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

I have a few shirt boxes full of photos that go back as early as the 20's and earlier family portrait photos 1898. I have them organized a bit so they don't wear against each other. But scanning them in became to feel impossible. As scanning wasn't too bad. Cropping the photos out of the 5 or 6 I can fit on the scanner bed got so monotonous I never finished scanning them all or cropping them. I need to do that. The photos are cool as that age is rare to see anymore. They just drove out in the country and picked berries. Like there wasn't any fences or anything. They looked dressed up everyday too.
Wow, that is priceless!

I think 2 or 3 photos of my great grandmother survived! A box full is a massive family treasure!

Good for you.

Folks, we've got less than 70 pages to go here
It's been a riveting story so far... let's see how it ends, shall we?

Back later, spoonies...

When I bought my place, one of my brothers helped me shop for a set of basic tools. Just the stuff that's handy to have around the house for normal type stuff.
I've kept them organized and looking like new for 20+ years because I was taught:
Treat your tools well and they'll treat you well

Thanks to the handyman most of my tools are now looking like they were rode hard and put away wet. There's even a few missing that he "found here at my place". Honestly!

At least I know where they are - now the trick is getting him to remember to bring them back here the next time he shows.*

Irritating part - Yes, I can find something to replace them. But this particular set is no longer sold. So there is no replacing the part of the set if he doesn't return it. It will be a hunt for "something similar that will still work" at best. :mad:

I cannot wait for the day when he finishes these last few items. Then I can be done and never call him again.

Sad thing - he does decent work for a decent price. But he ghosts like a MFer and communicates for :poop: which makes dealing with him stress-inducing and maddening. Never again - I'll need to try and find a different handyman for any future jobs... and I will never recommend him to any of my friends/family!

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. :ROFLMAO:

*He's ghosted me for almost 3 weeks again
That sucks, Likes! I feel your pain! 🤬
 
Home. Got out later. Had to drive in the dark. Twarn't skeert. Made some phonecalls for conversation along the way. Here's hoping that we entertained the FBI listening in. I didn't capitalize that either. Most of my front porch loot was here when I got here. More comes tomorrow. TDK is over there tearing up some of the packing paper. Everyone looks good. I ordered them a new water fountain gizmo. Here's hoping they like it. It's supposed to be good for cats who eat a lot of kibble. Mine do.
 
Now that's a real car. Elephant engine and modern drivetrain id be in hog heaven. 1000 HP oh what a treat
1000hp would tear it apart. You'd need too much new stuff, and with 1000hp you run out of road before you run out of throttle anyway.

Nice comfortable 350-400hp, and just enough cam to rumble. Tuned to run on pump gas. Friday night cruising. Cars like that turn heads at 25-30 mph... ;)
 
When I first started reading about hot rods and hot engines, if you could make 400HP, you were a fucking jeenyus. Nowadays, if all you make is 400HP, well, you suck, Buddy.
Yep. But stuff that'll do 1000+ HP isn't built to last. Just like asking 2L to make a gazillion hp with a turbo now. They're great for about 80K miles...

I have a recipe for a 400-something Mopar wedges and about 600HP. That and some gears will inhale almost anything it encounters. I have a 1942 rust bucket coupe body which is my proposed candidates for said engine. It's about 3400 pounds as is and will probably gain a couple hundred when I swap the B Block for the flathead 6. Or maybe not. Pump gas, shitty mileage, and who cares? Ride by kids? They hear the racket? Stop and burn some rubber and make some noise and give them something to remember when they're old-n-gray.
 
It was 60 degrees in here when i woje up. Changed tge filter and turned it in.... it was brrrrrr
the cheapskate in me has a tough time turning on the heat in October. I did start a fire in the wood stove. House was freezing this afternoon when I came outta the office (which was toasty w the space heater).
 
I am reading a very interesting but depressing book, called “Fiasco.” It’s about gulf war 2.

I will not violate the no politics rule.


Body modification? :cool:
Some wild stuff out there... some with magnets. Ooh - there was a documentary about a man that embedded a device into his body and his experiences with feeling North all the time.


The Guardian: Meet the first humans to sense where north is
I have a good sense of direction. It used to be a lot better. I feel like I always know which way is which.
