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

Good day. Cold and rainy. My new super I was with today submitted. Looks like I'll be his boss and the boss of the other jobs in the area. Funny thing is, I had no idea, and I'm too fucking humble to have assumed that I'd get pushed into it. However, I'm not so fucking humble not to say that I think they have made a damned fine selection. Now, to attend this big planning meeting at Teh Office and get my marching orders.


Funny way to get information, but it could be so much worserer.


Off to read.
Well... that was an interesting turn of events

Does submitted mean quit or stepped down?

Does it come with a pay increase?
 
The only thing straight on our old stone mill are the corners.

You could put a marble on one side of it and it’d roll the other side.
The 1880s house was kinda like that when bought it.

In the basement, you could see the sub floor. There was one 24" wide board that ran the whole length of the house. Not a single knot in it. It was amazing they even bothered to work with a single board that big. Big old white pine log.
 
I'll measure her width next time I'm in the garage. I'm sure it wider than the sled, but it's still surprisingly narrow.

I don't have a sled for firewood. I literally just drag the trailer with wheels through the snow. Just pull hard! It'll move. https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png
A lot of the winter trails on the seismic lines end up being barely over 48" wide, which is slightly more than the outboard width of my Ski skins on the Skidoo. The 6' poly sled for firewood was a Costco buy for just over $200 bucks with hitch and cover. They went like hotcakes. And they work great.
 
Personal Note: Shari Belafonte 2025? Still fine IMO!

I smell game night... and maybe something small and furry over in the corner??
Wife just said she saw -20F at the bottom of the hill on her drive to work this morning. Twas chilly.
Agreed - not sure how low out temps were this morning, but cold enough that I thought "Oh, hell no!" when thinking of taking a shower - inside - in the warmest room in my place.
It's now a balmy 3 above... so will relax before bed with a hot, soapy shower. 🚿🧼 🫧

Congratulations on your promotion?!? 👏👏👏

Imagine the tree that beauty must have come from!! ❤️
Hey now, Some of us like them fancy vittles!
Here... 🍲 you can have mine. :ROFLMAO:
 
Not to brag but, I have seven active threads I go to. Very time consuming.
Oh, and my 71st Birthday is on the 18th. I'll come visit...
Ohio is nothing special, but Mrs Rj has a brother nearby here.
Home is where the heart is, right?
Happy birthday a few days early!!

I'll be out of town and likely not online most of next week.
But I'll be thinking of you... sandwiched between a couple IRL birthdays I know of on the 17th and 19th.
 
Very successful day of making contacts, learning about a new business unit and helping work on some new product ideas.

Then a really late broker dinner, which was just too late for me. I ate too much and just wanted to go home and go to sleep.

Speaking of which, it looks like the weather will cooperate and I will get home before the snowstorm tonight. It will be so much nicer to sleep next to Mrs. Wonderer.

Speaking of which, where has @Mrswonderer been on this thread???
I hope you got home safely, W! 🤗🫂🤗

I have the same question! 😅😅
 
I've seen the blue for 15% ethanol (2001 and newer vehicles, the stuff that Scotty doesn't like - but Wat does and doesn't like Scotty), so this was a confusing seeing it for no ethanol. Then again, Buc-ee's may have blue for their no-ethanol. I can't remember. The no-ethanol pumps at one store close to home have red handles.


As always, read the labels.
I will, now! We don't have Buc-ees or Wawa here. I usually get my gas at Costco.

I will check with my boat guy about gas for the boat and small engines like the pressure washer and mower.

Last year, my neighbor put all the gas in the boat. He has a set of keys; I've finally convinced him to use it.
 
Good morning Wat, Winderer and Hulmule.

A short taxi run this morning as my grandson is going to the doc about an ear infection. I am taking my lovely granddaughter who likes to sing!

In will be home before the snow flies. We are expecting about 4 to 6 inches of Snow ( did he say 6 inches ? 🤣).

Saturday is probably the worst one of snow fall around 8 inches.

I have to shovel the patio as the old dog can only clear about 3 inches. 🤣
Be careful clearing the snow! 🫂💜🫂

We're supposed to get some tomorrow and Friday then it warms up and turns to rain.
 
Very cool. It's actually been real positive physically and mentally for me. I'm not trying to be Hercules but i do want to keep moving or at least be able to move with minimum pain.
My trainer has told me in the past I work harder than some of her younger clients. She knows I will at least attempt everything she asks. Even though there might be a lot of whining and moaning involved...🤣🤣🤣
