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

There were some fab bands in that period: the bands you listed, but also Northern Soul, some amazing funk bands, Sweet, Slade, Parliament Funkadelic, Hawkwind.

But, I would rather listen to the Cockney Rejects rather than cockney Rebel. My wife and I met them and they told us the story behind this epic top of the pops performance.

“We had about 7 or 8 ciders that morning. Vince (their bass player) had 12, 13 maybe 15 before going on stage.”

It shows.
Brilliant story!
 
Building in floodplains is an absolute no! The building and planning departments should never allow it. View attachment 2572068
You would think. We keep having "100 year floods" every few years. Houses get destroyed and ppl rebuild where they were. It's their property, after all. I understand it from their point of view but I would never do the same.
 
Good morning on a lazy Sunday. My empathy for the 3 am club.

It’s raining all day and then it’s turning colder. I guess autumn has arrived.

I’m really trying hard to live day by day. Planning is part of my personality. So this change is going to take time. Feel free to offer tips.
I'm working on the same thing. Right now, I'm stuffing my calendar with projects and to do lists.

Maybe we can help each other! 😘🤗
 
I remember when we first met decades ago, tall, shy, but certain. Gorgeous thick straight black hair, great smile with a twinkle in Your eyes when you laughed. Your work was amazing. I explained the system and you followed it. I could trust you and I knew at some point we would be friends And we did, you became part of my family.
Over the years, we were there for each other, filled in each other’s gaps, when I was having trouble finding a place, you said I could live with you, you helped me with every moved, checked out every guy and I handled the things you couldn’t. We liked the same music, food, and hanging out just chatting on the back porch or the garage in the evenings. You worked for me and I worked for you. When I didn’t have a credit card and needed one, you gave me yours to use. We were friends and I never thought the end would come so soon. It’s still just hitting me that we won’t talk or see each other when I get home, that we won’t laugh again.
I keep remembering the day you came running toward my car as I was backing out yelling “ I love you! ( pause) but not like that,” us laughing and people staring. I loved you too, although I never said it, I think you knew. Rip.
I am very sorry for your loss.
I do, however, love the words you wrote.
We grow up knowing that we will likely see our parents pass. Losing friends is different.
Remember we love you...but not that way!
 
It was an awesome day! Started out with a dead calm on the river. Slow motored a couple of miles to a creek my son had been wanting to fish all summer. We get in and he instantly starts catching some small pin fish, but he’s excited even though they’re not keepers. We go a mile or so up to a bridge we cross every day on the way to school, startled a six foot basking alligator, and decided it was time to head back to the river.

Got back and some doood had camped out at the mouth of the creek so we headed back towards the hill. That’s when we go into them. Caught 3 slot puppy drum, and lost a fourth! The wind had picked up so we decided to head back in, and none too soon! It was a wet ride (our in between boat is a small creek boat) but we capped probably one of the best days out in a couple of months!

Here’s the funny part. Call SWMBO to give her a heads up supper is on the way. She’s been blindsided with granddaughter duty and starts whining and tells me to take it to mommas. I did and she whipped up some slaw and beans and it just was a fitting end to a really nice day on the water.

Oh…I did find a project boat! Hey Wat…think we can fix her?

Just cosmetic damage, looks like! 😅🤣😅
 
You might be better off with a 4' stepladder because it's higher even if you don't climb past one step. Besides, there the Not-A-Step there to use as a shelf, and that comes in handy.
Now you tell us! Wasn't it you who told me to get a 2-step? Maybe it was W or H. IDK. The lot of you yelled at me for getting up on a chair! 🤭
