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

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning denizens of the diner. The wind is wicked and temperate is at least warm enough for salt to work.

Yesterday , I made my bean vegetable soup and a cherry chocolate coffee cake.

It was nice to sleep in.

Hopefully just another week. Taiwan just issued arrest warrant for ONEPLUS Ceo China infiltrated 70 engineers for technology.

This world is a scary place

 

[Missk_2022]

I had a beer.

Then three old fashions.

Then a baby Guinness (which I think was Kahlúa or some coffee liqueur) and baileys.

Ya gotta stay warm.somehow and luckily no driving

 

[Missk_2022]

That's Juneau. They got a pile of snow. Rain on that snow will crush some buildings.

So do u all have like reinforced roofs etc?

 

[Missk_2022]

I believe the answer is 42

I believe the answer is .... vjdjebtboej5592
It.is like a word problem. If 2 trains leave at the same time 1 travelling at 30 mph and the other at 44 mph . What time well the monkeys have breakfast

 

[Missk_2022]

I need some sorts and to shut this computer off...

I want to be left alone at the same time as wrapped in a blanket with soft jammies slippers a bottomless cup of hot chocolate and someone to brush my hair while watching baking shows while someone cleans my house and fixes shit....

Is that too much to ask

Morning, people.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

@Wat_Tyler - you feeling any better today?
@HumpDayHoratio - how's the return to work going?

Going well. Have to go through a sort of re-qualification to make sure I can cross t’s and dot i’s. Other than that it’s been laid back. In fact…so laid back…I’m at the tropical port where this little guy set sail…

Legend has it they (the S.S. Minnow) never made it back. They keep this as a memorial…



I did find us the perfect 50+ Greasy Spoon vacation vessel!


She’s got great lines, and as they say in that movie The Philadelphia Story, she’s Yar! Wat, Wonderer, and myself probably have enough know how to get’er seaworthy. Now if you have reservations of setting sail on an old boat, and suffer the same fate as the poor crew of the Minnow, then maybe this little gem?


She’s a 50 Beneteau, a fine sailor. Notice the straight bow…that’s a modern adaptation. Even the military is launching their new boats with this.

So, we need a crew. I nominate Boat as Cpt. I’ll be first mate (as long as I can wear the Gilligan hat!), we need a purser, a bartender, a hostess…any other Love Boat crew I’m forgetting?

The rest of Ye Scurvy Dogs can cast lots for what remains!

I can strum a guitar and play some sailing songs

Good morning denizens of the diner. A big weather change today as we go into a deep freeze.

I have essential tremors and so stay away from sharp utensils.

About scammers, remember it’s easy with AI. AI can be programmed to engage in conversations. So be careful of unsolicited DMs.

One thing I’m hearing is if you get a phone call and answer…and you hear nothing…

DON’T SAY ANOTHER WORD! They’re recording your voice and then mixing it with AI to scam…

Can’t trust anyone.

If I don’t recognize the number…I don’t answer. If it’s important they’ll leave a message…maybe I’ll call.

Sweet! I can join you…although, I’m not that good. But I can do easy stuff.

 

[AlexAtNight]

This is why I set "Do Not Disturb" on my phone. If you aren't in my contacts it doesn't ring. Enjoy voicemail, and the robot voice

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Morning all.

Checking in. Long days of meetings, but fun dinner and drinks w crazy Brits I work with.

Another early meeting today.

And bad sleep last nite. hate sleeping in hotels.

Yep…being 5 hrs difference from EST, it’s lights out at 8…teenage girls were frolicking in the pool at volume 11 …hotel pain is real…

For my Tanker Brother in Arms:



The competition…



Look who was hiding on the roof! An S-Mod

Everyone hates him, ESPN even did a 30 for 30 with that title. But he remains one of the greatest college basketball players ever. 4 Final Fours and 2 Nattys

That 30 for 30 was a good show. Growing up in NC, I’m an ACC fan…didn’t go to any of the top tier schools (they don’t let hillbilly’s like me near fine establishments) but watched the great play of all the teams. State, Carolina, and Duke had amazing runs at different times…oddly back to back many years.

Laetner in my mind is the best collegiate basketball player of the modern era (three pt line/35 sec clock). I was a tad too young to remember other great players outside of the ACC in the 70’s but they were in a different era in my book anyhow. I’ll go a step further and say those Duke teams of 92-94 really were spectacular. They should have beaten Arkansas in ‘94.

The back to back National Champ teams I’d rank the best all time, although Florida may argue that point. Quick name two players off that FU team? I can only think of one and the coach….
