Maggie’s What's Your View II

[91Eunozs]

Have a view all the way to my neighbor’s house now!

…because we now have stairs!

Leading up to the open storage area off the garage, and above the casita/pool house/air-conditioned reloading room.

Can’t wait to get this finished so I can a lift in here…changed the oil in my MIL’s car last night, and swapped back to the street tires/brake pads on my track car today after an Auto-X. All done with ramps, jacks, and crawling around on my hands and knees on a concrete floor in our attached garage.

Gettin’ too old and broken for that shit.

So glad we went with 16’ headers for the garage so I get a huge lift that I can walk under with my truck on top! I’m a hair over 6’1” in those shoes…the head room is in a word: AWESOME!

A lift, properly used, will add years of usefulness to your life.

Morning!

Yesterday, hiking Haleakala Crater in Maui

Rifle opener went about like bow opener. Didn't find a buck but I put a beat down on my boots

Lightning storm rolled through....started a fire right on my exit trail. Luckily it put itself out by morning.

Not right now but a few weekends ago. Camping at Snow Mountain Ranch near Granby, Co

@The D

Nice spot.

If you like the area, I know a lot of good off grid spots not far from there.

Not everyone is as nuts as me and knowing a few places away from folks is good.

Very nice.

Help me understand please? I see filing cabinet drawers in the first pic, but not in the 2nd! You built a “cover door” for lack of better words?

That is exactly what I said to my wife. And what the Contractor said when we did our walkthrough on Friday!

LoL

The drawers open on the "away" side in the second pic.

Using a compass rose, drawers open to the East, thermometers and temp probe points to the South, Traeger feeder and controls on the West, nothing on the North (toward the wall).

Fire insulated file cabinet, inch and a half insulation all round. Heavy. Kinda happy with the way it came out.

Thank you,
MrSmith

Beautiful range day yesterday. Couldn’t convince him to try the Tacops.

Wile E. got away Saturday night. Had to make sure it wasn’t something besides me. The nut behind the wheel fouled it up as usual

 

[TurdFerguson]

Warbler of some sorts crashed into a privacy fence. Hungout for a bit.

Fucking PawPaws everywhere.... Ran into a big Red Oak 54 inch diameter

@91Eunozs

Sorry if I missed it.
What did you do in the floor to mount the lift?

Nothing special except to confirm 4K+ psi rating (would have been good at 3K), and min thickness of 8”… Got closer to a foot by the time it was leveled, so I should be gtg.

First ever balloon ride today. It was awesome.

And the landing. Apparently our group is on 9News at 6 for the 'Feel Good Friday' segment.

 

[Jefe's Dope]

My wife received a ride from her girls at work for her 50th B-day this last July. She added me and today was the day.

Which balloon were you in?

 

[SEMO Shooter]

We did a balloon ride two weeks ago in South Dakota. My first time and I really enjoyed it.

No, I have not. Didn't even know they had one there. I'm only familiar with Albuquerque one.

1: figures you were in the rainbow one….


2: those Flatirons look so small.
Funny, the 3rd seems decent sized when you are 30’ above your last pro and holds are small…..

Maybe have to get the name of the company.
Several friends and my daughter all want to do this.

The one in Snowmass is amazing. All of the cool hot air balloon stuff but in Snowmass in the fall. It’s usually in the middle of September sometime. My wife and I got married in Aspen on the same weekend several years ago and got some amazing wedding pics. It’s such a good time, you should definitely check it out

Fair Winds. Jeff was our pilot. He seemed to be 'in charge' and the most experienced.

Did some moon watching the other night. Not great photos, but some decent ones

PRS 1 day match at MKM Precision today. A little foggy this morning. The first and second pic are of the 1000 yard range with the fog. The last pic is what it looks like without fog. Lol

Atmosphere is part of the challenge. If you can’t deal with it stick to BB guns.

Can’t be unfair when everyone shoots a zero score.

What’s your setup?

We took the kids to a stargazing presentation at a national park last summer and have done a bit while camping this summer. I’m trying to convince the finance dept to release funds for a telescope for camping next summer

We used to have a setup for stargazing, but it was just a cheap one the kids got at some science store

These pics were taken from my Leupold Alpine SX-2 HD, 20-60x60 spotting scope off my tripod. Used an iPhone 13 for camera, so nothing super special

Lol, I’m going to keep this post hidden from my wife. I not-so-secretly want a pretty nice telescope

Can you get a telescope with a mil reticle? Might do pretty good double duty as a spotting scope.

Hmmm, I like the way you’re thinkin. Will check into it

Daughter was home for the weekend…first weekend home since we dropped her off for her freshman year at college a couple months ago. So we took her, her boyfriend, as well as our son and daughter-in-law (and our grand puppy) out for a late lunch before she headed back to school.

Good food, good drinks, and good times…

edit: cleaning out the phone; forgot I took this pic from the night before. Her home-made dinner request:

Downtown Vancouver from Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas cruise ship. We’re sailing to Hawaii over the next week and change then staying a few extra days to do island stuff. You clowns are going to get a bit of a reprieve from my foolishness for a bit, we purposefully declined a Wi-Fi package to do cruise activities. But don’t get too comfy, I’m coming back with a vengeance. Be prepared

Took the bikes out for a rip around the Iron Range in Northern Minnesota.

If it wasn’t for iron ore, Northern Minnesota would be flat as a pancake.

Couple weeks ago enjoying the trails of south Colorado.

Stop and short hike Black Mountain trail near Hillsboro WV. On the scenic highway.
