So How Are You Spending This Free Time... so to speak

LOL crucialbunny i'd be running to that truck too :) Made some strawberry/razzberry jam had to use up some berries from the freezer so threw in some razzzberries from last year mixed with this years strawberries smelled so good cooking jam.
 
THAT is the way to do firewood. No need to cut and haul it out of the woods....slice and dice: done. that 40’ trawler is probably air conditioned... you’re good !
 
I pulled out a couple of old single shot shotguns to clean up, a 410 and a 16 gauge. Once I got the "16" gauge cleaned I dropped a shell in it and noticed it fit a bit loose. I went out and popped it off, the shell split all the way down its side! So now I think it is not a 16 gauge but a 14 or 15 gauge, I had no idea they made these odd gauges, and I have a lot of 16 gauge ammo.
 
Well it's 2x a day for watering around our place. Irrigation for the majority of the property just flip a switch sprinklers pop up but it's maintaining those as they get older some are 15yrs old and the spread not as good. Fixtures get clogged with river particles so it's repair replace time. Took in a concert at a winery last saturday yearly "Janis in the Vines" was canceled but she was there LOL. Of course we were 6ft apart and wore our masks except to take a sip ;) we don't go crazy like the pictures you see on the news sites, maddness but young folks think nothing of the consequences.

Yes they are on stage small small venue tables and chairs are further than 6ft apart. Also went to BLM now this stands for Bureau of Land Management in our area of thoughts and they have some beautiful campgrounds not being utilized do to " fear " go out and enjoy the less populated lands we all paid for and respect the earth. Get out in nature.
 
Given the idle time... I just cleaned and oiled my Grandfathers 12 gauge over/under. There are enough deer in the yard trying to get to my garden, I’m thinking a little early practice might just be the thing to do. Last time this was fired was probably 1967?
 
I have been watching different TV shows lately lol. I bought a Firestick and installed a bunch of different cool apps for free movies and shows which I found on https://www.firesticktricks.com/mobd...ernatives.html and I guess it is the best thing in my life during the pandemic lol. Do you have any recommendations? What do you watch these days, guys? :)

Yes us too lots of movies but shortly will be sitting outdoors as temps heat up and sipping cool drinks and throwing sticks to the dogs and having fires on the river bank. I built a river rock circle the other day getting ready for it. :)
 
I'm going to invite our first dinner guests over for lasagna. I tell ya socializing after this shit show i'm needing a refresher course in not acting like a wall flower. Almost like getting to know folks all over again? For fun stuff i'm growing flower seed flats and getting big pots ready for veggies i want to try and grow in large 15gal pots i used for weed but now i'm gonna use them for potatoes, artichokes and tomatoes. I made a bit of a privacy hedge from viewing the new trashy hoarders next door ( excuse my hateful speech but they are ) made a hedge of itailian cypress and maple trees.
 
I have a lot of free time on my hands most days. I still get out and service one customer a day, but i used to deal with 3-5 per day. I support the banking a money industry as well as counterfeit detection specialization, but 90% of my workload is shutdown entirely (casinos).
So I’ve done a lot of puttering around the house and workshop. Yard is finally free of snow and ice so i picked up about 100lbs of dog crap that finally revealed itself. I’ve been working on mastering the art of making cinnamon buns. My dog gets more walks at the off-leash park. And last but not least, I’ve become addicted to watching archeology videos on YouTube (British tv show Time Team).
 
What I hate about chatting via Zoom with my Yucatan's friend is to see the bloody emerald water of the gulf from their backyard or is it beachfront ?? Shit I have a backyard they don't.

Damn you Covid !!
 
I am working on my third manifold, and I've been making jewelry, gardening, cooking, baking, getting high. One more week of school: yay!!!

YYCannabis our youngest daughter began her studies doing anthropology and did a dig in NM one summer. We use to go for many years boondocking in the deserts and doing small arrowhead, thunder egg hunts also moonstones. Some of our best memories when our kids were young learning history of the land.

Do we have folks from northern Ontario? I live in the Toronto area but I grew up in northern Ontario. Ontario is a huge place but you never know who you went to school with or met through the friend of a friend.
 
Stumps are a b****rd to take out. I spent summers growing up at a cottage that could only be accessed by boat and I have taken out more than a few stumps. We do it the hard way, with a shovel, an axe and a 6 foot heavy steel pry-bar (and maybe a chainsaw with a bit of tip-cutting when dad wasn’t looking but I know now how dangerous that was). You earn your dinner on those days. The problem with just going below grade in the city and leaving in most of the roots is mushrooms will often grow from the remains. Not a problem in the country but a pain if you are looking for a very tidy yard.
 
The stories on this forum are way better than other forums! Reminds me of my years in Ireland where the truth never got in the way of a good story (I mean that as a good thing).
