I like this time at night on HBT

[Reelale]

I have never seen one. What part of the states grow them

Looks like they grow from South Dakota down to Louisiana eastward. We don't have them where I normally work, but less than 25 miles away, we do.

 

[BBL_Brewer]

Here's an old song that always makes me chuckle. So, Reelale. Do you plant anything out there or just select for the food plants that are already there?

 

[Varmintman]

Well that would explain why I never saw them growing before. Sure enjoy eating them and I think I will go grab another handful

You know what I wish I could get around here? Jumbo green peanuts. I freakin love me some boiled peanuts. Got hooked on them going to Florida for vacations when I was younger. I better stop thinking about it.....it will drive me insane.

I hate those things. Blech. I went to vacation in Florida in '92 when I graduated from college... and stayed.

Anybody having problems with Gmail tonight?

Dan, I've got a chair right here for you. And a beer. Glad you showed up. Here you go....

 

[bottlebomber]

My wife's family from Arkansas was here a little while back. They have a coke on ice with salted peanuts in the coke. You drink the slightly salted coke, and suck up a few peanuts to crunch on. It's a big deal over there I guess.

You can have my share too, those things are awful.

Figures. You can get them anytime you want and you don't even appreciate them. :smack:

 

[BBL_Brewer]

Nobody around here like them either except my Folks. I've brought some back before and my friends wouldn't touch them. More for me.

Thank you Pappy. Work has been a bit nuts lately.

Now that sounds gross.

 

[BBL_Brewer]

What's up Dan? Sorry to hear work's been a bear.

 

[Dan]

BottleBomber my friend. I to like salted nuts and coke in theory.

The two of them together make my heart grow cheery

Unless of course you're a Missouri resident.

Then I'd just say you're nuts; it's a prerequisite

Sorry all Missourians that might read this post

For you, my dealings with; are not something to boast.

Where the heck is that commune me and BobbiLynn are starting?

 

[Dan]

Hey BBL,

Yea, work has been a bit rough lately. Proabably a good thing; it keeps me on my toes. Looking forward to the weekend.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

what time zone is HBT time stamp on each post based on?

 

[passedpawn]

what time zone is HBT time stamp on each post based on?

My Account, Control Panel, Edit Options, Date & Time.

 

[Dan]

I think they base it on Greenwhich Mean Time (ZULU). It's 9:41 PM here right now in CA, or 5:41Am Zulu time. It might even be the default time setting. You have to set in your settings where you are and then I believe as long as the person you are talking to has set his local time zone.... it all works out.

 

[Dan]

Okay, all this talk, well there wasn't that much talk.. But got me to thinking. Magnetic north and true north. I've often wondered why Greenwich is the basis of the beginning of the clock that each day strokes the first second of a new day. I mean, you have to give the Land of the Rising Sun some credit for the beginning of each day (Japan) but with the international rules of Greenwich time that doesn't apply. Nice thing about Greenwich, or Zulu time is it doesn't change. It is a foundation for us and all you do is add the time zone differences to figure out what time it is where you are now. Works really well if you travel worldwide or are working with folks spread throughout the world. I like it. Also I prefer the 24 hour clock. I still get 12:01 am and 12pm confused. But tell me 0001 and 1200, there is no confusion. BTW. My clocks are set on a 24 hour clock. It's a lot easier when you are dealing in different time zones.

God, is this my first rambling after days?!

I used to hang out in Clearwater a couple times a year for work. Started dragging the SWMBO with me each year. Nothing better than spending an evening with friends, great food, beer, and the Gulf at Frenchy's Rockaway. Looks like they even have a beach cam (http://24.73.69.3:7777/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=6888).

One of my coworkers told me that they had a little problem with one of the bridges in Clearwater. Something about the ends not lining up in the middle. You don't recall which bridge they were talking about do you?

 

[Leadgolem]

Can I visit the commune? I'll bring cheese and wine.

Thanks for the tip on fixing the timezone, the default timestamps have been a little confusing.

The frenchy's on the beach is great, if anyone goes there get their she-crap soup. Fantastic crab stew.

Regarding the bridge, yea they had a serious problem a few years ago when they rebuilt it. Pilings sank, general mayhem ensued, but now the bridge is beautiful and all is well. Rode my bike over it last wkend to see what the bikinies look like this year. Report: all is well!

Bringing wine and cheese, and some great bread would certainly be welcomed. (Bring a lot!)

And then hopefully you'll stick around awhile and learn to make the same.

That's always been one of my favorite BB songs. Thanks!

Here's my favorite:

 

[Dan]

On quite a few threads I've linked this song. It is my favorite song. Always, and pretty sure always will be. Give it a shot please. I know many of you here are much younger. My daughter reminds me how old I am; daily.

Just bring a little, and some fishes. Dan will divide them amongst the crowd, and make sure it goes around with an abundance.

Makes me sad, because music and the world in general has changed so much since then, and not in a good way.

Thank you Pappy for playing that song. Ya know? I you and my teenage years were pretty much the same time. Remember the deals RCA or someting like that would give you .. Seven records for a dollar (of course unknowingly you signed some sort of contract to get records each month unless you remembered to return them)

One of the albums I don't regret getting is such a jam for was Beach Boys Endless Summer. On cold wintery nights in Illinois when the temp was well below zero and the snow flew; those songs kept me warm.

Thank you once again my friend Pappy!
