Only if we're all eating a meal together. Otherwise, it would be such a waste.

Right. In a restaurant...share the love

 

[Missk_2022]

The kids sure don't.


Well, my kid does.

All of us do i suspect one nephew does. Well i know he does. My dad let him drive his semi in a parking lot before he retired

 

[Missk_2022]

I can hardly wait.


And parasites. We can't leave Invasive Insects out.

Maggots too

Ethyl would already have killed him/her/it and scattered its bones.

And kept the head for a trophy to warn the others

A story about stick shifting, was the teaching of my daughter on my Honda Civic. Now this car was such an easy shift that you just had to learn to get it into first. So I took my daughter to a parking lot to practice the accelerator with release of the clutch to get into first without stalling.

She struggled and stalled the car often. Frustrated, she became angry and quit after a squirrel sat about 3 feet in front of the car taunting her!.

She must have forgotten to remind the squirrel that his legs are too short to reach the pedals and that he can't see over the steering wheel.


Obnoxious rodents!!!!

Loudly and with waves of laughter.

Not to mention oak is solid. I have a preference for 1/4 sawn but not always the wallet.

We saw it here, so try to maximize quarter and rift sawn. But yes, in general it's expensive to buy.

I'm not sure I could even afford oak, of we didn't have the mill and access to the acres of hardwoods. To be honest, I never look at the retail price. We've even used it for trusses for buildings.

It can even make bird's-eye, like maple does. The effect is interesting, and it's super rare. We do have some set aside, from the only tree we've ever encountered.

Junior's mother - my second ex-wife - also drove a lot of sticks in her life. The car she gifted him when he arrived at driving age was her older one, so he had to learn it if he expected to drive it. Then he bought his SRT8 when he graduated college. That was a 6-speed. I think that he has had slushboxes since.

Insect larvae. Of course not. They were one way to deal with infections, once upon a time.


Or did I mix that story up?

TDK and Panther would be playing with the head, swatting it under furniture and such.

Did you notice that she posted that at exactly 0300 EST???

Those chickens are some bad azz bitches!

Imagine the embarrassment, a dog, a descendent of wolves.

Being protected from a bird, by a domesticated chicken.

He's never going to be able to look his buddies in the eye again...

I had a dream this morning just before I woke up that I was driving over Schooleys Mountain near where I live. It was snowing as I was driving, it wasn’t necessarily treacherous, but I was going to moderate speed and cars were piling up behind me. Typical jersey drivers in their SUVs. They think they can drive fast and stop just as fast.

As I was coming off the hill and into Hackettstown, I noticed that there was a car who had driven off the road. I stopped to help them, and it was none other than Sir Mick Jagger!

I’m playing a cool, like I have no idea who he is, trying not to be a finding stones fan. I get his car unstuck (some really nice and high-end BMW) and then I suddenly turned into a blubbering idiot drones fanboyband telling him how I think let it bleed is the best album of all time! Even the tracks that don’t get a lot of aircppayvare fabulous. “I’ve got the silver…” I’m going on and on and on about this album and also the album beggars‘s banquet. (Jigsaw puzzle and stray cat blues.)

Poor Mack is a trapped audience, but he’s totally cool about it and telling me great stories and anecdotes about how he and Charlie were absolutely blitzed writing one of the songs I was mentioning. We both raised an imaginary toast to Charlie, before I got three good selfies of me and Sir Mick!

Then I drove off of Schooleys Mountain and into the center of Cincinnati… and was partying with a Portuguese and Spanish couple

Just sharing in case anyone wants to see inside my crazy mind!

Figgy pudding is very different fron Yorkshire pudding. I think you could safely have both on Christmas day!

This is what I was waiting for! I could have looked it up, but where’s the fun in that?

I’ve had neither, so I had decided to do both…or should I say, I do Figgy, SWMBO does Yorkshire. We’re down to a week to go Christmas shoppers. . I thought I had a little more time…we’re cutting back this year, but still need to get the stocking stuffers and whatnot.

So…told you bout my Elf in the Attic. First look didn’t see anything, but have heard him a couple of times. Yesterday drive up and the neighborhood visiting cat was skulking around looking up iand as I get out of the truck, a squirrel blasts out of the overgrown Holly bush runs up over the garage. I scold the cat for not doing his job and weeding these tree rats out, and go in the back yard. I look up and don’t see anything at first, then I see a little head. Then swoop! Right down the bathroom vent pipe!

Furry little varmint! I did a little research and it appears they like to nibble on the lead flashing in those pipes?

Exterminator doesn’t deal w squirrels…so now I need to rent a Bambi bucket (I think that’s the term) and strap in and go up and put a critter cage to keep his butt out there…but first have to make sure they’re all out…no nest…see how much damage he’s done…

Merry Squirrel Chas’n Christmas….

When my dad was teaching me…somewhere around 12 or 13, he had an F-150 three on da tree. I couldn’t get it out of 1st without stalling but I could in reverse?

If that’s not a metaphor for my life!

Ethyl would be on the laundry basket licking her chops

Have your mom help...she likes ladders

She must have forgotten to remind the squirrel that his legs are too short to reach the pedals and that he can't see over the steering wheel.


Obnoxious rodents!!!!

The squirrel was obnoxious and I found it hilarious at the same time.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

My backyard in a busy city has a doe with 3 fawns roaming it. The dog now gets interested.

Has there been a creepy Elf horror movie yet?
Ask and The Universe provides

I prefer my gear choices to what the transmission thinks it should do. I do like Petunia's choices most of the time, but the she has a funky 8-speed, so she has a lot to think about.

Not familiar w/ the 3 on a tree.
I learned 4 on the floor from dad. He taught me when to shift based on RPM (Tachometer).
College - roommate had a car for a while. It was stick shift and she hated it. So she let me drive it.
It had some weird predictive shifting program where it would tell you when to shift... but it didn't match what my dad taught me or what I was feeling with the car. So annoying!

OMG! They had such a strong two person in the room policy… even on a Sunday afternoon! Althey I am getting to schemalizing how to do it….

Maggots too

Anyone else remember this one?
Just me?

Still do... maggots are great at debridement of damaged flesh, like with severe burns.

Pro Tip: They carry scabies. You do not want that inside your house!!!

Waiting for (work) Godot here. I'm outta here when my fellow boss man comes back from the other job. At least they haven't fucked that one up. Yet.


Toofless didn't understand why he was moved to an assignment with not much work on it. Funny, I do . . . .
