WDYDT (What Did You Do Today)

[Bear9350]

Bobby, do you mind sharing who you work for?  I have quite a few buddies working for various companies in the Fox Valley area.

[JR]

Congrats Bobby!  How did you work out the Half Days schedule?  ::)

Looks like 8.5 hours to me. 1/2 lunch and a solid 8.

I like 4/10's. Did that for years on graves when 20 and loved it, weekends off.

That would be a joke... LOL. doesn't everyone work 16 hour days now? I.E googly eyes icon..

[JR]

Sounds good sitting on my retired arse,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Helped an officer take down a perp this weekend, then was warned that I may have to go to court if the guy lawyers up. wth...was just trying to help out.

Wait what? more info needed here...

[KensAuto]

Wait what? more info needed here...

The long short version is that I ran to the store, saw a struggle in the bushes between a cop and the "perp", perp was swinging at him on the ground, he ran away (I thought he might have aquired the cops gun...but he didn't), I chased him down with my truck, stopped him at gun point, officer caught up and took over from there. Calvary showed up, original officer thanked me and I left the scene, feeling pretty good about it. Next day, different cop (my buddy) showed up at my shop and we made a few "fat/slow" cop jokes, and he told me I might be called in for questioning. No biggy I guess.

Thanks Ken, not for the post but for the action you took. ;)

X 2!
Well done Ken.

[stlaser]

Well that doesn't happen every day, way to step up Ken! Almost makes up for that bumper sticker you sport...... ;D

[Bigdave_185]

Today I got to be home with a boy and a fever.  Watched movies while he took a nap four hours

At least no shots were fired and he was caught. Hate when LEO starts loosing a fight, but it happens.

Little will be fine Dave, my youngest goes through the same time to time.

[KensAuto]

Thanks guys. I'm also glad that shots weren't fired.

[Atkinsmatt]

This would be a better place if more folks would do the same kind of things.  Thanks.

[Flyin6]

Just catchin' up...

Kenneth, Outstanding job!

But you failed to take the shot...I'm somewhat dissapointed.

I mean he did reach behind to get what you thought was a gun, right?

[TexasRedNeck]

Good job Ken.  Were you giving some good strong verbal commands?  I just want to know which weapon you showed him?  A 1911?  A glock?  I assume if it was the 1911, you might have been concerned it would not go bang......:-)

[swbhobie16]

aaaand so begins the discussion of poly vs steel frame pistols. see y'all in 3 pages.  ;D

You know it was a hundred plus year old designed gun TRN....... ;D

[KensAuto]

hahahah. Yeah, 1911. Tex, you know I don't got no plastic guns!

...flipped on the led lights, acted like I was going to run him over, which forced him to stop running, I bailed out with pistola pointed at noggin, and started yelling get down get down  while advancing..at this point I had already seen that his hands were clear. He complied just as the officer came into my peripheral.

...oh yeah, methed out like crazy....maybe why he could run so darn fast! lol

[stlaser]

Ken, for record what were you driving? Maybe your vehicle is just slow? ???

[Sammconn]

So I'll just save my update for later. Pics anyways.
Got my hands on some toast batteries.
Made 24 Volts trying out inverter.
Runs two heat guns effortlessly, while the batteries have voltage.

[KensAuto]

Going elk hunting tomorrow...I know, it's not what I did today, but once I'm in the woods, I won't be on here for a few days.
3 tags to fill...all friends of mine. Supposed to be in the teens (Extremely cold for me. lol) with a light dusting of snow tomorrow, and windy to boot.


..hmm, starting to have second thoughts after typing that.

[Sammconn]

Now that ^ sounds like a real good time.

[JR]

Bit the bullet and ordered a PVS14 gen 2+ BW, what the heck, its just $$$.

[Sammconn]

Just bought a skidoo from a real man.
Other than a few pictures, have yet to see or touch.
The verbal mans word hand shake.

I'll know next week, but I have a feeling that it is the sister of the one I have.
Long story short, the fella I bought my Bertha from had two.
I think from talking to the guy I just bought from it is the other one.
Once I see the serial number I'll know for sure, but it was fate when I heard a few things about it, so now I have two work horses. Time to sell the Renegade.

And I'm loading bullets again tonight.
All I can say is I wish I'd've checked the zero on my scale last time.
It's all it could be, as 1200 rounds in the powder throw hasn't skipped a beat...
Dho!

[swbhobie16]

.. it started out as a starter change. and well.. you can see what happened since i've been hanging around these parts too long  ;D



took the opportunity to degrease and pressure wash it all down since it's torn apart. come to find out that some of the vent tubes were busted and causing gas residue to get on ecerthing  and attract ever particle of dust in sight. needless to say, i've  replaced those tubes.
also, new ball joints left and right, steering bushings uper and lower, a voltage regulator and a shifter boot are heading my way. and a new coat of paint before winter.

[Atkinsmatt]

Participated in some group therapy with the reloads I have been working on.  Had some good fellowship on the range and my AR behaved very well.

[Flyin6]

Now that ^ sounds like a real good time.

You would think that ;-)

I've been hauling soy beans to town.sitting in long lines listening to rush Limbaugh. Really liking Trumps picks. Seems too good to be true.

[JR]

Listening to Rush right now too. Been windy as heck here. Tying things down, cleaning out pool (haven't winterized yet) and going to Yosemite tomorrow for boy scouts.

[TexasRedNeck]

I thought the thought police prohibited Rush in CA?
Drove the Bus to work today.  Really like my old truck.

Tomorrow will pick up a commercial steam vapor generator to steam clean the master shower grout, the tile floor in the laundry and powder room, the oven and cook top, remove window tint from the rear windows

[cudakidd53]

Removing house or truck window tint?

[cudakidd53]

Mowed the LAWN for the last time - it actually had grown in addition to the neighbor leaf sharing program I can't seem to cancel my membership to  >:(.  Put mower away, covered patio furniture and put some stuff in the garage.  Uncovered the block heater plug for the Dmax, installed the winter front, changed all 4 headlight bulbs in the wife's MDX - those suckers are pricey - $21 a piece!  Fuel and fired up the snowblower, pre-staged with the auto start plug installed and bought a new non-metal snow shovel for the composite deck - since my daughter likes to shovel it, I figure I won't dampen her enthusiasm with hollering when she rolls up little curly q's of decking with the metal edges shovels like she did last year a time or two! :o

[Bob Smith]

Does the neighbor share a bit of shade in the summertime also? I mowed again today too, then laid down another shot of moss killer. The weather guys are saying we might get a bit of snow tomorrow evening and Monday. Will be melted off quickly though as the weather doesn't stay cold enough this time of year to allow any build up.

Nope, on the east side of my lot, just shares leaves and those damn helicopter seeds.....I've killed that tree in my head every year several times over. ;D

[Sammconn]

Made it across the lake to the cabin.



We then started heading to my buddies. Had to dance around this...



How close do you dare???

[Flyin6]

No mustang or dry suit??? That's a little crazy hangin' on the thin stuff there, Ranger!

[Sammconn]

That's in my mustang suit.
I may be 'crazy' but not stupid.

[Bigdave_185]

About 15 years ago I built this shed at my mothers house, well the screws are rusted through, the bolts are broke off of the doors  and the floor has sagged enough the doors done work so well.  Today was bandaids the door day.
First remove old junk and see what is usable

Some of the remaining hardware

I made the choice to keep the panels and the inner frame for the winter season, I purchased new hinges, some trim to mount them to and relocate the hinges into the frame and not just the half inch panel  added s new door lock

This should keep the snow out and the homeless people warm if they choose

Used a dry steam vapor generator to clean the tile and grout and now taking my Croatian immigrant friend to dinner for his birthday.  Makers 46 and about to have a bloody steak at Capital Grill.

Isn't Mark Cuban, Croatian as well?

[Mrwoody]

Ok so the steak looks awesome of course
But the question is , will you elaborate on the steam cleaning of the tile/grout and how did it work?

[JR]

Sitting in upper pines campground with the scouts, Yosemite just under halfdome.

About 25f right now at 1920.

[JR]

Pic above is from our campsite about 1500 when the sun went behind it.

Below is the waterfall on way in.

[Bigdave_185]

That looks awesome!  How many young men?

[JR]

16 scouts, 7 adults. Here it is now.

[Dawg25385]

Planted 4 western red cedar trees, dumped the crapper and winterized the trailer, put up Christmas lights, got the Christmas tree inside for wifey, some other random to'do's. Watched Clemson win, unfortunately...... would have done  by Dawgs a big favor by losing.

[TexasRedNeck]

So that steam generator is awesome.  337 degrees and 100 PSI.  It removes most anything, including skin if you get too close to it.  I cleaned three little areas of tile and then sealed the grout.     Tomorrow I will remove tint from the windows of the Bus in the rear.                       

Not cheap to rent, at $250 a day ( I get Sat and Sun for one day)
 
I plan to buy a smaller version at 313 and 75 PSI for about $800
