Phil Ligget is my Vin Scully. I love this time of year. TdF!

I just commented on my son's bike riding tonight. It was something like "HEY WATCH FOR CARS! LOOK BOTH WAYS! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THOSE BRAKES?"

Super busy lately. Long weeks. I haven't even had time to drink a beer although I think I'll have a few tonight. It feels good to work hard, make some money and know we'll be busy at least for a few months into next year before we have to go looking again.

I just picked up my first ever four wheeler the other day. It's an '86 Honda fourtrax. Hard to believe a 30 year old machine fetches $1000 but there were three guys behind me with cash in hand. Lucky I called first. My boys are incapable of a 30 second conversation without asking "when are we going to ride it again?" So, I'm happy if they are happy.

I hope you are all having a great Friday and an even better weekend. I saw this live and it was better but I still love the song:

We
Go to a resturant, she pulls something out of her purse and sets it on the tab!e edge - then her purse is hanging off the bottom - Securely! It's an ingenious marvel

If it can be adjusted to hold a pint of beer under the table then hell i'll get one too!

Yes! I'm sure that is do able. My wife's purse weighs at least a few pounds more than average mug of beer

You should have a lightning rod atop that umbrella to power the induction unit. I know you can do it

@dynachrome I was in your town the last three days. Days were too long to look you up but we'll be back before too long.

Cheers one and all!

Ok, this is probably very outdated info to you all; but new to me. I tend to catch up with technology 10-15 years after its new. Hey! I dont run a 486 anymore. Pentium 90, Baby! [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

Roku, pretty neet gadget. I connected it to my dumb tv which did have an HDMI cable. I realized i could use the roku remote and watch Netflix and youtube using the remote to navigate (which is a bit of a PIA moving to one letter or the next

I was at home the other day chilling in the living room and searchrd my phone for a video. Video opened and i saw a boxed antenna top right of my phone. I touched it and it said Roku and some numbers. Im not totally stupid so i switched my tv to hdmi.

Wa Bam! My iphone plays movies, youtube, probably Netflix,, amazon and whatever on the TV. Cool $hit

On my little phone niki (?)(check my math) looks like a mermaid in the flared jeans. Anyhow, great pic. Still sorry we could not get together when you were so close. Cheers.

Mermaid! Ahh! She does!! [emoji3][emoji3]

Im planning a trip back to SoCal later in the year. If all goes well a stop at LRBs Brewhouse and maybe a roadtrip north to see JayBird!

What you say LRB? You up for a roadtrip? Im in dire need of a vacation.

Lakewood Brewery, 93230

Is coming back to life!

 

[Dan]

Voices, those im most influenced by

I wouldn't be true if i didnt say John Wayne
Tween me and you. The Duke - an american hero, he was old shool
My avatar you know-James Bond; Sean Connery. Voice of Scottsman, eyebrows thick and dark. A voice thst carries strength when times are unsure and out goes lifes spark
Have you ever known James Earl Jones?
Or heard his deep voice and felt at home
Morgan Freemon I'd vote for president. Why?! Because real true - confidence, you can hear it in hisvoice,
I sort of hope Sean Connery finds out im using a young pic of his as my avatar.

Id love to talk, smoke a cigar and have a beer. With Sean Connery.
To you all
Cheers!

Danny

Garrison Keillor was an amazing voice that I grew up with listening to the Prairie Home Companion radio show.

Seeing the actual man was a very stark contrast to the voice.

A full day wiring at a bulk propane plant is hard for a smoker. A mixed sixer of porters and stouts from a good buddy enjoyed in my shop allowed me to catch up on the nicotine

Ischiavo, your work alwsys sounds so interesting! I am not promoting tobacco use ( the pipe thread is more than just tobbacco. ) but i went from ciggsrrettes to smokeless a long time ago to feed the need. Now that smoking is nearly outlaw, smokeless tobaccy has exploded. I remember when i got into the disgusting kick there was skoal or copenhagen now each of those have numerous variations along with many other brands and their variations. Id say the explosion in smokeless tobacco products is partly the result of the crack down on smoking - some people are going to get hooked on nicotine in no matter what. Lucky for the tobacc companies.

Different note
They say one mans trash is another mans treasure, right? I have become a bit of a scavenger and would say the previous as Onesns lack of appreciation is another man's joy

Last night my wife and i took our dogs on the usual walk. Before i say anymoore, here in Hawaii ( at least Oahu, the first of the month is bulk pick up day. A spot is designated close to Your home, a stone's throw away, where a person can put bulky items - We used it one time to get rid of the broken (was suppose to work) old dryer that came with this house. I hauled to the curbside towards the end of the month and beginning of the next month it was hauled away with all the other junk. And overall there is a lot of junk that is taken away. Its free, well there is nothin free but that's besides the point. Hawaii, i believe does this to keep the island clean otherwise the crowded population here could easily turn the natural beauty of this place into dumping grounds; if that makes sense

So, why this long mixed up ramble? This week is bulk pick-up. Somebody in the neighborhood remodeled and the "waste" was placed at a curbside next to my house. Lastnight, Sunday, my wife and i took our dogs for their usual evening walk and we strolled by yhis heap. We'd seen it from the car earlier in the day but aside from sering some wood, which I automatically assumed pressrd board with veneer I ignored it. The junk would be hauled away in a day or two.

My wife said we should detour from our nightly walk route and check out the temporary dump site. I was game

This is THE longest post i think ive ever written, so if youre still hanging in , Cheers!

My wife found wood. Teal Wood!! Okay not solid wood but 3/4" smooth on two sides, six ply all in beautiful condition. Plus 3 framed, bamboo etched in glass dining cabinet windows. Im probably not desrining this worthy of the beauty - their is no pressed, particle or tiny thin lsyer of veneer involved.

We took it-thats perfectly acceptable here and from the land dump space saved, Im certain the guys that would have had to lift and haul it away are glad the heavy, bulky load never had to be lifted onto their truck

There was also a refrigerator in the pile. Clean, smallish, maybe 14 cubic feet. I got my hand cart and loaded the fridge. Hauled to my back linai. Cleaned it, only the freezer seal was really dirty (?) plugged it in and the soft dound of the compressor came on. A clean icecube tray was in the freezer so i filled it with water and put back in, then folled a glass of water and set in the middle of the fridge section. I set freezer and fridge midrange settings. This morning. A tray of icecubes. Water in the glass a chilly 37.

Hmmm? Nice wood that can be recut, sanded and stained plus a good clean fridge lsid in my lap

Any ideas?

 

[Dan]

Ischiavo, if i sounded like i was judging you, thats not what i meant. Im hooked on micotine and enjoy it. Wrong health wise but its where im at and have been many, many years[emoji5]️

 

[DrunkleJon]

Nice finds Dan. I wish there was something like that here. Though all the dumps and places for getting rid of large items around here scavenging is illegal. I am sure it is because they do not want to be held liable for any injuries, and if there were dropoff areas, they would get junky quickly. On the plus side, if you put out stuff for a large item pickup in front of your house, usually it disappears before they actually pick it up. I have found a couple laptops and computers when going for a jog that were perfectly good after a full wipe/reinstall.

Yeah, smoking rules are getting a little overboard in some places. I guess it should come down to common sense and courtesy. Even when I could, I rarely ever smoked in restaurants. I don't smoke in my house, around my kids or when they are in a vehicle with me. I just never have because I do not feel right subjecting others to my habit.

Never could handle chewing tobacco. It makes me almost instantly ill.

Nice find on the plywood and fridge. What cant you make out of plywood? Maybe you should do a teak beer fridge

I am quite a scavenger myself. I have collected many useful throwaways over the years. Construction sites, especially remodels can be a goldmine

Ischiavo, if i sounded like i was judging you, thats not what i meant. Im hooked on micotine and enjoy it. Wrong health wise but its where im at and have been many, many years[emoji5]️

You do not seem the type to judge and the thought never crossed my mind I'd really rather not be hooked on nicotine too but here I am.

 

[chisena]

People still smoke?

 

[lschiavo]

People still smoke?

Found this somewhere:

•Nearly 18 of every 100 U.S. adults aged 18 years or older (17.8%) currently smoke cigarettes. This means an estimated 42.1 million adults in the United States currently smoke cigarettes.


A much larger minortity than one might expect...

 

[reinstone]

And on have bringing on a great thread title. I'm going to bed guys. May good times and happiness abound you. I have to sleep now.

You were in bed early last night. It's been a real long time. How is everyone?????

Reinestone!!! How are you my brother?

Great to hear from you! Whats been happening?

 

[Dan]

In 1985, i was 21 years old and stationed on the navy's oldest deployed aircraft carrier, USS Midway! Styx, you remember Styx! Only cassette tape i had was theirs. Not by i liked only their music, ot was lack of planning and I just was to stupid to think ahead before a long cruise around the Indian Ocean and load up on music. Styx put me to bed everymight ( morning really - i worked nights)

Still their music i love. Cheers too you all. Come sail away with me! [emoji3].

At 21 i thought i had life all figured out. [emoji3][emoji3]. Heres one of my favorite songs.

As a Navy grunt I'd expect feeling more analogous to Mr Roboto.

Did you get to try any of the micros here?

What were you hot-wiring anyway? Residential, commercial, industrial, black-ops?
