Somewhere between 2-4 pm have a a/c contractor coming over to quote a new a/c unit. This is going to be interesting because they installed the original one 16 yrs. ago and it was
$1,800 ...... let's see how much they've gone up !
Got a quote from another source and it ranged between $4,700 and $3,600

I think you are going to be shocked at the quote. Furnace & AC will probably run close to 10K......

You will probably have to replace the furnace because the new A coil won't fit in the old furnace.

I'm preparing for the aporKalypse. What happens when there is no more bacon with which to lube?!

Accurate. Summer projects so far:

-Finish recording album.
-Rebuild 2 stone walls.
-Finish drywall and tile exiting onto new deck, which means getting my wife to commit to a type of tile...
-Finish closet in downstairs bathroom.
-Clear out stable of 30+ years of debris and junk thrown there by previous owners (made a good start on this - it's now in a big pile instead of spread out, and all the cinder blocks are removed).
-Remove parts of stable walls, use concrete pad as patio foundation for firepit. Add pergola roof.
-Pour new pad in yard. Move shed onto pad (will need to hire someone to move it).
-Remove old patio under shed. Prep for garden next year.
-Remove 2 more dead trees. Finish carrying debris from about 6 others down my hill.
-Turbo car.

That's a goodly list, I think...

Restoring 122 year old house.
A lot of time an effort.This as been a hobby I enjoyed.
Now at my age everything takes twice as long to do.

The smaller ones are really good. I'll eat the ones under 100 lbs. Over that, they get too nasty to even bother cleaning. Just leave it there to lure in the coyotes and shoot them too.

If you're lucky. We're seeing $12-14k on an entire setup on new construction.

My brother and I were thinking about doing a javalina hunt one time. They look like little hogs. I was doing some reading up on them and was kind surprised they werent hogs and dont taste like pork.

Do you eat the Coyotes? Honest question.

No, they just tear up the animals you want to keep alive. So they've gotta go.

Ive heard of people eating them. Just kinda weird. Just like the dude who hunts bob cats. He fed it to his girl friend after grilling it up. Told her what it was, and she said...oh, well it tastes good...

Chuck33079 · 06-27-2019, 11:01 AM

I'm sure you could eat them, I've just never heard of anyone doing it. From what I've heard, predator species are really gamy.
