What Are You Doing Right Now?

Well. Our trip to Italy is getting real now. Just got this from our airline. This time tomorrow, we’ll be boarding for 9 enjoyable non stop hours to Rome. Then a short flight to Sardinia. And a rental car to get us to our rental home. Let the fun times begin.

Have a great time. I would move to Italy in a heartbeat. After so many years of busting my ass, Italian time was like a life saver the first time I went there. Get used to things moving slower. You will love it. Four hours for dinner, no problem. An hour to relax with a cappuccino and watch the world go by, perfect. I've never been to Sardinia, but everyone I know who have been there, love it. Send us lots of photos.
 
Today I got out with the 45/70 and hiked a few miles.
Then I decided to take the 4x4 Jeep trail down off the rim from Schnebly hill into Sedona.
That took a long time, and beat up my truck, my back, and my kidneys too!
Anyhow I grabbed a few pics in case anyone is interested.

Today I spent half the day under the Jeep.
(My son and I are resurrecting a 2001 grand Cherokee limited to turn it into hunting and fishing rig and to teach him how to turn a wrench.)

I replaced motor mounts today. What a pain in the arse! The new ones are just a hair offset, so you have to fight the dang things in a bind the whole time. Frustrating even with all the tricks I know.

Here's the only picture I took of one of them coming out.

Just installed granite countertops in the wife’s She Shed. These were pieces from our previous house where we did a kitchen remodel in 2016. I cut these 2 end pieces from the island top with a grinder. It was by far the messiest job I ever did. I tented the island in plastic and using a grinder with a respirator and goggles would cut for about 30 seconds and then exit the tent and let the dust settle. Took hours for each cut.

Apparently not walking. Hiking a rocky path today and decide to crash and burn. And I’d already cleaned it up a bit when I took the photo.

What’s funny is. I had just stopped my 10 year old out control grandson from running all Willy nilly down the rocky path…. When I gave him a hands on demonstration why he should slow down. The things grandpas will do as a teaching moment for their grandkids. :pound-hand:
