I came home from work six hours early because a sprinkler repair man said he was going to meet me here. In the past 7 hours, he's texted me twice saying he's running late.

That's my exciting event of the day.

Passed up playing golf to go to work and catch up on the 4 contracts on new projects I got in this week.

Then it was nice when I got home so me and the boy went and checked out our neighborhood retention pond on the golf cart to look for wildlife.

Then we went to the park and built a Sandcastle.

I'm going to watch a movie and clean my mk.18 when he goes to bed in a minute.

Definitely have me beat. Yard work, more yard work followed by a healthy side serving of yard work.

Did end up with a cigar and a glass of vino next to the fire pit listening to Frank Sinatra. If anyone ever finds me dead in that
scenario, know that I had a good death.

I was out on old John deer tractor and JD baler trying to bale 40 rows of grass hay.

When the baler broke down I was actually happy, screw working when it's over 90 in the fields I'm too old for that shit.

My plan of sitting on my tractor with my sons prepping the area for my retaining wall was ruined by a bad front wheel bearing on my pickup.

Sat outside and watched a deer for 30 minutes from about 50 yards away. The last 10 minutes there was a cottontail rabbit about 20 yards away. I thought I heard something on the other side of the Rabbit and hoped it was a fox, so I pulled my CCW and went to investigate... I didn't see a fox, but further away I spotted a big groundhog about 80 yards away. I stalked him up to about 20 yards and then he ran into some brush. When I get close to where he was I see him poking his head out from under an old shed. I shot 3 rounds from 20 feet and hit him in the chest 2x and the rear foot once (flopping around after the first 2).

My idiot dog has been eating the plants in the yard and has had diarrhea the last couple of days.
Well today he decided to let loose in the house, thankfully if was on the soapstone and not on the Pergo.
So I spent about an hour cleaning and scrubbing dog diarrhea.

No. Sat on my ass on a beautiful day.

Yesterday I had a bad bout with vertigo, something that has never happened before. Things are considerably better today, but I'm still a little unsteady.

You haven't lived until your 175 Great Dane has explosive diarrhea in the house.

Or 81 year old dad!

I had to take some meds (don't recall what kind) a few years ago for that. It sucks!

I moved these from one storage unit to another, along with a bunch of other things. Somehow, a knob broke off the 5150 despite having nothing sitting on top of it. Maybe a rock from a passing vehicle?

I should be a roadie. At least a roadie would get more sex than I do.

Took my son and father in law to the range.

We shot the AR, FN2000, G21, LCP and another Ruger. About 1k rounds in all.

Took them to lunch then got my hair cut so I can spend a sexy time three day vacation with the wife. It will be the first extended overnight date with her in about 7 years.

All in all, a pretty good day.

House shopping. Super depressed because the house I want is >just< out of our budget and the current offerings are complete shit.

Walked down to the beach. Was going to yell at the people that blocked my drive but turned out to be two cute women. They get a pass.

WTF?

Anyway, I went shopping with the wife this morning, and did yard work for most of the rest of the day.

Kids helped me mow the lawn, pressure wash the pool deck, pull weeds in the flower beds, plant some pepper plants, and add chemicals to the pool.

Grilled twice today, played catch with my son after supper, and brought in the evening by shooting bottle rockets at a raccoon.

Not a bad day.

Spent the first part of the day at church, then later spent time with my son, daughter, and son-in-law. Now I'm watching NCIS, and cruising ARFCOM. There was some discussion of my late wife, which still has me a bit bummed, but otherwise a good day. (Good discussion; just missing her).

I don't know about exciting. But my boy got to play with a M249 and I bought a complete DPMS lower for 149.

A boxerdog with a bowel obstruction will get your attention, too. Puke, with partially digested food, mixed with liquid stool.

Got to work at daybreak and looked for whitetail fawns, did this every two hours in the forty acre area that the pens are in. Watched the radar all day hoping the showers in the area would hit the ranch. I also ear tagged and tattooed the ears of ten whitetal fawns as per Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for a breeding facility.
