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

Up. Made it past 0400. 'Bout time for cuppa #2. We were slow at work after lunch so I let the other guy go early and I get to come in late as I have to go a-banking to sort some shiznit out. Unfortunately, it has to be done F2F. Last "banker" I talked to called it a "safety deposit box," the one I closed for lack o' need. Silly fucker, it's a deposit box in the safe, ergo it's a safe deposit box.


Some people's kids.
 
Both of my parents were avid manual transmission disciples. My mom drove a stick until she was forced to give up her keys at 83.

I learned on a stick. Everytime I went to buy a new car and requested a manual drive, I was met with, "Do you even know how to drive a stick, little lady (or sugar, honey, darlin. Insert platitude here)?" 😡

I might have scared a salesman or three. I learned to drive in Italy. 🤭🤭

Both of my vehicles are automatic now.
Manual transmission=best anti theft device ever
 
I finally got my new cabinets installed on Saturday. The guy is not a great businessman but, damn! He's a fine craftsman! My cabinets are gorgeous, solid oak, including the drawers and shelves, and stained to match my existing 30 year old oak cabinets. I am beyond pleased!

All to the left of the granite, upper and lower, are new.

He did do a great job. I worked finishing kitchen cabinets for a while. It is not easy to get that close of a match. The wood can be a shade off and paints can vary in their effect. One time for a beauty shop we had to completely strip down the cabinets and start over. They look great.
