Re: Post Every Boring Aspect Of Your Mundane Life Thread
^^^ Was an attempt at a band-aid fix to get through the last of the spring breakup. There’s still snow in pockets here & there and the ground’s still frozen a foot or so down. We’re gonna have to rip the whole road out at some point. I suspect this spot is going to be soft about 6 or 8 feet down till it hits permafrost.… -

Dug out my crate of canning jars from the garage looking for a large half-gallon jar for the Wife for some produce but found none such size. Instead I set the crate aside to pull out, wash up, and use the 4 oz and 8 oz jelly jars I found for pipe tobacco storage. I ended up dumping some old green coffee from 2012 from a… -

Did a give-away yesterday. I had a big wood lathe that I had not turned on in three years. I also have been mentoring a person I have known for 30 years and been friends with his parents for 40. Luke wants to be a craft professional and is now building Winsor chairs and turning bowls. His lathe quit last month. I had been… -

Old time figuring for a cord of firewood around here is 4 feet wide 4 feet tall and 8 feet long. We have a kerosine radiant heater at the house and use wood on those cold nights. I have a ceiling hung propane tube heater in my studio for overnight and I usually crank up my wood stove first thing in the morning. My studio… -

Up at 4:30. Quick breakfast of one egg and fried grits. Up the hill to my studio for lots of coffee, a book and a robusto. Painted till 9:30 and hit the woods for a hour walk. Loaded up the truck with trash and recycling and headed for the dumpster site. On the way back stopped at the library to pick up a new James Lee… -

Yesterday, up at 4:30 for grits and an egg. At my studio at 5:00 made some of Peter's famous bean coffee and burned a robusto. Painted for two hours. Hit the grocery store when it opened and out in 1/2 hour. Got home and put away the food, grabbed up my walking stick and hit the old log trail. Back after a hour and a half… -

Last year we had to put up a 2' fence around our garden to keep the rabbits out. This year it's deer. There is a small herd of four or five does that are bedding down in our spring hollow. I think a least two will deliver young so we will have a bunch to contend with. Two foot fence will not do it needed to be six foot..… -

Some of you saw in the What Did You Get Today thread that I got 24 D cell batteries when I thought I only ordered 8. But the story doesn't end there after all. Other than a flashlight I never use, the only place I used D's is in my touchless garbage can, and the four it takes last for years, which is why I wasn't happy w/… -

I tore the muscles in my back flipping 8-block sections of tank track off the back of a wet flatbed 5-ton truck when I was 31. It doesn't matter if you were lifting correctly when the other two guys let go and jump off the truck and you're stuck on the end of the strip trying to keep it from sliding down your belly and… -

Do you like to BS? Do you ever have conversations with your bros where you just argue because you like to argue, and you like it so much that if you convince them, you change your mind just so you can argue some more? Do your kids want to become lawyers? (Get help, now.) If so, this family/party game, Superfight, is for…
