Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Tried to clear the drive with the s'blower last night. No Go. Snow was too wet and it just clogged in the chute. To Heck with it. We have snow tires. It can just stay there till it melts, 'cause we ain't shoveling it! Too heavy when wet! GRUMP ! I've had enough of winter! Since I can't snow mobile or snow shoe in it any more, I'm gettin' old(er) and cranky(er). Now get off my lawn! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Man Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Daughter came by this afternoon and helped patch the fence. Don't know how long it will be till we can fix it right. A couple of spots, we almost sank up to our ankles because of moles. Hope the buggers drowned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Got the bandage off of my forehead, early this morning. Ol’ noggin ain’t too much worse for wear. Just some pretty colors over and around my right eye. The front yard looks like lake Okeefenokee where it has rained so much lately and I suspect that I’ll hafta get the driveways sealed this year. Gonna need to get the lawn mowed too! I ABSOLUTELY HATE MOWIN’ THE LAWN!!! Edited March 27, 2023 by Blackwater 53393 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Goats stink up the place and climb up on stuff that they don’t belong on! My mother used to have goats. One night they got out and climbed all over my Corvette and ruined a very expensive paint job. The whole neighborhood ate goat barbecue for weeks!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) Considering that I got a nice “Tanker” holster in the mail this morning and I got the cast off of my foot with the news from my doctor that my foot has once again healed up, you’d think that I might not be very GRUMPY today!! WRONG!! BUZZARD BREATH!! I stopped on the way home to fill the tank on the Buick. I hit a station that had gas for less than three bucks a gallon!! You’d think I was smiling, right?? It took me moving to three different pumps before I found one that my debit card would work in and then only after multiple attempts to get it to work!! Not to be outdone by a gas pump, (or even three gas pumps) when I stopped at my bank’s own ATM to retrieve some cash for an ammunition purchase I’m making tomorrow, the damned thing refused to do the transaction and wouldn’t return my card either! It sat there and the screen read, “Unable to complete transaction at this time. PLEASE REMOVE YOUR CARD!” After repeated attempts to get the card out of the machine, I walked over to the drive-up window and asked for some help. A nice young lady came out and attempted, without success, to retrieve my card from the machine. NO JOY! She then brought out the manager lady to see if she could help. NOPE!! She went to the drive-up window and got the teller to give her a pair of pliers, (at my suggestion) and we finally got my card out of the ATM! I went to the drive-up and got my cash. The manager lady apologized for the inconvenience and added that she really liked my gun!! I reckon I can’t GRRRRUMP too much!

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 OK, ya got the cast off. GOOD. Now quit kicking things, stomping on nails and running barefoot through the fields.

Blackwater 53393 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I’m going to go easy on the walking and such for a while longer! The foot may be healed up, but I reckon it’ll need to “hair over” a bit to become sturdy enough for regular use!! I made it out to our local Cowboy Lunch today. Walked to and from my seat at the restaurant and to and from the car at the house. Other than that, it’s back and forth to the head and to the rack from my recliner!! I’m behaving badly as usual, but I’m doing it from a sitting position!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Got grumpy earlier today. I've been working on trying to make an old H&R Topper .410 look and operate for a buddy. He inherited it and it looked like it was stored for years wrapped in a wet blanket. It's a newer one with the plastic trigger guard. So here's the grumpy part, I removed the pins for the trigger guard, removed it and a part fell inside and 2 springs along with the trigger fell on the bench. Rut roh! After cleaning and lubing the internals I managed to figure out where everything went, but getting them back in was another story! After numerous attempts and different tongue positions and just the right squint along with some sailor language, I made a trigger pin out of a chop stick. In it went like I knew what I was doing. Grump resolved. The barrel exterior is all rust, but not particularly pitted. Got the extractor/ejector working. Now to clean and reblue, ha ha. From a previous thread, I used Howard's feed and wax on the stock which removed what looked like mildew and it looks quite nice now. Waiting for Brownells to deliver my Oxpho Blue and we'll see how the final stretch goes! Likely more grumping! A lot of time for a cheapy SG, but fun along with the grump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Long day today! Up before 6:00 am to take Schoolmarm for an epidural this morning. Back to the house and then out to the grocery for some essentials and then another stop for lottery tickets. Back home and a few chores. Then we’re watching to see how the treatment is working and fixing supper. It’s 10:00 pm and she says the shot’s doing some good. I’m heading for bed and I MAY sleep ‘til noon tomorrow!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 You should see the way they act when you drive around on one of their lawnmowers!! Schoolmarm’s epidural hasn’t done her any good. Going to talk to her orthopedist on Friday. Foot doc has me in a padded bandage and a walking boot for at least another week! Looks pretty good but it still wants to bleed a little now and then. It has been over six years since this ordeal began… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Jabez, as fellow cowboys we have a duty to heal up Blackwater. Start a big fire while I get the branding iron, We'll cauterize that bleed. OK, we can be sorta merciful: Give him a bullet to bite down on. If that ain't enough, I have some anesthetic. *Secret Stuff. We know you don't like sympathy but we do hope you get better soon.

Blackwater 53393 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Been rather nice around here for the last few days! The rain has held off, for the most part, long enough for the front lawn to dry up! Hatfield got most of the grass cut this afternoon. HELL! The lawnmower fired right up and ran great!! On the downside, I did a lousy job cooking breakfast. I dropped two nice sausage patties in the floor, (my rotten ol’ dog thanked me profusely) and it took forever to get the bacon cooked the way I wanted it. Then I go to the fridge and discover that there’s only two eggs!! Two eggs doesn’t feed four people and I was out of pancake batter too!! Between my damned foot and Schoolmarm’s back problems, we ain’t been grocery shopping in two weeks!! You can bet your sweet bippy that I’ll be all over the store on Monday!! GRRRRRRRUMP!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 We had some nasty storms here last evening, but thankfully we took no damage. Today is cooler, supposed to hit the lower 70s, but beautiful sunshine. Picked up a new pocket gun yesterday at work, a Keltec P3AT. Not much to look at, but one of the best backup or always guns out there. So no grumping for me today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Gotta grump here today. My bank account I use for the hobby fund got hacked this weekend, going to the bank in a minute to straighten out the damage. Thankfully, I have that account just for online stuff and don't keep a huge amount in it, so it is an annoyance, not a disaster. If you do online banking, set up a protected account, I am SO glad I listened to this advice years ago. Anyway, grump on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
