    @Strigidae
    I’m pretty sure I saw it on Instagram.. But after searching extensively through pictures and posts I can’t find it..
    When I find my Leather working box I’ll have to make something similar. I’ve honestly never been to big of a fan of leather outdoor gear (except sheaths). But this one seems to make a lot of sense!

    You were 100% correct. It was in my shoulder blade. I didn't get a tennis ball though, I got one of those ball massagers and some icy hot. Wait.. That didn't sound right.. Anyway!..!... It helped tremendously! Thank you again man, I really do appreciate it!!

    Bought a “new “ door with frame from a Habitat store.
    Everything appeared to line up so I removed my old front door. It unfortunately would only come apart in pieces…
    Installed new door frame and went to hang the door.. Hinges and lock holes would not line up..
    Door would not work as it..
    Ended up going “old school” and swapped the hinge sides and drilled new lock holes..
    Def not a project for a weekend DIY project…
    Only took about 10 hours (with a short lunch break and the occasional home repair manual reading and how to googling) working by myself to prep the frame. Hang the door, attach a storm and then install insulation and door molding…
    Now I have a Awesome looking front door and a good refresher on carpentry skills..

    Y'all be careful, it's hot out there. I tried to do some mowing this morning. I had to take the tractor to town to get fuel, it was 1200 by the time I got started mowing. By 1300 I was getting light headed and breathing hard. It probably was because of the Lisinopril I started taking last fall. One of my coworkers said he had to get off of it because it made him feel like he was dieing when he worked outside. It was only 92 here but the heat index is 108. The heat from the tractor sure didn't help. I have to wear long pants to keep it from cooking my left leg.

    They had me on lisinopril at first also and had the same issues, along with a really bad cough from it. They switched me to carvedilol and it's worked great.

    I am about 95% sure that a seller tried to Scam me on a Camera Lens purchase. (50mm lens type)

    I watched the price go down over a months time and finally bought it at a STEAL price!! As Is / No Warranty purchase.

    I took it home and it didn’t focus at all. A few weeks later now I decided to carefully take it apart as the worst I could do is break it more..

    Within 5 minutes I was able to disassemble, “Unfreeze” the focusing knob gear and have it reassembled!

    I’ve been killing it since then with outdoors photos..

    I think I have discovered my new favorite “multipurpose” outdoors lens!

    Canon EF 50mm 1.4 USM. It’s the Ultrasonic Gold ring version. NOT your standard 50mm lens.
    The big bonus is that it is small enough that I can throw it in a backpack etc and go. Most of my other lens are bigger then my camera itself..

    Can't deny that the 2022 Subaru Outback Touring car is a great price considering all that it comes with. The only extra option I would add is the moonroof air deflector. But it is hard to justify buying it since my 2008 Outback has 225,000 miles and still going strong.

    I still have 50-75 plus moving and storage boxes I have not unpacked.. (Packers used A LOT of small boxes to keep the weight of the individual boxes down)
    Somewhere in those boxes I still cannot find my Knife and tool Sharpening / maintenance “Box” and my cordage/ small accessory’s/ small parts “Box”
