Morning, spoonies
Hope everyone is properly caffeinated as we sail into Medical Monday today...
For all of us with medical appointments or accompanying family... may your visit be devoid of hassle and abundant with good news.
What else... what else?
Roll tape, Bob!

I didn't mean to be rude. Sometimes I just get defensive. I'm a old man...I'll be 72 in February, but that's not an excuse for rude

I detected no rudeness, Rj. Enjoy your new screens! Hope they bring you and Lady K hours of enjoyment!

Did I mention I know just enough about sailing to be dangerous?

It is not an inexpensive hobby as say... roller skating or skate boarding

Sweet! I’ll be right over!!

Right? Watch Party at Rj's!!

the recipients will simply rip the wrapping to pieces when opening their presents

Which is why for years I would wrap my gifts in brown paper grocery bags and use crayons to draw fun designs on them rather than buy commercial paper.

Ethyl hid somewhere yesterday for several hours. She has yet to tell me where. I gave her a good scolding when she resurfaced.
Ask me if she cared what I had to say.

One simply does not ask the Queen such questions. Silly man

He was always basically a preppy - a rich kid pussy - and a raging know-it-all asshole.

Ugh - town where I grew up was lousy with that sort. I've had my fill, thanks.

Gift cards. Colored envelopes. Pretty little bags. Pretty colored tissue paper.

Simpler yet:
So many gift cards are eCards now... all the recipient may open is a greeting card.

Novices don’t know when to leave for port. That’s who get hurt.

Very true - we relied on the captain and first mate to make that call for us.

coffee with my life companion is coming up.

I’ve only been out on the Great Lakes twice.

Once with my family was enough
They were all green around the gills the whole time. Mr. Dry Toast & Black Coffee (aka Dad) at the stern - dry heaving. 3 Siblings laying down in the cabin below - because we got up so early. Riiiight. And the youngest - eating his way through the snacks put out for the group thinking This is the Life! (Right before he tossed it all up on the deck then went down below to "rest his eyes").
One trip with that group was enough for me.
I had fun - sitting up front with the first mate.... chatting away. Well, until he had to swab the deck.

I fantasize of quitting my job and selling firewood full-time

sad how reality swoops in so fast on some dreams

Lake Erie is part of the GL but is not the best one. I spent most of my time on Lake Michigan and Huron. Those are beautiful lakes.

I grew up with Lake Michigan. To this day I remain Directionally Challenged. Okay - I've always been. But it was easier when "The Lake is East" helped to orient you.

The nurse practitioner is running behind.

Well that sucks. Given the time, I'm assuming you have one of the first appointments of the day
Hope it goes well once it goes

It really sucks because I literally haven't left the house all week. They are bringing this crap home for me!

Yep - kids... or Little Petri Dishes of Death as I refer to them IYKYK

Silly northerner, the sun is warm!

Yep - just ask a cat LOL

Fine by me... but you're cleaning up after them

And both expensive! But at least you can’t fall of a rose and break anything

Unless you get caught in the shrink ray
Stay vigilent, spoonies
The threat is real

Great day on the hill although a little cold and wet as we finished at 1.30! It gave me time to find someone who could order in a new tyre and fit tomorrow…

True. I've had some bad experiences with horses and greasewood. I suspect a rose bush would cause the same type of outcome

Sounds like a partial win for today... and setting up of a win for tomorrow already WOOT!

No wonder you're giving them both away

 

[Wat_Tyler]

What size trailers?

One to haul Bo when he needs to get around.


One to haul poles that the local utility company brings back to their yard and gives away - but you can't cut them to length there, so you have to take full length ones . . . and some are damn near 40' long.

If you can drink Keurig coffee, you can drink anything

Dad was an Army cook. His coffee was strong the pot always clean! He would have hated a Keurig.

A couple of years ago, I googled a former boss to see if he was dead. He wasn't, not yet, but perhaps he wished he was. He was always basically a preppy - a rich kid pussy - and a raging know-it-all asshole. Anyway, he was dating a lawyer, which takes a lot of st000pid and arrogance. Landlubber Boi takes her sailing. They hit a storm somewhere down south and he basically tied her up - in his control freaking manner - to keep her outta the way, his words. She sued him for some kind of wrongful restraint. The case was here for something that happened there, and I have no idea how that works, but whatever. She lost, so I hope she hired ninjas to get retribution.


Preppies shouldn't sail . . . .

I call "preppies"... Yuppy larvae.

That is a great idea.

I grew up with Lake Michigan. To this day I remain Directionally Challenged. Okay - I've always been. But it was easier when "The Lake is East" helped to orient you.

The lake to the East was Lake Huron and to the West was Michigan and North was Superior and to the South . . . who cares?

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Just a little humor.

Rest, girl, rest!!!
I'm tired too... the ride in was like that video OM posted... chit was flying everywhere.

Howdy RJ

There was but a “cold” front came thru. Will be in the 40”s tonight

Supposed to be 12 degrees F tonight, here in Pa. Just finished walking my dog, who loves the cold, it's 26 but wind-chill says it's like 17.

Just a little humor.

Getting a phone thrown at you by a spouse, back then, was a criminal offense.

Fawkin sneaux. Minus two C. Craptastic. It'll be a trip in the morning, and Wat won't be in any hurry to get to Worktown, not in this shit.
