What are you doing right now?

I put in an experimental (redneck engineered) dry sump for in a collection area for rainwater before it goes over the pond bank this spring. it was a 55 gallon barrel with holes drilled in the top and bottom. Then covered in landscape material, set in the hole and covered by a three bags of river rock. First big rain we had it popped out and got stuck. I had a 2" stack pipe in one of the bungs for access but for some reason put a cap on it. Only solution was to pick through all the rock by hand first, then get what was down the sides and holding it cocked.

Got it out but now have to clean out he bottom with my 6 foot auger hole shovel, rock and mud now.

Then I need to drill more holes in it and on the sides too. This time get the pipe straight and I'll put a lot more weight on it at least until the dirt gets settled in around it.

Roasting coffee as it's superior to any commercial artisan roasted coffee I once bought and saving 40-50% in the process. Does take awhile roasting each bean individually with a magnifying glass, but well worth it, bwahahaha...

I like the raspberry filled KK donut and buy them at RaceTrac. 🍩

I bite the donut and squeeze most of the super sweet filling out into trash when I’m at the gas pump.
I hold donut in bag when squeezing, if done correctly my hand stays clean.

Other people pumping gas see this and think I’m crazy for what I’m doing.
That's pretty funny. I haven't made a nutritional/toxicological comparison between the filling and the dough, so I don't know if you'd be better off squeezing the filling in your mouth while dumping the dough. Surely this would make you look more decadent and debauched in most onlookers' eyes!
 
Will be interesting to see if this thread takes off. So, for those that have the time and can safely do so.. Please post up, what you are doing right now.

I will start. Just made some French Toast, about to make some more. Fed everyone. Checked oil level. Now adding NesQuik to my milk.. 2%. Cat has jumped up on table and wants some French Toast and has now approached my plate, lol. Re-directing her to her food.

You?
Watching a thunderstorm creep into and over our area.
 
Late to the show, but these pics are from last week. Supercharged Saturday

Just got back from Blaze Pizza and getting a soda at the gas station. Now watching the Washington Nationals @ Miami Marlins. Go both teams I don’t really have a preference for the two they are both on my meh list lol. Probably go Nationals as the Marlins are wearing their goofy city connect uniforms.
 
This looks like it may be a problem . The water is going to puddle up to the sidewalk and eventually spill over toward the house . Then down the foundation to the basement if you have one . What do you think ?
Not at all. The slope was more before and not even as much as it appears due to camera plus the house is further than it looks plus it’s flat after the sidewalk to the right then a planter

Slightly different view

Downloaded iTunes, working on now adding music to my phone... only had an iPhone for what, 4 years now?

Downloaded the google maps app to my phone, then plugged that into my car today and used the GPS on the car's LCD. Thought I'd hate that thing, but... I kinda liked it... hence putting music onto my phone. Car has some freebie trial of Sirius and I see it's coverage is as good as when I had it 10+ years ago (as in, it drops out kinda often). If I'm not careful I'm going to start liking this new fangled tech.

Watching a video on a revival of a Case tractor while wondering why the heck did I think biking 32 miles today was a good idea, I'm moving pretty slow now...
 
Just watching baseball and chilling. The nieces and nephews are over. Man they are annoying but they are kids lol. Got two packs of baseball cards at the gas station. Has a Wander Franco card in one of the packs that might be worth some money one day. The one yesterday had a Juan Soto one in it valued at $13 so I’m happy about that.

Watching the Colorado Rockies @ Baltimore Orioles. I want the Rockies to do well just as I do every team but go Orioles it’s 5-4 Baltimore in the bottom of the 8th. Might order a Rockies hat later haven’t decided what one I want yet so many good teams to choose.
