North West BS Thread

Just got home. Dang. What else did he say?

 

Wow. I wonder if Kate Brown is going to follow. Haven't read/watched the news in three days. Guess we will see. Time for my Monday dose of reality when I get to work tonight.

 

I had my suspicion it was going to get extended but didn't know for how long. Read that FDA approved the 5 min test kits. Hopefully they will start mass producing the kits and testing everybody so that those that are negative can get to work.

 

Nothing else really...just more political rock polishing. His speech was much better this time around, but he still just wax about folks doing great, and how we to stay focused...etc.

 

Well, what's new today with you guys?

My city just authorized the fuzz to issue misdemeanor citations for "knowingly violate the lawful order of a public officer in direct response to a declared emergency or disaster". This should be fun.

Today is officially a good day to wear masks when out in public. Didn't make sense two months ago, or a month ago. But today, it's smart. You can't make this chit up...

 

Doing alright. Took mower tire to Schwab's to get air and make sure not a flat. Then mowed. No rain here. About to cook up a rib eye.

 

How’s everyone’s weekend going? Staying occupied?

 

I’m restless, having to work out of the home, and care for our 1.5 year old at the same time during the week has really unmotivated me for house projects on the weekend.

 

just got to work.

hurry the up Monday morning!!

 

Played with dads new toy. Removing rock and digging out in front of his garage. Going to pour a driveway soon.

Cool little tractor

 

Got my day in the driveway, which was some good therapy. Looking forward to cleaning up a few things tomorrow and then relaxing.

Hoping to get a drive in, but we shall see. Weather is supposed to be nice for most of the week so I’ll get out at some point.

 

We are trying too. Working out is helping. May go hiking today pending weather. Started my prep for “Murph” in May. Just wanted to move today and get a steady pace. Nothing more rewarding that completing this workout!

 

Hey guys I got a lot of back reading to do. I have been in Hawaii for the last month, hope you are doing well. It is a ghost town here.

Cheers

 

My company is offering paid leave of absences. I was informed my 4 month leave was approved. Time to plan a trip!

I’m going to grow a beard and walk the earth like Kwai Chang Caine

Hell yeah. Shut the front door, fuel the truck and go!

 

Another hike today to get the little one out.

 

Rotating shift guy here.. my weekend to work nights, then I'll get another block of time off.

 

Our Sunday FaceDrinking went into overtime yesterday, so I had to wait to get a drive in until today. Truck was covered in tree sperm...nasty crap. Did a 65 mile loop this afternoon. It was gorgeous outside and hardly any traffic.

Schools closed for the rest of the year, with online learning only. My son was bummed because one of his classes they were just getting to the point where they could use the CNC machines they'd been preparing for all year. That would suck. My daughter is not happy for the social aspect...

Hope you all are staying safe and healthy. I'm off to stare at Google maps and plan my next afternoon cruise. I love driving new roads and taking alternate routes, but these trips need to be limited so they can be no-stop sojourns.

 

Brush mowed salal and misc crap for a couple hours on Sunday, and mowed and edged the lawn (12k sq ft) today. Made Chili for dinner. I think the tree ‘sperm’ got to me tho. The old allergies are reviving.

 

Good afternoon degenerates! Hope all are enjoying this nice spring weather. Stuck at work for another 4 hours.

 

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Life is going well this week. The wife and I are going shopping here pretty soon. Hopefully both grocery store and costco, if the timing works out.

Got my oil order from Amazon a few weeks early. I might just change it this weekend to keep me busy...Waiting for USPS to deliver a few new stickers too...

 

Christmas in April...waiting on my TRD skid plate arriving today.

 

Taking some vacation before I lose it and taking advantage of these nice days. Dipped the grill/bumpers and today just finished washing the travel trailer. I need a beer to think about waxing the tt. maybe tomorrow.

 

I am taking Thursday and Friday off next week. Hoping to get some stuff done around the house, maybe get my bed rack put together. This work and then home and nothing else is dragging on me. Think I'll take the dogs to the river sometime this weekend to curb the cabin fever.

 

Just got back from the store and Costco. Kind of interesting to see who was wearing masks and who skipped it. Seems like the asswads not wearing masks didn't care about personal space. I was ready to rant on someone, but it all worked out. Both stores are still out of all the stuff you'd expect.

Take it easy everyone!

 

mowing this place takes most of a day, but when it’s done it’s like living in a private park

 

Yesterday, built and put out a bunch of nesting boxes for the swallows that have been showing up...

 

Finally caved to my kiddos. Turned half of my 4 wheeler/ firewood shelter into a chicken coop, still more to do but it's getting there. Repurposed some old barn wood t&g and found this door leaning against my in-law's Willys jeep

 

I don't even need to build any nesting boxes. I almost can't keep them from making their own nests in the areas that the eves meet the valleys of my roof.

 

Looks great!
