What did you accomplish today?

Some years back a part of my fence blew down. I replaced all the wooden posts that broke with the metal postmaster posts. They cost around $30 a piece but I'll never have to replace them.

This isn't my fence just a picture I found online. I'm too lazy to go out in the rain and take a picture.

I contemplated those, but I think these pressure treated 4X4's will probably outlast me anyway. If I would have used those instead of cedar it would probably be standing still.

Politics with a neighbor.

Why does your garage smell like weed?

Subtle voice, "I smoke".


Oh you do? I got you something. It's not for sale so no need to ask.

(Whatever he's smoking, I know isn't the high grade I gave him)

I wanna see this guy after he tokes off the couple nugs I gave him...Lolololol. Peace Brother.

During Covid times how did he get close enough to your garage to smell that? Now that you've given him good weed how do you get rid of him?

Dude! You look adorable, I love those outfits. I've seen similar outfits elsewhere... You guys should work up an ice water rescue song and dance routine to put the people you rescue at ease, kinda like this -




♫ What do you get when you play on the ice?
Danger, but guys who rescue you, who are nice ♫

Or something like that. I'm just spitballin' here ;)
Film the rescue training and sound track it with this:

Those vertical boards are too close together.

I don't live in California.


I got close to his garage by walking over there. My generosity was previously paid back before I gave him a gift.

As for getting rid of him. He's not a punk. He doesn't beg. Not the person to call a punk either.

In your first version it was not clear who walked into whose space. Your last sentence is unclear as well. I really wouldn't risk my life to hand out free samples but you may live where there is no Covid. What planet would that be? I'm curious.

ANYWAY, got 24 boards pulled of the fence sections, 2 sections left to do. Had a hell of a time finding where the old post was put in the ground, the dirt kinda caved in on it. Ran a line and dug out another post hole about a foot closer to the standing post. Burned up some scrap wood in what is left of my fire pit, it was a nice warm place to take breaks between unscrewing boards. Sun was out most of the afternoon though. I think this old man needs to take a day off tomorrow, but another storm is supposed to come in Mon. :( Perhaps I can suck it up and get the post in at least. Buds and suds time, Taqueria burritos for dinner. Stick a fork in me.

How did you hold up during the storm?

Not too bad, lost power for a whole day and then intermittent until yesterday. Creek didn't flow but only got 4.5 in instead of 7. The wind was brutal, 25-30 with 60+mph gusts. Lots of fallen and ruined trees. I'm going to have to drop my last Monterey Pine I planted 35 yr ago; it lost some major branches and with pine blister it won't survive in the long run. It's about 70 ft tall and I'm trying to figger out how I can drop it myself lol

Can you drop it in sections? I think this is why arborists invest in trucks with lifty things.
