I worked my ass off this weekend.
Saturday I went and bought myself a new pair of work boots. My previous pair had work through the sole, so my feet were getting wet all the time. That gets pretty painful after a while. I also bought a couple of pairs of new socks, my old ones had too many holes in them

Then I came home and got to work. Mrs Zog and I had wanted a bird bath for a while now, but they are pretty expensive. But I had a brainwave

When we moved into the house there was a satellite dish on the roof. I took it down a few days ago because I don't want it up there. Looks kak, and just another thing to give the wind purchase in a hurricane and rip my roof off. I took the dish apart, and saved the two adjustable legs for possible use in another project. Then I moved the dish mounting bracket from the one end to the center, and mounted the dish on a recycled fence post in the bottom of the garden. Made sure that it was perfectly level, filled it with water, and put a rock in the middle for the birdies to sit on. And now we wait for the birdies to find it and start using it

Then I tacked the fence again. Dug another two holes and planted another two fence posts, secured with concrete. Then I stripped off another sectionof the inside fence slats and managed to salvage the majority of them for use again. By then it was just too hot to continue, so I called it "time", and came indoors where the AC was working. A short while later my friend called me to let me know he was home. He had asked me to install two new inside doors for him at his house, and we had arranged that I would do it Saturday afternoon.
I packed up my tools, had a shower, and Mrs Zog and I headed over. Pulling into his driveway I noticed a brand new bike. Ralph had the previous week purchased himself a new Indian cruiser. I completely forgot to take a pic, sorry guys. But it is matt black, and styled like a Harley. Very nice

He had been up in Daytona for the day (it is currently Bike Week up there) and has also booked it in at a customiser up there after bike week to cusomise it. Air suspension that lifts the back up and down, and fitting a massive front wheel (I think he mentioned 32 inch

) so it will looks pretty sweet. Not my style at all, but whatever floats his boat...
I fitted the two new doors, using my router and a special jig to cut the pockets for the hinges. Then we had a lekker shrimp dinner that his wife had made. Lekker man!

Today was a weird day. When I woke up I had automatically lost an hour of sleep, today the clocks went forward an hour for daylight savings time. So now we are back to just 6 hours behind you guys and not seven.
I did a few quieter jobs inside my workshop, then at 10 am I got back to the fence. Dug another hole and planted another fence post. Then stripped off the slats from another two sections, salvaging them for re use. Then I built another two sections of fence using the reclaimed materials. But it was hot. Super hot and incredibly humid too. I was soaked with sweat, even Mrs Zog turned her nose up at me.

After the fence was done (not finished, but about 2/3rds done now on the west side) I mowed the grass (decided not to do weed eating, I was just too fucked). Then set the sprinklers to water, and went to the liquor store and got a dozen beers

Mrs Zog cooked us a very lekker chicked curry with dates and dried apricots

washed down with an ice cold beer.
Life is good.

I didn't get any pics, same old same as the previous pics of the fence. Boring. I'll get some pics when it is done, just for perspective. But I'll get some pics of my satellite dish bird bath when I have daylight at home...
Thanks for reading. Have a great week guys & girls
