One down-

 One to go.

Unloaded that cheap AR with the guy I buy hay from and now to see what I can get for the Beretta.
So my wallet won't hurt so much when I buy this handsome guy.

Just ranting

 

So I just got back from running errands in town.
On the way there our rock station "106.7 the Eagle SCreeEEEEeeee.... San Antonio's only rock station" (and it's 125 song library🙄) decided to play the album version of one of the songs I can't stand-
Simple man--
I hit that power button as fast as I used to do when the news tried to force me to hear a soundbite from their black Jeezus from 1012-2016. Every time I checked on that 15 minute ride on FM 466 to town the f*cking thing was still playing.
Got done shopping and headed home to be hit with
Sister Christian-
Another song I can't stand and never could hear the lyrics even when I could hear. "Sister Christian, mumble mumble mumble Motoring mumble mumble mumble Motoring.......
Then after that the played that damn
Freebird- 
 
 
SHIT! Let me put in a BTO CD, at least I can stand that music-- AND it's playing some of the MANY songs that "The only rock station in San Antonio" doesn't have in it's library.

There is absolutely nothing square at Snakebit acres.

 I pulled measurements off two fences to get a rough layout for the batter boards. Every time I walked a 90 degree measurement, I was off by three feet.

I thought I was having some kind of navigation problem.
THEN- after setting batter boards for the short side, I used the measurements (off the other fence) for the long side.
After setting the two parallel string lines, I squared up it and barely had space to do it. 
Now I'm going to have to get the wife involved.

....Or use 6' batter boards set 6' away from where I think they need to be.

On Veterans Day

 Tommy
~~Rudyard Kipling~~

I went into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer, 
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here." 
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die, 
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I: 
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away"; 
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play, 
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.  

I went into a theatre as sober as could be, 
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me; 
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls, 
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls! 
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide, 
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.  

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap. 
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit. 
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll, 
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes," when the drums begin to roll. 

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too, 
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you; 
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints, 
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints; 
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Tommy, fall be'ind," 
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind, 
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind. 

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all: 
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational. 
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace. 
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot; 
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please; 
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!
