OSUT 260: Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

[DoggyDaddy]

I was wondering why I've fallen behind the past couple of years, moreso than in the past. Then it occurred to me. I'm a LOT busier with work now than I used to be. There were times when I might go a week or two with really nothing to speak of to do at work (working from home), so I had time to get out and cut the grass, pull weeds, whatever while I was "working". Now it seems I just don't have any real downtime, and by the time I'm done with work, I don't have the energy or motivation to do stuff, even though I've basically been sitting on my butt all day. The mental stuff can be just as draining as the physical.

Going to get myself cleaned up before wife gets home. Loaded fridge with beer and need to start loundry. HAGN

Yeah, the guy I was talking with at Lawn Pride yesterday is my age (well, almost exactly one year younger - he turns 64 in December and I turn 65) and he and I have that in common. We hate to pay someone to do what we are capable of doing, but like he said, it might cost him a week of pain and a trip to the chiropractor.

You got it. And I get it.

You think I could not handle replacing 6 old worn out, hardly functioning GFCIs in our "new" home after we moved in?
I felt it had to be done. They don't "click" for no reason and often the reason is they are worn the F out.

I could or I could have taught my son, who has ZERO interest in ever touching any cables. Oh, well.

Reality, I paid a working man a day wage and he did the bending in a couple of hours.
Safe wiring, all done.

I get it.

what happened?!

I'll worry about the fence lines later.

Walmarts down here still has guns and ammo.

...but I always wonder for how much longer?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy Brandon. That reminds me, I need to ask the Lawn Pride guy if I need to wait to mow for a day or two after they treat the yard. Hoping to mow Sunday.

Our Walmart has ammo

I like going to see the family, but the drive wipes me out for a whole day afterward.

 

[BeDome]

Our Walmart has ammo

Same, but mostly .22, bird shot shells and 9mm.

But their token effort is welcome.

 

[target64]

Good day people. Ham and beans, fried potatoes and corn bread is on the menu tonight.

Force yourself to get up and do after butt sitting work. You'll feel better for it. It's tough, I know. For me too.

Ours do too, but I haven't looked back there for a long time, mostly because I don't need any.

That's what my weekends and days off are for. When I finish at 4 p.m. and go to bed by 7:30 or 8:00, that doesn't leave a lot of relaxation time. Doesn't help that I'm a "morning person" and have never been one to start projects in the late afternoon or evening. Used to drive me crazy when Susan was still able, because she's an afternoon/evening person and she would always want to start projects at about the time I was winding down for the day.

Sitting on the porch with Barb watching the twittering horde suck up sugar water. Chirp and slurp time as we call it.

Bush hogged for an hour today while Barb was off with a friend getting a mani-pedi. Just enough breeze tonight to make seeing squirrels in the trees tough.

 

[Magyars]

Loaded baked potatoes for dinner!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Evenin' Magyars.
