Lobster crabs are shit money here and there has been a ban on shrimp for a while now so haven't seen fresh shrimp for years never fished it but could get fresh for 50 cents a lb now if you want local shrimp its over 20 a lb and frozen from years ago or from when they go out to do the count just to slam the ban hammer down

:lol: I read about you losing your finger in another post and was trying to figure out how it happened pulling pots. ..being a MJ site, I was thinking harvesting/moving plant pots.:eyesmoke: Now it makes sense. ...

You don't see many little people out your way, I take it?
;)
NY is full of little people, it seems, heh. (Is that still the preferred vernacular? I know for the longest while 'dwarf' was commonplace...)

Wife had hospital procedure today...situation seemed kinda shaky going in, but she came out couple hrs. later with all good news...
Dropped her off at her sister's last night...just 5 minute ride to hospital instead of 50 minute from our place...she insisted I stay home and take care of dogs...and take food to her horse...knew she was OK before 10AM...then did her routine...dogs and horses...horse stays at a barn 15 minutes away with several others...then brought wife home. Her Dr. says light duty rest of the week.

finished the chimney.. well almost, needs an acid wash and flashing. other than pointing a wall, this is the only masonry ive ever done.. and i did the whole thing. demo'd out the old and built the new one from scratch. all i had was a 6 ton pile of stone, a shit load of sand, lime and portland cement. im actually pretty proud of what i accomplished.

Hand dug ditches to bury rain gutter run off line and run out to road... I remember a teacher once telling me after getting a D in a stupid trigonometry test, 'the world needs ditch diggers too'. Yeah...and some of them made more than you hot shot...

Dry laid front porch with wider steps, with a wall at sides of steps...then tore it done and seriously began putting it in...not done but you can see the wider steps...Guy walking his dog stops and says, 'make sure you pack that shit down real good...good luck!' Sounded like he had trouble in the past...Lol.

that's a fabulous old chimney @srh88
looks like a good place to burn one and watch the sunset once in a while up there...
I could totally get stoned on your roof.

more painting (starting on exterior surfaces now) and hauled 300lbs of wood trim ONTO the truck OFF the truck, INTO the shed then OUT piece by piece to paint/dry then hauled it all AGAIN to it's final location not he front porch for tomorrow. I know it doesn't sound like much but it's hot and those boards are awkward to carry. Could only manage 3 at a time.

*my arms are becoming more Linda Hamilton-ish so I got that going for me...

Drove 300 miles yesterday picking up and disposing of half a dozen deer. Real fun in this warm weather. When I got home I found my gaskets waiting for me for the Sierra so I got that put back together for the most part, I'm still waiting on a new manifold. I found a big crack in one of the old ones so it's getting replaced.

I started working on the lift this last week while waiting for parts for the Sierra and found the the motor in the lift was corroded beyond repair so I had to replace that too.

do you have to wear any sort of mask when it's this hot out? I'd imagine the smell is unbearable in that heat/humidity
