TSCLT 7.0: Hemis, Harleys, Hooters-n-Harridans

[JohnnySavage]

Speaking of PBR... Saturday after golf I was sitting on the drinking porch at the Legion with some buddies. Having two or a dozen PBRs and an Amish guy on a horse came galloping down the middle of the street. At first I thought someone slipped me a mickey, then I figured the fella must be late for a date. It was Saturday after all.

Late to church...


The Christians have church here on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
I think it's mainly to keep the plate passing.

Our Amish (Mennonite actually; but I don 't know the difference) keep to a valley about 10 miles south of town. The Amish Invasion of Wall Mart on Fridays is usually the only time they are in town. Horse and buggy's everywhere.

As an aside - they make a fortune on the Tourons from Pittsburgh, Baltimore and DC seeking "home crafted goods and country food stuffs". That and windmills. All tax-free because the church "legally" owns the stuff.

At one time I did a bit of traveling in eastern PA. You had to be VERY careful on those back roads at night.

 

[SpeareChucker]

They do that here too...



Good at separating Caesar and his coin.

Unescorted young couples in buggies?

Unescorted young couples in buggies?

I have no idea who might have been in the buggy but I damn near took a couple of them out. Even at 30 mph those reflectors come at ya real fast. This was just when they were mounting the triangle reflectors and nearly half of the buggies hadn't bothered yet.

I have no idea [...].

Something we agree about, SFB!

Home/motel. Got the same room as last week. And the week before. I may have to decorate. I know, I'll bring shit from home and leave it here nailed to the walls. Or not.


The junior Pm had a semi-meltdown this afternoon. I'd wager that the senior PM pissed into the prez's ear and then he, junior, got a call from the prez. That and they have a major fuck-up on the other set of jobs - the ones Wat was spared from. There is a rumor that the junior PM there the one who is the WTF PM, may have misrepresented some work as re-done which wasn't. They did a few as deception and left the rest. Yeah, that never goes well. If true, WTF may find himself OTD.


I'm surprised that Johnny still talks to us after our golf comments from last week. It must be the tits. And the Scintillating Articles.


Anyway, vacation may get canceled. Good thing that no reservations got made. And the band played on . . . .

I was thinking how Tangled Up In Blue would be more interesting tangled up in booze . . . .

Ya know, being held over on the current nightmare may have saved you dealing with two nightmares back to back. Burn some extra joss.

Done for the day. Pleasantly cool for this time of year.

Drinkin' and smokin' laws crack me up. When a d where you can do either. You can, most places only do both if you straddle the sill. Outcoard hand with a cog, inboard with a beer. They finally decided grown adults can drink and smoke on the outside patios at bars. Silly. 110° out and people are sweating under misters so they can enjoy two vices at once.

I don't think anyone knows the difference. Mennonites seem to spread out more. We gave 'em out west and they can be found in regular stores and do seem to drive or be driven. Too hot for horses, I expect. Never seen them arrive or leave.

Might be spirit Mennonites.

Happy Tuesday!!!


Nothing special this morning. Sleep was over and done with, and for no good reason. It would be nice, but . . . .


We have Mennonites around here. Ours cheat - they drive older Fords. One group has a huge van, and another (maybe other folks of the same group/family) have a large pick-up. I see them mostly in the box store parking lot, getting Allah knows what. It's not my week to watch them.


Yes, being in the Hell is likely sparing me from another worser Hell, or simultaneous Hells. Oftentimes, "problems" are not as problematic as they look. Put down the dumb shit, take care of the parts you have the power to do, and the rest is up to Allah . . . .

Hey, just crawling out of bed.

Looks like rain again; supposed to be a dry day.

At least I grilled pork steaks and shrimp last night. Good eating!

 

[SpeareChucker]

Okay, even FOX news is rejecting my VPN.

Maybe if I set it from Canada to Finland?

 

[Endrura]

Just a pop in, the rain has stopped and I'm spending time in the sun before it returns.

 

[SpeareChucker]

"They" say it's (the rain) supposed to stop today,
but that's like Lucy holding the football...

 

[bellisarius]

Look at the bright side, it's not raining somewhere.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Home/motel. Didn't rain here today, which is fine by me. There might be a t'storm tonight, but that doesn't matter,


The junior PM ducked Wat all day. Likely he's trying to screw up the courage to tell him that his vacation plug has been pulled. Like as not, Wat doesn't really give a shit. Sure, it's disappointing, but it's far from upsetting. If Wat doesn't care, why should anyone else?


Well, the friend I was gonna meet cares a wee bit, but she'll get to see her kids and grandkids anyway, so she'll have plenty to do. So I'll just have to meander down there later this summer, likely on a 4-day weekend.


Meanwhile, Chinee . . . .

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy non-payday Wednesday!!! Except the month's stipend was delivered-n-posted last night, so it's very much like payday Wednesday after all. Go figure. And here I was expecting that on Friday.


I guess I should have checked my e-mail yesterday afternoon. Who knew?


Oh wait, I was verra bizzy on Silly Shit Detail.


Nevertheless, Life goes on . . . .

 

[bellisarius]

Morning Wat.

Range Wed. out west here. Should be a nice day for it. I'll be back at the shack before it heats up too much.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Great day to squeeze in a round of golf and a pint of Bird Dog!
