Annoyed at thread drift

Bullwhip, cat-o-nine tails, wet noodle, feather duster, fly swatter ? 😒
I'll go for a lambswool duster. Feathers break too easily.

Yeah. I'm still up. (Bright idea to swig tea with dinner.)
And, no, I didn't take any pictures today.
Of the garden anyways.
I did take some of two S&W 1911's at the LGS.
Considering the older of the two. JRE2sumpthin', 2005 vintage. 108282. Matte stainless. Rubber grips.
One issue. I'm not fond of rear sights of an unadjustable nature.
Dang dovetail's a proprietary size too, so aftermarket fittment's phhhht.
Which I also read in another thread on this here forum.
I likes it, and wonder if another as in as fab condition, with adj. aft sights, will put itself in my path.

Enough pondering and cogitation. Bedtime.
Night-night, Drifters.

P.S. Hope you feel better Rusty!
 
Just got back from my BIL's campsite, they have a nice spot along a river.
Very relaxing area.:cool: The granddaughter spent some time in the river which for the most part is only 4' deep. They actually have to small sized ferry boats operating that part of the river but not running at this time due to low water? :confused:....No rain!
Had some dinner and an ice cream for dessert before heading home! ;)
The important part, the granddaughter had a great time, she goes home tomorrow!

BCC glad you enjoyed the picture! :D

Good morning all. It's a hot and steamy Sunday in Houston and I need to walk off those extra few thousand calories of Mexican food I ate yesterday. I get the feeling that the flightless birds are planning something. Be extra vigilant today. Each of you have a great day!
 
Morning all. It's 48 here this morning. I'm waiting for my wife to wake up so we can go fishing for a little while. My lab will wake her soon. The dog will wake my wife up on weekends so we can go do something. It knows if it gets light out and my wife is still in bed it's not a work day.
I'm running away from home camping/fishing for a couple weeks on Tuesday. My wife has the following week off and I always go a few days early to get a good campsite. The sites are first come, first served so it's good to go during the week when most poor souls are working.
 
Good Sunday morning drift! Hope everyone had a good night. I don't have any type of plan for today yet but I haven't really got going yet. I have a lot of chores that I should do but not much enthusiasm. Hard to get going on outside chores when the temps are so high.
 
Good Morning:

I hope everyone slept well!

I slept hard but not long. Must've had plenty of dreams? That I don't remember? I woke up clinging to my pillow and it had drool and slight bit of slobber on it. So I hope what ever I was dreaming about, was more exciting than my waking up?

So everyone, enjoy your last day of rest, before hitting the return to the Ole Grind Stone tomorrow.

Stay Safe, Stay Out Of The Heat! Stay Hydrated. And PLEASE say a payer for the Men and Women in BLUE that Protect us each and everyday! They have a tough job. And deserve our respect and prayers.
 
Good morning to everyone in the drift! Getting ready for another fabulous day in Paradise! :cool:
Temps seem to be lower this morning but humidity is still high.
Granddaughter is up and moving and I'm sure after breakfast she will be in the pool! :cool:
Nothing big on the to do list but everything is marked as you go! :D

Time for more coffee and get the granddaughter moving!

Have a great day, stay cool and be safe! ;)
 
Since we're talking about sleep just a little, I had some of the best sleep I've had in quite a while last night/this morning. According to the run time gauge on the CPAP, it was over six hours! Which, as some of you may know from my constant complaining & whining on the subject, is a record level, for me.Of course, that six hours is not all at once, but off & on. I'll take it, though.
 
Let's See:

I just cooked a GIANT breakfast. Amish country ham, scrambled Amish organic brown eggs, Amish Bacon, Amish country smoked sausage, canned Grand Biscuits. And when I went yesterday to the Amish Country Store, I got some Bradley Mators. These are the best tasting Mators of the season so far. Real vine ripened Bradley's. They are a deep reddish purple. Absolutely delicious! Medium size, perfect size to dice of slice for sandwiches.

I also came to the conclusion, that I HATE all weedeaters. About three years ago I bought the Best Craftsman 2 cycle straight shaft. And only used it 2-3 times because, I was having a mower service do my yard. I only used it in between mowings or for touch ups. So it still looked Brand New. So I get it out a couple of months ago, couldn't make it start. Tried cleaning the carb, of course I changed the fuel. Even tried another fuel mixture, changed the spark plug. Nothing. I pulled and pulled till my guts hurt. So I went to Sears and bought a Electric Starter (it has the attachment built in) still wouldn't start. So I drag the weedeater bask to a Sears Service Center. Now, mind you, it still looked Brand New! Just a little grass stains on the cutting housing. Take it into Sears, the guy says it'll be $99 to check it out, plus any parts needed and will take two to four weeks for the repair? Plus tax? I only gave something like $139 for it new? So I got my money back on the Electric Starter Thingie and told him to throw the weedeater away in their dumpster. He said "I can't do that". So I got my refund and walked out. Leaving the weedeater. So I guess he did "Do That"! I left it. The Craftsmen weedeater I had before that one lasted me about 7 years of hard use. Never a issue! It finally had such low compression, it got hard to start, but would still start, using starting ng fluid. I like the Craftsmen, because of the single easy to use string. But, I'm assuming now they're like Bic Lighters and Kia's (sorry Bic Lighter Owners)? Meant to be Disposable!

So fast forward to Fathers Day this year. I went to Home Depot (June 11th to be exact) and used the money the kids gave me for Fathers Day and bought a Ryobi 40 volt electric weedeater, it came to $172 with tax. And had a 5 year warranty, and a in store 90 day complete money back refund. I thought, Waa Laa, no more pulling my guts out. No more mixing gas. I used it three times and the battery wouldn't even do what little trimming I needed to do and then completely stopped charging, even following the owners manual to a T! So I took it back and got my money back yesterday evening. I give up! And don't know what to do? I guess I'll look into a good commercial type 4 cycle??

I HATE Weedeaters!
