Labor Day Weekend

BIL,SIL, and other friends stopped by for dinner last night. The polara has a 572:smokin:
My jeep is down in the woods, I need to find the winch remote :homer:

Had a callout which put the jail below min staffing. I felt pretty shitty but went in anyway. Got a sinus infection or some shit. Besides being short staffed and having a few emergency responses, not as bad as it could of been. Need to sleep to make that sweet holiday pay tonight.

We did stuff around the house yesterday morning and then the wife and I golfed 18 in the afternoon.
Last night was a bonfire a few blocks away from 8-midnight.

Today is going to be a chill day. The only thing planned is sealing the front deck and that should only take about an hour.
 
I can't walk on my foot much at all, so we got my fall decorations out and I've been slowly putting summer shit away and fall shit out. My right-hand knuckles got smashed between the wheelchair and a counter at the hospital and are still really swollen.

He's working on the RC trucks.

Maybe thunderstorms again today so at least it's not smokey again.
 
did I miss something?
we both must have.
WTF did you do to yourself?
I have no idea. On Saturday night my daughter had me ride a ride with her called the scrambler, twice. It wasn't too violent of a ride but it fucked something up because I felt off after riding it :homer:. I seemed ok Saturday night, a little discomfort, I'm not sure what happened last night.

Is your neck really bad? Mine will make my vertigo really bad when it gets jolted around.

It's been getting pretty stiff lately, like popping when I turn my head. This has either been causing migraines ot or result of them, I'm not sure. I thought that I was over it Thursday or Friday though, guess not.

I have three scoliosis curves in my neck and 3 bulging discs. For years and years, I got weekly migraines.

And the Dogio is finished. Roof wound up a little cockeyed due to differences of the fence angle to the house but overall I think it came out pretty good. Wife is happy with it and the dogs seem to like it. We will see how long it takes them to just start using it on their own.
 
Shit.... Water bill indicated I used 7K gallons of water last month. I recently installed a freeze proof hydrant where an old drip irrigation was connected. I figure I am leaking 3K gallons somewhere! Tied into to an existing sch40 PVC with PEX. I need to dig up the PVC and follow it back to where it is tied into the main feed line. Started digging tonight, lots of moist soil but no mud; haven't foud the PVC connection! :flipoff::flipoff::flipoff::flipoff:

If I can't find it tomorrow; calling in a plumber on Tuesday. Fuck this shit! :flipoff:
Fucking idiot! Pulled my head out of my ass and determined that I didn't have a leak! :homer::homer::homer::homer: But the good news is; I did find the tee to the hydrant! Fucking water meter measures to .01 gallons. I have some heavy plastic sheeting laid under the rock landscaping; shit traps water! Going to install an outside shut-off ball valve in an oversize irrigation box. Might consider a meter at that point. The main meter and shut-off is 300 ft away from the house.. Real bitch to turn the valve while fighting off rattle snakes, scorpions and spiders.:smokin::smokin::smokin:
 
Been on the run most of the day today.

Helped a good friend get his 70 Impala Convertible pulled out of shop bay, after went over to my other friends place and grabbed some steel/wood as he is moving out of the state soon.

Gave him my single stage snowblower, where he is going he will no longer need his two stage (being sold with the house).
I was not using it anymore, (scored a free Honda snowblower, courtesy of an ignorant employer wanting to scrap it - had it running in under 30min:laughing:).

Yesterday I took care of the front yard, raked-cut grass-trimmed-watered. After that I did Costco run for some on the road necessities.
 
Most of the family have left for home.
I have everything but the bare essentials packed up (water, sewer, electricity, rum :homer:). Tomorrow after coffee and the morning potty break, I’ll dump the tanks, roll up hoses and cables, then head for home in the morning.

Tomorrow we hang out on the couch with Elliot 🥰
 
Well monday was a fucking day.

Went to butcher up our steer with family.
All day. 930-8pm. My back fucking quit around noon.
All packed up and fuck off for home. 10pm
Split up all the meats and head to the uncles un occupied house to take advantage of the empty freezer, to find to door kicked in and the quad missing.

Meanwhile................

The neighbor dogs are barking their heads off and something that some what sounds like a yowly dog or screems for help/attention.

Pack the meat in and totalgirlfriend and her mom keep hanging on the "yelling". Comes n goes. Sometimes yelling sometimes shitty dog noises.

Walk around his house and cant hear shit but dogs, check the ditchs on the hiway and hear it again.

Go back up tje road between the house and def hear a dude yelling. Im hollering and hes just yelling, laid the fuck out on the deck, 2/3 dead.


Its my fault for saying shit went great with the cutting and drive home.

Amberlamps hauled him off but rough day all around.
