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

My father-in-law had a Combat badge, Purple heart, and Bronze Star. I asked him what he did and he said it was nothing.
Men with those things didn't earn them for bragging rights.
I've never been in those situations or places, so have no real understanding.
But knowing those were given says all I need to know about those guys.
 
Asshole roosters. We had them at the farm. Had a healthy respect for those little bastards at an early age. Barn cats…ditto.

Not as cold this a.m. started out around 30f and by the time I hit the river it was 32. Heading to low 50’s which is perfect for a sunny day like it is.

Getting my dry goods ready for the figgy pudd’n and Norwegian apple cake. The arm wrestling is now on because SWMBO wants to make a roast beast w Yorkshire pudd’n? I don’t know if that will clash…I might just make it anyway…I want to soak it in brandy and light that sucker up! 🐦🔥🥮

His Highness may be disappointed but I bet he eats it!

Finishing off the decorating and odds and ends. Getting the schedule down for return to work. They’ll be happy to see me. Have a great day!

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.
Well you will be well equipped here we have one of each. The estate only has stick shift pickups.
 
Treat Tuesday, spoonies
Is everyone enjoying a bit of a heat wave?
Almost 40F above today with lots of ☀️
Special Order for @Wonderer67 and others smacked with the SAD Stick this winter?

Let's dive in and see what everyone is up to today, shall we?
Apparently, you can coat them in Vaseline or similar and they'll last 6 months to a year. A trick for loading for long sailing voyages.

We collectively used to use sodium silicate to seal the shells also. Waterglass is something that's not known much about anymore.
What alchemy is this?
Hmm... may need to try this sometime... now, where to find fresh, uncleaned eggs here in my part of the city? :unsure:
Oceanic.com - Stowing Eggs for Longevity

Scientists in Antarctica use an age-old trick to have fresh eggs year round

I learned on a stick.
I learned and got my DL with an automatic.
However, I jumped at the chance to learn stick since we were a 2-car family with 3 drivers. And 4 more siblings biding their time before they got their DLs. By the time I went to college, 2 cars and 5 drivers plus another doing their practice driving.
Check with the social worker to see if they have therapy dogs who visit with patients. This should be something s/he could arrange.
Such an excellent idea!!
My husband was the same way. If I didn't leave enough batter on the paddle, he got pouty. 😅😅 I think uncooked batter is disgusting and won't eat it but I always left enough for him.
2 beaters - 8 kids
When she could, Mom did her baking after we went to bed.
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!
They are gorgeous!! Really well done. And the color matching? 👨‍🍳 🤌
I need the recipe, please! I also do not like the overly sweet frosting of carrot cake. It ruins the healthfulness of the cake! 🤭🤭
Same. While I don't like frosting, I do somethings frost items given to others. Having a recipe like this one would be great!!
He's at the find out stage!
My brain went right from FAFO to the Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum song :ROFLMAO: Crush 'em, W :LOL: :LOL:
LOVE That idea! I’m sure he misses his family of dogs.
:love::love::love:
And she uses her dad for extra when egg laying is abundant.
Lucky you!! 🥚 🥚 🥚
They should all have tiny socks on their tiny feet before they go to bed.

Good. We can talk about raging infections and the disgusting shit that they produce.
Oh, goody... pus :oops: 😂
🙋‍♀️Kahlua and Coffee used to be a decadent holiday treat 😋
Manual transmission=best anti theft device ever
Truth 💣
I giggle when people say that muffins are healthy....it os a cupcake
So true... except for that one recipe of mine. LOL
Reminds me to dig that one out again. Haven't made Bran Muffins in a long time. So yummy!
He over promises because he is my friend and cant say no.... so he overextends... dude just say no
Teach him how it's done, @Missk_2022
Gotta train 'em young
I am gonna start ising that as a threat...if you dont_________, i am gonna drive your stick up through your belly button
Let's print up business cards with that... fill-in-the-blank and hand them out. :ROFLMAO:
Smells and where they came from
...for $800, Alex 😏
What would Frosty Say?
Oh no, what will she do with my carrot.....

Before I forget I will be on a trip over the holidays and back in Jan sometime. Not sure I will be on much if at all. I don't do phone!
Thanks for letting us know. Have a great time!
I get to see it quite often.
(Mine is several degrees of black belt, and has three graduate degrees...)

Just pull up a chair and grab some popcorn...

MFing Truth 💣 !!
Hasn't everyone put something disgusting in their mouth at least once in their lifetime ;)
🤣🤣🤣 Layer cake of a joke!
The arm wrestling is now on because SWMBO wants to make a roast beast w Yorkshire pudd’n? I don’t know if that will clash…I might just make it anyway…I want to soak it in brandy and light that sucker up!
That's not how one cooks roast beast, sir :oops: 🥃 🔥
Great day on the hill yesterday with my young dog Jack excelling himself. Then as we left the mist rolled into the valley and the sun set. Amazing place to live.
Gorgeous photos, @Greylag 🥰
More than once and it's no longer experimenting, though...
Definition: Practice 😁
This day crawls past.
Motherfucker x 3….
Truth 💣
Wanna trade weasels?!? 🤨 :devilish: 😂

On that note - back to work for me...

Home. Thought this day would never end. Tomorrow will be my last day as I have to go back to "Home"town and sort out Dr. Tyler's banking arrangements. Of course, this has to be done F2F and cannot be done over the phone. Of course. Not that I much care, mind you. Work is boring AF this week because we don't have much going on, what we have is gooder/roofers and it's gonna rain come Thursday and Friday. Same back home, too. Maybe it'll get the vast quantity of bird shit off'n Petunia.


TDK will become well traveled in the next several days.
