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

Went out with a co-worker to shoot some pool last night, he's only a few years younger than me so we're both in the 50's club. Two young guys came over and asked if we wanted to play, we said sure why not.

One of them says "We play in the league so we're looking to practice, you want to split up so its fair?"

Seriously?

It went as people here might expect, we whipped their sorry asses. At one point we were down to the 8 and the kid left me with just about nothing for a shot. His buddy high fives him tells him great leave and because I have to hit the 8 to not get ball in hand, I'm going to move it. I pulled off a crazy bank shot off the nipple of the side pocket and the kid was like "Holy shit, man, I didn't even think of that."

My buddy says, "Kid, he's been making that shot since before you were born. Now you owe us another round, and rack em up."

Youth and enthusiasm rarely is a match for age and experience.

And today they're like, "What's a clutch?"

My father told me he saw one of those motorcycles that are an automatic. He was morally offended.

Hey all! Guess what?

It's fucking snowing again!

And today they're like, "What's a clutch?"

Reminds me of learning to drive and stalling…

My dad: (look of disgust) more gas, less clutch. (This was his stock reply whenever I stalked, which was often in the beginning)

Finishing early-ish on this Friday night. It's not quite midnight here. I've had a busy first week back from vacation. Today was a gym day, my trainer really worked me over! I'll be sore tomorrow!

Everyone who is supposed to be asleep, I wish you fanciful dreams! Those of you over the pond starting your days, have a wonderful start to the weekend! ️

One guy complained several times about how I "talk to him." I told him, the equation is very simple: you do what I say the first time when I say to do it, and you'll never hear anything but compliments. Otherwise, you keep shitting on my job and I'll keep telling you that you're a selfish and inconsiderate little shit that needs to have to go out and cut himself a switch and prepare for a hidin'.


It really is that simple. His millennial ass needs to figure that out.

Another "thousand likes" comment!

A bunch of ego " you can't tell me what to do" bullshit...
They were raised by people who tried to manipulate the world so their kids wouldn't have to feel an inkling of discomfort.... I was raised that the world will grind you to dust unless you learn a few things...

Facts dont give a f%^& about your feelings was number 1

LMAO!
Did that from Arkansas to California... dad wasn't changing the starter, hell, he had 4 starters in the car, all boys, ranging in age 16 to 11.

 

[Boat1]

Did that shit in reverse because the car was headed up hill.


Always remember to turn the key to "on/run" first . . . .

Pull started an automatic (cast iron Powerglide) 57 Chevy... get her up to about 30-35 mph, drop her from neutral into gear... it worked

The beatings will continue till morale improves!

One of the best first sergeants I ever had had a poster saying that in his office.

He was also fond of saying “what we got here is a failure to communicate.” (From cool hand luke)

He was truly a great leader. Inspirational.

I also like this one (credit to my Lovely Wife)

And today they're like, "What's a clutch?"

Good Morning or whatever time applies...
Last night was hell for Lady K! You see she has thyroid issues, COPD, severe scoliosis, with a kyphosis. I
She was in excruciating pain all day and her meds weren't as effective probably because of the weather.
She has a lot of such days, but some are more painful than others
I feel helpless because there is nothing I can do to alleviate her pain. It's the worst torture imaginable. She turned down a medication that contains fentayl because she doesn't want to get addicted..
I know I can speak freely here, but I'm sorry to say all this. Thanks for being here for me.

We've pull started an old international harvester bulldozer... And the dump truck we were loading with it. Most things on the old farm were pretty tired. LOL
