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

I was too. But my New Year’s resolution is to not look at my phone when I wake up in the middle of the night. I don’t know if it did any good, because I read a book from 3:30 to 5 AM…🫤
Sound like we all were all up all night. I went to bed early, then the wife came to bed with a cough. She was coughing all night, so neither of us slept... :(

I chose not to check into the 3AM club either, not that avoiding the phone helped me sleep!
 
I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm a Eagles fan and a Kansas City Chief's fan.
Who do I cheer for?
The answer to your dilema is quite simple. Every time during this particular game you feel like rooting for the Eagles - don't. 🤣

I love both teams too and my hometown affiliation with KC dictates my allegiance but I suspect Philly will be on top this year. No matter which side, a good play is a good play and worthy of applause.
 
FINALLY got my license changed over. Now I'm planning a trip back to Florida for one last trip to bring my pickup and lawnmower and other assorted accoutrements.

It's not a bad drive. Mostly highway through Birmingham to Atlanta then south to Gainesville Florida then east to Palatka. That last bit sucks at the end of the trip.

Gonna go try to sweet talk the little lady selling the house while I'm there and see if she can push my house out front a little. Wish me luck on that front.

Oh, I kinda blew off the Goodyear cattle call job fair. I didn't think I would be able to compete with the crowd of 20 and 30 somethings that would be there. Somehow I got an email asking me to follow through with an interview call even though I didn't go Saturday morning. Weird! I guess they didn't find enough of what they wanted. That could be a bad thing or a good thing. Hmmm.

Have a great day today everyone. Especially those that are going through "it" today.

Now, in the UK we wouldn't be getting excited about a trip to Birmingham! 😂😂

Hope your drive goes well!
 
I'm so glad you came out of it unharmed! I did have some thoughts that you might have been out shooting in that weather! Then thought, "Nah! He's not THAT crazy! Is he?" 🤣🤣🤣
@Lilianna23 well as you mention it……I well….I errr…..um did venture out in the afternoon! But, in my defence, the wind had dropped to only about 65-70mph, it was perfect wildfowling weather, I did have my stick, I only get blown over three times and I snot a goose…….oh and it was a lovely sunset but the picture might be a little bit blurred as I was getting blown about a little. It was just a bit breezy!

Well if you can golf in it you can shoot on it!!!
 
Power is back on - no reason given for the surprise outage :rolleyes:
quick catch up as I continue to catchup at work, too
Happy Monday
Made a plate and took it to Mrs. Mitt as she was ill. Thinks she may have picked up the flu bug when she went to the doc on Friday. My oldest went with her and she just reported feeling yucky too. Soooo, me and the evil genius that is my red headed gamer girl are sequestered away from them
Glad you're taking steps to sequester and hopefully mitigate the exposure. Some of these viruses are really vicious this year 🫂
Never ever take betting or sports advice from me!
Or me... but usually my inability to get the Trifecta* correct is a huge tip off :ROFLMAO:

*City, Team Name, Sport
I'm so glad you got good sleep! I managed over 9 HOURS!!! 🥳 🎉
Congratulations!! This is awesome news!! 🥰
Pretty good...up at 3am..... ugh
Dang it! So much for the Hall Pass idea 😣
Too many of us are members of this club
They offered slant sixes in those Dodges.
But the Ford cheated.
Hmm, it's in English and yet...
Just exposing my ignorance here... and my lack of responses since there's no "confused" option :LOL:
carry on with the auto discussions...
Paint it white to match the dresser. No one will ever see it.
😍 this suggestion!
keep grandpa safe.
New Protocol Approved 💯
Work is already kicking my a$$
Try a Surprise Power Outage
It works - well. so long as the power remains... out :LOL:

That Scottish Wind is no joke!! Glad you're still in one piece and didn't get blown into the North Sea or Atlantic Ocean 🌊 🥶

Note to self: Things to Google -
wildfowling
snotting a goose
Well if you can golf in it you can shoot on it!!!
Wonder if they use weighted balls during the Windy Season?? :unsure:
Wife is running a 101.5 fever right now... She spent the whole night coughing at me, so pretty sure this isn't going to be fun...
🫂 Hope she feels better soon and the rest of the household (including yourself) either dodge this bullet or get a mere grazing 😬
 
I am more than willing to trade off on woodworking mowing fixing stuff hanging light fixtures patching holes etc for cooking cleaning back rubs and stuff.......

It isnt I can't do it...I am impatient and think others would do it better


I get it. It takes a bit of getting used to, the patience thing. The thing is to recognize one's own limitations. Providence has none - I have plenty. I am not Providence.


New job looks like it's going to go fine. There is one trick: just make the damned phone call today and not tomorrow.
