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

An easier day today to finish around 19,000 steps but midge fodder this afternoon. This was taken in the line of butts in between drives.

Beautiful scenery! Gorgeous boys!

50 plus means we have old people here, right? I have a question then for you all. If a band starts several decades ago and then through the years has people get replaced either because they quit or are kicked out or die or whatever and then eventually the band has zero original members in it, should they still get to use the name?

Hmmm... Good question, Tom!

From this afternoon…

That's a 2-fer for me... and
I miss the sometimes but never the sting

I'm not a fan of beer; I'd rather drink wine. However, I might have drunk my weight in beer every night of Oktoberfest my first year of college in Munich.

So my company gives us two volunteer days, which I usually break into four half days. This morning I volunteered at a local farm called America Gro, which donates all of its produce to those who are needy.

They own four local farms, and last year they donated 3,700,000 pounds of produce. I usually volunteer here a few times a year. Today about 40 of us picked 28,000 pounds of eggplant and cucumbers.

Even for only working four hours, it was pretty hard work! People brought their kids, it was fun. Met a bunch of good people!!

We picked almost 19 of these big bins worth of produce!

That's cool you do that, W!

ditto but without the midges preferably

Same! My fair skin would be nectar to them!

Greylag is a shotgun guy. He likely shoots bunnies and birds, I'm guessing.


Here Out West. It got pretty warm this afternoon. There were a few showers along the way which provided a bit of a break in the heat. The old truck did fine. I saw a 1963 Buick Riviera, that late 30's International truck that sits under an awning near one turn on the route, and a 1948 Ford larger truck done up as a rat rod. It looked as though it might have a diesel. I was turning as it was coming, so I didn't get a chance to stare.


Horses are good, We spoke. Goats are good. We also spoke. Dogs are happy - hot Labs. I have meat treats. I brought supper, so that decision is made.


Looks like a picture won't attach to a PM. Hmmmm . . . .

You have to use an app like Imgur or ibb to upload a photo in DMs. It's stupid! We should be able to upload a photo in DMs as we do on the threads.

I can't criticize but who ever though of that. I get hot yoga but goat yoga?

It's a thing, especially with baby goats!

Just me, Macie, and Beethoven. I don't think she's as impressed with his 5th symphony as I am.

Have a good sleep, L2WU! I plan on doing much of the same. I also need to make some lists...

*peeks in*
Hello all.

Good evening, A! How was your Friday?

 

[Lilianna23]

I like nerdy girls.

I was a Chemical guy in the Army.
Too bad it wasn't much science though.

More blowing up of stuff?

 

[Lilianna23]

I love that. ‘It’s bit for everyone’ as code for ‘please leave you don’t for our narrow definition of fifty plus’.

We've only made definitions for our thread. You can decide if you like them and want to hang out here with us... or not.

 

[Lilianna23]

I didn't know we were so close geographically.

I'm in Western WA!

 

[Lilianna23]

Sounds wonderful.

I feel very fortunate to live where I do. I love it here!

 

[Greylag]

Beautiful scenery! Gorgeous boys!

Thank you, I am blessed to be able to do this!

You forgot to mention champagne!

 

[Lilianna23]

Yeah! You should SEE the stuff she posts...whoa man

Okok I'll see myself out

Be careful, Qky! Miss K is known for her eye pokies!

 

[Lilianna23]

Perfect puppy pile

Yes! Although I fear G wouldn't let us play with them. Something, something " working dogs"... All work and no play, amirite?

 

[Greylag]

So, I intend to spend the next two days recovering from long days on the hill but loads to do as well. Paperwork, grass cutting and renewing the electric fence around the property. I think the insulators are worn an£ there are faults somewhere. At least the weather is due to be fine!

 

[Lilianna23]

I was talking about ‘wveryday stuff’ by my definition. I won’t again don’t worry

Sounds like this isn't the thread for you...

 

[Greylag]

No you aren’t right. I fell down a hole yesterday on the hill and immediately had 120lbs of labradors playing and licking me. You are okay Dad come on let’s have fun. Took me a few minutes to get off my back. One of the girls came over to help me up. Said she knew I was okay as I was fighting labradors off not screaming in pain! At least nobody got their mobile phones out.

I wasn't much of a champagne drinking girl in college. That came later when I had money and a more refined palate!

That sounds like lots of work, G! Try not to get yourself electrocuted.

I would pay to see incriminating photos like that!

But seriously, you're OK, right?
