Father's Day on a Beautifully Sublime Sunday

hEY yALL, i AINT DEAD YET

Nope just working them 14 hour days, seven days a week πŸ™ƒ

Yes of course my neighbor got a nice new Bennington pontoon. Can you say $$$ as in mucho dinero? A 25 footer with a nice 300hp Merc is just north of 100g's. Hey I cant even afford to gas one anymore :( Of course our little spot on the water is sans dock and sans boat... What a miserable year, am I right?!?

It was indeed Father's Day here in the US. A day that is set apart to honor fathers. In my mind such a day should include a fair amount of pampering and relaxing for dad...

Pfft As If! But I can wish, right. Wishing is still free, no?

As can be plainly seen from the Father Day gifts, my future surely will consist of more work or a casket, that much I can assure you!

I have never used one of these orbital multi tools, but they are really the rage. I have seen guys us them and always thought it would be handy to have one. I am a fan of Rigid tools. They just seem to work without any extra fanfare or fan-boying.

These things can do everything, so I am looking for dishes scrubber...

No laundry function? What kind of POS is this anyways lol.


The Beautiful Sunday and Sublime Sunday tags are some of my faves! I want to thank @ace108 for running the beautiful Sunday tag every week and keeping such detailed stats and supporting the accounts. Also, a shout out to @c0ff33a for the sublime Sunday tag where your random Sunday posts are always welcome!

I cut up the last piece of old heavy 10 foot dock. Cutting and trimming the jungle a bit.

Who ever (if anyone does) buys this place will drop 50 to 100 on landscaping, so I am not going over board. The way it is going, perhaps I could trade the house for a full tank of diesel?!?

Ben's idea to tear into the janky steps I had temporarily put in. I helped him dig out some root balls, but the rest is on him. I mean its not like we are in a hurry to sell the place. Real estate is moving like a jet pointed straight at the ground, so what's the rush?!? Plus, I liked my old stairs, janky or not lol.

For sustenance, I did broil up some taters and found a little spot amongst the cans of paint to wolf down a Father's Day favorite!

I hope you all are doing much better than I am. For now, I will just keep livin that dream baby!

Stop making me jelly! It's not fair for you to have all that fun!

It is in Ben's interest to have the house sell for more money! It's his inheritance we are talking about. You know, in case that workload puts you in the ground. Sheesh! You can't blame a boy for trying, can you?

All kidding aside, there is always a lot of work to get a house up for sale, especially when you have lived there a while. Good luck in making your goal. Seems like you are chugging right along!!

Looks like Father's Day was a total success! I was hoping you wouldn't have to cook!

Seriously. If you feel that bad, you should probably see a doctor!

You sure go through a lot of trouble before you sell the house.
Need all the calories to re-energize to continue the work.
You should check if you are losing weight. haha.

Yeah I think many people tend to try to fix them up as much as possible. We are all chasing that top dollar selling price lol.

Happy Belated Father's Day.

Looks like it's all about work these days, but I know it all has to be done.

Some fun tools will make it go better I am sure.

A boat over 100K? Wowee !

I can see a regular boat or even a ski boat going that high, but a pontoon...seems a bit high to me!
