Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
This right here. The handle is missing from the rope that is attached to my automatic garage door opener for manual release. When the garage door is up the rope hangs (used to) right at the vehicle door space.

Countryisms
Can’t run out of sight in a day Runs too long in the same place Take your time leaving (a favorite of my grandmother’s when we got up to leave. She would stand in the doorway and waved at us while we backed out of the driveway and until we drove out of sight) From can to can’t Weight is what broke the bridge down (a favorite of my dad’s when I told him to wait or hold on) She could suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch Take a long walk on a short pier

Shit My Kid Says
Me too. My only problem was money! If I wasn’t in class I was working to pay for school. Fortunately for me, my job has allowed me to travel the world at an age where I probably enjoy and understand it more.

This is not uncommon to have varying delays. It is happening in my industry. You are waiting on one part which is the pacing item. You then find out something else is going to be late the next day by a different supplier. That now becomes the new pacing item.

Sam Acho to ESPN
Oh good Lord. How can he say that other than to create drama and/or become an attention whore? Who did he list ahead of him and by what criteria did he make such a comment?

Having a freshly broken nose and having to wear glasses to see anything is a crappy combination.

I always looked forward to the annual yearbook update/review copy that has the year emblazoned on the spine.

This Guy Got Knocked The Fuckkkkk Out
Not India. Way too clean. Not enough cars and people. No horns blaring. Plus the cars are on the wrong side of the street. And the cow is way too healthy looking. Been there numerous times. I know way too well.

Getting old sucks
Broke my nose today playing basketball. Got head-butted under the goal. My nose is all crooked now. Not necessarily an “age” thing but I am getting too old to be dealing with crap like this. I haven’t been hit that hard in forever. Slightly concussed as well. Got all lightheaded, tingly, and losT my color for a while.

The "Post a Picture You Took" thread
I would be even more worthless if I lived anywhere near Yellowstone that I could visit often. I have only been twice in my life but I find it such a beautiful and wild place that would never get old.

Did you really expect any other answer? I used to have the same issue.

The "Post a Picture You Took" thread
Went to Yellowstone in October 2020. Came across the "wolf fanatics" looking through high-powered Hubble Telescope type lenses. I got my binoculars out but could not spot them. Fortunately the people shared their scopes with us so that we could see them. Just hearing them howl sent a chill down your spine.

Glad that you are OK but your original posting was alarming because it read as something out of no where!

Have you wakened up this morning? If so, go to the doctor to find out what happened. If you did not wake up, shame on you for not going to the hospital last night.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
I have a rather long driveway at my house which is about 175’ long or so. When my son first got his license he was backing out at the same time one of his buddies was backing out of the driveway. His buddy stopped before he got to the end of the driveway and my son backed into him. The wife, now ex, and I were in the house when we heard the collision. She was outside yelling at him before he could even get out of the truck. I felt bad for him because she was letting him have it right in front of his friends and in a very not so kind way. Having to be somewhat diplomatic at the time, I knew that I was going to have to counter her words with some understanding words but also some education with it. A bit later I got the “Rolodex” out to let him know that she has backed into things too such as a friends car, neighbor’s brick mailbox, multiple toys, bicycles, lawn chairs, etc. Of course each time that she collided with something there were extenuating circumstances that were totally unavoidable.

1983 for me. Had a 1969 F150 3-speed on the column. Push it, jump in it, pop the clutch and take off. Not sure about modern vehicles though. Would think that computers and other electronics would create an issue.

Bit of trivia; The ill-advised pass by Jimmy G was tipped by Hasty, the 49er RB, and was intercepted by Howard. Both players are from Longview.

Ha ha. My parents still proudly display their World Book Encyclopedias and Childcraft books.
