's for sale and maybe should buy it back!
Sold this boat to my buddy years ago, we caught plenty of fish out of this not too fancy 14' Mirro Craft, when we were really catching walleyes this boat smelled like dead fish!

 

Do you have space for it ?

 

Morning all:
Lots of space for it Mike, best thing I ever did was buy a place with enough land to keep my "stuff" on, could use another building though!

 

Never enough “garage space”

 

Build the building twice the size you think you need and it might suit your needs for 3 years.

 

I know Tom, 32'x48' wasn't quite big enough, along with a 24'x24' garage and a small shed!

 

My 12 x 16 was too small just as I started using it.

 

I know the feeling guys.

I have a 4X8 lean to with a 5ft section and doors for trash cans. The remaining 3 feet is open for firewood. It is not overcrowded and still serves me well 5 years later.

I just built another 4X8 with 2 doors to house snow blowers and some of my sons landscaping tools. Built last November and it is overcrowded.

I have an 8X16 built 8 years ago to house hand garden tools, bicycles, pond maintenance items, my off season wheels for the Tacoma, BBQ charcoal with other grill items, and patio furniture. In the winter it is so packed you can hardly get to anything.

My dad and I built the first shed, an 8X8 about 30 years ago. Today it houses powered lawnmowers and other powered tools along with my sons landscaping powered tools and some fertilizers. There are also some wire and wood garden trellises/plant stakes. It is manageable today but I am toying with a design that would make it 8X12

I have a 35 year old retaining wall that needs to be replaced. All 4 sheds are along this wall. I am pretty sure the price tag to replace the wall will be shocking. The wall is 12 inches to 36 inches high along the entire wall. One of the price drivers for the wall is the drainage from 6 houses in my court and the next street over drain through my back yard in a really heavy rain 10 year type rain.

 

I don't need a cat with Repo. His first six months he caught a young mouse, this last seven days he has caught two moles, I dispatched them as he doesn't seem to have a instinct to kill them, but he will take a bite if I kick it and it squeals, he then gives it a mortal bite, I then crunch its head to make sure it is dead.

Hey everyone I turned 60 this past Monday. Can I enter this thread now?

 

Welcome, pull up a chair, initiation is filling the ice chest with beer. We fish, hunt, work on house projects and a couple of us collect camp stoves and lanterns.
Duane

 

Thanks Duane, I am just an ole Retired Mechanic. I pretty much do the same as you listed. Like to go to the pistol range on good day’s. (See my thread in the health section) “Multiple Myeloma” Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

 

Tom welcome to the 60+ group.

We have a couple of things in common: I like going to the range (pistol and rifle). Also my 18 year old grand daughter is being treated for Hodgkins Lymphoma, and I have had surgery for Melanoma.

On the + side we drive Tacomas.

 

Gary. I will bend a knee for your Granddaughter and you. Cancer touches everyone Bill

 

Evening all:
Welcome Bill, pull up a chair on the porch and join in.

Off to the lake tonight, hopefully there is a walleye or two that will cooperate.

 

He should have taken lessons from Annie in her heyday.... she'd catch them, whip her head around once or twice = dead mole!!! Now she doesn't even chase them She just slowly wanders round the back yard, then lays down. I'm happy she's still with me though.....

evening all

 

Welcome Bill.

Gary, your grand daughter is in my prayers.
