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

I was thinking I would like to snow ski again as I shoveled but then a twinge in my shoulder reminded me of busting it up on Okemo!
I had a tremendous tumble at okemo once.

My skis and poles were littered all over the trail. Real cartwheeel kinda stuff. When I finally came to a stop, I couldn’t move my right leg.

“Im paralyzed!” I thought.

But I could move it at the knee.

What happened was my the right ski stayed on and the ski somehow went up the back of my jacket getting trapped there. 😂

My ex FIL came by laughing hysterically and got my boot out of the binding.

My ego was much more bruised than my body.

You must be careful. Just ask Sunny Bono
 
Dip the bag 2 or 3 times and your done, I think...
I worked for a British company here in the US. We had one Brit that would leave his tea bag in the cup as he drank it. I know some people time it and my sister wants the bag dipped in after the water is poured, not in the cup as you pour the water in.
 
Good thing we all work remotely... or I'd for sure be needing Bo
(still might... keep that engine warm 😁 )


It's so nice to be wanted even if only for my backhoe.


Youse shoulda seen Bo make extremely short work of the heavy lifting around here this week. It's his raison d'etre . . . .

I miss snow skiing, I recall looking out over the mountains. Killing ton, and thinking I would stay there and not go back to work. I went back but I could easly have been a "Snow Bum".
I skied a lot in my 20s. But then I got frustrated by how crowded it was and how expensive. I literally haven’t been in 30 years.

And now I’m just old with bad ankles and knees.

I do miss the freedom and movement. It was a great core workout.

Strapping boards to the bottoms of your feet and leaping off an icy hillside is a very unnatural act.


We're gonna go to breffeseses and then to TSC, both of which are truly the will of Allah.
 
Quick catch up then an apple for dessert. 🍏
PSA: 2 massive deadlines looming... so I may be scarce still for a bit.

Example:
Alligators - everywhere and all damn day
Estate alligators - because 12/31 snuck up on some assholes (calling out the attorney here)
Work Alligators - Big project due date 1/1... I keep getting more requests to change stuff AFTER I think all my work is done. Plus there's a database/software issue we're working with the vendor to resolve. Just spent the last 3 hours of my work day reviewing 3600+ pages of XML code... confirmed what they need to add/correct is good... and found 9 instances in almost a half million lines of code where the vendor fucked up the syntax/code for the value before the one he added. 👀 😵‍💫 And people wonder why I have things zoomed on my screen to 140% :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:

And because it's 12/31, we'll be short-staffed again. 🤞I don't have to cover much for others because I'm underwater with what I need to finish yet myself. :oops:

Oh yeah - and half the team is sick. Good thing we all work remotely... or I'd for sure be needing Bo
(still might... keep that engine warm 😁 )

Okay - here we go...

Keep moving, Rj... hope it warms up a bit.
Best of luck with the move!!!


Better a dream than IRL? Just ask my BFF - rode around with Mall Security for the better part of an hour convinced her parents' car was stolen.
Turns out she parked clear on the opposite side of the mall than usual. Ah, high school :LOL:

Aw - thank you for the compliment

will take some time
deadlines need to pass

To be fair - it was our local library. And although I was driving, it was our last stop before home... and my siblings could have easily walked home at any time. :ROFLMAO:

Definition: Party Line :devilish:

Boxes are essential furnishings when one has cats. IYKYK

Dang... missed it (and the next one)
Mind you, I'm about 17 hours behind 😂

Win Column! 🎉

Hope the roads were in good shape for you.
Enjoy the reads!! 📚 🥰

Welcome - hope you enjoy it as much as we do. :coffee:

Yep, as tasty as coffee is, cats are superior*
*I may be in their thrall... hard to tell 🤭

briefly - win column 🎉

Just what sort of cats you raisin' on that there farm of your'n? :unsure:



That be the one... but I missed that yours was a clip not a GIF... so I kept scrolling. Thought I had an earwig... nope. 2:33 of the same few bars of music over, and over, and over... 🤣

😘 Needed that laugh today!!

I'm in IT - we say "user error" 😉 :LOL:
Hope it worked its way out by now 🤗

Fell in love with a husky when I was a bitty girl. Omar... OMG what a gorgeous boy!!

Win Column - more time to meet your goal.
🙌🙌You got this!!

Oh bless!
I still have wrapping paper. Need a package sent to dad? Mittens and handcuffs maybe?
Hope it's sorted soon. 🫂

^^^This!! You consistently go above and beyond. Sounds like your sister is a leaker and no one lets you know how much your hard work is appreciated.
It's hard when it's family. 🫂

Touche! 🤺
Point... OM

This little feller paid my mom’s neighbor a visit last year. Be careful!

We used to call those “Olympic Falls”…due to the crash out the dude had on ABC’s Wide World of Sports back in the seventies. The Ski mags I used to get back then called them “Yard Sales”…all yer shit scattered over the hill!😂

I don’t ski anymore…but man I miss it.

Had a Lowe’s date with SWMBO last night. It’s our new running joke that our only date night is going shopping for household project crap then she can weasel me into a meal at this Pho cafe. It’s turned into a thing over the last couple three months.

Last night’s date night we get out way too late (her fault) and Lowe’s rushes us out the door (yeah…sadly we’re that couple) then I say “hey, lets try out the new Asian Fusion place RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM LOWES’S that’s still OPEN?)…SWMBO—“no I want to go to MY Pho Cafe…”. Her Cafe is 20 mins ACROSS town🙄

Off we go, and smug in her knowledge that the family run place has new hours…open till 11, we get there and…CLOSED. I don’t think she gets the whole family run business thing…if it’s slow they shut the door…I don’t blame them!

We go up a mile to the mother ship of the Fusion place that opened on our side of the jungle…closed.

I’m not lying…I had a big shat-eating grin of “I told ya SO!” 🤣

So…happy New Year’s Eve. Was going to throw darts tonight but jet engine level whining by SWMBO and amateur hour idiots on the road tonight…I may heed her call to hang out. We’ve been wanting to rewatch a movie we haven’t seen in years…THe Night We Never Met…hmmmmmm🤔
