havent been up in here in dayZ...:ugh:

whats good duuudeZ.

missed you itcheZ

Like the pang of impending diarrhea, you can't ignore us for long! Welcome back EW.

Reps distributed! Sore after the weekend - spent a while doing yardwork yesterday after paintball the day before. Paintball was awesome. I love Skirmish, place is huge. We did have to deal with our fair share of paint-wiping little bitches, so after a while, I just started lighting up the opposing team till they'd oust themselves.

Yard is coming along. Finished digging out most of the debris on the driveway side, and all the fallen trees are dissected. I can almost use the mower over there - that's the eventual goal! Pressure washed the house. No more moss.

2 hours for sirloin is my go to method. When you start to hit 3 or more with thinner cuts of meats, it starts to fall apart. Now a tomahawk or thick porterhouse I would let go for 3 hours min.

And yea. I do the same with my cast iron. I crank my over to 550F and then sear the ever living hell @ 15 seconds per side while I spoon smoking butter all over the cut.

:owned:

:hello:

Morning all. I be up.

Getting ready for work.

Going to be high 70's here for the rest of the week. With rain starting tomorrow. Ending on Friday.

I got to more work to do around my cowboy grille. Have to add more 1 foot concrete squares towards the retaining wall for my log rack.

There are several:

1) Idiot
2) Moron
3) Stupid
4) More $$ than sense..... :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Well, your yard was definitely looking good when I was there. I think you're a bit closer to done than I am ;)

Long term plans, in no particular order:

1) Shore up existing retaining wall around driveway (my garage/driveway back up against a hill). Masonry is cracking, so I'll probably need to rent a backhoe and dig behind the wall, build a frame, and pour in concrete to make sure it holds. That's going to be a big job.
2) Move my shed. Currently right behind the house, and it blocks the view of my scenic forest from the back room. Short sighted placement on the part of the previous residents, but that was pretty much their MO.
3) Add patio where my pool used to be. (Big project off the list this past year was filling in the pool)
4) Terrace back hill.
5) Clear out stable, refinish cement block walls, add pergola and fire pit.
6) Line porch with river rock as a border because wife thinks it will look good (she's probably right).

Got my next few Saturday's lined up...

You might think of installing a french drain on number 1.

I got rid of the river rock the first owners had put down. It was full of weeds. And took too long to take care of.

I spent yesterday sawing up the 4 wood pallets that was sitting along the retaining wall for fire wood.

That's my general opinion of river rock. Good thought on the french drain with item 1.

Thanksgiving
