I am a champion thumb twiddler.  Works great for my arthritis!   ;D ;D ;D ;D 

Seriously, can't wait for open water fishing to start!  In my boat, I can simultaneously have fun, shop for groceries, and practice social distancing!

I have nothing either.

Though I have a teen driver with a permit in the house. If you want to stain yourself come on over and go for a drive with him! During those times of riding along, I kind of wish I had nothing to do ;D

Though it breaks up the day ;D

As I have aged, i truly enjoy social distancing. I always thought i would enjoy being around people. I now am understanding why as i was you old people seemed so crabby. I now have started my quest of being that old crabby guy.

Outside that, i get into remote control vehicles mainly the trucks. I do like a round of golf on a nice sunny day. Not very good but it is fun ;D

For at least 35 years, my brother and his wife have been carrying on a private war, using identical tv remote controls.  That could be a lot of fun for a guy to try, if his wife's batteries mysteriously go missing.   ;)

Got out and about today. Went to the dump, essiantal task since we still generate garbage and more of it while everyone is home! Had the son drive me around and outside the grocery store no one really out.

Now much of nothing again. Couple of movies on tonight and maybe a workout but I have basically nothing >:(

Been doing a fair amount of wood cutting, splitting (with a maul), stacking for an elderly guy who let's my boys bowhunt at his place. Re-started my jogging routine. Home auto repair is next. Teach my kids some basics. I've got new shocks and struts for my car waiting in the garage. Valve cover gaskets and rear main seal, and headliner for my 79 stepside truck.

Havent started with anything around the home. I actually am trying to hide from my family so I can do things ;D ;D

Taxes, house cleaning, fart fan in the bathroom, general up keep needs to be done!

Though my truck is cleaned to the hilt, garage is spotless and I mean better than alot of houses. Remote co trol trucks are in top notch shape and been running around ripping up things.

One can see where I put my effort into! ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have watched alot of movies also, that has been done while I work in the garage with the TV on.

My little dog Sophie takes me for long walks...   usually 45 minutes or so.  I don't know how she gets those short little legs to take so many steps, so quickly, for such a long time!  She's about 9 years old and still hasn't slowed down.  Wakes me up every morning and wants to play (me chasing her around the bed, then throughout the house) immediately!  The tough part is keeping her from her regular visits to the neighborhood daycare, since this social distancing started.  She misses the kids...

Nothing better than lower gasoline prices.
Found the Fleet Farm in Delavan was selling it at $.99/gallon.
Amazing, right? This is one essential trip I had to make.
But dang, my 35 gallon pickup truck tank was full of that 2.00+ petrol from a week or so ago.
Got the answer to that though.
That station is about 50 miles from me and at about 16.5 mpg, figured if I tool around the southern half of Wisconsin for about 570 miles before getting to the Fleet Farm in Delavan I could get a full tank of that fresh $.99 per gallon fuel.
I was in luck as i arrived after 8+ hours of driving around before stopping in there to fill 'er up and it was still sub 1.00/gallon.
Feels great to get a good deal.
Stay safe out there.

Can I assume that since you have watched BCS that you know about Breaking Bad?

Justified
Bosch
The Americans
Hunter Killer

Post by: TomM on March 31, 2020, 04:29:55 PM
Hey smitty71,
Thanks for the reply...
Watched Breaking Bad. I rarely 'rewatch' anything on TV, EXCEPT Law & Order. I am not sure how many times I could watch that series over and over. Must be some kind of comfort 'food' (watching) for me

Like Justified
Liked Bosch
Have not seen The Americans or Hunter Killer.
What is Hunter Killer about? (Sci-Fi?)
Thanks,
Tom
(By the way.. you class of '71 or wrestled 171?)

Hunter Killer is a(nother) sub movie w/ Gerard Butler.  Wrestled 71 years ago, also my FB number. 

Deadwood is OK, but the language is really foul.

It is 16 years old. Have have rotated twice now. 10 years on one side and now 6 on the other side. Though my current side was my partner in crime spot for his years in the house. Once he passed I rotated in honor of him. Of course I am talking about my buddy, digger the bulldog! Plus he was 80 plus pounds so he got a good start on wearing it out ;D

Littleguy, I hear ya' about the recliner issue.  Our little dog Sophie (all of 10 lbs.) could have the middle of our couch, but demands the ends, because she loves to lie on our legs when they are extended.  Funny thing is that she absolutely hates it when we put the tv remote in the middle.  She responds by pawing furiously at it, often changing the channel in the process.

My current dog likes to lay on my lap. He is an overweight 40 plus pounder that in order to get comfortable he has to rut :o

My current guy isnt fussy about were he lays just as long as he has couch space. He likes our rocking chair. Gets that moving and then lays down. I have to video that it is funny ;D

Yes they are. At first I joked that this Corona thing was created by the family pets. I know this covid 19 isnt anything to joke about. After the time has passed my little dude vinny is becoming kind of stressed out. The entire family home all day long is getting his exhausted! Plus the grand kid pestering him on a regular basis is getting him into hiding mode during the day ;D

My little dog Sophie has been taking me for long walks, typically 45 minutes to an hour.  The longest one was 90 minutes!  I can't believe that those little legs can keep going that long!  She's grown tired of the same route after nearly 9 years, but I think the biggest reason for the long walks is that none of the people she likes to visit are outside these days.  So lately, she has been keen on exploring new neighborhoods and natural areas in our community.  Today, we made a special trip to Lyons Park, which features a large deck overlooking the Yellow River.  In a few weeks, maybe we'll bring her fishing pole.

My little dog is a Shi-Tzu, Poodle, Yorkie, Schnauser mix.  She typically weighs about 10 lbs.  Our groomer had surgery in late December, went through a long recovery and physical therapy, then was shut down due to COVID-19 restrictions on groomers.  She is the ONLY person that Sophie will let cut her hair and nails, so our little dog looks like a 30 lb. ball of fluff these days.  Other than her daily hikes, she is starting to just hide under the couch lately.  We are looking forward to her grooming session in about 2 weeks!

Congrats on the new pup, Tom!  What breed is she?  That's great that Winnie will get her first grooming from a gentle groomer.  Sophie's first grooming experience came at the hands of someone who was highly recommended, but it turned out to be very traumatic.  She has been very fearful of grooming ever since.  Fortunately, we found a groomer who is very kind, gentle, and patient with her.  She has been able to gain Sophie's trust so that the job can be accomplished, but it's seldom easy.

Hey!
Winnie belongs to my neighbor.  I just borrow the pup for training and fun.
She's English Cream Retriever... mostly same as a Golden, but color is something like white, cream, beige.

Post by: TomM on May 25, 2020, 04:45:26 PM
Winnie is great!
Was 6 ounces at birth (smallest of litter), now 22lb at 4.5 months of age.
Energetic and smart.
Walking well on leash, learning commands and tricks.
- improving at 'recall' and 'stay' and 'leave it', sit, stand, down, up (to climb stairs etc.), off (to get down from places), waits for 'ok' command before eating food. Working on weaving in and out of legs when I walk, doing a figure eight around my feet, climbs up my stretched out legs to my chest when I'm sitting in chair and say 'up'. Retrieves ball.
Brings newspaper in to house from driveway each morning. Totally house trained at 2 months. Let's you know when she needs to go out to do her 'duty'.
Would be hard to describe a better pup at this point.
Thanks for asking!

That is awesome. My guy doesnt do one of those things and he is 7. Well he is potty trained and can open lever lock doors. Going outside takes energy so usually my guy only goes outside 2 to 3 times a day for duty time other wise he holds it and naps ;D ;D

Glad to hear your having lots of fun with the pup!

My little dog is a Shi-Tzu, Poodle, Yorkie, Schnauser mix.  She typically weighs about 10 lbs.  Our groomer had surgery in late December, went through a long recovery and physical therapy, then was shut down due to COVID-19 restrictions on groomers.  She is the ONLY person that Sophie will let cut her hair and nails, so our little dog looks like a 30 lb. ball of fluff these days.  Other than her daily hikes, she is starting to just hide under the couch lately.  We are looking forward to her grooming session in about 2 weeks!

well how did the grooming turn out?

lucky I got my guy into the groomer for a nail job like the day before the shutdown and loaded up on food. so he only went 2 months before another nail trim. though those nails were starting to look like a tony montana style nails ;D i wish he would run around more to keep those things shorter! it takes 2 ladies to keep in in line for the nail trim, he doesnt like it ;D

It all turned out great, but she was kind of crabby with the groomer.  Feeling much better, just in time for warmer weather.

I'm close to full time during summer. 3 12s comes to 36 hours a week. They don't want me to work over 40; but sometimes I do. I do transports, too.

Dang, you're up early.

;D ;D ;D ;D   Kind of a night owl.

Me too. A night owl with a nest in a jail.

Isn't that your part-time/summer gig?  Or should I be giving you a "hard time" about this?   ;)
I'm close to full time during summer. 3 12s comes to 36 hours a week. They don't want me to work over 40; but sometimes I do. I do transports, too.

Cool!  Beats heck out of my old gig painting barns!

Uff! Guessing that got scary. My worst gig was shoveling up seawead with a ptch fork into a front end loader for a few months. Gets a little rank after being out of water for a few days.

Yep, that would stink!  I spent several summers working for a resort/campground.  Cleaned the big fish cleaning house, public bathrooms & showers.  Some smelly experiences there, too...   especially when some drunk would go #2 in the shower.   ::)

Hey, that sounds like jail!

Cleaning calf pens in the spring as they thaw out. Awful in my book, and I worked I. sewers for w7 years ;D

Calf pens seem  to be a pain all year; but spring must be heck. Frozen pie everywhere. When I was a kid, I alway wanted to be a sewer worker. I knew every inch of S. Mwaukee sewer. Ran around down there all the time. I've since changed my career focus. ;)

Ed Norton, is that you?  ;)

No!
;D ;D ;D ;D  To the moon, Alice!

The big cities sewers both sanitary and storm are kind of cool and fun to be in. Lots of history with those and the amount of traveling through them you can do is amazing!

Best way to travel. The tubes we snuck into were so big, we rode our bikes around trying to hold flashlights. Of course, kids never think "hmm, big tube=much water."  Neat to see how the older parts of town had brick and such.

Yes in the storm sewers a quarter inch of rain could equal 3 feet of water at the end point of those tubes.

The city of Minneapolis has a small boat with a trolling motor for the sanitary sewer or just certain areas. Old brick and built by hand. Dug by hand which is amazing.

The river towns have some really old sewer structures. Man the work it took to build them. I know because to rebuild them is terrible ;D

If we ever get a chance to break brew, I'd love to hear where you even start replacing that kind of stuff.
