Funny confession story...
While partying with friends, I popped off a 1,500 foot "emergency at sea" parachute flare in the Ozark Mountains.... it lit the woods on fire, unbeknownst to everyone else....

I came back, after putting the fire out and said
"It's OOOOKAY, we're OOOOKAY!"...

That has become a figure of speech within my circle of friends.... they never knew, until my return and announcement, that anything had taken place...

There's even something funnier, but I ain't gonna post that here!

Now you HAVE to tell us!

 

[Lilianna23]

Caffeine?...
You meant Tequila, right??View attachment 2545885

Pretty! Are the bottles or the tequila red?

 

[Lilianna23]

You're correct, in that THEY'RE BOTH extremely powerful.... helluvit is, they're EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Awwwww!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good for you

Following the recipe, yes. I might have added a bit more sugar...

The scariest are firenados. San Diego has had problems with eucalyptus fires. The trees have so much oil in them and their resin makes them highly flammable.

Fir sure, pyrocumulonimbus fire systems heard of 10 years ago, now they are a hopping in scary numbers each year

 

[Lilianna23]

It did. I love it.

I have some nice recliners in the family room. My hubs wanted them so he got them. They're also very comfy to sleep in!

I did catch Lilli and out come the View attachment 2545902

Squeeeeeeal!

 

[Adventurous_soul]

Bye all have a great day!

Up at 3 for old dog. It’s raining pretty hard. I have an MRI of my hip at 830 and can’t eat or drink 4 hours prior to the scan. I don’t understand that. But I will dutifully comply. The nurses here will explain the 4 hour fasting.

I think I am going to use the recliner again for a snooze before the scan.

You may receive contrast and/or sedation for your study. Some people find the scanner to be claustrophobic or nausea-inducing. The reason for NPO (nothing by mouth) for a period of time is to make sure your stomach doesn't have any food or liquid you may vomit up. You do not want to aspirate (breathe in) stomach contents.

I hope your test is as benign as possible.

I have always found that sharing a bath or shower with a partner about a minute and a half before bedtime helps me fall asleep almost instantly!

Quick draw McGraw?

 

[Lilianna23]

Absolutely! I have always regarded gym work as very much a spectator sport. And now I know the permitted dress code at your gym...I'm bringing popcorn!

Be careful! My trainer is a hard task mistress! She might make you WORK!

Fire is my number 1 fear!

Similar to our fires in 2021. Here's what it looked like on the lake:

There was a fire very near us; the evacuation zone was less than a quarter mile from our house. I had go bags packed for us and the dog's crate, food, and water packed in the truck. Here's a picture of fire INSIDE a tree!

holy shit! That’s too close for comfort.

Glad everything turned out ok!

That looks real bad, were there embers falling from the sky?

no - the fire was nowhere near us. It was like 500 miles away in Canada. It just blew the smoke towards us. No embers or ash. Everything smelled like a nasty campfire tho.

 

[Wonderer67]

I hope the smoke smell is not strong where you are, Likes.


I can hardly wait to see what @Wonderer67 and @nipplecaresser have to say...

That’s my nickname!

 

[Lilianna23]

All this talk of fires is scary! As our planet grows hotter, we will see more. Here's a handy map you can use to track fires over the US. I don't think Canadian fires are reported here.

I didn't sleep well last night so I'm hoping for better sleep tonight. Have a terrific Thursday, everyone! ️

 

[Wonderer67]

@Wonderer67 feel free to chime in here...
He's East Coast and I'm Midwest, but I don't recall talk of embers in 2023 or with the current fires.

Here's what the web has to say:

This is dead on.

What she (and Google ai said)!

Couldn’ta said it better myself.

I got home last night from Boston at around 7. Mrs wonderer greeted me at the door in a skimpy outfit!

It’s good to be back.

Now on the bus to New York City. The last day of my tour. But I’m glad I came home last night instead of going to the New York City hotel.

One last day of meetings.

Did I see @Wat_Tyler like one of my posts this morning???

Owner Took Rare 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Ragtop for an Inspection; Dealer Charged Him $45​

View attachment 2545725
Apparently, having an old Oldsmobile inspected is 45 bucks nowadays, or so the gentleman who owns one reveals. He bought his from Tennessee (he found it through Hemmings Motor News magazine) because he likes cubic inches and noise. Also, he didn’t want a 4-4-2 because they are too mainstream, so he went for something different and ended up on the paying end of a 1975 Delta 88, one of a few hundred produced.

My first car was somewhat similar to this except it wasn’t a convertible. It was a 1974 Buick LeSabre.

It was a beast!

Going to the gym with me, NC?

Don’t tempt him!!
