What ???? No Cracker Barrel nearby

 

At least it’s positive temperatures

 

hi Alora

Where's your participation trophy ?

Happy Sunday gang

 

You mean the ‘Crapper Barrel’?

 

I thought it was just me.

 

Afternoon everybody!

 

Country boy breakfast

 

Happy Sunday afternoon, everyone. Happy belated B-days to the ones that I missed. Work has been insane ( literally). The kid that keeps writing the rouge Macros that keeps making the models crash- apparently that's a good way to get a promotion in this company. More on that later, I don't want to re-live any of it right now.



I've been chasing a reoccurring crack in the dining room ceiling, it was time to crawl through the attic to figure out what was going on. It must have been the drywall apprentices first day on the job when they sheeted this house, they missed the nailer by a few inches. So much for the new construction inspections..




I made some drop in nailers that span the joists, so now I can drive in some screws to pull the saggy drywall back up and it will stay secure.

I was hoping that you'd finally get out into the camping again.

 

No trophy, but that made me think of this

Ended up with 7500lbs of landscape stones, a fountain & 6 packs of porch skirting.
Got all that unloaded. Her back hurts, mine hurts & the dogs are mag cause we were gone too much over the last 2 days.

Living the ouchy dream today.

 

Back to work tommorow. took the week off to get stuff done at the house. soo proud of my 2 son’s. the youngest took the day to take my grandaughters to Luray Caverns,then a picnic lunch. oldest played in a huge charity softball tourney(65 teams). girls had a blast. 5 brackets in the tourney. they were in the top bracket. the one above them was payed teams. yes they have payed softball teams. they won the top bracket then played a payed team. lost but earlier in the weekend could have beat them. so took 1st place in the top bracket.son is front row, 1st red shirt from the left

 

Kind of embaresed at church. im heading up the Ladys Banquet and Pastor put this in the bulletin. id rather work behind the scenes. lol

 

Carry Halt - it doesn't hurt them but they leave you alone. I've carried it for years and have sprayed a few dogs that have approached us https://www.chewy.com/halt-dog-repe...2533&msclkid=cfb4b7b5b8a61c4e42b1d19b52b50abe

Kids are cuter than ever and congrats to the ball team

evening gang

 

Have to be up at 4:00 am, wife has cataract surgery 6:15, she will be glad to be done with it. First eye went great, she’s kinda excited.

 

Hope all goes well for her.

I have to be up @ 6:30 (I know most of you are up by then ) the tree guys will be here by 7:00. Praying none of the branches land on my house or the fence....

 

Petco should have it. I know Amazon has it. I started carrying it with Ollie, the night after she got attacked by a bigger dog and she looked at me, as if saying "you are supposed to protect me". Thankfully she wasn't hurt, other than her mental health.

 

Glad to hear that the dogs didn't attack, but still a scary thing to have to go through. Use the $24 towards the bear spray! ( or a Mossberg 550 w/ pistol grips...)

There was a Scale model train show this weekend. I got to talk with the Colorado Model railroad museum Director, she was an incredibly nice person that did a great job of bring awareness to the museum but also the narrow gauge railroads in Colorado and New Mexico.



A club layout- someone has a sense of humor!


I found something that I shouldn't have bought, but it was priced pretty low compared to other sets that have recently sold on a specialty auction website. From the quick research I did, these were probably made in the mid 1960's in Toyoko, Japan.

It's a full set of the prototypical rail cars used in passenger service on the D&RGW during the 40's through the late 60's when passenger service stopped.
