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

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.
Hope you’re better, brother.
 
Out in the middle of nowhere that ain’t gonna happen. You help yourself first but if it’s serious I would need airvac out!
I fell into a hole a few weeks ago. I was cleaning a streambank that was eroding and the bank collapsed. I got stuck up to my waist in the roots in the front and the new streambank behind me. No one was around and it took me a good 15-20 minutes to get myself to back out.
 
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 do!!! This is hot rod country up this way. Kinda can't wait to get up here for real for good and get after my car project. A 1947 Packard coupe with a straight 8, the big one for 1954, with whatever I can come up with for it.
 
A good case study was The Floyd. When Roger Waters left the group (or was kicked out?) in the early 80’s he assumed the name would be retired. Gilmour, Mason, and Wright had other plans and it went to court…all over whether they could keep the name without all members agreeing.

Judge ruled in the remaining bands favor and Pink Floyd lived with three of the original members (not including Syd B). So It does appear it “lives until it doesn’t!” 🤣


Yeah, true, but we still know which one's Pink.


Hint: it was Barrett until it was Waters.
 
There was so much good T-shirt art from that era! I’d love to find a collection of the different Silk Screens of that time.
My wife wore her 47 yo t shirt from Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes today. She and one of her girlfriends are gonna go see them at the stone pony tonite in Asbury Park.

She only wore it once that night (new years eve at the capitol theater 1977/78.

That band was not the same once Syd became an acid casualty.

I have to say I’m really partial to early Pink Floyd with Syd. He only lasted one record, but what a record!!!
 
I’m all caught up.

Made one last trip to NYC to finish cleaning out my moms place. The end of an era.

My sisters were amazing and when I got there all I needed to do was move so me heavy furniture. They’d boxed everything up. Bubble wrapped all the big paintings and pics.

Pretty easy move.
 
still 5+ pages behind today. shoulda had Wheaties for brekkie

mini catch up

edited: a bit more caught up
Snipping that first bit out. Others have addressed it.
No need for me to hammer it, too.
How can you leave TDK behind, Wat??? 😅😅
*puts on tinfoil hat*
That's exactly what I was thinking, Lili!! :oops:
I need lessons! @Wat_Tyler, are you available to teach me the menacing stare? I have a very good RBF, will that help? 🤣😅🤣
What time's class, @Wat_Tyler ? :ROFLMAO:
Thanks, G! 😘🤗

Today was difficult, as anticipated. I (mostly) held it together while I was in the CU. Broke down when I got to my car. Fortunately for me, my friend was available for a call. 🥰🥰
(((L))) Sounds like you have a good support system! That must've been very hard today. 🫂
I'm so ready to try the bacon butty and the chip butty!!!

Chip Butty - often topped with either malt vinegar or brown sauce

I was JUST thinking that! I realized when I saw Likes posting coffee memes.
Yeah, I think we're all missing her and her coffee memes :coffee: Come back, OM, come back to us!!
Thank you, W!🤗😘 I need to be reminded to do that. I'm not good about giving grace to myself. 🙄😤
I need reminders and lessons on this subject, too.

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!
don't forget the puppy pile... you have scheduled time for puppy piles, have you not? *taps foot expectantly*
 
I am not having a problem with any of your posts. If a shy English Gentleman is okay well.......the others can speak for themselves.
I do declare, thank you kindly, fine Sir! I've been trying to keep it clean. Some of you just leave that door wide open and like a button, I just go for it. I'm working on my filter :censored:
 
Are you two cleaning up the thread? https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcoLjjbVInIcq1MNkAc-dtzsgUOlui1AWvckfjiMXhvOHWft2v5Nn4-hUbBpNH-Qm8K-vSMoOCLvxARFjZIF_zRQsxPwS9petvUd5C8R2Cfj_Mt19oJk7qRriHKEKS9YcN4xsqqLB4QjHxRNpH1m1FLalkL?key=jY9Az0Ixp_0zToql93IJFw I'm surprised you didn't clean me out! I do have a tendency to be crude and come across flirty at times. (or did I miss the que??? I am oblivious at times https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeKuZ0ouVIazS-ArGkis8OBSf3sJU7uAWrqj3YqYOFu7SFKAhOzJddjkhrPEGoXs1L_yk5gtNXKF04Afay-gFOdICaBNfn5nDeHWsorTA7dOZ5VpnzzU_oZHCZc9i7R8g-a1yinNGO6Uh1-afeeEakyylm8?key=jY9Az0Ixp_0zToql93IJFw )


Truth be told I don't know how not to be. I grew up with guy friends a group of them and we all were like this. My parents/grandparents tried to "DiNozzo slap" it out of me when I was in High School. Also, I have been trying to be better in here :D

chipping away... still a few pgs behind

They welcomed me before I turned fifty.
(((Zuly))) Our schedules almost never meet. :love: seeing you here!! Young whipper-snapper :LOL:
Please be careful. I fell in a hole a decade ago and it never got diagnosed right and led to major pain and then major surgery years ago.
Better now I hope?? 🤗
including apples for horses.
you will be very popular!!
:heart: 🍎 🍏
*munches on 🍏 while catching up*
I was just going to start there first since it was simple.
pfft. where's the fun in that?
Why not jump in the deep end first... then berate yourself for not doing a perfect job the very first time... then have @Wonderer67 remind you to show yourself some grace 🤷‍♀️ :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
The whole work can stay the fuck - and by "fuck," I mean all the fuck, not just part of it - off my damned tractor.
this sounds very much like "never touch another man's fries".
got it - fries, tractor...

all kidding aside - hope the tractor is none the worse for this unexpected adventure
 
looks like i'm destined to remain 3 pages behind all day :LOL:

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!
yes, yes, yes - make clippings and start growing!!!
hope you feel better soon
Thanks as need the zen.
(((B2))) Hope you find some internal zen today, B2

The good news is there are tons of clubs and info and bee keepers seem to be a friendly lot!
yes - most professional bee keeper businesses are pretty friendly and approachable, too. some have blogs or open tour days where they share lots of info to hobbyists.
