The post whore thread.

[BladesNBarrels]

Yep, I got talked into a long working camp trip. So I have to navigate the stresses of bringing my all girl family camping, while being expected to build a storage shed in the woods at the same time. Sounds like it's going to be a cluster; we'll see.

Was camping years ago near Flaming Gorge.
A family with 6 small children pulled into the camp ground.
Each child, including the youngest around 7 years old, had a job assignment.
Two tents were erected, a fire laid, extra firewood gathered, a Coleman Stove and Stand, Dish washing stand, Cook box, and seating all set up.
Mom and Dad sat in folding camp chairs, never said a word, and just watched the whole process. The oldest child, girl, about 13-14 years old, directed traffic.
No crying, some excited chatter from the kids during the process, and a lot of laughter.
I was amazed.

Just a little pre-planning, organization, and dedicated troops.

[Irving]

That sounds amazing.

Nice, glad to hear that there are kids like this today

[ChickNorris]

Deja vu.

There were two squirrels in my maple tree...

[Irving]

You know I took this picture in anticipation of me bitching about driving for 3.5 hours only to have it be raining when I had to get up onto this roof today. But it really wasn't that bad.

[Beer]Mrs bo calls that "minions on a mission" and sometimes gets a little offended when #1 politely asks her to have a seat because she is kinda in the way and mucking up the works.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Fixing or repairing someone else's shitty shed construction sucks though. I have two that will most likely end up in a roll off and do it right instead.

[Irving]

Is the blue and yellow pole your ladder?

It's a thing called The Goat that I use in place of a rope and harness on steep roofs.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Thank you, Bungking.

[OtterbatHellcat]

They could have done better with a catchy slogan though. Like, "We've got your bung hole needs covered". ...or "Best bung hole service available".

:)

[OtterbatHellcat]

"Serving bung hole needs since 1976".

[OtterbatHellcat]

With some help from the employees at Dencol, I'm getting closer to getting some stuff powder coated.

I do however wish I welded more often to keep those skills fresh. Cleaning up strong but unsightly welds is a pain in the ass.

Next time try using a grinder.

[Irving]

Thanks for the help today Buffalobo.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Tough crowd tonight.

[wyome]

I wanted to go to sleep...and then I found Eminem and DrDre videos on YouTube....life is good

[ChickNorris]

Good morning folks

[Great-Kazoo]

Good morning folks

yes it is. After 5 days of on & off rain the suns up and no wind.

[Irving]

Much nicer today.

Should I convert my trailer to a spring over set-up for more clearance since I plan to use it for camping sometimes? Looks simple enough, but I only have today to do it.

[ChickNorris]

Maybe a better question is what else do you need to do for your trip?

[Irving]

Everything. Haven't built my storage box yet. Haven't packed a single thing. Haven't finished my work yet so I can dive into that stuff.
In fact, got to go. Don't get too interesting in here. I don't want to be distracted.

[ChickNorris]

I'll stave off the belly dancers & clowns until after you've packed.


Giggle

[CS1983]

If you get a belly dancing clown, he might pack faster.

[Irving]

Some restaurants around town have real belly dancers. If you've never seen one live, it's pretty interesting. This lady rolled a sword down her belly.

[ChickNorris]

If you get a belly dancing clown, he might pack faster.

Riiight

I haven't seen that amalgam yet.

[ChickNorris]

After a brief search... I no longer want to.

Dia de los muertos isn't the flavor I meant & I already know a couple of talented drag queens....

[Irving]

Have you ever been to Lanny's Clock Tower burlesque show on 16th St Mall? It's a lot of fun.

[ChickNorris]

I am familiar

[Irving]

I've never wanted a unicycle so bad as after that show.

EDIT: I made myself stilts out of 2"x2"s once for my birthday.

[ray1970]

I had a unicycle growing up.

I think my parents might have been secretly hoping to eliminate one or two of us when they bought it for us.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Fentonite,...it was a pleasure meeting with you today, Sir.

I look forward to the next time.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I damn near got the passenger side nerf bar done today. Fully welded up and gusseted, and it's strong as shit. Thank you, Brutal...again.

I've got some bungs in the mail for the rock shields I plan to design, don't know if I can make 'em and not have them look retarded. Cardboard mock ups are in my future for sure. There's a few different ways I thought of to accomplish this, I hope one of them works out...I don't want to trash the doors on the cab by not doing anything to protect it.

Tomorrow will be van loading day just to get it to the shop, and it might take most of the day. I'll get the tanks out on Sunday, replace the rear sender, get the carb replaced, and get the thing running. I'll have to dig into the front tank and see if anything's salvageable or go full blown McGyver to make something work.

I think it's Happy Friday time.

[ChickNorris]

Hi OBC

[ChickNorris]

Or not

[ChickNorris]

Im going to go make mischief now.



This good girl bit is getting old...

[Irving]

Remember, if there are people inside, it's aggravated arson.

[ChickNorris]

You're silly, I'm not a fire starter.

[ChickNorris]

Irving, did you get everything sorted for your camping vacation?

[wyome]

Mowed the front yard, ate tacos, got out of babysitting my niece, watched Indy 500 carb day practice and changed the oil in the car.....damn I worked hard today

[ChickNorris]

Definitely a mixed array of activities.

[wyome]

I like to mix it up

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hi OBC

Heya.

I was searching videos.

[ChickNorris]

I saw that

One of my best friend's can ride one. I'm always amazed.

So can I. I've never tried, but I know I can do it.

Xa, all packed up and at my brother's house so we can leave early.

[ChickNorris]

Girl folk too?

[Irving]

Yep, even the dog.

[ChickNorris]

Im so nosey...

Did you reconfigure your trailer too?

[Irving]

No. I barely had time for anything. I was making a storage box and didn't even make a lid.

[ChickNorris]

I see.

[ChickNorris]

Well... have a most excellent adventure & take lots of pictures.

[ChickNorris]

Im not sleepy, not even a little.

[ChickNorris]

..

[Great-Kazoo]

not even a little bit.

[Great-Kazoo]

It's the first spring / summer Farmers Market tomorrow.

[ChickNorris]

I don't get it...how is that different from the farmers' market you just went to a few weeks back?

Other than the obvious not April's market...

[ChickNorris]

not even a little bit.

Nope. Not one iota

[ChickNorris]

Not a jot

[ChickNorris]

spec

[ChickNorris]

or tittle

[OtterbatHellcat]

Is that like touching a tit, but only a little?

[ChickNorris]

Im surprised you didnt come up with something better with that reasoning.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I thought it was semi-clever, I can try harder I suppose.

Howdy.

[ChickNorris]

No, I meant in addition to...

[OtterbatHellcat]

Oh, you meant touching both tits.

Yeah, that's awesome.

[OtterbatHellcat]

https://youtu.be/K8E_zMLCRNg

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hell, if I had my own tits.....you probably wouldn't see me for a month at least.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I shouldn't be awake right now, but it's not my fault.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I have a lot to do today, should be sleeping In A Bed....but nooOOOooo.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Crash on the couch and wake up at 2:30.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Cut a big busted branch off a tree at the end of the driveway today. Trusty bambalance was useful to stand on in order to do so.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Creepy run ensues.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I don't like Greek food.

[OtterbatHellcat]

What you say about Greeks, Jimmy?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Negan.

Fvck yeah. TWD retreads on AMC now.

[ChickNorris]

Jimmy?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Off hour tv programming generally blows ass.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Busted.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Jimmy?

Jimmy the "Greek". Sports analyst gone awry with some colorful insight.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm not camping.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Crossbows....neato.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Why don't they ever play elevator music at sporting events?

[OtterbatHellcat]

If I have a funeral service, I want death metal music.....elevator style.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Remember the Good Ol' Blues Brothers riding the elevator up to the Cook County Assessors office?

Funny shit.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Elevators...… slow motion sling shots.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I shouldn't be up, dammit.

[OtterbatHellcat]

We're on a mission of dog.

[ChickNorris]

Then don't be.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Woof! .

[OtterbatHellcat]

Then don't be.

To be, or not to be.

That's a heavy question.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Then don't be.

Is this your advice on good sleeping habits?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Then don't be.

You didn't want to play. :(

[Irving]

I'm up!

[ChickNorris]

You didn't want to play. :(

Figured you'd take a nap if I stopped encouraging you.

[ChickNorris]

I'm up!

& off you go!

[ChickNorris]

G'morning folks

[Great-Kazoo]

I don't get it...how is that different from the farmers' market you just went to a few weeks back?

Other than the obvious not April's market...

The winter one is a smaller outdoor venue, with maybe 10-20 vendors, less fruits & veggies

The spring / summer one has at least 40 vendors Plus you're getting locally grown meats, fruits & veggies as it's a seasonal thing;) Then there's the 3-4 home based bakeries, etc.

They also have a few vendors selling breakfast / lunches.

Like this place. Her chicken or chorizo ones are tasty

https://safarisamosas.com/about-safari-samosas-1

[ChickNorris]

Oh I see.

Nice.

[Great-Kazoo]

Hell, if I had my own tits.....you probably wouldn't see me for a month at least.

You do. You're just not working them right.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I guess I could try a different way.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I messed up my back today.

Weird it's up high, between the shoulder blades.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Scared me when it happened....at first I thought I'd be heading to the hospital.

Hopefully it's just muscle stuff.

[ChickNorris]

Good reason to get some rest.

[ChickNorris]

Pueblo Tactical in the morning.

[whitewalrus]

Pueblo Tactical in the morning.

Good luck at the match!

[ChickNorris]

Should be good fun. Thank you : )

[whitewalrus]

I messed up my back today.

Weird it's up high, between the shoulder blades.

hopefully it gets better soon. back issues are nothing to mess with

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yeah, it's just weird it's up high like this. Any back pain I've had has always been lower stuff around the belt line.

If it's better tomorrow morning I'll still work on the van. That's how I messed it up....getting the van loaded up.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Have fun, and good luck tomorrow, CN.

[Great-Kazoo]

Should be good fun. Thank you : )

Yes, good shooting.

[Fentonite]

I messed up my back today.

Weird it's up high, between the shoulder blades.

Damn, that sucks. Don?t rush to get back at it. Get better.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey brother.. it feels better now than when it happened. I don't have a lot of time to work with and it has to go on this next trip.

It's gonna blow ass if it ain't runnin'.

[Fentonite]

Maybe just pour some beer on it.

(Or drink it. Medicinally, of course.)

[OtterbatHellcat]

Ya know, I've got to give thanks and feel positive about the winch install working properly, and getting it hauled here safely though. The original plan was to get it to the shop so it was ready to start working on in the morning. The car dollies worked, but trying to get the vehicle into position for the winch was the difficulty. Evidence I think, that I need to move forward with the trailer end fairlead idea I had. I would not have hurt myself if I had that in place.

I don't even remember if I mentioned that in a post or not. Fairlead mount at the ass of the trailer....it's gonna happen now.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Maybe just pour some beer on it.

(Or drink it. Medicinally, of course.)

Medical beer....I can dig it. :)

[Fentonite]

Glad you got it down here. As long as it’s been sitting, you figure the tires still ok for the trip?

[OtterbatHellcat]

It's gonna get trailered down...and those tires are junk for sure. The tags on the plate say '96 I think.

[Fentonite]

That’s right, you told me that. Guess I’m getting too old to remember a conversation a day later.

[OtterbatHellcat]

No worries.

'96....lol. I had hope then, ha ha ha.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm gonna get some clothes folding brownie points. :)

[OtterbatHellcat]

I've never heard of BTS before. Evidently, it's some oriental teenage girl band.

[OtterbatHellcat]

My inner ancient alien astronaut is doubting the crystal skull blasphemy.

Andy told me that god loves me, and I can try harder.

[OtterbatHellcat]

In the meantime, I'll take a muscle relaxer and hit the fart sack.

G'nite/morning.

And collect the eggs.

[buffalobo]

Goose eggs are great for size but not as good as duck or chicken when comes to flavor and consistency.

[buffalobo]

We eat alot of hard boiled eggs and while yokes from hard boiled goose eggs are great, consistency of whites is too rubbery.

Goose eggs make great scrambled eggs and ok fried eggs.

[buffalobo]

Gonna be some minions around today.

Bar b q, dirt bikes and guns.

Bar b q and guns ready to go, gotta get dirt bikes ready later this morning.

Reading this half awake I first saw ?feed the horses and grease the dogs?.

I was like WTF?

[buffalobo]

Reading this half awake I first saw ?feed the horses and grease the dogs?.

I was like WTF?The geese take care of greasing the dogs if they get too bully.

Our GSD learned very fast not to piss off the geese.

Neighbors Burmese mtn dogs(or whatever huge azz breed they are) have not. Is hysterically funny to see 90lb, 9 month old pup freak out when goose grabs a lip and starts flogging the shit out of them.

Yep. Fun.

I call bs. No way it's like Rock Springs. : P

[brutal]

Hail season is upon us :)

Yesiree. Sadly my truck and RV sit outside. Truck already got hit once while at the lake in Pueblo a few years ago, but it wasn't bad enough to get fixed right away.

I think if we get any hail here at the house this year, I'll need to get my roof checked. Fortunately, we haven't had anything significant enough for me to attempt any claims except for the truck.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Thanks, all.

With a time window rapidly closing, it was pretty important to get that thing started. Took about eight hours total, kinda kicked my ass a bit...the old sender looked like a rustcicle. I cleaned out about two or three cups of rust flakes and got the new sender in. The 25 yr. old carb in a box did awesome...I barred the engine over a few cycles, put five gallons in, and the damn thing started and idled smoothly. No smoke out the tailpipe either. I couldn't believe it....still can't believe it really.

I'm thankful.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hail season is a bad damn deal. I hope we can all escape house and vehicle damage this year.

[ChickNorris]

Hail season is a bad damn deal. I hope we can all escape house and vehicle damage this year.

Agreed.

Still, Its harder to get a 'do over' in the veggie garden with such a short growing season.

Might add that to your hope list too?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Well, initially I thought about including that....I figured less of us garden than do, but yes...I hope for flower and food gardens to not get killed as well.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I've both beaten to shit right after planting.

[ChickNorris]

How's your back?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Unwell.

Couldn't rest today, had to move more stuff to storage and then drop more stuff off at goodwill....and then do the grocery store thing.

That want/need thing again.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Thank you for asking.

Glad you enjoyed yourself yesterday, that's cool.

[ChickNorris]

Im looking forward to the Big Ben Tactical on Saturday.

[ChickNorris]

It'll give me a refreshed perspective on what I do & don't know.

[ChickNorris]

Very last minute but I need to build a couple of sbr friendly rifle racks. Just found out yesterday that there is a need for them.

I made one for Pueblo West sportsman's club & folks like it.

[ChickNorris]

Anyone have 2-4 extra 12' commercial trex boards, preferably grooved edge left over from a project?
Or a bunch 3' ends laying around? Need 14 of those total.

Before I buy new @ the wholesaler...

The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I found a handful of packs of "vintage" Black Cat fireworks.

I'll find out if they still work tomorrow....on a smoke break. I owe the kid..ha ha.

Should be fine if stored in a dry location

[OtterbatHellcat]

I would think so, and it got me thinking so I did just order some good stuff online though. None of that stuff up in the air, just loud firecrackers.
;)

[Fentonite]

Evening. Worked my 40 hours in the last 3 days, appropriately tired, sitting down with a nip of distilled agave.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Nice !

[Fentonite]

That van running well? No surprises?

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm about to wrap this night up and get ready for the shit show tomorrow (going back to work).

Lots to do here this week with Ed's family celebration of life next Sunday. I hope everyone has a good week.

[OtterbatHellcat]

That van running well? No surprises?

Man, I couldn't believe it. Started right up, no issues. I still have to get something figured out with the aux tank, but it runs and that's what I needed for now.

[OtterbatHellcat]

G'nite my friends.

[Fentonite]

Great news about the van.

[Fentonite]

Just had to run out and move the truck around to the garage. Didn’t know hail was expected. Just pea sized, but still.

[ChickNorris]

Yep. That storm was even noisier than the last. Bitty hail mixed in with big rain here.

[MrPrena]

I made a right call to turn off the sprinkler for 2 days. :D

[Irving]

How was the weather while I was gone? I heard there was some hail and tornadoes.

[ChickNorris]

& the latest hail storm was pretty good (2nd this eve)... the sound of it pounding down on everything a full minute before it arrived woke me up.

[ChickNorris]

Then I went outside to fetch the avocado tree & fell down the stairs.

On Kauai, avocado trees just grew in the yard year round. Miss that.

[ChickNorris]

I did not have the newly planted vegetable garden covered.

There's still a couple of torn up leaves left on some mostly naked stems.

[ChickNorris]

Fooie.

Im going back to bed.

[ChickNorris]

How was the weather while I was gone? I heard there was some hail and tornadoes.

How was your adventure?

[Irving]

It was fine

[ChickNorris]

It was fine

Um... ok

[Irving]

It was just camping. Nothing remarkable to share.

[BladesNBarrels]

3 hail storms last night.
10:30, 1:00, 3:30
Would just get back to sleep and the hammering would start again.
Still have piles in the yard and most of the leaves are little shredded bits now.
We only planted about 12 flowering plants over the week-end and they are no longer.
Looks like mostly pea size, no damage on the car that doesn't get to live in the garage, and have the higher priced hail resistant roof, so maybe escaped the process of filing claims, etc.

[Irving]

Yeah, pea sized generally doesn't damage much.

[BladesNBarrels]

Well, here it is 11:30 am on Tuesday and another hail storm.
Tries one's patience, but Mother Nature has her own rules.
The piles from last night did not get a chance to melt.

[ChickNorris]

Uffda. That tumble last night jacked me up.

[ChickNorris]

Word of the day: Advil

Like peewee's playhouse

[ChickNorris]

Night folks

[Irving]

Ouch. I've had sore shoulders for weeks now without really knowing what I did. I was just starting to feel better until trying to lift stuff from weird positions today and now I hurt again.

Patting yourself on the back while you sleep?

[Irving]

Not this year, unfortunately. But usually, yes.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Eating shit going down a set of stairs is never going to turn out well, no matter the age.

[OtterbatHellcat]

That damn aftermarket sender isn't reading right...fuker. Checked all the wiring and the gauge, the float just isn't OE and some further adjustment will be necessary to get it reading right. We'll get it figured out eventually.

[OtterbatHellcat]

The black cats were all duds btw, too dang old it seems. The new stuff will show up soon.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hump day comin'....far out.

[MrPrena]

Word of the day: Advil

Perfect word for peewee's playhouse.

[Irving]

Yay Hump Day

[Irving]

I'll be near Fentonite's place tomorrow morning, but no time to stop and visit.

[Great-Kazoo]

Well as long as they're objectified on their own terms. i guess it's ok.

[ChickNorris]

Gee thanks Irving, now I miss my raspberry pink hair.

[MrPrena]

Waiting for today's secret word.
Like peewee Reese's.

[ChickNorris]

I can't seem to settle on a word today...

[MrPrena]

Word of the day: lazy

Like peewee's playhouse.

[Irving]

I think we can lose the disclaimer. Anyone who doesn't know the context in which the word of the day is used, doesn't deserve to participate.

[ChickNorris]

Um... ouch?

[Irving]

Listen, if Pee-Wee Herman doesn't already live in your heart, then you don't deserve the joy of the word of the day. Even Buffalobo, who says has never liked Pee-Wee's Playhouse, knows what we mean.

Plus, what if one day there is some very important information about Pee-Wee on this website, then years later I want to do a search to refer back to that same info? I'll have to sift through 289 pages of the PWT thread to find info on my beloved Pee-Wee!

[Irving]

One of my cousins dressed as Pee-Wee Herman for Halloween once, and I have to say that he really nailed the look. It was great.

[MrPrena]

Um... ouch?

I will still be here for secret word regardless.

[CS1983]

He had to walk house to house since someone stole his bike.

[Irving]

Ha!

I hope you guys aren't thinking I'm trying to bring down Pee-wee. Not at all.

[Fentonite]

I'll be near Fentonite's place tomorrow morning, but no time to stop and visit.

Wouldn?t have been awake anyway. Turned into a late night.

[Irving]

I saw your camper as I drove by.

[Irving]

Looks like I'm heading out to Lamar soon. Never been there before. Maybe I'll see a tornado.

[Great-Kazoo]

So in CO i had more than 1 forum member unable to navigate they way out of the yard. Always finding the corner or side of the shop to run in to. Some couldn't get past the 12' gate with out scraping their truck along the fence.

Flash forward to a week ago. 20' straight job truck pulls in to install gutters. Gate is 12' wide with plenty of space to pull a full size truck with a 20' trailer in.

Truck needs to go forward to park between the house & guest house in the background.


So what does the driver do. Pulls up to the intersecting drives and..............................backs up

right in to the 4' oil firld pipe and gate. 30' at the widest area inside the gate narrowing down to 14' up between the buildings. I asked why did he think he needed to back u when the worh was on the other buildings/ I dun know, it's my first time driving this truck [facepalm]

[Irving]

Did you ever back a trailer into your old place? I'm getting better at backing with my trailer, but it still seems like that would be a tight turn. The wide alley helps for sure.

No we had enough room to swing a 17' pull behind through, with close to 1-2" alongside the gate / garage. The 8' gate out front was just wide enough to squeeze the trailer[s] out.

To this day i'm still perplexed how a guy with a smart car with plenty of room to get out of there, hit the corner .

This question coming from a guy who at 1 time, ok more than 1x backed in to power or light poles in an empty parking lot, or two.

[Irving]

The same week I did that, I watched another guy do the exact same thing. I figured out why we both did that, but it's difficult to explain over text.
