What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Where I live, there are above ground power lines. I also live in a very wooded area, in the Houston Tx area. Lots of tropical storms, Hurricanes, and such. I have had it where we were out of power, for two weeks, in the summer. Also, with these stupid rolling black outs that the USA has had, during brutal cold spells, if you dont have a generator, you are screwed.

I see, we have also had that problem that we had power problem as soon as there were autumn storms. The longest period that we were out of power was 48 hours. After that we received $350 from the Power distributor. Here in Sweden there is regulations that stipulates that they have to provide power and penalties depending on how long the cut out is. Luckily they digged down the power lines last year so now we are safer. Biggest problem for us is that we don’t get water from our drilled well..

117 litres filled in BIB. Pasteurised and just cooling off before they will be stored in the stone cellar.

Shot my recurve bow for the first time since I fractured my elbow. Came home with all my arrows.

 

Glad to hear you're well done enough to do so!

 

Congratulations! But what about all your marbles?

 

Oh please! You know very well I lost those years ago.

 

My apologies, I'm not sure I understand. What did you pack?

 

Sorry, Apple juice. Earlier I posted the making of the juice.

I worked on blocking up some more firewood. I am building a stack of blocks and then I will split it all and see where I am at.
If the weather was nicer, I would be sorely tempted to..... (she keeps calling to me...)

 

I know what you mean. I rode my Harley exactly ONCE in 2022.
:-(
Maybe I should sell it and use the $$ for exotic shaving supplies!

Eyed that big old oak in the front yard more closely than ever.

I sold my last motorcycle 2005 (BMW), I still miss to have one. Specially spring time, but thinking a little bit further the risk driving one I haven’t bought one. Much safer with shaving supplies

i sold my last mustang late last year.while i miss having a hot rod for the first time in years,i don't miss the risks or financial responsibilities..

 

I have almost 22,000 miles on that 2013 XL1200CP
Harley will not make these anymore starting next year. I ain't selling mine!
I am almost to 4000 miles so far this riding season and it ain't over yet!

 

I cleaned the innards of my vacuum cleaner. Remarkable how much better machines work when you maintain them.

 

Wonderful!

 

I wanna ride the bike but, Canada says "No you ain't"!
"The Great White North" will be back soon...cold rain coming out of the NW today. It may get a light frost tonight.
They are calling for a low of 35 F here. I live on a hilltop so, I will most likely see a frost.
