What are you doing today?

[EastTexFrank]

Got up late and drank coffee while watching the Olympics. Went outside and mowed part of the yard. Took a cool off break, it was 105° today, and watched more Olympics. Went back outside and finished the mowing except for the back 40 which I'll do tomorrow, maybe. It's supposed to be 105 again and I've got a lot of running around to do.

This evening, sat around with my wife and watched TV. You guessed it, more Olympics. She's going to be glued to that screen for the next couple of weeks.

Going to get on mowing today myself. We have had just enough rain to make it take off. There goes another $35 in gas! Crazy prices have jumped 26 cents since the beginning of July.

Going for my first bike ride since damn near cutting the end of my thumb off. I am suppose to wait 12 days, close enough. Im going nuts.

If I have to take the dressing off again I will. Stupidest thing I have done since I was 11 probably. Maybe ever. Thank goodness my chainsaw was put up.

How much are you mowing where you use 10 gallons of gas? I think I could do about 20 acres on my ZTR for that amount...

I am mowing about 2-3 acres. That amount of gas will do it 4-5 times. It just pisses me off to spend more for mower gas than I can put in the Prius!

 

[mak2]

Mount a blade on that Prius, then you could mow anytime day or night and not keep anyone awake. I cant hear those dang Prius coming up behind me when I am on my bike.

 

[muleman]

Not enough ground clearance to mow. You should have mirrors on your bike anyway!

 

[mak2]

I do have a mirror and look in it about a 1000 times a ride, but hearing is a big part of safety, too. I got an idea put a lift kit on your prius about a foot, just think, kick back, crank up the stereo, turn on hte AC and mow the whole yard on a gallon of gas. I wonder if it could stripe.

 

[luvs]

i'm pounding the pavement. on the way i'm lookin' for a prius to kick, so i can see it tip over. after i siphon it. i need a nap, tho.
cookin', cleaning, then maybe blake-time.

 

[pirate_girl]

Went to the dentist.
Babysat for my little niece for an hour.
.. and my usual daily routine.

 

[Smoochy]

Nothing going on tonight since I'm at work.


Tomorrow I may go to Starbucks and just relax with my laptop. I normally don't live a very exciting life.

 

[bczoom]

Smoochy - what do you do for a living (since you're still at work)?

Yea, my life isn't exciting either but I just hang out in "the back 40". There isn't a Starbucks (or most anything beyond a grocery and lumber yard) within many miles.

Actually, I might try to catch up on some sleep tomorrow. I've been wore out the last few days.

 

[luvs]

[muleman]

Watching the fog lift slowly out of the valley. Got some real good rain yesterday so outside work will be limited. Glad I got the mowing done before the rain came. Might do a little grading on the lane since the puddles show where any potholes are starting to form.

 

[Smoochy]

Slept in. Probably just going to make some coffee and relax all day.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

PAID THE CAR OFF, THAT'S WHAT I DID TODAY!!!

 

[muleman]

Good! Where are you taking me for lunch???

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

You can have ONE item from the Dollar Menu, cuz that's all I got left

 

[pirate_girl]

Taking it easy.
Don't have anything pressing to do.
Today is all mine.

 

[muleman]

Been out weed whacking behind the barn. 83F already so that might be it for outside work. Need to check the lane since the wife said it washed a little during the storms.

 

[tiredretired]

Getting ready for the grandchildren. Going to be staying a week. Please pray for us.

Good feeling, eh? Congrats.

Thanks, dude, it's a great feeling. And as I have already replaced so much stuff in the past year, things can only get better as the mileage climbs Sitting at 113K right now, hell, she's still a baby.

Better take some of that first payment savings and buy an extra bumper while you can!

I've put a total of 1/2 million miles on my last three Ford Rangers. The last one I have 166K and, knock on wood, running like a top. I just had to replace the original battery. I never had to replace the battery in my two previous trucks before. LOL.

Moral of the story. Plenty of life left in that Ford Tortoise.
