Some how a small young rabbit got inside our 35ft by 30ft garden fence. I opened the gates, got a stick and went rabbit hunting. After twenty minutes of beating the vegetable bushes I jumped the little furbag and drove it out a gate. The next day the rabbit was back in the garden. Now I have to inspect the whole fence to find out how it's getting in.
LOL, it's a secret bunny technique. We had that issue until adding 2' of chicken wire outside the existing "rabbit fencing". Yesterday one was watching me do a pre-storm harvest not 6' away. Fortunately for both of us the rabbits like to eat the drops from the peach tree.
Coated the canvas covers & bimini top for the boat with waterproofing goop just to try to keep some of the rain out over the next few days. Directions said to run it through the tumble dryer to set the polymers into the canvas fibers. No way that would have worked, they weren’t gonna fit in the dryers, so out came the 750 degree heat gun. Fingers crossed it actually did some good.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
Packed up the tobacco that came in, hooked up the portable air conditioner, and tried out a Truly Strawberry Lemonade Hard Seltzer Freeze Pop. It's 100 F and smoky here.

In the past week on my morning walk I've seen a whitetail four point, two half grown fawns just loosing their spots, two does and a red fox. Lots of rabbits up around my studio and the garden fence is still holding.
Finally had a high c orange at McDonald's since I heard they brought it back. Delicious. My daughters only eat their fries so we got fries ranch and a high c orange lol
Family's upstairs, playing the CMA Summer Jam to see how long it takes them to protest. Not sure who's going to blink first, this ain't my idea of country music.

I'm embarrassed that people who know I like country music think I like the shît they play on the radio.
Funny. I watched a good bit of that the other night. I'd heard of most of the people who got up on stage. I enjoyed it, but having grown up with Tennessee as "home" (we were usually somewhere else) I have to say that it seemed that "country" music has changed a lot.
I like all kinds of music. Anything that's well done, even some rap / hip-hop, which was probably where I would have placed Carrie Underwood. I guess. Or maybe hip-hop inspired teeny-bop? It all seemed a little strange.
In the truck, I'm usually on Outlaw Country on Sirius, but switch back and forth between the various country stations, Beatles, Classic Rock, Grateful Dead, Bluesville, Symphony, Tom Petty, I don't care for Pearl Jam.
I guess the thing is that "back in the day" the songs were written by people. Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, John Prine, Loretta Lynn, Guy Clark, (love Guy Clark) they wrote songs. I get the feeling that todays country music is written by committee. Gotta like Chris Stapleton, though.
I guess it's true, change is the only constant. I always question it when I change to the Garth Brooks channel, and get Bruno Mars. Bruno's ok, but not what I expected, which is ok, because what the heck, I can always change the channel.

I just uploaded photos of my 2015 Accord registration, title, odometer, and my driver's license to Vroom.com. They offered me $21,500. As much as I like the car (6cyl. 6-spd, 5.6sec 0-60, nice coupe styling) I think it would be dumb to pass up on the offer. The computer chip shortage and its resulting unavailability of new cars has turned the used car market on its head. (I would love to hear what Glenn @MrShrek has to say about all this). A year ago my car would've sold for $16K on a good day, and here, a year older it's gonna sell for $5K+ over that.
I like to break down the expense of a car into 'cost of ownership per month', that's just the price paid plus maintenance/repairs divided by months driven. Insurance, interest, etc, that's not part of it. This car cost me $113 per month. Not too shabby. If I'd have sold it a year ago for $16K, the per month cost would've been $222.

Sell high and buy that Golf R in a manual, Ima have to wait 3-6months to get my Camaro, in the process of ordering finally. You can wait too, if you have to can always lease something for a couple months and still make a profit.
If you quote me do the @TX98Z28 in your text or I won't be notified of your quote, Thanks.

It is an insane market right now. I know our dealership is still offering top dollar for purchasing vehicles from private owners. You hit the nail on the head for the root cause of all of this. If I were you I'd take the money and run.
On my morning walk I cut up a mile and went through our county fairgrounds. The fair will be next weekend and they were setting up all the big tents and rides. The critters were in the cages and I saw pigs, goats, donkeys, horses, lamas, steers, ponies, and the chickens were raising he ll. There were lots of hand washing stations due to covid. When they open up I'll stay way as I don't care for crowds.
Back at my studio I spent several hours chain dragging logs and odd pieces of logs I had stashed for years under the open shed roof in the back. Cranked up the saw and bucked the logs up for firewood and started splitting with a hammer and wedges. Hate to burn cherry and walnut because they are pretty and burn fast but I got to stay warm this coming winter. The locust logs will burn just fine. I can't imagine living in a place with neighbors.
Just quoted fixing a 30 year old geo thermal unit. Honestly it's a clean unit for age but how long is the fix going to last $3500 will buy you how much time? That's the gamble maybe a month maybe 5 more years
Spent the last week cleaning 18 years worth of sand out of the spaces under the floorboards of the new to me boat I bought. Pulled close to 80 lbs of sand, waterlogged foam and 2 rotted out floorboards. Treated the surprisingly small amount of corrosion I found. Installed new fuel feed, fill, & vent lines, replaced the old foam with 2 inch blue board insulation foam ‘cause it’s hydrophobic, cut new floorboards out of pressure treated 3/4 plywood and glued marine vinyl to them. All just in time for things to start freezing over.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
Need to defrost some bread to make sandwiches this week, though I'm starting to think I want a hotdog today. I really wish I hadn't run out of mustard.

Backed into a tree at work this morning. Park there everyday and today didn't go well lol thats why I can't have nice things.
I hate it when stuff like that happens.
It's amazing (to me) how unmoveable trees are, even the smallish ones.

I saw one too!

^^^ I’ll concur with that. Check edmunds.com true cost to own... that’ll break things down for you.
Rust never sleeps. Neither do reports. I'll be glad when we get these automated.
I’m booked for Vegas in October and Florida in January.
