What did you accomplish today?

tangerinegreen555 · Jan 19, 2018

I accomplished catching up on over 50 pages of my favorite thread. You guys sure do a lot without me.

Then I walked out to the shed I hadn't been in for 4 days.

Power kicked off for a second a few days ago. Totally forgot it would kill shed heater.

33° and 2 frozen waters in there. Turned heater back on, set for 60°

I'll wander back out later to see if it's warm yet.

So, I was doing a few dabs before the last big snow and I had this brilliant idea to lay out a 12x20 tarp.

Then, after it snows, pull the tarp back and have a 12x20 grassy spot for the dogs to poop on grass, their preferred pooping venue.

And this was a brilliant idea. For a couple inches of snow. A foot of snow over a 12x20 area weighs...guess what?
3600 lbs.

So I somehow managed to pull almost half of that back before I got bogged down.

Then it snowed again anyway on the bare spot.

Back to the drawing board on this idea.

After the thaw, I think I'll try a few smaller tarps that I can handle easier. I'm just trying to help out my dogs. They licked me alot for my effort.

Thats some hard work for the dogs comfort. They are fortunate to have you as a pet.

They need a roof over their bathroom. A nice fire hydrant and a bench for you to smoke at, one of those nice outside gas heaters with a remote ignition and bob's your uncle. If you need any other projects to keep you busy feel free to ask

I have been in a spot similar to that.

Once upon a time someone named EX changed all of the locks to MY house.

At that point I had several choices. The most expedient choices
were to use the left key,

or the right key.

Since I'm right handed I used the right key and sure enough it granted me entrance,
much to the surprise of the folks sitting in the living room. :shock:

Did you insulate them so you won't have to do it again?

We have extra insulation we plan to put in the walls. Just have to make that 45 mile run into town again tomorrow to buy staples. We live in the boonies out here. The weather is on now and they predicted normal 'cool' temperatures for the next week. means sleeping in T-shirts and shorts again.

You have no clue how funny we just laughed at that Annie.....I'm actually really good at picking locks ...idk why but as a kid I'd steal my moms and my sis bobby pins and bend em up to defeat locks ....so lil Inda is actually trying to learn on my gun box ...LOL

That's what sucks ....I keep a spare but I used it Christmas Day and it's still on my piano ....SMH

Swear to God I sat on the porch and watched videos on wifi waiting for momma to bring Keyes and my sis in law to drop off lil Inda ....lol

That was my only comfort ....my porch and WIFI

Indacouch · Jan 19, 2018

Lil Inda is home safe ....and I didn't pick my front door because I only had a 15 min wait for Keyes ....

It would be my luck that a burglar would use "that rock" to open my windows.

Uhmm, I live in the North & sleep in the "Raw" nightly (check my surveillance footage for confirmation).

People still sleep in clothes?
