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

This is true, and that is why they have electric back-up "strip" heat. It shows on the t-stat as "emergency heat." That means that your electric meter is in danger of spinning so fast that it'll come off the house and go into orbit.


That may be a bit over-dramatized, but you get the picture.

I just got a visual of my heat pump rising from the ground and rocketing into space!

Im a few pages behind I think. Up early to drive to Philly for the day. Looking forward to the people and meetings there but not the commute.

Luckily the 4H fair and tractor pulls are tonite, and I’ll meet my wife there. It’s only an hour from Philly and 30 minutes south of us so it’s actually good logistically. Wife will catch a ride with some friends and I’ll bring her home.

Eat some fun fair food for dinner.

That sounds like fun, W! Our fair starts Aug 30. I'm trying to decide if I want to go.

More like "Who is the freaky redhead that popped out of nowhere?"

Oh, yay! Another redhead! Come sit by me! Although I surrendered to the grey many years ago, I'm still a redhead at heart!

@Lilianna23 wants glitter she gets glitter!

You are SO good to me, OM! ️️

 

[Lilianna23]

Thanks I am away about a week so might just be lurking.

Oh, please do! You never know what kinds of shenanigans will happen at this bar! I even heard there might have been a topless bartender night once!

If we are going there, I prefer to do that much more often than 3 moths. It's relaxing, I'd probably do that every day. Poor poor guy when that chance finally happens. I already know the flouriest I will use to send flowers to his family..

Or lucky guy! ……shit did I just say that? (Go sits in the corner blushing in embarrassment)

 

[Lilianna23]

There's a menacing quality that I have. Got it from somewhere. It shuts up the bitching except for the blind and the blithering. Kinda like a Clint Eastwood character.

You might think you're menacing. I think TDK and Ethyl know better!

Not sure where you are getting your information from but that can’t possibly be true. (Crosses his fingers behind his back, looks at the ceiling and starts whistling)

Good morning Wat. I considered selling but the cost of houses, even smaller ones, were out of my range. So, I have decided to get rid of clutter. Maybe next year I will reassess my situation.

I haven't even considered that yet. I do have a lot of stuff to go through and get rid of. Also, I would be very reluctant to leave my neighborhood. We take care of each other here.

slow night at local college haunt

Good morning all. I just missed Lilli.

The cool weather is going east slowly. It was in the 40s this morning.

I did 2 miles yesterday unlike the 12 OM does. The knees don’t hold up as they used to.

On cup # 2. 2 massages today, one by my GF and the other by a therapeutic masseuse which my back is in need of.

Have a great day.

You did! Only because I literally fell asleep in the middle of posting on here! Maybe today???

 

[Lilianna23]

This morning there was a fire at a mulching facility and its smoke is driving folks down wind. Fortunately I am east of it and the winds are blowing from the north west.

Please be careful if the wind shifts. You do not want to be breathing that stuff in!

 

[Lilianna23]

Here are some of his. The girl was my best friend growing up. He painted her a lot. She passed during covid

I'm still looking for his clint picture.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.
He's a very gifted painter.

This is good advice! I'm fairly particular and also have trust issues. I could never just have a stranger here.

I know I sound bossy, but I say what I say based on experience and not stuff I picked up in my reading. And I like you and don't want to see/hear about problems that came your way from something 100% avoidable. This is why you introduce new chickens to the flock at night.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

We do have a gas furnace. The heat pump is over 10 years old. AFAIK it's still working fine. Should I have it checked?

Find a reputable HVAC contractor in your area and see about a service contract. If it dies, you can replace it was an a/c. It'll be cheaper. But ride that pony over the finish line. If it does die in winter, you'll still be toasty warm. You have a Cadillac system.

 

[Lilianna23]

I generally agree but there are times. Recently some neighbors thought it was great to have fireworks going off all over the place. I snapped and went out to the street and gave them the old drill sergeant voice. (I wasn't one but was recruited to give commands for large formations). I forget what I said but it worked.

I have a very soft voice, so that option is not available to me. My RBF is epic, however!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Thursday!!! It's still cooler here, too. Maybe 80 today and below 60 now. It's a nice touch. Beginning to feel like some headway is being made at work. That's a nice touch. I also like the guys we have working there. Even the drywall goof tried, I reckon. Anyway, cup #1 is underway.

Om has a policy.. dont start something there won't be something..... and FAFO

Uh, oh! Someone must have started something! I hope their jail sentence is much longer than hers!

 

[Lilianna23]

I agree.... once they are there hard to get rid of... I recommend more animals.... they keep you warm and make you laugh

My girl is a jealous one! Unless I get her a kitten. She likes cats!

 

[likes2watchU]

cold pack #867
may as well try this sleep thing again
3.5 hrs is better than none, right?
may need an extra alarm or two though

 

[Lilianna23]

Probably no GF as her kitten is not holding down food 2 days after an operation. Sending my heart and well wishes to her.

Poor baby! All of you! Is she taking the kitten to the vet? When they're small and young, they don't have much on reserve. They can become dehydrated quite quickly.

Annual servicing is worth the investment!

 

[Lilianna23]

If you get eal quiet when you talk so they have to lean in to listen that works too

I am exactly like that! The more angry I am, the lower and slower I talk. It's fairly effective! That and RBF!

Oh thank you I will come over to the bar with you!
