I need groceries too...We need a "what did you HOPE to accomplish today" thread. The refridge needs cleaning first too :(

I haven't even had lunch (or breakfast) and it's after 2 pm.
Amen, I could live in that thread. The tile is cleaned, the new grout dried, pool topped off and new solar blanket laying over it. I'm trying to decide if I want to bask in the spa tonight. Chances are I'll be sound asleep, LOL

Got my new tent delivered today and set ready with the air mattress in 10 minutes.
i LOVE it!!! REI continues to impress with their stealth engineering and design concepts.
I am breaking her in sweetly with trips planned at Carmel by the Sea, Malibu and Yosemite this month then who knows , this could definitely be a new home.The world is changing so quickly.
I have 4 job negotiations in works right now but anything can happen . Things have really changed in my field.suddenly I am in seriously high demand right now. California is in desperate need for my skills. Even though I want to get out of the field, it might not be the best time considering I have made it this far and the offers and pay are quite enticing. Plus I am here now, why leave so soon?

Took today off " ". I was feeling it after helping install the cabinets yesterday. Cut a piece of OSB and plywood to use as temporary countertops and installed the shelves. The doors can wait for another day.
You are making progress!!

What kind of countertops are you doing?

I have never done anything besides good ol' laminate myself...and they make some awesome looking laminate these days.

I would like to build new ones...I have post form laminate counters now, and they are in ok condition....but some new ones would pop!

I'm like you...a good project and it takes a day or 3 to recover!!

I made a copper counter top for the guest bath in my old home. Everyone really enjoyed it. I built the cab out of reclaimed redwood posts from old hwy 24, fun project.IMG_20191002_075019.jpgIMG_20191002_074926.jpg

I would of been shot all week , that's real work ! I work outdoors till dark , but home projects like that are very tedious for me....hate it. I'd rather dig a 9ft hole. I'm a real whore, I just hired an old stoner dude friend of mine for a " handyman " . He's stoned but he's real good. There are certain skills I'm lacking , I'm no " Tim the Tool Man Taylor ".

I have a MSR Hubba Hubba. I almost bought one of these last year, and now I'm regretting not pulling the trigger. I was going to get the half insert and use it as a general shelter more than a camping tent. I have a Hyperlite backpack that's really nice.

There isn't really anywhere to camp in Carmel, but if you go south to Big Sur, there are some amazing places. Carmel By The Sea is just full of rich assholes. You could also head a bit north towards Santa Cruz, and camp at New Brighton State Park, on the cliffs right above the beach. You wouldn't be disappointed there.

There use to be some awesome free Federal Campround in CA too. Don't know how they are now. Places with almost nothing there to appease the softies.

I saw the biggest trout of my life at one. I think you guys are talking about a little further south though.

Yeah, I really like the rural National Forest Campgrounds. It's been a while since I went camping with the family, we have too many pets to leave home these days (over a dozen chickens, 3 cats, and the dog -- plus we just brought in a feral pregnant cat who had 5 kittens that are now a few weeks old).

Stanislaus River Campground is one of my favorite places in the state to camp at, and it's pretty rural. $12/night, first come first served.

I live in the east where there are no real predators. Do you western people pack guns on camping trips? I take my dog on late night hikes deep into the woods and I usually don't even take a knife. I'm much more worried about weirdo humans than animals. We have black bears, but I'd choke out one of those pussies if it wanted to tango.
