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

Morning all. Busy day of farm work in store and a fun nite planned. Ready for cuppa number 1.
No spark screen?
No real need. Were typically more careful than this… it was a little too breezy for a fire last nite.

Looks like you're using gasoline to start your fire, or a whole pack of fire lighters?
Have never used gas to start a fire. It’s old dry ash wood. Best thing abt the ash blight is that ash is excellent firewood, and there’s a lot of it. Just about 7/8 pieces of crumpled up newspaper some old, dry pine boughs and it caught quickly as always.

I have hundreds of pieces of firewood that are too small to sell, so we use those usually.
That's quite a flame W67! I noticed your hub cap collection........what's the story - cars you've owned?
Yes, mostly old Torino hubcaps. I always keep a few exports on hand, cuz periodically we’ll lose one. My wife had a Mustang back in the day so a bunch of those old ones too and a few others we got at car shows and swap meets etc.

Have a good one, everyone.
 
Good morning WT and Wonderer. Slept in to 530. 🤣. Feeling good with my first cup. And you?


Still got a bit of pain in my jaw, but except for a jolt as the Novocaine wore off and before the Ibu kicked in, it's not too bad.


This is the M1 carbine whose stock I refinished last month. It got a thorough cleaning and lubing, and it was test-fired. It's ready. I'd like another.

Great looking m1! Let me know how it goes!

That’s a rifle live always wanted. But… illegal in NJ… I guess if you blocked the magazine to 10 rounds it’d be ok. I think? (Don’t get me started and as we said in post #1, no politics, religion or drama!)

have fun! I’m thinking of test firing the 1953 Russian SKS I got a few weeks ago.

Lots of work to do at our woodland property today.

Have a good one all!!
 
I'm not sure if they make a short mag for the carbine. The standard one is 15 rounds and the extended one is 30 rounds.

Now I want another carbine. I saw an Inland for sale the other day. Better part of 2 grand. I know . . . .
 
The NFL draft is all the talk on the local news (I live near Detroit). Who knows how well a college player will do in the NFL but the excitement is there and fans hope is eternal. For 50 years I was a wait and see fan of the Detroit Lions as they had poor teams and even worst drafts. Now that Ford women have taken control, the team is better. HHhm I wonder if a woman President would also do better.

So exciting this go round! Can't wait to watch the Chargers with Harbaugh - and it was funny - everyone was shocked when ATL picked a QB.....
 
I am multitasking. On lit while I’m on a boring call. Don’t tell my boss!!

It’s been cool here in Jersey and had to bring my plants in last nite. Typical for this time of year. And no rain on the horizon. Last year, we had an extremely dry spring as well, followed up by a very wet summer.

We own a small farm (mostly woodland for firewood) but we do also grow seedlings for our farm stand and also sell pumpkins and gourds and sunflowers.

Can’t control the weather!!

Back to my boring call!

...sure hope you were working from home! :D there was a kid (to me he was a kid) who got caught watching porn at work - did not come out well for him..plus everyone heard about it :LOL:
