Golden Gate Bridge Painter Walking To Work​

Golden Gate Bridge Painter Walking To Work
 
Morning all. Quick catch up and then diving back into work. Lots to do, lots to do...

AND ITS NOT EVEN WINTER YET.
That's bold. Mother Nature isn't known for her like of other people telling her how to do her business :oops:
I will be away for a few days (dramatic pause for the huge sigh of relief) so, be good and stay warm.
Enjoy your time away... and thanks for keeping us in the loop. 👋
Yeah. I'll probably go with 512 on the next phone, too.

As far as music goes, I have a crap-ton of music and some I specifically like for playlists. It annoys me that I either have to pay for a premium streaming app or deal with ads when I already OWN the music I like. I've been on the hunt for a reliable mp3 player app.
Yeah - deal breaker for me. Let's face it, my budget won't keep any business afloat, but I do talk with my wallet. And this is telling me to consider other options. Thankfully my upgrade still includes an SD Card.
Good morning 😃. After 4 hours I have transferred my old phone to my new iPhone. It was supposed to be easy and it was not. But it’s done. I also transferred to a new service. Let’s see how they do.
I have yet to switch over to the new phone. Dreading it b/c it's never easy. Doesn't matter what the brochures say - it never goes according to plan. :mad:
Making me yawn! I better get to bed now! I'll catch you bunch later today! 😘✨🥰
Sweet Dreams!! Love to see you here, but when we're on at the same time, I know I've either stayed up too late or gotten up way too early. :LOL:
Good morning all.

Wide awake for the last hour. Guess it's time for a workout!
😥 for the awake part
:) for the workout
Nah, I'll leave that until the end of the day. I'll start with some cardio first.
Sure. I mean if you clear a path people will just randomly show up, right? Who needs that?? :LOL:

Busy busy week
🫂 Let the Annual Christmas Hazing begin (i.e. the 2-week ramp up to Christmas) 🎄
The boys and I still run around the house making light saber noises as we whack each other till the things fall apart. Some of us never grow up…

One last thing to do this morning then leave on the jet ✈️.
As it should be - perfect light saber material. Growing up is overrated. :LOL:
Have a wonderful vacation!!
I might have an MP3 solution for those that were talking about that a few pages over. I need to get home and look for it though. It’s a project I put on hold…

The MZ…
TIA for the MP3 solution... and for your MZs. Such beautiful images you share. 🤗 😍
The logo on the background car caught my eye

Ok....

So a question?

What was everyone's first ever car?

Mine was a 1972 chevy caprice
First I purchased was a 1989 Pontiac Grand Am

Learned to drive on a Ford LTD - late 70s model
Learned to drive stick on a c. 1981 Ford Mustang
Good morning everyone. Well I was the last out of the office yesterday due to the weather and I’m the first one in this morning. Coffee is ready when the rest of the team bothers to show up. Hope y’all have a great day.
Not sure if solo in the office is a blessing or a curse?

I've learned to live farther away from work than I can walk. For years I was that person b/c even when the buses didn't run I could walk the mile to work and be first in the office. :rolleyes: Only plus was making a real pot of coffee.
Coworker who typically arrived first and "took control" of the coffee pot all day started making colored water after gallbladder surgery. I switched back to tea at that point. What she made was close enough to hot water for me. :LOL: :coffee: 🫖

Yep - except my mom put the baby's plastic seat either lengthwise on the front seat or in the passenger footwell... because that was so much safer :oops: :LOL:

I don't remember where mom put me, probably in the trunk, because I was a bad kid...still am
 
Let’s see if greylag and nipplecaresser member this three wheeled beaut: the Reliant Robin.

And of course, I am taking a page from L2s playbook to bring you an amusing video.
Well, someone sure is missing it...
Advert seen while perusing today's news during my lunch break:

Because once wasn't enough? At least this one might be easier to right after they tip over??? 🤨:oops:

Three wheeled vehicles tend to tip to the inside of a corner. It's counterintuitive, but in a three wheeler you need to lean out on a corner. Completely opposite of what you would expect.

The above bike is probably less problematic than the old reliant. The front is narrow, so it CAN lean in without touching. Also the rear appears to have significant suspension travel, which will help.

I think it would be fun to drive something like either of them, tho. Probably more fun than these new daily commuter passenger cars. Our latest has a CVT, and it feels like a rubber band for a transmission!

Maybe I'd like it if it were closer to an enclosed motorcycle trike? :LOL:

This one feels like it would get squashed in a fender bender for sure. *splat*

I think a CVT would be irritating. Maybe b/c my father taught me to drive stick - and shifting based on RPM and the "feel".
