What did you accomplish today?

Woke up, groped the wife, took a piss. So far so good

Ran around to select some composite for my next project, drove a bit faster than usual because a full tank of gas is like a full bag of weed - caution to the wind until you get to that half way point

Spending the better part of the afternoon working on a quote for an outdoor living project, once that's done it's back to working on the house and beers beers beers. Putting up a 12x16 shed, have to put the hogs in first but it might be a tad too hot for that action today.

You guys don't even know.

You ever used a tractor as a skidder on a mountain side. I watched a guy get killed doing the same dumb shit.


There was some old growth red oaks on the property. Needed the money. Had a tractor.

Anyways. I cut a trail and used block and tackle to keep the front of the tractor down.

My asshole could've still cut washers out of nails.

Change of plan - Smirnoff Ice and orange juice with lots of ice (cubes).

The guy I was talking about, he hung a log on a rock on a steep mountain side and when it reared back his foot slipped off the clutch.

He screamed "oh god!". Then it was over. Tractor crushed him.


Guys, serious, be careful doing dangerous work.


I don't smoke weed and do dangerous things.




Well, sometimes I do.

Laid out some pavers by front porch...stared at steps for hour then snapped said fuck this. Took off glued tops and decided we're making them wider on Monday. I need enough room for 2 people to flank my 93 yr. old mother in law up those steps. Or somebody drunk up or down, never know...

So a temporary step back to make it a little better...

the fucking room is getting painted today. the new drywall looks decent enough, it's been spackled and sanded twice now. threw on some paint last night just to see for sure. already painted the ceiling again, just waiting for it to dry so i can tape off and do the walls.

then i'll just have to trim out, frame a mirror, and do an easy little built in organizer.

the finish line on my "simple" remodel is finally in sight. fuckassshit.

I had to replace the 2 ballasts in my kitchen light today. Never done that before. After snipping and splicing what seemed like hundreds of wires I was as giddy as a fat kid at the ice cream truck when I flipped the switch and light appeared. The boxes said to be installed only by an electrician. I guess I'm an electrician now.

You too! I replaced a gas water heater the other day and he was all like "hey neo don't forget to do the bubble test so you don't blow up". As if I actually care if I blow up. Man some people.

Finally found it's mother a few minutes ago. I'm still going to help feed it, but it was making me teh sadz when it would try to go up to one of my cats just to get rejected or swatted at. It's mother was cleaning it and feeding it for a while and now it's playing with it's two siblings in the yard.

bye socks change

Finished cleaning up the flatbed and got it mounted on the truck. I put on a different headrack, bedlined the deck and added new reflective tape.


I still need to hook up the lift and do the wiring.

Been taking care of a kitten since I got home from work. I've been bottle feeding it between it's naps and making sure my cats don't kill it. I'm pretty sure it's my cat Lucifer's grandkitten, it looks just like her son, and he is the only black cat I've seen within several miles of here.

The rest of the litter didn't make it, and he wasn't looking so good. So I've been taking care of the little shit and my niece has been looking after it while I'm at work.
