Not a golfer and yet your work colleagues gave you a club for retirement? Interesting. My most recent retirement they gave me a homemade knife. Everyone knew I was the office red neck/country boy and a knife was a perfect gift. My wife is a golfer. She is 67 and shoots in the 80s. Drives the ball 175 yard. So I go with her. Today was fun, a long bike ride, then a futile visit to the chiropracter, then a meeting about some business that I wanted to do. Then we rescreened a 8 foot by 48 inches screen door. That was fun, I liked doing that.

Worked on a few Prescribed Burn Association items and then met the forester on the south end where we FINALLY have a timber crew on site to start harvesting. Been 2 years with basically nothing coming off the land so hopefully they can get the stands thinned and cut before our summer storms set in and the ground gets wet again.
Once it looked like they were on track went and pulled chips on some cameras monitoring gopher tortoise burrows on the sandhill site we burned 2 weeks ago and then spent about a hour and a half mixing and setting up herbicide equipment.
At about 5:00 we decided we'd done almost enough so popped a "adult beverage" one of the electric carts and ran down to the south end to see if there was any hog sign needing attention from the dogs......which there is......I hate running hogs this time of year! Saturday or Sunday.....more work.....

One of those days. After the gym, my wife said, lets hang that ceiling fan on the patio. Knowing it would be a box of chocolates as Lennar subs use whatever they want to for junction boxes, we started, and sure enough jumped into a mess. Got it done and crap, doesnt work. Wife is convinced its the remote, and I said, nope one of the wire nuts came loose, because it was such an involved and stupid way to do it. Sure enough...fixed it and it works. Then continued the process of putting tung oil on the patio table, had to clean it up with the palm sander first. Time for an adult beverage.

Started out working on our hog problem while Louann went and picked blueberries..... Caught 2.....both sows, by 8:30.....then......dogs got on a 35-40 pound pig who knew the game and never quit loping along through the woods. Actually saw him cross the road 3 times, every time with the dogs about 5-7 minuets behind. Finally had to pull the dogs off as they were whipped. Cleaned hogs........and then ran down to check on a timber harvest on the south end. Then, after prepping dinner and slamming it in the crock pot ( shrimp chowder!!!!....with shrimp we caught....) went with Louann back to where she had been picking blueberries in the morning.....another 8-9 pounds. Stuck those in the frig and then went and checked a small area we might burn tomorrow...... studio.youtube.com/video/ko9VX0xQtDY/edit

Bolted the body to the frame of the Jeep. I had everything measured and when I finished, I noticed it was 1/4 of an inch off from being square. Thursday I will loosen the mounts and try to move it`1/4 inch and reconfirm it is straight and tighten the mounts again. It is a pain to get this body lined up exactly square. Then I can start on the interior of the tub fixing some rust spots.

Took a bike ride, started a butt on the smoker, went to chiropractor, cleaned the house, cleaned about 500sf of the tile that has adhesive stains on it, comes up real nice with Barkeepers friend, will also make my chiropractor happy, as its on your knees work. Finish the butt and at 5pm find out everyones sick and no one is coming to dinner.

Prepped for the Chandler reconstruction. I thought I was ready, but there are a bunch of little things to adjust and paint before they become inaccessible or hard to access with the body and fenders on. Way easier to lean over than lie on ones back.

Is that your shop? Looks like a professional drying room.

It's coming along nicely. What paint did you use? Single stage urethane enamel. So no clear coat and a little more like what was used in 1922.
