MUDRUNNER Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Last Friday check in of the month. What's the weekend plans for everybody? No sporting events for the kids this weekend so that's a needed break. Most likely I'll have to work tomorrow. It's supposed to be around 100 the next few days here, so probably won't be doing much outdoors. We have tickets to the Cardinal's game on Sunday so looking forward to that.

Ravin R10 man Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hot and Humid here...could have nasty T storms over weekend...still got contractors working to reopen flooded out roads. We had 9 roads washed out, 5 are now open, and looks like FEMA funding is heading our way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Too hot and humid here to do too much outside after about 10:00 a.m. I have a few chores to do around the house early in the mornings. The rest of the day, enjoy the cool sweet air inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Headed to work shortly til 2 then probably cut the lawn when I get home if it's not storming. Really hot and humid here in Ontario too! Highs between 95 and 100 with heat indexes between 110 and 120. Guess they weren't kidding when they said it was going to be a really hot summer for us. Canada day is tomorrow. Having some friends over for a BBQ and going into town to watch the fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Was out in this rotten heat most the day today. Finished up what I was able to bushhog this morning and swapped over to the tiller behind the tractor. Was about to take back off and noticed a puddle under the tractor, after cleaning everything up enough id'd the leak, an o ring on the line going in the pump. It was 11:45 then, closest dealer about 45 minutes away and closed at noon so will be Monday before I can get it back going. Done with that tractor for the day, so moved on to mowing the yard and doing some cleaning up with the little tractor. Mixed up a tank full of roundup and sprayed bean plots checked the one camera I have running. Not had a decent buck on camera yet this year. Holding down the recliner in the AC for the remainder of the day. Nothing planned for tomorrow, may spend most the afternoon in the pool with the kids.

Ultradog Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Much cooler today but raining. I was hoping to get a trench dug. Have to cut the blacktop driveway along the house and pull the asphalt up then hand dig 12" deep trench below that. Only about 20' though so not too bad. But I no sooner started and the rain came back. Concrete man is coming 7/12 to pour the slab for a new 30'X33' garage + apron. Am putting new 100 amp service to garage. Direct bury wire. I've been 2 years without a garage here at home. We added on to the house and the old 1 car garage had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS, I hated to just tear the garage down. It needed paint but was structurally sound. So I picked it up and put it on my trailer and hauled it 120 miles to our property. I just set it on treated 2x6s on a gravel pad. Cheap storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know that they are not supposed to, but they do. Would not hurt to saturate those treated 2x's with a termiticide. Reminds me I need to mix up some and spray my shed posts.

Dawg Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Spent all day Saturday neck deep in the Neches River. Didn't hit a lick all day Sunday and it felt great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Well, when I walked out of work on Saturday, I officially joined the ranks of the retired. Checked out June and 65 years. Many have asked me what it is I plan on doing with all my time. My answer; I plan on relishing the simple joy of doing nothing. Not that I'll be doing nothing, but there will certainly be no time line to get whatever I'm doing, done. In the coming weeks there is a trip to the east (NJ and PA) to visit family and that may encompass most of July. Then in August I'm taking my son and granddaughter for a tour of Yellowstone Park and then archery antelope opens August 15th. Sept. 2nd archery elk and deer begins and I suspect that will be the beginning of 3 months of hunting. Yep, a lot to do, but, nothing I have to do.

Ultradog Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Elkoholic, You do know that if you don't have a job you never get a day off. Right? :) We're the same age. I'll be 65 tomorrow. What was your draft number? Mine was 22. Happy retirement to you. I'm going to go a couple more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
