What Are You Doing Today? Post A Pic (if you can)

[steve urquell]

I am on a FB Cub Cadet 3000 series forum and posted that Pic of mine with the bucket load of dirt last weekend. Someone posted up this AI model rendering of it tonight lol.

I'm setting up a new computer today. Not a lot of fun for us non computer technological old guys.

My old laptop has been on its last legs for about five years, with the cooling fan making strange noises (my uncle thought it sounded like goats over the phone).

Since it still worked, I kept using it (cheap). Last week the dog knocked it over and all of a sudden, the battery and charging system started acting up. Yesterday the battery went form fully charged to dead flat, "I won't even turn on" in about twenty minutes.

Of course I couldn't remember my email password, so I had to create another account. Now comes contacting each business and changing my contact info.

Life was definitely simpler when we used pen and paper to communicate, but then we didn't have the vast knowledge base we have here at castboolits, either.

If you open your web browser and look in the settings menu you will find a link to your online passwords for each website you have them saved on and can view them

That would help if I had ever saved passwords on the computer. Somehow Google was sending info to an email address that was three internet providers ago.

I worked up some 9mm loads for my AR15 9mm. Pretty good for a 5"bbl pistol at 100YDS.



The deer were 50ft left of my range and clearly were not worried.



I repainted a couple target swingers and placed the double one at 75yds. Smacked it several times with the AR 9mm.




I'm about to see if I can shoot an armadillo or 2 in the fields. Wish me luck.

VERY successful poaching trip today....bwahaha.

In the world of old "arn",which is classic American cast iron wood/metal equipment. If you cross state lines,and snake a deal out from under any locals...it's colloquially referred to as "poaching"...think crossing fences to snag a trophy. Welp,I scored a mid century Wysong & Miles 316 edge sander.... BOOM!

Previous owner took it to bare metal,did a fantastic job of not only paint,but a bunch of machine work to get it about 95% complete. He hit a bit of a wall when trying to get the main drum recovered with rubber. He had some top shelf folks donating labor and parts.. but was faced with a HUGE $$$ for the recovering. I've been recovering rollers for years... so it's a no-brainer here. Otherwise this edge sander is done. Came with a wheelbarrow worth of spare bits N pieces.

There's some other goodness about the deal,the money I gave him will be donated to the OWWM site.

Nothing shooting related, unfortunately.

I did go to my cousin's, to pick up some stuff that she had previously given to me. A Lazy Boy recliner and a Husqvarna chainsaw that hasn't ran since her husband passed seven years ago. She also gave me a pellet grill/smoker for my birthday and cooked a decent meal of fried chicken like my mom and grandma used to do.

Overall, a very good day.

Dump the gas in the Husky and put in fresh and it may fire up. Fried chicken, heck yeah!

I piddled around the garage all day. Just shot a 2ft copperhead by my woodpile after walking my fields hunting armadillos. No luck on the dillos.

[Mk42gunner]

That's the plan. I dumped the brown gas and left the tank open in the back of the truck on the way home.

Fresh mixed gas tomorrow. I did make sure it wasn't locked up.

I also went and visited Mom this morning, she wished me a happy birthday, which made me feel very good.
