Range day and finishing up a 6.5 Creedmoor and taking my shots with a Barrett 50cal. 
I made the mistake of telling my mother I had to wake up early to take my friend to the store. Sticking to her pattern, she woke me up in the middle of the night. She always does this when she knows I have to get up early. I don't know if it's deliberate or subconscious. But she does it without fail. So, I haven't been able to get back to sleep. I completed my sketch/plans for the modifications to my well system. I uploaded on another forum but it shrunk the size of the image. I need to find a place to upload where it will show the full size because the writing is illegible in the shrunken version.
Waiting for my alarm to go off so I can get up and go get my friend for the Lowes trip. Planning to stop by a place that sells metal and wood buildings. They do delivery, leveling, building on site, etc. Going to price out a barn. They have one about the right size. They also had a shed my friend described as "perfect".
I'll have to get some stall mats for the barn but I found a 12'x12' kit at TractorSupply for a decent price.
Of course I'm starting to feel tired now and will likely nap before it's time to wake up. LOL.

I get about 6 hrs a night. I don’t sleep much.
Get a geriatric dog. This guarantees you will only get 5 hours of sleep before the dog needs out, needs pills or needs water.
Or a cat that paws you to get out then knocks on your doors snd windows to get back inside.
She says Happy Happy Mardi Gras now I’m going to eat you.
neither do I. I am some type of insomniac. Honestly, 5 hours feels like a full nights sleep. The company I work for is regarded as the best commercial plumbing company in the region so we get a lot of high end contracts. And, high end people require us to work in their buildings at night so their office tenants don’t see unsightly construction workers during working hours!
Perfect for me since I’m an insomniac & workaholic. I have day jobs and night jobs. In 2019 over the year I averaged 72 hours a week. I have projects that start before 7am and projects that start at 6pm. I have two sets of helpers, day helpers that get their 40, and night helpers that get their 30 hours automatic overtime pay for night work.
Yeah, that’s a nice perk.
As you know there is a “skilled” plumber shortage. Well, around here we have a general plumber shortage. If we can get a foreman hired here, after 3 months we both get a $1,000 hire bonus
So far this week’s sleep.
M - 2 hours sleep
T - 3 hours sleep
W - 30 min sleep
T - 6 hours sleep
I’m feeling well rested after last night.
Taking off today for the funeral. Work again tonight. Currently waiting on a haircut.
I know I’m doing overall damage to my bodyI just have too much fun awake to sleep. Fun at work too
I just F’d up. Rolled my ankle in my backyard on some little shrubs my boy cut off 3” from the ground.
It’s swollen up and I’m layed up. I have my wife digging in medicine for some pain pillz.
This will cost me about 3-4K in missed laborZ.

I’ve been told I have bird legs but really that’s not true, I just can bench press about 400lbs. So the proportions are off
I’m freakin hurt brother I just chewed up a pain pill tho so hopefully it’ll ease up. Hope I don’t have to run from anybody.
Elevate and ice, my friend.
I’m so bummed. I’m taking my boys fishing tomorrow at a private lake that hasn’t been fished in a while and it’s located on land where farm run off doesn’t get in there. Stocked with bass, catfish and blue Gill.
Now I’m a freakin laid up, I’m still going tho
I’m supposeto be getting all the crap together. Tackle and stuff

Meet Sammy Jr.

I think we need to start a go fund me for Sammy. Jr
Was he too big for a DWV funeral ? Is it dead ? Kill it !!!!!
I had a customer flush fish guts down his toilet because his disposal was broke.,
Yeah, not sure why I saved it but I’m going to let it go somewhere on the way home. Just felt right.
My friends have a double wide in a field and a mouse in the house happens sometimes. It’s the first time they seen one in their toilet. That goes for me to too, seeing that thing swimming as soon as I turned on the light! LOL
Made me do a double take on those AR’s. Mega machine is a 1/2 mile from my in-laws place. I drive by them all the time. They make some damn fine parts!Range day and finishing up a 6.5 Creedmoor and taking my shots with a Barrett 50cal.

They were bought out by someone, I don’t think they make AR’s any longer under the mega name. I could be wrong, I haven’t really checked deep into it. But I will now ✌ Iknow the price for them is Higher than a giraffes ass.Made me do a double take on those AR’s. Mega machine is a 1/2 mile from my in-laws place. I drive by them all the time.
