Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Yep! Soccer this morning, got home and then started a second coat of urethane on some rocking chairs, then sold a shop vac, then went and started raking up sticks out of the yard. My problem is if I’m home I need to be doing something.

 

Ah yes, another case of "we do it nice because we do it twice".


I *cough* never do stuff like that...

Spoiler

Yeah, right

 

Lady in the shop fellers, keep it clean!

 

Does anyone mind if I hang around? ya'll are pretty amusing.

 

Watch out for these fellas!

 

I don't think so.

You should hear my wife cuss...








Me out...

 

Not a bit. You may be bored at times.

For fucks sake! We been talking about hats for 2 days!

 

They seem harmless.

 

I started wearing hats for the first time in the last couple years.

 

I'm not really good with the concept of relaxing I guess. If I'm not working - I feel guilt about not working.


The work years were all about cramming as much work as possible into every waking hour, turns out there was way more work than hours.
I ended up just doing the minimum required to keep things going.


I entered retirement with this tremendous optimism, finally time to get things done.

It didn't take long to discover that I had treated my life like an interest deferred loan for the last 15 years - doing the minimum for years created a backlog of things to do of behemoth size and every job is an epic.
There is no low hanging fruit & I don't have nearly the horsepower that I did years ago.


I suppose you could say I spend a lot of time "relaxing" but mostly it is just dreading & putting off all the things to be done.

 

Well...
You gotta' admit setting your hat on fire while mowing is kind of funny.

 

As well as shredding a shirt!

 

I have had many mowing misadventures over the years...

Pro tips:
1) Zero turn mowers make a hard turn if a rear tire suddenly goes flat.

2) They don't glide at all if you hard turn over the edge of a bank.

3) Flying off the lawn at midnight is quite an unexpected surprise.

4) Crashing into the ditch after falling three feet kind of hurts...

 

That's 2 of us. I can't slow down.

 

You should throw some of yer woodworks up for the fellers to gander at.

 

That used to be me -- anymore I can't get started...
