If You Didn't Do Anything RC Related, What Did You Do, Today?

Took the last few days off, with today being the final day off. I made it a very productive day. With all the kids back at school and Mrs. X at work, I had the place to myself and got to being productive, uninterrupted.
Started off with an hour on the treadmill, and after breakfast, I gathered all the trash and recyclables and hit the town's transfer station. On the way home, swung by Tractor Supply Co to stock up on wood pellets for the stove and salt for the ice on the driveway.
After the pellets were put away and the melting salt applied, I ran through a couple of magazines with my airgun. Temp was only in the 20's, but with no wind draft and full sun, it was surprisingly comfortable, outside.
After my little shooting break, I got on the task of putting the Xmas trees and ornaments back up to the attic. Once the Xmas stuff was finished, I decided to do a bit of vacuuming. Afterwards, figured it was a good a time as any to clear the rollers, on the upright and Roomba, of tangled hair.
While working on the rollers, I hear a vehicle in the driveway. It was Amazon. One of the packages, was a new mini blind for the master bathroom. Went ahead and put that up. Last task, before calling it a day and for dinner, was the arduous task of scraping the now softened ice off the driveway.
Felt great about a very productive day while I'm chowing down on a well-deserved dinner.

It's amazing how good it feels to get a bunch of chores checked of the to do list. :thumbs-up:
 
Moved junk for preparation

put some stuff away and shuffled stuff around in the garage. found the workbench and made a home for the winter beater so its not just on the floor in front of the workbench anymore.
finally (safely) cut that fart i mentioned in the rants thread.
ate some pizza with the dog.
there are more productive things i could be doing, but between laziness and procrastination it just aint happening.
 
I usually turn on the ham radio and make a few contacts each morning. I've made contacts in 149 countries so far. Today, I got an e-mail from a Parks On The Air activator who records his activations and sends links to the folks who made contact with him. (Parks On The Air is a program where hams set up portable equipment in parks and try to make contacts with other ham radio operators https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parks_On_The_Air )

Here's the segment of my recorded contact with him back in October-- the link to that part of his YouTube video is the title in the lower box. https://ve2zdx.com/toolkit/youtube/videos/ALL?callsign=KD2TTM

Even though it only got up to 36°F, it felt like a sunny spring day to me. So, I'd decided to fill up my large 9 liter carbon fiber air tank to 4500psi. This tank is used for quickly charging up my airguns. Afterwards, I grabbed a snow shovel, and dug my way to my 25-30yd shooting range and freed up the targets.
Sent some pellets down range just to stay with the airgun shooting theme.
