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

I have something like this - very similar. I wake up at night mid-thought. It's a bit better, but it's still there.


The landlady got some guy to fix the car trailer. Needed a spot of welding. Then she/they buried the fucking tractor behind it all. We had already discussed - very specifically - that we had no cars to haul anytime soon and didn't need to fix the trailer anytime soon. We didn't need to spend money on it. Besides, I'm doing a welding class and it would have made a lovely practical project. Not anymore. Shit like this chaps my ass.


People wonder why I have trust issues. I don't.


Happy Saturday. I'll be off in a bit to go to town and see a few friends and to get some stuff from the store, including apples for horses.
I am.annoyed for you..... like really.... don't people listen to what you (we) say..... annoying

Stick with critters..they never disappoint
 
Chapped ass = really annoyed.


Welding projects at the farm = neverending


I was just going to start there first since it was simple. The idea that she spent money to get it fixed was/is a waste, and most of all, we had agreed that it didn't need doing before next year. And then she let him back my tractor in the hole in the back. The whole work can stay the fuck - and by "fuck," I mean all the fuck, not just part of it - off my damned tractor.
Yep.... you had the convo and she agreed.... and stay the fuck of wats tractor....grrrr
 
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?
🤓 Ahem. Finally, a question my degree comes in useful for.....sadly nothing to do with my career.

The answer to your question depends on what sort of band. If the band is comprised amateur collective of musicians that existed for themselves, then I'd say the name dies out with the grouP

BUT:

Most commercially produced bands are entities themselves....a business....a brand. They may have certain "roles" that must be filled (a type of lead vocal or a specific guitar style ect.) but think of those things as positions in a company rather than the actual person filling that role. Does the All American Highschool Marching Band change its name when it's members graduate? Is Macy's no longer Macy's once the original employees change out? No and neither does Styx, Journey, ect.

Ok Nerd is done. Sorry lol
 
Party at HDHs!

We gotta test out that new patio and firepit. I’m sure you won’t mind!! 😂
The crew almost got it finished yesterday! And yes, the whole Spoon is invited! Although, I suggest we wait a month and let it cool off! It was 94 or 5 here yesterday and 96 the day before. Humid to boot 🥵…Pot luck as I want to try all the good stuff we’ve posted over the last several months! I’m making a Chorizo Queso dip that’s been floating around her family for years. Only downer…got a stomach bug yesterday 🤢…took an activated charcoal pill and wife gave me her Mexican Estafiata tea from leaves out of her grandfathers garden. We still have a few, although he’s been dead over ten years. I guess I better grow it myself!

Here’s to some cooler weather coming and Labor Day weekend fun for all Morning Zen…

Thanks as need the zen.
 
My buddy started raising bees a couple years ago. We get a lot of free honey. But it sounds a lot more difficult than it seems.
My youngest went to a Montisorri school. They had an aviary. He was one of the bee keepers. You’d be ok starting with one hive probably, but you definitely need to do some reading as there are some technical aspects of it. The good news is there are tons of clubs and info and bee keepers seem to be a friendly lot!

One of the guys I work with has a farm in the foothills of Virginia. He has several hives and other than the diseases the colony can get, it’s the bears that he has to deal with! 😮…or maybe it was just one bear, but…a bears a bear!
 
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 . . . .
Rat Rods! Ha! Remember Ed Ruth’s art from the 60’s or 70’s? The T-shirts were everywhere back then. I had one of the Rat Fink ones. My mom hated it.
 
I love that. ‘It’s bit for everyone’ as code for ‘please leave you don’t for our narrow definition of fifty plus’.
Hello KateAt55. I think maybe we got off on the wrong foot with you. This is a very inclusive group in the The Spoon, but we do tend to cover each others 6’s and protect “the vibe” as we like to call it. It’s not to run you off, or code, or a narrow definition of 50+…it’s just a gentle hint to read the room. As MissK and Lili said this is a very different room than any other on Lit and we like it this way.

Please come back, share a bit, get to know a few of us, or just go back several pages and get the “vibe”…you’ll soon find you probably will feel very welcomed here and like more than a few of us, a great way to start or end the day.

The olive branch extended. Please feel free to take it.
