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

Interesting day. I managed to get this "push" thing over the finish line. Alone. By myself. No "helpers." Since they were no help, why not?


The mayor from the Other Job has his DUI court date tomorrow. No, I didn't call MADD to put in an appearance. I stayed out of it. I sure AF hope they post the sentence, and I hope they throw several books at him.
Of course you did! You're Wat! I hope you got all the credit! And maybe a bonus?
 
One year I made a fuck ton of macadamia chocolate chip cookies to give away at Christmas. I lived with my boyfriend and our roommate who was a notorious chowhound.

My parents were visiting that year. I noticed the cookie pile was dwindling. I angrily mentioned to my mom that I was going to kick Paul's (roommate) butt for eating my cookies. She said, "Um, sweetie, I don't think it's Paul. I think it's your dad."

My tune instantly changed! "Oh, that's fine. Daddy can have what he wants. I can make more!" 🤣🤣
It’s all a matter of context!!
 
I do love me some Schimidts…I also love the Hofbrau Haus when I’m in town. I have to flip a coin…Bahama Mamma’s or Saurbraten?

So I knocked out my 3 miles today…right on the nose…but I get interrupted by a call from my mother.

She’s stuck in her room because the kids (moved in with her last year, to save money for a house) are all sick and she doesn’t want to catch their pox, so she wants me to come set up a spare coffee machine, hot plate and cooler for Half-n-Half and water. 😏.

OK…no problem momma…but then it gets better.

She’s going out to the shed to get a ladder so she can CLIMB IN AND OUT OF THE WINDOW…so she doesn’t have to interact with and catch a cold. 😮🙂↕️.

What the actual fuck momma?! 😫

I go over and talk her off the ledge…literally. OK…she wasn’t on the ledge…but she was dead serious! I don’t know if the Oxy is kicking in too hard this a.m. or if she’s being a drama queen?

I’m ready to buy a boat and sail to China…
No, Momma! No going out the window! 😱😱
 
Hiya spoonies.

I worked this morning, then went exploring this afternoon.

First, I went to Sandy Hook and checked out the cool old fort there. Pretty bad ass, it was protecting New York Harbor. Then after World War II, it became a Nike anti aircraft missile base.

Badass fortresses.

Sandy Hook lighthouse. The oldest lighthouse in America.

I found this bad ass 16 inch artillery piece. It only weighs 153 tons.range 25,000 yards. (23 miles). You can see the rifling in the last pic.


@Wat_Tyler - I don’t think they’ll be able to ship it to your house.
Beautiful light house
 
Good early morning denizens of the diner and of course nighthawks. Good day for our European friends.

Grandpa taxi warming up this morning. He needs coffee. OM where are you?😂

The rain is heading east. The heat returns until midweek and then it starts to become fall. Some trees are turning colors and many just dropping leaves because of the dry conditions. 😟

Take care

When I saw we were finally getting some rain I cut the grass and blew off all the leaves. Some trees start to turn in augusts here. By now are dropping enough to make a mess. Not near as many acorns this year as I’ve seen in years past. Does that mean anything? Or just a warning of a possible increase in squirrel damage this year?
 
Up. Coffee. More inspections today. Wat has the reputation in the office of the Teh One with the credit with the city to get shit passed. They misunderestimate that. Wat is the one who will go out of the office and walk the units and growl at the work weasels and insure that shit will pass before he calls it in to be looked at. He's good with inspectors, but being ready s the best way to be good with them, FFS.
