What did you accomplish today?

I took apart 4 chainsaws yesterday and was only able to get one running, the smallest one I have, which doesn't do me much good. One needs a lower case and bearings, one needs a cylinder and pistons, one needs parts that aren't available anymore:wall:. Fucking sucks, i wanted this wood dealt with quick and now I'm looking at, at least, a week before I START seeing any parts. So I'm gonna roll the dice on another used one if I can find a good deal in the next couple days.

I got up early today and went and picked the garden. Got a pile of cherry tomatoes, few san marzano tomatoes, a couple cucumbers, a couple peppers, 3 summer squash, bunch of Swiss chard, bowl of string beans, sage, basil and a surprise cantaloupe. I didn't plant cantaloupe where this was, I thought it was butternut, and it's getting huge. I saw a dozen baby fruit already. I fucking love melons, and they remind me of my grandfather being cheesy and saying "Oh, honeydew! I cantaloupe. Oh,casbah!" whenever he bought them. I need to get out there and tie back plants and weed..I could barely walk around between my tomatoes spreading like vines and the squashes running everywhere. Need more room, gotta go bigger next year. It's pouring out now, so today's all indoors, mixing soil, transplanting and training, then i gotta start harvesting tonight.

I work too much for someone that doesn't work..o_O

No, backstraps, son

Finally got around to frying some loins in bacon grease few days ago 1.5 min each side. I pussed out and did them on the grill.

I'm gonna experiment smoking a roast, braising, then into a crock for shits. Try and make a nice pepper crust. Very small roasts and they've been in the deep freeze for 2 years now so just gonna see what happens.



Also made some bubble. 2 min wash, dump, repeat. Rest of the material saved for coconut oil.


Cleaned the washer and bags with everclear. Winterized for three days and still fucked up and can see a bit of waxes suspended. Think I poured too quickly or possibly a small hole in filters. Either way s'not bad, s'not bad at all.

Put concrete under the deck I built for my sister. Would have been a lot easier to have done it first but my brother in law doesn't plan very well.

I have an 8 x 14 enclosed porch that's maybe 14" off the ground and has dirt underneath it. I've been fighting it since my parents bought the house. It's always collected water in heavy rain that seeps into the basement. I had to replace a few stringers about 5 years ago because of rot. I had mounded it with packed dirt to divert water, covered with plastic and pea stone, when i fixed the stringers, but that's washing out again and is too inviting to pests. I can't believe I never thought about cementing it. :dunce: Thanks God!

Last time I went I couldn't hit anything past 70 mph
I grew up playing ball but once i hit high school and discovered real partying baseball was over. I haven't held a bat but a couple times since. 70s were wizzing by so i spent the last hour just smacking softballs. Then i got a bucket of balls for the driving range and instantly remembered why golf was never my thing.
