Climber upgrade

Inb4 that looks heavy, switch to a saddle, boomer type comments.

This idea probably ain't new to you but was an idea I had and finally got my hands on a rucksack frame, shoulder straps, and waistbelt. Feels pretty good and balanced on my back. I was worried the bottom platform would hang up when it's pulled up out from the upper platform but I mounted it where it clears that bar just fine. Also replaced the seat. I'll cut the zip ties when I'm 100% satisfied with the setup.









Sorta, I hunt alone, I'll go home to KY and ride my ATV in the mountains alone. I like being in nature. But I wouldn't go to NYC alone.

My mom had one of these Hitzer brand inserts that fits in an existing fireplace.

My cousin has a Buck Stove.

Stoking the fire before bedtime and you'll pee in bed. Every single time!
PEG - Payton Equipment Group. It was their equipment that hit the bridge.




I have a private water meter for my irrigation system in my garage. Our home was built in the 90s. We send in the reading every six months to reduce our bill. Water use vs sewer use. Sometimes the discount is so much we get a credit.

I'd get a couple of quotes and see what the cost is to install one. Then do the math on whether it makes sense to do it.
Saw my dad catch crawdads bare footed with his toes. He could spread his big toe out and catch them between the big toe and the one next to it.
I bought three of them for my older aunts and an uncle who do their own weedeatin. One aunt loves it because it keeps her back from hurting. The other two are too stubborn to use them!

I worked with a guy from Sylacauga AL that hung himself from a tree behind his house. He was distraught about his wife leaving him. White guy.
My orthopedic tried telling me that I had tennis elbow one time. It turned out to be a torn tendon which required surgery. I found out after demanding an MRI after 2 months of pain even with a cortisone shot.

Oh but he was so sure that it was tennis elbow because he sees it everyday!

I didn't spend that much individually, gutting our bathrooms at our 1st or 2nd homes. By gut I mean tore out down to the studs and subfloor. I did all the demo myself and some of the other stuff. Replaced galvanized steel pipes with PVC in our 1st home. Both homes had that thick mortar bed with reinforced wire mesh behind the tiles.

Messy dusty jobs but so worth it.
This is the brand you want for commercial jobs.

This story is straight outta Sylacauga AL.

Was talking with a buddy recently. We're both in commercial roofing but work for different companies. We get the worst of the worst of employees.

He was telling me he had to fire a guy we both have had as an employee over the years. The employee fell asleep on a roof for over an hour and they couldn't wake him up. This guy has a history of using but lately has been getting high off what they call "water". It's extracted somehow from floor stripper and they drink it. Never heard of that before. Man that's low.

I hate drugs and what it's doing to our country.

Two nights ago I dreamt someone shot me in the chest as I reached for a package at the front door. I heard the shot and everything. It woke me up. Does that count as a nightmare?

I've got a Stihl HSA 56 battery powered hedge trimmer. The only battery powered lawn & garden tool I have. It does good, especially for short bushes. Anything tall you'll need a ladder. Stihl has a good selection of battery powered tools.
