Not much going on here.  Decided to wait till tomorrow to get some supplies.  Don't really need but Hy-Vee has a BOGO sale with some stuff we use.  Made a pasta casserole thing with mostly odds and ends yesterrday in the 7 quart inside oven.  Need to bag, mark and freeze.  Got at least a couple weeks of frozen homemade meals in the freezer.

Howdy folks, was busy at the LGS today, there were just two of us and we were hopping all day. Had a good week this week. Picked up the Missus' 40th Anniversary gift this week, had her wedding diamond remounted into a new band that she picked up and is thrilled with it. Yesterday a friend helped me with a Stoeger shotgun, showing me several tricks to smooth it up, a really nice couple of hours. Temps have finally gotten back to normal, running in the upper 80s and not as humid.

Went and got my second of 4th a year haircut, had a coupon.
It's some ridicules the cost, VS what little hair I have left.  ::)
So, I fight back with just 4 visits yearly and the coupon which saves me $6 (course I still tip the girl)
Gas was down a bit, so I filled up.  A nap was in order!

This morning, I chained saw a couple of branches hanging over my driveway. They were nearly reaching the SUV's as you drove down and out. (or IN).
One has to work early before the sun gets to mid-morning, reached 97° yesterday.

I get a haircut once a year. The Boss is not happy with my long hair. She says I look like an old hippy.

My Missus started cutting my hair during the China Flu Lockdown and still does it and does a fine job too.

Regarding haircuts.... For nearly 15 years I did not cut my hair, either tied it up in a ponytail with leather thongs or asked SWMBO to braid it for special events, usually special dinners, powows, etc.

Then in 2006 while working on the New Mexico house I had some close calls with ladders and power tools and gave myself a buzz cut.

It was oddly.... Refreshing.

Since them I followed youtoob directions to cut it myself when it began to irritate me. In prior times that was "overheating" or scratchy on the neck, but these days it gets cut whenever the hair starts to rustle my hearing aids lol .....

When I was an early teen, my hair was silky fine, long, and sun-lightened, in a surfer cut.
It never reached my shoulders, but close enough.
Later, thru adulthood it was all so often well over my ears and off the collar.

Somewhere in my 4 decade I began to part it in the middle, not by choice BTW.
Now days I maintain the shag around a nude beach.

Goodevening all, a few sprinkles today 83 right now. Put some seat covers on my Kia Carnival today, my holstered gun was rubbing the seat material. Then after that started fighting with a new laptop, it seems really nice, my old one is starting to have "issues", so doing a download/backup of the old one to a hard drive while the new one does it's stuff. Gonna work tomorrow, yesterday was a decent day there. Supposed to be in the 80s here the rest of the week with rain most days, then drying out and up to the low 90s [normal] the next week. My Dad said when I was a kid that I was gonna have a haircut short enough that folks would know I was a boy from any direction, guess I just got used to it, I've always kept it short.

Finally got back in, had trouble with it and some other stuff after the big crash thingy. ::)  Not much going on. just keep plugging at stuff.  I'm ready to get some stuff from the shed, she has lots to go. 

Had it cut twice since we retired in early 2019, both freebies in rehab hospitals.
