What did YOU do today?

[scotts90ranger]

Success! Yesterday I set the gopher trap wrong and it tripped it so would likely be spooked seeing the trap again, today I paid more attention with the 20ga ready and I got the thing! It started moving away from the shop probably because of the trap... still 3' from the shop so not my favorite thought but was fine.

Last night the wife apparently washed her hair which I'm guessing uses some type of industrial lubricant, normally I can control myself in the shower but not last night, I fell, broke the bottom shelf of the shower organizer thing and my foot ended up in the metal shelf/hamper thing which skinned my big toe a little... decided not to go out looking for deer at dawn since I was still sore...

Oh and we picked like 100 pounds of apples so far, will probably leave most of the rest for friends and such...

It's the damn hair conditioner they use. I've about broke my neck a couple times myself.

Holy cow, if that’s what happens when she uses shampoo, what happens when she wears a little perfume? You’ve got it bad…

@Peter_'86_2.9L_Auto came over with his truck and I showed him how to change the oil. In exchange he’s helping me with some heavy stuff I have to do around here. So we went around the corner of the house, and there was some insulation laying on the ground, and I looked up and saw where this squirrel got into the house.

It never ends…

The fall maintenance got done on the Escape. Everything was good except for an HID head light being out and it being time to changed the engine air filter. Luckily, Advance has a Purolator One filter on sale for $7. So I need to pick up one of those tomorrow.

The HID bulb, that is not going to be a fun job. I watched a few videos on it. So, thankfully, I won't need to disassemble the front end to do it. I just need a magnetic tip to remove the screws and amazon has some for around $25 - $30, as opposed to the $55 on Rock Auto and $140 at Amazon and O'Reilly's. Same brand for all of them.

It never ends…

It never ends, in this instance I don't recommend a shotgun but a pellet gun would suffice...

Yeah, she's said it's when she conditions her hair... still sore but managed today better than I'd feared

After I got the gopher, the cat found it all happy and drug it off to snack on... he's a fancy pants and doesn't like getting his toes wet... that's my guess for why he didn't go after it...

While I was waiting on the gopher I was working on a shelf to put between the pencil sharpener and fire extinguisher on the post by the man door for beverages and phone so I don't have to search for a flat spot when I'm hunting something in the walnut tree or whatever comes up there... just a simple 6"x8" piece cut out of the top of a 55 gallon drum with a bend on the last inch, gives like 4" past the fire extinguisher. Was a dumb quick project I could do while watching for activity... and avoiding cleaning

I worked up in Redding this weekend. After work I took a walk along the Sacramento River and over the Sundial Bridge.

Got mom's camper listed on marketplace finally. Too big for me alone. Not right for my sister's family. Mom isn't going to take it out by herself. Should have done it weeks ago, but been procrastinating. Hopefully it'll find a buyer soon so it doesn't go to waste.

Got the ATV reassembled with as much as is going to be done for now. Was adding a winch and wanted to add backup and some other aux lights, only the winch got completed. Need to take another look at the winch wiring because something is off. I added a third party wireless winch remote kit. Apparently I pulled the power for the remote from the wrong place because it still operates the winch when it should be turned off. It'll do for now. I'll just open the circuit breaker so that it can't drain the battery while sitting. I'll take another look at that and lighting after the season is over.

Got trailer hooked to truck and ATV loaded. Tomorrow is a federal holiday so I'm off work. If I can get up and moving in the morning I'll take it out to the hunting club and do some trail maintenance before the season starts next weekend. Dad's ATV is down there now and has decided it doesn't want to run, so I'll use that new winch and get it loaded on the trailer to bring back.

Yesterday was rainy and I needed a break because I’ve been pushing too hard trying to do things, so I finally got everything done that I wanted to do to the one video I’ve been working on and got it rendered… 3 hours, 23 minutes and 2 seconds to render. Now I have to review it and make sure it’s good or I have to tweak it and render again (hopefully I don’t have to).
