For the Non-Yankees who don't understand my lingo.... DQ is short for Drama Queen

To me DQ is Dairy Queen.

I stopped by a multi unit garage sale. Treasure house!

I came away with a 4" Wilton vise, splitting maul, several reloading accessories, some shotgun (turkey) ammo and a handful of tools, including a horse hair bench brush.

Dropped $35, but I think the vise alone was worth that.
It is one of the OLD 4" Wiltons where the anvil actually meant you could pound on it.

I've been working for two days to lessen/shorten/corral the overgrown burning bush plants in front of my garage windows.
Filled our trash bin to full, beat it down over and over and still filled it up.

Nothing against burning bushes, but ours have overgrown their space. Five all told and two more out back I plan to chainsaw, drill big holes and dab with Tordon, tape the holes over and let them die.

An overgrown shrub is nothing more than a burglar hidey place and as much as I would set them aright if I had too, I would rather not have to.
This is just home maintenance and I've put it off for too long.

Picked up a shopping worth of roadside litter.  And got rid of a stone from my rock collection.  If it doesn't bring me joy, it's time to go.

Not today, but yesterday, I finished the old cast iron huge electric motor. I completely restored it! New everything, even paint.

A buddy had come by a couple of weeks ago and offered me $$$.

I called and he was here in half an hour. Showed him all about how to change it from 110V to 220V, and reminded him that all the oil zerks are superglued shut, since I replaced the old style bearings with modern sealed units.

Guy did not even balk. I made 190 bucks for doing something I love to do.
He is a decent fellow, now runs a multi generational family fabrication business, promised me a tour and some affordable fabrication work soon.

Yesterday I grocery shopped, fueled the car, and paid bills. Today I did my Saturday housework. :hadron: I also went shopping with my momma and bought three new shirts and a pair of shoes, using the money the boy gave me for Mother's Day. :heart: I also got a head start on tomorrow's cleaning task, and I deep dusted in the boy's room since he's out with friends tonight, so now I wont have to bother him tomorrow.  :thumbup:
