Even with the hair dye, I don't look quite that good...
You can have mine if you want, but it's just made from turned Ash like most of the rest of 'em.That's sounds cool. I would like a Louisville made from uru metal...
Maybe you can...
I'll keep that in mind.didn't think about that part, but given that most of you guys know the where abouts the others live, I feel fairly comfortable with having given that bit of information. Besides, there's still a lot of houses between where I live and work. However, if ever any of you guys come out this way, I can certainly give you guys some places to visit...and be willing to meet up for a beer or two.
As do we all.I have a honey do list...I have no idea where said list is, but I do have one.
Four glorious hours of bliss.At least you get to work from home though.
Well...We can all accelerate retirement to tomorrow, depending on what you want retirement to look like.
Don't sell yourself short.Even with the hair dye, I don't look quite that good...
BTW, should I know who that is?
I'm suspecting it's a still from a film or such.
I think we've all been over our head in Vegas at some point or other buddy. Good luck on that retirement plan. I have a princely contact in Nigeria who may be able to help you out with an investment opportunity, he keeps emailing me about it.Blackhawks are in over their heads with Vegas
As long as there's a happy ending to the story.
ahem
Enjoy the time off mate. It's nice to be able to knock a few off on vacation.No major plans for the time off. There’s the inevitable honey do list so I’ll try to knock a couple things off that.
Likewise, if your ever in London, just ask anyone for Dan the Disdad. They will totally give me a call and I'll pop down to you. (This is a summation of about 25 conversations with some randoms I've met in parks who say things like "I have a cousin in Norwich. Do you know the Norwich Richardson's?), at which point I smile politely)However, if ever any of you guys come out this way, I can certainly give you guys some places to visit...and be willing to meet up for a beer or two.
Or I could just goof off...
Learning. Always good.
That all sounds really good. Looks like they'll keep you.
Morning all. Tennis last night and tonight as well, although I'm hoping for a rainout. Our Socialist Governor extended mask orders and delayed face to face in schools until after fall Break, which begs the question, if masks work, then why the continued shutdown. Colleges remain in session though (for now). Ugh.
50 states have different rules. Some have "stand your ground" laws and others have "proportionate response" laws. Then you have to consider the subjectivity of the police, prosecutor, and now Karen in social media. What if the trespasser is stealing, vandalizing, or threatening on your property? Can you use lethal force? How "far" does a woman have to be sexually assaulted before being allowed to use lethal force? Sometimes, we are too concerned with the rights of the criminal over the rights of the victim.
Whale watching sounds fun, other than looking at myself in the mirror. We will plan it one day.
We live in a rather safe area here as well. I've met up with some of this group and some from FB at WDW, Huber Farms, Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville, and even a Walmart parking lot. That last one sounds suspicious. Philip in Nashville came by my house when he drove up to take a test for the USPS. I guess the origins of these boards had some type of anonymity, but I try to treat people the same way I would in person. Maybe it's a southern hospitality thing, but I'd invite most to my home to share a meal.
Who hasn't peed on the deck yet? Your boss or the dog?
I'll keep that in mind.
We all know the general whereabouts of most of the regulars, but not too many specifics. Cape Cod is a fairly large area so it's just interesting to see what general part of it you call home.
If you're ever traveling along I-77 near the NC/SC boarder, Holler out and I'll offer up a beer or two form one of our local breweries.
As do we all.
It's that inaccessibility that makes it such a useful tool for those who are the keepers of said list.
Morning brethren, hopefully your morning started better than mine, its been 90f here for about a week, so as I took the bins out this morning my bin store look like some kind of fly sex dungeon with maggots everywhere. Not the nicest scene to set you up for the day. Hey ho.
Only a few calls today so might actually get some work done, rather than talking about getting work done with 8 other people who all just ask me to do it anyways. Or I could just goof off and watch MLB or Youtube all day.

Agreed....he's a sod.Toronto John? He owes me money as well. The old rotter.
Chat I was on was full of Canadians and as my Canadaize is rusty, I had a hard time understanding them...
Well...
If I retire tomorrow, it'll look a lot like foraging through dumpsters for dinner and sleeping under a bridge 'cause there ain't no room in the homeless shelter.
Have a great day fellas, just 28 more hours until I can call it, and then your weekend starts. Apart from CCT, he's got that "new job keenness" thing going on, so he'll probably stay on. And the Chief obviously, but he's the Chief so he can do what he likes. And Jeff's on holiday. And Darcy's probably watching hockey re-runs for his "keeping in touch with sport" time (that's a sweet office set up by the way my friend). And Mike's got his Scrooge McDuck Calculator and an actuarial table out. And Mark's on vacation, so is on restricted shovel leaning duties. And Norm is about 8 minutes from retiring. And I'm on here writing nonsense as usual.
I've always wanted to ask someone that if masks worked, why do we still smell someone's fart if it's coming through their underwear and pants? I have no problem wearing a mask, but that's a question I've always wanted an answer to.
That's what he said?It was wet and thick, scraping out the bottom several times to make it thru.
DD has friend who just moved to London (husband is military) and they were dying with the heat and no AC. Just got temporary AC unit yesterday. I have been in Europe during record highs on business and the lack of AC and Ice we yanks are used to was brutal.Morning brethren, hopefully your morning started better than mine, its been 90f here for about a week, so as I took the bins out this morning my bin store look like some kind of fly sex dungeon with maggots everywhere.

Great pic, they grow up too tang fast don;t theyMorning All.
Beautiful morning but is going to heat up again to those same levels as Dan's London. We just following the Queen. Today was a scheduled run day but soccer last night put that on hold. 90 minutes at center back and it felt like we were laying under water. It was so humid things on the bench looked like they were left out in the rain.
Hope you all have a great Thursday. Time for another TBT.

Top O Mornin Dads and happy Friday Eve! DS returns to college starting next week so we are heading there Saturday with him to complete the transition to his studio apartment. We usually stay a night over the weekend there in Chattanooga as move-in weekend since DD started college has always been DW birthday. Under the circumstances we decided to do a down an back same day. He has made a couple of trips to his new place off campus so won't be as much to help him with plus I keep saying he's 23 let him do it but DW still wants to play mom. Stay safe and looking forward to the weekend.
