On that bombshell…your Morning Z:

 

[Wonderer67]

Not sure if it's razor wit, or just razors for my wrists with this service!

I’m just ONE person here!

“Help OM! I’m in the weeds!!”

Happy Wednesday!!! I read it all - some sank in. I'm on cup #2. We're going to town for breakfast in a little while. And to visit. I was a regular there when I worked here, so they'll remember me.


No, Lili, no more nurses. Been awhile, actually.


This auction site does a 15 minute rule. They don't do sniper bidding. I'll put one in tomorrow afternoon. I'm still trying to decide how much money I'll get off of for it. It is through the blessings of Allah that I can afford such frivolity as it is. I may get out and shoot the one I have.


I'm reading a M1 book. How to build one to make it more accurate and better functioning. Looks like fun, actually. I've already learned a great deal, such as about lapping the bolts.


I have never operated a Lee Enfield, but their (they're/there) bolts are legendary. I have an Eddystone M1917 which has the bestest bolt of any rifle I own. Mauser bolts tend to be a touch sticky. I wonder if they can be stoned or polished or the like to make them better. No matter - I'm stuck on M1s ATM

[Yesok1]

That's some damn pissy "coffee."

I'm half wondering if it's tea. Even then it looks weak and horrible!

[Wat_Tyler]

Actually, I have 2 of them, and I think that's enough.


I'm bidding on a WW2-era rifle. Maybe.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Tepid urine, I say.


Probably with an infection somewhere . . . .

I love Dark Side of the Moon! I'm with you on Sade, also! Girl can SING!

I can't believe I for got to list HEART as one of my all-time favorites! Those ladies have consistently put out great music!

I'm also mostly unimpressed with new artists covering the old bands. Knowing the originals, they pale in comparison. That said, I do quite like Dua Lipa and Elton John's mashup of Cold Heart.

I’ve seen The Floyd twice (Gilmour version in ‘88 and ‘94) and Sade three times! I love Jazz and she’s about the closest thing we have to a smoldering sultry jazz voice in our age. For those that have only heard the easily listening radio version of her, give that band a deep dive. You wont be disappointed.

Heart! Talk about another woman with a set of pipes! Ann is right up there vocally in my book with Sade, LInda Ronstadt, and Karen Carpenter for pure vocal range. Nancy wasn’t bad on guitar either.

As a rule, I don’t follow modern pop…except…Dua! She popped up on my radar during the Lockdowns and countless hours surfing U-Toob! I like the Elton collaboration she did. But I think my favorite is this:

Bonus Linda!

 

[kathyisgr65]

Where ya been Kathy?

I e been here and there...but the weather is getting pretty so I'm spending more time outside doing stuff then stuck inside hiding from the cold.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

It might be a good thing. Now the music is free? My first concert was Led Zepplin and tickets was $15, but that was about eight times minimum wage at the time and an album then cost $10.

First band I saw…The Man in Black…Johnny Cash! Came to our HS gym, went with my mom and dad, I was maybe 6…7 tops?

Second band. K.C. And the Sunshine Band! Church trip to Carowinds in Charlotte. It was an amphitheater there in ‘74…me and several other kids climbed over the wall and snuck in. Even though you could hear the music all over.

 

[kathyisgr65]

Love Lana del Rey.

I like that song she sings w father John Misty. It’s a beautiful song.

U say Lana del Rey..8 say the future Mrs Kathy.. tomato tahmato

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

They’re good at giving advice… but not good at tak….

(makes scrunchy ooops face as Lilliana and Miss K give me the stink eye)

Such a good observation

 

[Greylag]

Its a new day here, I think I'm still waiting for my coffee.

Taps nails on the table.

Oh dear another one star review heading their way

 

[Greylag]

Filling in for OM this morning. Coffe is on the house!

Well done you just averted a disaster. Slashed wrists, such a messy way to go and so much paperwork. I am not sure which is worse…….guess it’s the paperwork!

A little help

 

[Greylag]

I was down for the count last night. I'm trying to catch up, but it's a losing battle for me tonight! I'm headed for bed. Good night, everyone!

Good night Lili

 

[Greylag]

Well while some of you are sipping coffee and others snoring I have been up a ladder cleaning gutters out!

Cleaning gutters is not fun at all. When I replaced my very old gutters, I had a leaf and debris guard put in. It has been working great for the past 5 yyears.

About coffee - yes black is best when I know the source (Sumatra), roaster (local and not Star ((burn)) bucks), and roasting process (low acid). Otherwise I need cream to tap down the bitterness.

Afternoon tea - Yorkshire or Barry's.

 

[kathyisgr65]

Since OM is out and I’m going to work, ill put a giant pot of coffee on. It’s as big as a house.

Its in Bedford PA - we saw it when we were walking the Pennsylvania portions of the Appalachian trail during Covid.

I saw Bedford PA...and 8 had to reread it cuy I grew up in Bedford TX... little fact

 

[kathyisgr65]

Talking about burnt coffee...I LOVE IT!!!! 8 used to work graveyard shifts at a convenience store and the first thing I did was poor a cuppa mud that had been sitting in the pot burning for 8 hrs..but 8 didn't drink it black (8 like non burnt coffee strong and black) but the mud needed sugar and cream...mmmm now I'm craving coffee crack
