Today I wrangled horses (they got out again) and mended some fences. Both vehicles are in the shop right now so I did a bunch of walking to take care of the animals. I broke out the chainsaw and cut down some brush along the driveway that has been hitting the truck when I go to get in or out. I also did some investigating on a few 55 gallon steel drums we have kinda near to the house. 4 are totally full of something, I have no idea what and one was almost empty. I decided to make the empty one into a burn barrel so I took the sawz-all to the lid and then broke out the mini-14 and shot a bunch of holes in it, then used it to burn some trash we had sitting around. All in all a pretty productive saturday.

Oh yeah. It was fun shooting off a few rounds. Nice gun

Spotted, you should get a Haynes manual. That and the cost of a $250 tool set will allow you to fix damn near anything on those vehicles.

I'm not the car repair kind of girl. There is a lot I know how to do but I have no interest in trying to figure out car mechanics!

thats why you make the boys do it with the promise of a big hearty meal and hug, not that they need that to help you, but it will make them work faster :)

well I was hoping to bottle some wine, but there was to much yeast residue yet, so I ended up racking it again
