I like this time at night on HBT

[Kent88]

I think a big part of what Dan brought here were chill vibes and a real friendliness.

Certainly you're not implying that @passedpawn lacks those attributes?

 

[ncbrewer]

I'll miss him.

No, I'm contesting what qualities Dan brought that contributed to the thread.

 

[mac_1103]

Sorry, I meant to include a smiley thingy. It was supposed to be more of a "let's you and him fight" kind of thing.

 

[passedpawn]

You guys are funny. Dan is a naturally nice guy. I'm not naturally nice, sadly.

 

[passedpawn]

Good evening, hope you all are looking forward to the holiday. Here in FL, we really enjoy the cooler weather (I just got off the golf course!).

For your late night soundtrack.

Sadly as well, I can relate to that. Sometimes I try to do better, and this seems to be somewhat easier w age. Not sure if this is because I've mellowed, or am just getting too tired to argue.

You're in the sweet spot, but it's fleeting. You'll be a full-fledged angry old man before you know it, so enjoy it while you can.

Regardless; you are arguably the next most charismatic character still languishing down this malty hole.

Tag.
You're it.

Why do we need a new "leader of this thread" at all. Can't we all just be chill and friendly?

Naah, that might work in regular threads, but this one here, this place is special.

"Cult of personality" is way too strong a description, but this thread was founded on the musings and celestial contemplations of a real one. Kindred spirits like ours are drawn like a moth to a flame.

Rare is the HBT contributor who can carry such a heavy mantle. It requires no less than the shoulders of a King.

In the meantime, the court jesters occupy the floor..

The Beer Cow
There was an old farmer named Lear,
Who possessed a fine cow that gave beer.
Budweiser or Schlitz,
Could be tapped from her teats,
And pretzels came out of the rear.

 

[day_trippr]

You lost me at the pretzels

 

[lumpher]

We're all meant to be court jesters, since life can't be taken seriously. If nobody wins, why worry about anything?

 

[Airborneguy]

During my “time away,” Dan and I would exchange private messages on the holidays and such. I consider him a friend outside of online interactions.

 

[Dland]

Let's hope not. One thing in my favor is I'm now aware that I'm an idiot. With that in mind, it is easier not to take stuff too seriously.

That there is what they call wisdom.

Since no one took the bait, guess I'll have to work this worm myself.

Aw shucks guys, I would but I kinda have a lot going on right now.

 

[passedpawn]

Hope all is well late-niters. For your late night soundtrack

Anyone ever lay flooring? I'm replacing all the wood in my house (gluedown), and carpeted bedrooms, with vinyl planks. Working on it tonight (taking a break from it at the moment actually). It's going well, but I expect the project to explode into chaos and disappointment at any moment (as per our usual arrangement).

I've done it 3 or 4 times (different places), and will be doing it again soon in the next 2-3 months.

Have you done LVP? That's what I'm doing now.

 

[Airborneguy]

I have but always with my cousin who is a union carpenter specialized in flooring.

 

[passedpawn]

I'm doing my best. The GC on the job (wife) is looking over it all the time. Starting in this one room.

 

[lumpher]

I've done lvp once, and that's what I'll be doing again soon.

I've done lvp once, and that's what I'll be doing again soon. Biggest thing with that stuff Is you need a really good cutter for it.

I don't think there's any way to do the stuff I have except chop saw
