Spring 2015 General BS Thread

Whew! We made it through the winter.

Soon everything will be covered in the wonderful golden dust we all love so much. Keep your zyrtec and afrin handy.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Sparky has his pony on blocks. We're about to send the wife's pony to the shop for a new clutch and exhaust system.

Yup, spring has sprung, and it looks like a nice day to stay inside.
I thought I had two weeks of physical therapy but found out yesterday that I still have three weeks. But as well as I'm healing, and getting strength back in that hand she reduced me to once e a week for the next two weeks, and cancelled my last week all together
Hope y'all have a safe Friday

Glad your healing up nicely bob!

I'm spending this fine first day of spring pumping rainwater out of our containment pads here at work.

Looks like today is gonna be a nice day, supposed to get into the low 60's. I have atleast 2 plans for today, finish cleaning the previous owners old **** out of my building (we've only owned it since 12/31/13). Also giving the bike a bath since it is ridiculously dirty from riding home I'm the rain Thursday. Depending how long the first one takes I may give the truck a bath too, would also like to get a ride on the bike in at some point.

Tomorrow I have plans of having heat in the grill by 8-8:15 and have the meat hitting the grill no later than 8:30. Meal time is 2 and we've got 5 Boston butts ranging from 10-12# to be cooked and chopped by 2. Also got the 30# of chicken that I'm gonna whip up some sauce for that needs to be sizzling no later than 12. Gonna be a full day of cooking.

Sounds like you have a decent day lined up Larry.
My truck really needs to be washed, but we always have a good chance of rain in the forecast so I haven't washed it. I did vacuum the interior one day last week when we had an 80* day.
I've got burgers to throw on the grill later for dinner, but your menu sounds better.

Gonna throw some burgers on the grill this afternoon too I believe. About got the building free of crap, and in 3 piles. Scrap metal pile, burn able objects pile, and dump pile.

Low and slow, with a little smoke, the only way to get real BBQ!
My burgers were put off from yesterday, to do tonight.
We started working in the flower bed in the front yard. I found out in less than 15 minutes that my hand hasn't healed up enough to start playing with shovels yet. Still swollen from yesterday, taking it easy on it today.

Yup heat under them at 8:15 should be right by 2. Just started laying the chicken out on the grill too.

Hope everybody is doing alright.
Physical Therapy in an hour, just one more trip into Raleigh left after todays trip.
I've only had a couple of hits on tools, and tool box. People are clueless of what Snap On stuff cost' of just plane stupid with offers, I'm leaning more towards the latter. Really $50 for a $400 impact.
Y'all be safe
