Heading down to the Rockies game shortly and the Taste of Colorado for the Joan Jett concert.
Planning to buy a new mattress and furniture. Old stuff's ratty.
Been working on my truck. Replaced upper control arms w/ball joints, both lower ball joints, and one coil spring. Still have one spring to go. Yippee. Sore all over. I'm too old for this shit.
Me and my daughter did all that to the truck a month or so ago....Too old for that poop too.
What are ya working on?
When my son calls me I'll be taking a queen bed frame and mattress/box springs (brought back from my recent trip to KY) to his apartment to replace the full sized bed he has. Not sure what I'm going to do with the old stuff. Too bad we can't leave them @ his apartment dumpster. (Or can we?)
Also gotta hang a TV mount in my bedroom along with a shelf beneath for DirecTV box & DVD player.
Havin a BBQ with some hombres and enjoying the weather. [Dinner]
My wife is going to be jealous. She'd love to go see Joan Jett. But we're up at Copper Mountain at a music festival. About to go down and watch Buckwheat Zydeco. My youngest brother is playing bass for Jimmy Vaughan this evening to close out the concert.
I sure miss Stevie. Have fun!Quote:

Serve it up with some Olathe sweet corn on the cob, a baked sweet potato with galic bread on the side.
Hamburgers with blue cheese, baked beans and potato salad for tomorrow.
Yesterday got in a little range time, bought a 525 rd box of Rem Golden Bullet .22lr for $32, had a nice dinner, rode over to Cabela's to spend a $25 gift card (bought some .38spl range ammo. Today I woke up early, got in a nice motorcycle ride to Estes Park and back, had a late lunch with an old neighbor who's in town for a visit, bought myself a Samsung tablet as an early birthday present my sons will pay for LOL, just got done with a brief meeting with a client, chilling for now until dinner with my older son, his wife and the world's cutest 23 month old little boy.
Tomorrow, no rest, back to laboring for "da man" LOL.
Chores around the house, prepping meat & bread for the smoker, washed the wife's car (she was freaked, I hate washing cars and that was maybe 3rd time I have done it for her in nearly 20 yrs).
Going to replace switch on tractor then spend evening on porch smoking meat and drinking beer with wife and dog. Maybe stock car race on in the background.

Damn you guys don't know how to enjoy yourselves!
Eat your hearts out I'm at work [Coffee]
Wasn't having anything planned as the wife has to work starting tonight for the next 5 days. This normally happens to us.
Then last minute planned a simple get together with another forum member just to have some resemblance of a holiday. :)
We just got back from a day trip to the mountains. We should have just planned to camp for the night but ohh well.
We'll probably do a day trip to the mountains tomorrow, as I'll be ending my 7 day work week at 8am tomorrow.
I've been digging up established bushes and trees for over a week now. Pulling stumps with a high lift jack is a LOT more work than with a truck.
Dragging the wife up to Pawnee tomorrow to help me sight in my muzzle list.
2000 Silverado 1500 2wd ext. cab. Heavy pig with heavy parts. Ugh. I hate dickin' with coil springs! Dangerous bastards.Quote:

Tomorrow will get haircut, groceries, and meat.
Estes with friends. Unexpected visitor.
I have to mow the lawn....
Working, ya know to celebrate Labor.

Trying to quit smoking. Again.
Saturday morning at about 2:00 am was when I had my last smoke.
No, I don't really want to shoot anyone.....no, really.
Coincidentally, this house would be the absolute WORST house to invade right now........just sayin... ;)
Cause of all the second hand smoke?
Cool we fixed up the '64 C-10 awhile back...coil springs for lowered vehicles make it an easy job...hang the front end in the ar and the springs are loose.Quote:

Wish I could have kept my '72 C10, it was a sweet truck in great shape, would have been an excellent rebuilder. But alas, we must move on.....Quote:

Oh, we had a fire in the backyard fire pit last night. Smoked a 'gar and cooked a weenie. Big time holiday festivities!
I hope you had a great trip. We are embarking tomorrow.. Japan, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia. The volcano eruption in Java may cause some issue for the Bali flight, but hey She insists on going to the island every year.Quote:

The trip was great. Just be aware that international travel requires a certain degree of mental flexibility. Also get a NON tollfree number to contact your airlines if you need to -- the payphones in SIN don't like dialing toll free numbers in the US and neither of my cell phones (one GSM, one CDMA) worked in the terminal. My issue in Indonesia was caused by the forest fires in Sumatra -- airports in 4 regions were shut down and flights delayed or canceled for at least 2 days. I don't blame the airlines or airports either -- visibility on Friday was about 200 m (official reports claimed just over 300 m but I couldn't see the tower 2 football fields away except as a silhouette).Quote:

Anything singapore is great! I have had to stay for over 12 hours in changi airport - it's like a 24 hours mall with shower and sleeping cubicle!Quote:

As far as the smog, it's always like that in the fall. These billion dollar Palm plantations burn down their field annually
