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

Greetings gang, I’m just catching up on the thread, I’ve been out of commission for over a week with walking pneumonia. Good times!

So bartender how about a lemon tea 😛

It did help me avoid having to do some annoying clean up in the garage, but also made me miss playing golf so….

There are some awesome car buffs here on this thread. Great photos
 
Up early again so Good Morning early risers. Rain and storms are coming today then cooler.

My son and I watched Dune 2 in a near empty theater yesterday afternoon. Wow on the movie - very well done. Sad that the movie theater is so empty- wonder how it will stay in business.
Our local theatre’s are dropping like flies after the lockdowns. They’ve gone to a more “home theatre” type atmosphere. You buy your tix and pick your seat! That’s kind of cool…the seats are bigger and more comfy, recline with footrests ect…

I have to admit it’s sort of nice as it weeds out the on the phone types, but you don’t get that packed theatre everyone screaming at the bad guys and cheering on the hero’s of our youth. That was sort of fun but those days appear to be gone.
 
Last night, I had a drink with a bunch of old coworkers. We used to work this union job together. We met at a really divey joint called the royal near us.

Bikers, greasers, freaks, old men (I’m one of em too). Caught up with everyone, had some laughs and some dinner and drinks. Added bonus, it was Tuesday night trivia night. Our team, the Dipshitz, came in last!

There are some pretty serious and competitive trivia players there!

Back to work today… the day job…



I went to visit my son and his wife over Xmas several years ago, and they wanted me as The Ringer in their Wednesday night bar trivia night. Seems I have a reputation for knowing all sorts of stuff. Anyway, the "judges" declined to accept my answer for the 40-point question, which was correct but I said it in English and not French. Anyway, the 3 of us lost to a table of 6 by 15 or 20 points.


Meh.
 
There was a bit of dumpster diving at the liquor store. It's a state run operation. Clean dumpster - recycling, you see. I picked mostly the whiskey boxes. I have brought some in and taped them back together. The cats think I have made Box Heaven just for them. One has already filled with books. Good thing that booze boxes aren't big.
 
Well this is no good. Bad storm came through and it ripped my screen door open and twisted it and warped it and messed it all up. Oh well I hated the damn thing anyway it wasn't installed correctly by someone my dad wanted me to use. So problem solved I tried to put it back together thinking it was just popped out nope it's twisted and it won't even shut anymore. Oh well the joys of homeownership

Just glad you are safe. Storms did damage up north.
 
I suck at it......
And I have a house that is always giving me surprises. I need to replace back deck and front deck too. The person originally put them on used nails so they're all popping out but it's so old that you can't nail them in or pull them out it needs to be stained or painted or something. They use this weird paint it heals but that other people said it's stain? I have no idea what it is. I would stand it off but the nail issue. There's always something. And I live alone and I am a girl and and and
