Share your day July 2013

Usually, I log on here, view the new posts and make the odd comment. But, now with all our wonderful new members, there are 78 new posts and don't know if I'll get through them all. It's becoming a chore and I've got chores to do . . .
 
Spent the day making a budget, finishing off the proposed barn plans, talking to the building inspector to see what I have to submit and generally on the internet comparing what I want in the barn to what is out there already. The day is almost over and I haven't accomplished too much in the way of working on the house. Going to ride the pony a bit tonight so hope the rain holds off!
 

Spent most of the day watching the tree trimmers remove two of our big trees, and do some large branch trimming on a couple of others. All went well, no damaged roof, gutters, etc. Seem kind of bare now, will take a bit of getting used to without that privacy from the street...but there are good things, like more sun in the house in winter, and less gutter clean-out, less huge Austrian Pine needles to rake up from the back lawn, etc. Was going to go for a walk afterwards, but decided to be lazy. :)
 
Just started the day here it is 10.54am on a friday, i am going to attempt to do my grocery shopping which will be slightly difficult due to my bronchial cough i have, all and sundry will be giving me a wide berth when they hear my foghorn, don't blame them but i do need to eat and no-one to shop for me, i find it's the quickest way to rid yourself of your money, supermarkets are like a huge vacuum on our money. It will be nice to be out in the sun which is soo good for you.
 
Up reasonably early, 7.30, and after a walk and breakfast I was on library duty in our retirement village library for an hour or so....
Came home and had lunch and then on the computer to read emails, post on a few forums......nothing too exciting.:)
 
Didn't make it to the barn last night as the weather cleared up a bit so decided to finish power washing the patio. Looks like the sun might come out so am hoping to start staining this afternoon if the weather cooperates today. Mr. Wilson did get ridden though. My daughter had booked a lesson so she used him instead of her horse, just for a change. Apparently, he wasn't too willing and gave her a bit of a rough time, so she's booked another lesson on him tonight. If I get through in time, I'll go watch to see how she does.

You've seen the pics of him so know he's a husky old boy so you'll appreciate how he must look in English tack. Cracks me up!:highly_amused:
 
Hi, I'm new here and this looks like a nice spot to jump in and get to know others.
Am home from work sick today and enjoying having the time to get to know my way around here.
 
Hi barbarap.. Welcome and get well!

My day has gone like this >

.. then I broke it! .. Oil running out all over.. So I probably will need to go mower shopping. DRATS!
 
I did some mowing today, picked squash, okra and tomatoes from the garden, wife and I went for a walk, nailed up a couple of clothespins to hang rags for checking oil,etc. and am now here under the AC typing this.

Hi Barbarap, welcome! :wave: Hope you take it easy today and feel better soon!

I took a walk with hubby today, but left the dog home in the cool. Cleaned up in the front yard a bit, with all the tree trimming yesterday, there were a lot of small branches and things here and there. Haven't done much since then, except watch some TV and browse the forum, checking out the new smileys. :bounce:

Don't leave your cell phone close to Wilson -- he will be calling the Horse Abuse Hotline for that English saddle - poor fella. That tiny saddle does not lend well to Wilson's western and very muscularly rakish appearance:coolthumb:

I'm not sure those last three words count as a real descriptive - I just made them up but Wilson is very handsome in a muscular way, not befitting of an English saddle

:wink:

Hey! we got some new emoticons!:clap::happy:

Well, I can understand wanting to get 'er done . . . But, being in touch with my internal slacker, know it's best to work some and rest some. Kick back. Relax. You deserve it.
 
Yea! Ordered my new bike!!! Have been searching for six months on just what I wanted and finally went back to my original choice: Worksman's Wounded Warrior Destroyer in battleship gray.

Made in America!
 
I haven't been on a bike for years, but that looks great!!

Got half of the deck stained today, was trying to stay ahead of the sun as it moved around the house. Worked on it from 8:30 this morning until 4:30 tonight. Will finish it tomorrow morning. Should be out there mowing the front lawn, but admitting right here and right now - I'm too pooped to mow anything. Just had a shower and my daughter is making dinner so took a few minutes to log and see who is up to what, and am now going to sit under the patio umbrella with a much deserved beer and moan to anyone who wants to listen about my aching back.

Have a wonderful evening all of my Senior Forum Friends!!!!

Yeah, Yeah,Yeah...you sound like my hubby...Know you're both probably right, but that big A voice inside my head tells me to get 'er done!

Nice bike hope you have lots of mile of enjoyment on it...maybe the riding will be good therapy for your knee..or not!
 
Yesterday I cut more limbs with the pole saw until both batteries conked out. Hauled the limbs to the burn pile.

Picked and shucked corn and then dug a 5 gallon bucket of 'taters. Pulled a bunch of carrots. Wife will probably be canning soup again soon.

Was in the house by 2:30, it's too darn hot in the afternoons.
 
Yeah, Ozarkgal, exercising the knee is in the planning. Where I lived at the vineyard everything was straight down hill and riding a bike was out of the question. Around here it gets hilly but will deal with it. Of course, a mountain bike would be smart but not only am I stubbornly not smart at times I just do not like bikes with gears and hand brakes. A good ol' single speed cruiser with a coaster brake suits my style.

Neighbor just came by looking for his dog thinking she came to visit me or the horses across the fence. Nope, she was at home all the time. I'm callin' it dog humor. Anyway, said he want's to get together and play some guitar later. Excellent.
