Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So, what did you get done today as a "shutin"?

Nothing's changed work wise, my concrete jobs don't require me to be around people much already. Had to work this morning on the backhoe demo'ing a block wall and loading in the dump trailer. Thought this would slow work but it hasn't, still booked 2 months out.

That knife looks like an old Henckels I have.

Watching grandson Jack this afternoon.

Still working (not too hard) on the bathroom remodel from hell.

My wife "understates" things. We had an under-sink leak that ruined the wood laminate floor. That was the only thing that really needed doing.

IMO!

The only thing that survivd the "reflooring" was the tub (left in place, but surround changed) and the toilet, now residing in the basement until re-install.

Even had to rip out one wall to replace the bathtub-shower mixer, as she wanted a differnt color of controls and spout, an they are not the same as the 30 year old stuff. With the bathtub drain coverand spout - those are easily replaced on the old stuff.

I keep telling myself that's a plus...... over and over agian....

I'm gonna touch up an old Oneida bow's paint and mod a quiver bracket.
In between beers of course.
Rain coming in a couple hrs.

Damn, I slept 13 hours!

Cast 13 lbs (app 425) 200 grain bullets for my 358 winchester!

Got the mowing finished up, and put another 5-6 supers on the hives. Now off to the pond to do a little fishing.

Today-Cleaned/detailed my airplane, cleaned the hangar floor and collected 32 gallons of maple sap from the woods.

Yesterday - changed oil in the airplane, my truck and my wife’s car, evaporated off my sap for about 1/2 gallon syrup.

Tomorrow - going flying and evap more sap.

Replacing “all” of the blinds in the house......I’d rather be digg’n ditches! memtb

Loading another 100 carbine cases..Grandson thinks its a.22

Been airing out great numbers of Belding's Ground squirrels. No one traveling in from surrounding states, so the fields are pretty rich shooting.

Got my .270 Wby on paper with its new scope a Leupold 3.5-10.

Did some reloading for the 338-06 and 257R yesterday.

Mowed grass today, just got off the tractor.

Posted here.

And, the day isn't over.

Didn't get up early.

My son's here, watching LSU beat Alabama one more time...

Yesterday I only cut up about a half cord of wood. Wife's gonna split it this week to let it dry.

Today I cleaned out the dryer exhaust pipe. It's a jacked up thing, only took a couple of hours.

Then had to run out to property to open ditches, here in midwest (Michigan) we got alot of rain and water was flowing over the road
. Got water moving in the direction its supposed to.

On the road out of property, I'm doing about 10mph and my daughter started yelling that she seen an antler. Sure as [bleep], she found the right side of a 4point drop. How? I have no idea.

Good times

Finished forming, trimming and neck turning 500 pieces of 20 Vartarg Brass from new Lake City 5.56 brass for a Prairie Dog hunt that may or may not be happening at this point in June. Good quarantine work.

went out back and shot 250 rounds of golden bullets out of my colt (walther) 1911. that thing needs a trigger job and i need new glasses. but i could kill a skunk at 50 feet if i had to.

Just got finished cleaning the mud room and two of the bathrooms. Anybody have any tricks on how to get mildew out of the caulk seam on the shower door. Not bad enough to tear it out and re-caulk but still looks unsightly.

P.S. Also bought an old caplock shotgun to rehab into something usable.

Reloading .223. I'm saving the 30-06 for another day. I'm pretty sure there will be another day of setting at home. Yep. .223 today.

I gained a sawtooth ridge-line that I’ve been wanting to get up on for a long time. Moved along its entirety.
