Here you go Al. Wack your two sticks together like this and you can dance to it too. 😀
The Watering Hole

WELCOME TO THE WATERING HOLE
A stress-free place to gather and share whatever is on your mind! A fun place of mutual respect where you can hang your hat, vent, relax and shoot the bull for a while!
Happy Easter to all who celebrate that faith.
To all others, Happy Spring!
Easter symbolizes a new beginning, so it is fitting that TWH has a new beginning as well!
Along with RFC, TWH has been remodeled!
Actually, it can be anything you imagine it to be!
I am happy to announce that due to the increased bandwidth of the new RFC, there is no longer a need for the weekly closing and re-opening of TWH!!! After 10+ years of weekly "flipping" we now get to keep the doors open continuously! My sincere thanks to our moderators, especially Sophia, for making this possible!
I would also like to thank all the members who have kept this boat afloat for so long! We have become like family here, and now have a permanent residence!
While we have many long-time members who have been enjoying the company found in this amazing virtual bar, we also welcome all new folks. Jump right in! The first drink is always on the house and Veterans always have an open bar!Al The Infidel (Tubby Slayer extraordinaire) is the bar manager.
So, let's get this re-opening celebration going! Set 'em up, Al! Drinks all around!!!

First off, Happy Anniversary, Mr and Mrs Wayne! Many congrats!
Secondly, my range day today didn't involve either of the remote paper-punches I was planning on yesterday, but turned into a Sig day. With 3 different ammos to play with.
The Browning "Range and Practice" was acceptable - no flyers, reasonable little-ish group. The Freedom Munitions ammo that I was expecting to be the worst (coz it was the cheapest) was actually very good, or I had hit my stride perfectly when I got to it. And the Sig "Elite Performance" was terrible - or I was just tired by then. But a further 5 shot group with the others kinda proved it wasn't me....
Good morning, though - greatly enjoyed, and a clear road through the twisties on the way home so I got to play there as well.

Got a couple of chores done at my dad's house today, luckily he's my boss so I get paid pretty good to do them...
First was fix his Gadsden flag, it was hanging crooked. Next was re-hang the front screen door, the wood is rotted that it is screwed in to so I filled the hole in with epoxy used to hold concrete anchors.
Next was prime up his misting system and clean up the water cooler for the garage, should have been done before Easter...
Lastly I made a overly complicated, overly built ramp to support and line the gate up with its latch upon closing...

I'm going to build a flag "pole" like my dad's to mount on my house, I'm thinking here...

This was quicker
. Both posts are green board 4x6s, 30 y.o., and in a difficult spot. I did repack, shim and adjust the hinges the best that I could. At least I'll be able to reinstall these parts when I eventually have to replace the posts. It's a heavy gate, so support on both sides even with new posts won't hurt anything, well maybe a bare foot.😬
It's raining now (since 10:00AM) didn't get much done outside.
We made do with just a little shopping.
I got word that newest camera has shipped. Expect that in a week...
It's always fun to get new stuff.
Tomorrow is lookin' pretty nasty too. If the weather is against us, I'll shoot (photos or pellets) in the man-cave.
Life in the great PNW...

Gotcha!This was quicker
I have been building fences since I was 14 years old (50 years ago!!!
) Started with helping my uncle at his fence company. Mostly chain link and picket fences. Since then I have only put up a couple of vinyl fences by myself. The gates and hinges are the most troublesome and the first to get out of whack! Great "Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome" strategy!R
Mornin',
1.10 inches of rain and a lot of wind yesterday evening/last night. Still windy, going to remain windy, start with some sun and then clouds move in with a high of 53, 13 degrees below normal.
Easter dinner leftovers were good last night. The usual Taco Tuesday fare tonight before we return to leftovers again tomorrow night. That should do in all but some ham. Hopefully, it will end with some fried ham and eggs for dinner one night.
My wife is not big on leftovers. I told her she must not have been poor when she was young. We would eat the same thing every night for a week if there was that much leftover and you didn't complain. Better than going hungry. I remind her that leftovers keeps her from having to decide what to fix every night, as she runs out of ideas.
Meetings today starting at 0730 hours.
Have a great day.

Amen! Been putzing with my 99yds of 6'H, 8' posts and 3 gates since it was installed. I still have some well seasoned boards from the olde one. Got the new privacy fence when I grew weary of looking at the neighbor's crap and skunks tearing up the lawn @ nite. Now the newer fence is leaning in several spots. I-yaaah!Gotcha!
