Isn’t that what you do when you’re all layered up and have to take a le&k at -10 degrees?

Fact....

My cousin was struggling this season during a downpour to get his gear off and go. He said "sure is a lot of work to get 3" of pecker through 6" of clothing "...

I've got a laundry list of projects backed up around the house & shop. I'm remodeling my entire garage.... strip to studs, more electrical, new insulation, mini split ac/heater, drywall then building my own cabinets, closet and work spaces. I may get around to doing the framing and roof for an outdoor kitchen....

I have a solid 3 days of projects at my wife's business to do.

I'll make several trips to my CO property. I'd like to get some construction done there. At least get some things going to install septic and buried water cistern to plumb my trailer. Hopefully build a covered deck along that side of the shop if I can.

Knock out as many projects as I can on my side hustle.

Boys have baseball... BJJ... off season football & weight training. Girls have swim.

As much OT as I can stomach.

Reloading shotgun and rifle & shooting as much as possible.

Keep myself in shape and ruck my butt off... I have 2 deer hunts out of state this year.

Drink cold ones in the pool under the umbrella with my wife while the kids and dogs swim....

Garage and estate sale season opens, when it’s starts to warm up I start hitting the sales. Pick it up and flip it. Sell stuff on Craigslist and eBay and never worry about what I spend during duck season. I’m retired, my wife is retired and with both like going to sales, bought stuff for a $1 and got $500 for it, never know what you’ll find. Some stuff I keep for myself, like a beautiful Mason Premier Drake Mallard, all original paint, paid $10 for it. On the shelf with a lot of other antique wooden decoys I’ve found. Got to know what your buying, got an eye for antiques and collectibles.

Well, I'm reasonably certain I won't be dick hunting.

Been staying busy by doing the interior work in our front porch we enclosed.

Had a well drilled so now need to power it and plumb it. It's for irrigation and wife's horses. There were chunks of redwood bark coming up from seventy feet down when they drilled it. looked like they came off the tree yesterday. Kind of spooky. This landscape is younger and more active than we imagine.
