Nice ride! Love how they aren’t small pickups anymore. They’ve come a loooong way from being the 88 S-10 I drove

Nice truck. Congrats @ColbyLang

Thanks, I am ready for a road trip out west and try out those locking diffs and skid plates.

My bad @rlew. Tagged the wrong person. You’ll have fun in that truck.

The kitchen remodel is complete.  However, that led to more upgrades.  Hired a contractor (good guy) and he refinished a small staircase (hardwood stairs and trim) and is painting the living room, dining room and ceilings.

Can't wait to be done with all of this and relax.

No socks on hardwood stairs!

A new car’s worth of stone retaining walls and stone steps around the house. I’ve kicked the can down the road for a couple of years since we moved in. I loathe spending money on replacement/repair items. Build sh!t right the first time.

That's why I am still planning my patio/pool/grilling area. I'm going to have to do a wall somewhere, not sure where yet.

one of my next projects is the retaining wall on the lake, who builds a house 5 feet from the lakes edge. i see all kinds of permits and extra expenses for that

Yuck, that'll be expensive and probably tricky. My wall I may have to do will only be a few feet high to separate some area.

The question is who buys the house?

I just made a bbq rub collaboration. I had a bunch of bottles laying around with an inch or so in them, and haven't used them since they were low and not enough for a cook. 

Weber KC bbq rub, plowboys yardbird, weber dry rub, meat church honey hog hot, and some Southside market bbq original. 


I ran the weber KC  bbq stuff through a sifter to get most of the big sugar chunks out. 

It's pretty good, a little spicy hot with a great spice flavor that doesnt taste like anything I've had before. It's going on a Boston butt later today. 

I put it all in a big Tupperware, and as I run low on other rubs they will get added to continue this orphan rub concoction.  I got about 2 cups total from these bottles.

the asking price was extremely low and i went in 20 percent lower than that and waited them out.  This might turn into a night project next fall when they drain the lake

Just drove by a condo complex construction site. Crews were busy shoveling snow off the roofs so they could keep going on the shingles.

We got some from ohana a couple years ago. Went with sunbrella and they are great. Take the covers off and throw them in the washing machine and they look brand new again. https://www.ohanawickerfurniture.com/

Being able to dispense ranch dressing from the toe of a stocking hanging on the mantle in my den is an innovation I wasn't aware of. But, now that I am I'm pretty sure I need it.

Saw this at the grocery store last night, and I have a weakness for these things:
 

 
Between this and Twinkies Cereal*, I'm gonna weigh 400 pounds.

Just bought an iPad Pro.  This this is the bomb.  I’m actually glad that POS stole my MacBook Air!  He did me a favor.

I've been looking really hard at those; I tried a Wacom tablet with my iMac, never did like the interface.  Are you doing photo editing with it?

Costco shopping cart so far. 

This is going to hurt. 

God help the employee that has to check your receipt against your cart.
