Tired and about to crash for the evening.
9:30 to about 3:00 was taking the Wife Unit to church stuff.
Then worked until dark on a shed.

No MTL, just a tight draw. I was looking at my pile of subtank mini's....must have 10 of them all broken apart cleaned. An entire plate full, I didn't actually count them, might be 15
You building a new one for yourself?
Yeah, they have chased her a few times. They do not chase me because they know I will not put up with their shit. However, they do sit up in the rafters and yell at me because they can get away with it and I cannot reach them up there. But when they are outside, they stay out of my way. They know I will kick their butts. Power respects power.@Lannie had me lmao this morning regarding the Guineas.....
Lannie and I disassembled the house chickens cage and cleaned it, then I installed the new floor with short walls and reassembled the whole thing. Chicklet appears to be happy now and I know Lannie is. BTW, I found a 3'x6' sheet of lexan that, when I peeled the contact paper off one side, was only 1/8" thick and it worked great.
Man oh man...you two work like heck seven days a week.....
Actually, we do not see it as working our butts off. This is just who we are. It is nice, every once in awhile, to have a slow day, but for the most part, we have a zillion things to do and both of us just do what needs doing. We seldom even question that. If it is in front of you, do it. You can bitch later that you are tired or sore, but we will get up again the next day and do whatever needs doing. I somehow doubt, even if we won the lottery (I know, ya gotta buy a ticket first), that either one of us would even be able to tolerate laying around with nothing to do. That is just not us.Man oh man...you two work like heck seven days a week.....
Same here Rich,,,which is why I was inspecting an office building today and it's 103F outside. I just want to finish up with this investor so I can leave, and my employee can do the building inspections. I want to finish building my farm. I'm way behind. Planned on being there last month, until an old time investor called and asked if I would do the inspections....so here I am...hopefully, I'll be telling the same farm stories next month, minus the animals.....
Well, I am rooting for you, amigo. But I also hope that when you get moved to Ecuador for good, that you will still stay in touch.hopefully, I'll be telling the same farm stories next month, minus the animals.....
See it as happening and it will be.
Later inspects, till tomorrow!
G'nite, Dale.
Thought I saw Sarah running through here, but I'm bailing out for the night too, so bye-bye to anyone who might still be lurking.

Night all! Weekend went by quick and tomorrow’s another work day...
Not only cleaned Chicklet's cage, but I planted seeds out in the garden yesterday, too. My back was VERY sore when all was done and finished, but I had ice cream with hot fudge on top for dinner, so it was all good. I still need to get some cantaloupe seeds planted today, and some chives, but then I have to wait until Rich can till the flat beds on the ground before I can get the rest planted. I think I just have squash, cukes, and beans left to plant. Oh, and I'll put some carrots and basil in the tomato pots once I get the tomatoes planted out. I have onions, tomatoes, and peppers started in the house, but they have to wait another week or two until they're big enough to go outside. There is an astonishing amount of bindweed in the garden this year, it's going to be hell trying to keep ahead of it. That stuff is the master of creepie-crawlie, and NOTHING seems to kill it. I haven't tried nukes yet, though...

Your house chicken's name is Chicklet? Oh that is priceless! I love it!
Ice cream with hot fudge is pretty priceless, too. I accidentally made some fudge that was great on ice cream once - was actually trying to make real old-fashioned fudge in the microwave, and it never set up properly. That stuff was so good. Have tried everything under the sun to recreate it, but nope. A one-timer.
Your and Rich's life sounds super busy. Must be very rewarding, except possibly for chasing after weeds. That sounds frustrating. Animals, though, that's gotta be a different story. Your avatar, is that a pic of one of your fur babies? If so, name please? I've only just come back into an appreciation for dogs in the last few years. Spent most of my adult life as a cat person, but the old Baby Girl we have now, a senior beagle who just wandered up one day, has changed my mind. She's awesome, thinks the sun rises and sets in my husband. He likes her more than he wants anyone to know, I think.
He just calls her "Girl," I added the "Baby" part, because I can't keep myself from baby-talking to the animals. He cringes.
Naah about a 50 YR old 10 X 14 wood shed repair.
It is to become my yard care shed.
cutting out rotten boards and stubbing in new ones and such.
Lannie only gets on here in the morning and might miss your post, so I'll answer for her. Lannie's avatar is Kiara, a Great Pyrenees that I drove all the way to Knoxville, TN to acquire many years ago. Kiara is very old now, but she is like us in that she perceives herself to have an important job here and she's going to try to do it even though she hurts a lot and is really slow about getting around. Anything additional, I'll leave to Lannie (hopefully she will see one of these posts).

Thanks, Rich! Beautiful fur lady you have there.
Great Pyrenees are LGDs (Livestock Guardian Dogs) and, as such, we are told that they should have as little human contact as possible. We have come to the conclusion that only applies to those who live out in the pastures with the sheep (or whoever they are protecting). While our two Pyrs do live outside (never in the house), we have contact with them all the time and have found no adverse results - they still protect the chickens from foxes, etc. While Kiara comes up to either of us for pets and scritches (she appears to prefer me), Jasper (the male Pyr) only allows Lannie to pet him... almost like there is an unspoken agreement that the male dog cannot allow anyone else to see another male (me) being nice to him or him permitting such action (a pride issue?). Jasper weighs in about 120 pounds and can take down just about any predator who might be stupid enough to come on our property.
I gots a V1 Nuppin that Todd actually vaped with!
I know Rich will be going... What's a nuppin...

This is Todd and a Nuppin is a near mythical much sought after Sqounk atty.

I think that is one that takes 2XXXX batteries?
I believe you have to have the best 2XXXX batteries to get 100W out of it.
And they are around $17 each or so I think.
And you charger may not fit them...
Of course I think it has an adapter for 18650 cells.

The 100W Aegis takes either 18650 or 26650. There's a bigger Aegis, like @Lady Sarah said. They also have the Blade (beautiful) that takes 2 batteries, either 21700s or 18650s.
I cancelled an order at FT earlier, and the store credit is burning a hole in my pocket. I just need to go to bed and leave this alone. Don't need another mod at all.
Have been actually wanting a Wismec Sinuous P80 (the bronze color) but have never had Wismec gear, and don't know if it's any good. But I still don't need another mod.

The geekvape aegis legend takes 2 batteries, and is a 200w device. The original geekvape aegis at 100w uses one battery, a 20700 with an adapter for the 18650. The 18650 (according to some reviews) would give about 4 to 6 hours of vaping. I'm not too sure that is believable, as my dual battery mods last 2 days before I need to charge them. I guess it depends on if you turn it all the way to the max, and most don't.

Aegis 100w is 18650/26650. Prolly just ok for 100W boost with right battery. Legend is the new 2x18650 one and pretty good lookin actually.
Edit: they must have more than 1 variety for non Legend Aegis

We just had our drama. A neighbor called the cops about a possum. A cop showed up at my house with a rifle, shot it and hauled it off, saying it was foaming at the mouth. This was an adult male, unlike the little possum Phillip shot last week.
I already saw a report of a rabid **** shot and killed just last week in town.

Yup. They only came in from the pasture because a gigantic supercell thunderstorm with almost continuous lightning, thunder that sounded like I was standing next to an entire battery of massive war canons, and downdraft winds in excess of 70mph hit us this evening. I took the flag down, but the wind was still bending the empty pole. Tumbleweeds? Nope, they were flying at head height and damn they sting when they hit ya. I thought I was being attacked by a whole division of UFOs from your home planet.
Add: The entire driveway turned into a raging river in a matter of seconds.

Must be like Arakis. Made to test the faithful.
Yeah, and it isn't even thunderstorm season (summer) yet. Lannie and all the animals go totally paranoid during events like this and I am like, "Wow! What an unusual shape that cloud has."
I read the entire Dune series (Arrakis, later called just Rakis). Frank Herbert was a pretty good writer.
Sumbitses keep getting hung up in my barbed wire fences. Quite annoying.
Was about 100 degrees today.....low humidity tho, feels like 78F Florida weather.
Indeed....or hit one with the truck and don't realize you're dragging it until you see smoke in the rearview mirror....
FIRE....
I managed to mow the garden and part of the commons (before the storm), then tilled the garden (first pass through the whole thing) and it was only 82 degrees but with 42% humidity. I sweated so much my shirt looked like I had been standing in the shower and I quit when I started to feel like heat stroke was imminent. Then the storm started and the humidity went to 100%, but the temp dropped to 65 and it actually felt cool outside (while I was dodging those flying tumbleweeds).
No low humidity in FL.
When I lived in Tampa and returned form a business trip I always knew I was at the right place from the moldy smell as I stepped off the plane.
Indeed no low humidity in FL....was there about 2 months ago, my son lives in Clearwater.
42% humidity is dry as heck here.
Foir the rest of the summer it will be at a low of 60%. Can't wait for the 90 deg/90%'s of summer.
