We are having a good one here around the farm....I woke up late, drank a cup of coffee and got into my workout.. 3 mile walk, exercise ball, some weights and a cool down. Finished that off and ate some eggs and had a time of prayer/reflection/reading. Headed outside and checked the corn field drainage and walked around with my camera and took some pics of the corn, flowers, gardens and my wife's project which is an old cellar house.

Cleaned up and ate a big salad for lunch and headed downstairs . I cleaned a few guns and reorganized my workbench. Currently I am looking at a few things on the auction side and listening to songs from 1971....

A good day for me :D .....How is yours going ??

    :D
    first my wife is scared of snakes , she will not harm one but does not like being caught off guard by one
    once captive she is Ok with them
    she has a small maybe five or six foot decorator pond she built some time ago , any yay even seeing a guarder snake is rare maybe once a year in our yard . she came in earlier all excited ( scared ) come here fast there is a poisonous snake in my pond she saw it while cleaning it out , (, it was home to countless tadpoles several weeks ago so she left it alone )
    so I follow her out and with my cataracts ( about to be removed ) I had a hard time seeing it but with a dip net I finely got it
    its about 8 to 10 inches long and when all you see 99% of the time is a guarder snake it does look out of place
    from best I can tell its just a water / river snake but it does resemble other not so friendly snakes
    she is now worried its mom is just wating on her I told her with all the rain it may have made its way here or a bird had carried it in
    plans later on to drop it off at the river about a mile or so away
    but it made her day :shock: :shock: :o:o

    Hiked 4 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Two miles down, 1600? elevation change. Two miles back up, 1600?. My eye lids were sweating. Found some wild red raspberries and picked about a pint. Met a fella about 70 from Utah who was slack packing.
    Now I get to give a Golden Retriever a bath.

    Yesterday was mowing day and I had 6 hours of fun in the hot Texas sun, but last night I relaxed and enjoyed a Music & Merlot session with our surround system and watched/listened to Leonard Cohen ? Live in London, a 2 1/2 hour concert (DVD).

    So, today is a day of just relaxing around the house; although I did get up a little earlier than I wanted to because we had Communion Preparation at our Church this morning.

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    Meanwhile, in my little corner of the world . I got up this morning , loaded the tools in my sons truck and went to town to fix and rescue my truck . The starter crapped out at a store in town . I had stopped for a drink on the way to a funeral for an old friend . Spent about an hour laying on my back in a parking lot putting on a new starter . Came home and spent the next 2&1/ hours on he lawnmower cutting grass . Don?t know what is in store for the rest of the day just yet

    Spent 5:30 to 8AM on the computer doing work stuff and employee management tasks. Spent the next 9 hours replacing rot damaged poles in Mother-in -law's pole barn. Put away all the stuff it took to do that job. Did the normal daily chores, Showered and here I am. Have another hour of time sheet work after 9PM and I'm done for the day.

    Better than anticipated. The one yard sale I decided to check out had good results. Decent size bolt bin loaded with smaller grade 8 hardware. Several wood chisels (that I will try not to plunge into the palm of my left hand this time around) and rasps, mini pick and hook set, a nice set of Torx bits, drill bits, a NIB Garmin Nuvi 205W GPS, new grease gun, and two new sets of allen wrenches. $15 OTD for all of it. No gun stuff, unfortunately.
    An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

    Saturday went pretty good. We're doing a kitchen remodel and I got started setting tile for new countertops. These tiles are 2'x4' so I have to take my time and quadruple check every measurement and mark. If you screw up a cut on a 12"x12" it's no big deal, just grab another one. If I screw something up on one of these tiles though I've just screwed up 8 sq. ft. of tile (at 6.98/ft!) Yikes! Gonna make two more easy cuts today and then get out the thinset mortar and start stickin' 'em down.

    My house has ceramic tile counter tops Neo. They are the 12 x 12 square type. I liked them when I bought the place but the first time I took a stack of frozen hamburger patties and conked them on the counter to separate.... Sheeeeit! I cracked the tile!

    In four years, the counters have a lot more cracked tiles from doing even less stress to them than the burger incident! I have thought about replacing them and will surely do that one day, but until then, think more like just keep on breaking them up into a kind of jigsaw puzzle thing...Italian mosaic! :lol:

    I thought marble countertops were the "in" thing.

    They are in every new constructed house or remodeled house I've seen in the past couple of years. NO ONE uses tile counter tops 'round these parts, and most folks are replacing them with marble or faux marble.

    Swing motor on my excavator started dumping fluid everywhere and a back tire on my tractor was flat and won't hold air. Today has been fantastic. :evil:

    If your tiles are breaking that easy then I don't think they were put in correctly.
