No, just restricted activities... Overcast all day, rain most of the day, embedded thunderstorms... miserable and really wrong for August.

Well that isn't all bad, you got a lil needed rest from the usual backbreaking wurk.....
Just makes the to-do list longer for the next day...Well that isn't all bad, you got a lil needed rest from the usual backbreaking wurk.....
I had this dream that I was still working the office 8-5, came home and kicked back for the evening.... Sigh.
Well, at least the dream wasn't a nightmare.....
Once upon a time, life was easy... no, wait...Well, at least the dream wasn't a nightmare.....
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...
Yeah, that's the ticket....
Morgan Fairchild...
You love it, who do you think yur kiddin?.....
But don't ya think 77 is pretty low for a high temperature in August? If it hadn't been raining, I could have gotten twice the work done without even breakin' a sweat.

So I guess some old phartz in Germany escaped from a nursing home to go out head banging 
Nursing home escapees found at heavy metal festival: police

Sheeh... I wouldn't do heavy metal even before I was an old phart... like, Pat Benetar was as heavy as I could get.
I'd feel safer in the nursing home... I could chase the skirts around there and not catch anything, but the skirts at a heavy metal concert probably have 47 different kinds of STDs to pass on to the nearest idiot...
Cheers to those guys! I have fond memories of the Monsters of Rock concert I attended back in '87. I recall how everyone went nuts when Metallica played, but were super mellow when The Scorpions played.
Keep fucking up your body at the homestead, you'll be in a nursing home sooner than you think.....
Naw, Lannie wouldn't permit it. Even if I was immobile, someone has to sit around and let all those feral kittens climb on him.Keep fucking up your body at the homestead, you'll be in a nursing home sooner than you think.....
What would Lannie do if you couldn't take care of all the animals?Naw, Lannie wouldn't permit it. Even if I was immobile, someone has to sit around and let all those feral kittens climb on him.
Well, when you become imobile, I'll fly you and Lannie to EC to watch ducks bred.....Naw, Lannie wouldn't permit it. Even if I was immobile, someone has to sit around and let all those feral kittens climb on him.
She's every bit as hard headed and stubborn as I am. She'd do her damnedest to take care of me AND the animals until it all broke her too, then we could go to hell together (I understand that's where the parties are).
Nah. Only Burning Man.She's every bit as hard headed and stubborn as I am. She'd do her damnedest to take care of me AND the animals until it all broke her too, then we could go to hell together (I understand that's where the parties are).
Ya know, even if I couldn't walk, I bet I could still pilot your new riding mower and Lannie would help your girlfriend sneak more livestock onto the property...Well, when you become immobile, I'll fly you and Lannie to EC to watch ducks breed.....
I was thinking about a couple lawn chairs by the lake, chewing coca leaves and betel nuts for shits and giggles.
Lawn wheelchairs?
Ah, the Life of Riley...
coca leaves and betel nuts for shits and giggles.... might give me the shits but not sure how many giggles would accompany that.
I know my wheelchair is comfortable and lightweight. I may not need it now, but I'll be glad to have it when I need it again.They make them now?
May order a couple for myself....
Hey, maybe we could have Tim Taylor work on 'em and then have wheelchair races around the lake...They make them now?
May order a couple for myself....
(we need more power)
Sarah may have an idea there....get into the (powered) wheelchair - lawn chair business before someone else grabs that market.
Yeah sure. I can invent one, and some ass will steal the idea and start making them in Mexico.
I was thinking a V8 with a pizza cooking tray.... it could be both Papa Murphy and Pop-a-Wheelie at the same time....
Only if you put your design "in the Cloud" (or use Google Design) where everything is guaranteed to be stolen.
This is why I still use a manual drafting board and anything I do on the computer is stored in a removable hard drive that isn't even plugged in longer than the few seconds it takes to save a file.
China, the wages are lower, and they don't give a rats ass about intellectual property.
One time, I started going through a patent process. The motherfuckers sold my idea, and I got fucked.
They will if an attorney doesn't do the work.
As long as I ain't got five grand to give an attorney, I ain't giving away any more of my ideas. I'll just make stuff I need.
What's the forecast tomorrow, Rich....."Clear with Rain"
I don't need to even look what the forecast is here, it's the same damn thing until October.
Hope to get out of here for awhile in the next couple weeks.....have more shit to do at my homestead than I care to think about.

Official forecast says "partly cloudy, 85 degrees, 20% chance of rain showers."
Well, I guess you can plan on Heavy Rain all day.
As long as SD is the polar opposite of TX. When we have a 20% chance of rain, it means clear skies all day and night, with just enough windto blow away any cloud with the gumption to get anywhere close.
Really kinda hoping the rain holds off, at least until after dinner, 'cuz I'd really like to drill a couple 3-foot-deep holes in the cow corral and set a couple big fat posts. I have about one month to finish the cow corral and cow pen before two new calves find their way into our world.
What's the soil like there?....boney....clay....couple feet of topsoil?
When we first moved here, that is what a neighbor told us. "If they say 20% it ain't gonna happen. If they say 30 or 40, it MIGHT happen. If they say 50 or more, plan on rain all day." Lately, if they even say "cloudy," plan on some rain.
About 30 feet deep sandy loam, unless you're on a steep hillside, in which case there's be some sandstone in there. Using the auger is only a pain for the first foot because it has been compacted by all the critters tromping it hard. Occasionally, you might run into a clay spot, but that's rare.
Wow...surprising....damn good growing soil.
Yup, it is. If you go over this whole area in a small plane, say at 2,000 feet AGL, you will notice the "roll" of the land, slightly hilly, a few gentle ravines, nothing too steep, and your brain will click that you have seen this before... ignoring the grass and the few trees, it looks like sand dunes on a large desert.... or if you have watched one of those Nat Geo underwater shows recently, you will recognize that this is all ancient ocean bottom sediment.
Lannie pickled a couple pints of green tomatoes today, as per your suggestion. I guess we get to taste that in three days...
Yup, it doesn't take long. She find a good fermenting video on Utube?
I love the damn things. I let them ferment about a week.
