    I love the smell of sealcoat in the morning

    I got my driveway paved in August 2021. And finally got it seal coated all these years later. :LOL: I'd actually planned on "doing it myself" with the help of the boy, but after calculating the material and tool costs, plus what I'd have to pay helpers, it was actually a little cheaper to...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    My buddy got back to me and I took the mower over to his place. He put the deck belt back into place while I was sitting there talking with him. Didn't even know he'd completed the job. I got the grass cut just fine after that. My friend used to do a lot of property cleanup jobs for folks and...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    I went out at 0730 this morning to cut the grass, but the deck belt came off my JD 150 riding mower. Waited for my buddy to wake up, then sent a message asking for help. And he's also supposed to help me with the boat this weekend. Still waiting. 🤪 Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I contacted...

    And for me with the Kingfisher, it was the number of hospital trips.

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    Oh yeah, I'm also fighting Cogon grass, one of the worst top ten invasive grasses in the world. It can have 3 tons of underground rhizomes per acre! I feel like I'm fighting the giant plant from outer space from the movie "The Little Shop of Horrors!"

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    And here I am again. Have done even more outside work, including laying 2 pallets of new sod by the new front steps and nearby area. Still have more sod to buy and lay. The boy is out of state now, so more sod will wait until his return. And plenty of indoor work got done too. Day after...

    1979 starcraft super sport cable steering to hydraulic steering

    I installed (well, my buddy did) Uflex hydraulic steering last year in my 1997 Mirrocraft. It has a Merc 150hp XR6 that came off a bass boat with dual cable steering. It was a straightforward installation, except my bud had the controls reversed! :LOL: I figured it out before launching. We...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Yeah, could have been a squirrel. But, it sure is close to the post! LOL! :LOL:

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Apparently, a bird sat atop this fence post in my driveway recently and took a poop, dropping a sunflower seed down, which took root and bloomed. We let it grow and now it's fully flowered. Neat-o. (took the pic this morning.) :cool:

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I found a couple pix from 2014 showing how much the birds love a good water feature. This feature was set up in our front tree island. It eventually rusted through and was trashed. :sneaky: Renovating that tree island has been a major project over the winter and is still ongoing. My wife...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I learned that they're very particular about their housing requirements. They want the bluebird house mounted 6 to 8 feet above the ground, facing southeast. And they prefer that it look over a field or open ground. They also need water nearby and we keep plenty of water dishes out front. So...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    A pic I took late this morning on a windy, rainy day through a rainy window some 70 feet away, of the male Eastern Bluebird on his favorite limb overlooking "His Domain." He and his lady are nesting in our new box at its new location, planted per bluebird specs. :D

    Been a little cold.

    Took my boat over to my neighbor's house a couple days ago so that he could help me with some wiring under the dash. It was a beautiful Spring evening with blue skies, greening grass and blooms on trees. But, we're having a cold front moving through today and temps will drop down into the 30s...
