Stop in for a cup of coffee

Put in a long day of yard work.

The weeds got away from me this summer so now I am trying to catch up.

My poor lawn tractor is beat to **** from the year and needs a lot of work.

I might get to cleaning it up tomorrow but today i cleared a huge area.

I have chickens so cleaned out the coop.

Spent about two hours with the tiger torch burning the goat head vines.

Long day
Much Respect!

Better..... they still want me to take it easy but I really don't have time to sit around.

I am being smarter about lifting and asking for help with operations I used to do myself.

I had my dad lift the propane tank into a radio flyer wagon and i pulled it around to burn weeds. There is a time I would have just carried it and thought "quit being a wuss"

Well, my plumbing job sucks as expected.... Both outside faucets are unrepairable. The newer one out back was just falling apart. I was lucky it didn't rupture and fill the wall with water. The older front one WAS rebuildable, but cant find the collar seal and the handle. It was starting to deteriorate on the shaft screw, so not worth going to extremes to find the parts. I just cut the front pipe inside and popped a SharkBite valve on it for now. Got a better replacement for the back and installed it. As expected it was a pain. lots of :mob::mad::wtf::BangHead: for a couple hours. Lol. Connecting new to old/ getting water out of the old run so it stops cooling the joint. always a challenge.
I'll have to move some stuff and get more part to do the front one another day...

In Norway it is common to have the faucet inside the basement, and it is made so that the pipe from it goes out through the concrete and it is a long rod that also comes out. So, when you open or shut it everything happens on the inside, but the connection is on the outside. It is made to prevent the thing to freeze in the wintertime. Must be something similar here too, at least in the chillier states in this lovely country.

Dang, you know you put in a day of work when you heard a lot of songs through the day.

When I work I play music from a pen drive and went through 143 songs.
 
Been busting it all day to get things done and clean around here. Now I'm whipped. Time for sleep. G9 All
 
That would be sooooo cool.

When I have bon fires, I always use to much gas for that WAWHOOOOOSH adrenaline rush. At least I thought it was a rush but I need to up the ante like that pic
Be careful. A friend burned his leg pretty bad lighting a fire with gas.

Good to hear it is better, you know, we only come with one set of everything. And not even a 5 year warranty.

By the way, do you have a good garage for working on the Valiant ?
