  1. Have a Super MAR10 day!

  2. When are "saggy pants" gonna join "mullets" and "parachute pants" and slowly fade away? It's time.

      I think it was time, when this came out.

      Haha!

      I've grown mine extremely long at this point, the plan, as I get it back to "normal" is to try a few..."odd" things, just for the heck of it, braids, beads, etc.

      I could see walking around with a mullet for a couple days!

      Hehe-you can have a pink shirt.

      You can have a moustache.

      You can have a mullet.

      You can't have a mullet, a pink shirt and a moustache all at once, you just can't...

  3. Best show on TV = Gary Busey's Pet Judge !!!!

      It's nice to see Gary Busey in something new. Points for it not being produced by Sam Seder, AKA that comedic hack who rode off of his coat tails.

  4. Since Covid started, I have been playing so much racquetball my google maps re-named it "work".

     

  5. Watching "Once Upon a Time in the West". It may be better than TGTBTU!

      Coincidentally, I added both of those movies to my Blu-ray collection within the last month ... but I haven't yet had time to watch either of them.

    3. Machine

      They both are in my top 3. "My Name is Nobody" comes in third. People do not like the campy scenes, but the rest of the movie is amazing!

      My favorite Man with No Name film is still For A Few Dollars More. It's my favorite Western. I'd say TGTBTU is #2 and Once Upon a Time is a very, very close #3, then Hang 'Em High as #4.

       

      Bet you can't tell I am an Eastwood fan. 

  6. A 90 year old woman was the first person to get the Covid vaccine. They are keeping her dentures for a month in case she turns into a zombie. Smart, very smart!

      I heard that Queen Elizabeth II is next in line, and that she and prince Philip will be used for promotion that everyone should take the vaccine. Imagine the flop if she got very ill and possibly even passed away from getting the shot! Besides the mourning, a lot of the population would hesitate to follow in the Queen's steps.

  7. I should have been a vet. My dog got gored by a deer this morning. All day in and out of surgery. 5k later and we still don't know...

      My Dog is back home. She has a long recovery.  6 weeks of no ativity and a "prescription" diet. She is in rough shape but happy to be home. She has gone to work with me every day for the last 10 years, I can't imagine working without her. I spend more time with her than anyone....kinda strange.

    3. TrekMD

      I know the feeling.  Glad your dog is home with you, though.  I'm sure that will help with recovery.

      So glad she is back home.  I hope she has a speedy recovery.🐕

      I was suppose to see Van Halen right after 1984 came out, but I couldn't get off work. Apparently the show(in Oakland) was awful and lasted about 30 minutes. The entire band was too drunk to play. My friends were pissed off.

      Or do you already know that and just kidding?

      I know.  I was just kidding.  I think there is someone else on here that is 100 or so though.  I just got the name wrong.

      Hitting the century mark is not a big deal. 3 years ago I married a 26 yr. old and she keeps me young & busy. I am lucky, she loves me for me, not my money.

      Apparently in this day and age, it's never too late to fire off 4th of July fireworks.  I hear them sometimes weeks after the event.

      I got this neighbor who absolutely hates it, so I am compelled to light them off. Plus, his dog freaks out and I love watching that too. I know, I am a terrible neighbor/person but I just love his reaction!

  13. Good news: After 6 days we have hot water! Bad news, gonna need a new boiler soon. Anyone got 10k they can loan me?

      It is a boiler. It heats the radiant floors and also heats the "slave" hot water tank.  That is what the guy called the hot water tank, not me.  :)

      The radiant heat is amazing.  

       

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      So, to be clear,...If ya got a hot water heater, then you still wouldn't have heat for the house in the Winter?

    4. Machine

      Machine

      We have a boiler. It heats our entire our(thru the radiant heat in floors) and it also heats our hot water and stores it in a tank(like a hot water tank).

       

      Out boiler is 25 years old and ready to be replaced. We have it working, but it is time to replace it. If it went out in the winter, we would have been screwed.

       

  14. Going on 5 days with no hot water....showering has proven to be "interesting"

      Try that.  I know it helped me when I had the problem of no hot water (during/after hurricanes).

      I gotta shower. I just dont feel right without one. Man I miss HOT water.

      I hate to say this, but video streaming is the future. I can watch basically every movie from 1888-now on the internet for the price of cable, also, let's not forget about the free entertainment on YouTube.

      Unless I'm mistaken DISH is headquartered in your home state and Charlie Ergen lives there (I don't know if he still does)...I used to work at the Uplink here in Cheyenne...Anyhow, ya might try them out, if cord cutting doesn't work for ya.  I now have DISH, Netflix, Prime, and Disney +.

      We get over-the-air stations and a few others. We also have Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime. DirecTV tried to get $440 out of me when we left.....they failed.

      I had to wait till the contract was up, and it was then AT&T bought them.  It was so terrible, even making an online payment became a PITA when they took over! 

       

      I'm happier with my cable company now, I pay about the same but I have broadband bundled so that's fair...

    4. Machine

      Yeah, the DirecTV tech who came out to trouble-shoot our DVR said AT&T is the worst. Not sure how you get lower than DirecTV, but AT&T seems to have mastered it!

      Joel Murray is pretty funny. Seen him a few times at live events-"Who's Live Anyway". Meet him once after a show, pretty laid back guy.

      Just kidding. Not 5 stories........yet. When we bought the house, we did find a "hidden room" that was never finished(a year after we moved in). It was enclosed, no way in or out. It was never finished so we did put a doorway in and 3 windows outside.

      I was giving away a solid pine tv stand. It was really nice, had drawers and pull out shelves for systems. I also had a Redbull cooler for $20. I must have gotten 20 responses on the pine furniture and 30 requests for the redbull. Both finally got picked up but man it was not worth the hassle. I should have taken both to goodwill. Some girl had me hold the pine stand, said she would be over in 30 minutes. After two hours, she says never mind, he husband doesnt like it.

      Sorry to hear it,

       

      Strangely enough, seems like the only thing I've ever won are coolers....I won a radio contest (national one) and they sent me a Gatorade mini cooler,  Then years later the liquor store told me I'd won a big Dos Equis cooler!
