The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Good morning all those awake. Hunker down those in the way of the big storm! I am north of the big storm and it’s cold: wind chills in the teens. More cold coming. No long walks for the old dog. His arthritis is bad in the cold.

Grandpa taxi is going this morning.
When you say taxi it sends me back to my NYC taxi driving days. I am in FL but still have my winter clothing for when I travel north. We are going to have a low of 53 here today and to my FL accimated body that feels cold. Hope the taxi ride this morning is a good one!

Grandpa’s taxi only shuffles the grandkids to their daycare. It’s my way of helping and seeing them as they grow up. I put children’s songs on and they sing. Except getting up early, its enjoyable.
 
Happy Monday!!! It snowed and now it has switched to some watery stuff which is, I suspect, Freezing Rain. That's based on how it's collecting on the bare tree limbs. Hmmmm. I'ma not going out in this shit. I may move my truck to the church parking lot. People drive fer-shit here in the rain, and sneaux just makes it worse. Worser. Worserer.

***Attention*** I just heard from greylag and he wishes everyone the best of there holidays. He apologizes for not being on and advised me that his 89 year old mom has had a seizure, and is doing her best at recovery. I advised him that he and his whole family, especially his mom will be in our thoughts and prayers. He also said when he can he will be returning and misses everyone.
Oh geez. Sorry to hear this sad news, @Greylag . When it rains it pours.

Sending positive thoughts and love for a quick recovery to a tough lady!!

❤️🙏

You know those days when you shouldn't have gotten out of bed? I should have guessed this was one, when I started fixing a faucet, and a small leak in some piping.

Faucet was a royal pain. The pipe was even worse. Cracked bronze fitting. Can't get a replacement today, and trying to mess with it made it worse. Had to clean and solder it shut as a temporary repair...

This new bronze is potable water 'safe', but starts springing leaks in only a few years.

I think I want to go back to carrying it with a bucket! 🤬
Damn. Another spell of bad luck, bro. Sorry. 🫤

Had the same thing abt a week ago. Small leak under the kitchen sink.

Good luck. Hate projects where nothing goes right. Glad you have enuf wherewithal to have made a quick field expedient fix till you can get the right part.
