So what did you do today?

[Frank bierce]

Pulled some saws out to tinker with today. Been quite some time since any have been started, and have never gotten the 3100g started.
Had to pull the flywheel, and clean the points on the 3100, and it threw a beautiful spark after that…poured a lil fuel down the carb, and vroom!! Probably the first time it’s fired in 15 years. Now I’ll need a carb rebuild kit to get it ready to pull fuel on its own. All the others started up like champs!! 041g, 900evl, 3100g, 090av, 090g, sp125, 797.

I came home from work and changed my moms and my car to winter tires.
I still need to store the summer tires for the winter and change out the windshield fluid on both cars to winter fluid.

Church this morning followed by a Checker Burger. Then I came home and painted some shutters that will go back on a rental house. Prepped the vehicle that Groundi is going to drive to Michigan later this week since I'm headed to Ossabaw Island to hunt some pigs.

I'm sure there's feral hogs in Iowa. Just need to find out what farmer wants them gone...

I'm presently working on installing a new heating AC system .Propane 70,000 BTU input ,95 percent with a 3 ton AC .After two geo-thermal units that eventually failed because of mineral free or "clean " water the heat exchangers failed after about 8-9 years .To get water inside a compressor is instant death you know . To put in a ground loop in this part of the country it takes 5 to 700 liner feet of loop per ton .Those units were 5 ton rating ,lots of trenching .Nope done with it .
I should finish the gas piping today .Have done the duct work etc .The power is less than a half hour job .
The trick now is getting under a side walk for the supply line .I think I can do it with a dynamite auger they used to place charges under big oak stumps when I was just a youngster .I did it before tunneling under 12 feet of concrete floor to shove a low pressure air over hydraulic line for my auto lift which was 1 1/4 " schedule 80 pipe .This will be an 11/4" or 11/2 " PVC for a chase .Nothing is impossible you just have to think outside the box so to speak .

Because of important packages'-arrival I took a day at-home, needed to catch-up on much anyways, most-importantly my (significant, >100 trees, >half decade of work/development) bonsai garden, only to find that *finally* my neglect caught-up with me!! Only recently did I sign insurance for year-2 of "being solo", had such little time that I just aimed to ensure I kept everything watered & fertilized at least once a week, but sometimes work just doesn't allow...and, on some specimen, in bonsai containers like this lil Lava Rock slab I carved for it, 2d of inattention is enough :/ Years of development, pruning / wiring over&over, annual root-prunes etc, gah can't believe one of the trees (yup, lost >1!) that died was a Bougainvillea they aren't just hardy they're "drought-hardy'!

Thought it looked cool on my truck, it is all just dead trees amirite??

[hard to see in the pic but the center of that (dead)bonsai's trunk, the "front center" striping is deadwood, with that gnarly lil spike at the 'crotch' (unsure if I subconsciously had antropomorphization on-mind when carving that!!), this thing was a stunner when in-flower!!!]

I just finished updating the woodshed. Pallets for outside walls between original posts. Four and one half foot extension on the front. Divider wall is 2x4 and pallet salts removed from top of pallet. Will dress up front and soffit after I fill with wood. Each side will be close to a years supply for me. I heat with a OSB indoor furnace. It does a excellent job wood saver too.
My winters are not what they used to be. Just now starting to burn some wood for this winter. Still around 50 degrees in the day time here.

Got up really early today so I went out for breakfast then had an early appointment at the dealer for a service on the Escape.
Got home and got my pressure washer, push mower and zero turn tucked in for the winter.

Back from Ossabaw. Our group of three got 6 pigs. We also caught and ate a shark. First time I've eaten that. Today I worked on plumbing issues at rental properties. Sink and toilet. Also serviced a vehicle (oil change, inspection). My next life goal is to shoot a deer with a handgun. I've taken deer with a rifle, shotgun, muzzle loader and bow. So need to add that in...

Would hitting one with a car, then using a handgun to finish it off still count?

Probably at least 30 years ago Ohio had the bright idea you could use either a .357 or a 44 mag to hunt deer in addition to shotguns and muzzle loaders .Brilliant all that did was cause a bunch of wounded deer .They also made rifles in those calibers .Now you can use anything with a straight case like a 50/90 Sharps or a Gov 45/70 . At one time I could knock a hair off a fly's azz at 200 yards with a rifle but could not hit Lake Erie from a row boat with a hand gun .

We used to take pigs off Ossabaw with a handgun, .44mag. Sneak up the creeks leading into the island starting at low tide. The pigs would be feeding in the marsh.
Get the boat up close to the trees and catch a few reds then sit still as the pigs would come back towards the higher ground out of the marsh. they will walk right by you.
Have not taken one in 15 years but still have them walk up while fishing. The DNR will take issue with this now even if you take one in the marsh which is below the high tide line. They have no sense of humor anymore.

I just go back to my navy days and a Colt model 1911 .They said the effective range is about 50 feet .I was lucky to even hit a 50 foot target which as large as a basketball .Take the same pistol target out to 200 yards I could get 8 out of ten in the black with an :06.Later in life I have hit red fox on the run with an :06 shooting 55 grain accelerators but not every shot of course .
