The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[day_trippr]

Merry Christmas to Massholes and wannabees everywhere!

 

[paulthenurse]

Heeeheeeheeee. She just said it's easy to find the pickle.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Heeeheeeheeee. She just said it's easy to find the pickle.

Isn’t that what every man wants to hear?
I hope you’re feeling better.

 

[paulthenurse]

Not 100% but I didn't die.

Felt touch and go there for a while.

 

[balrog]

Time ti switch to the decaf NyQuil Paulie.

But I am glad you are feeling better. I wouldn’t know where to send the Sox without ya.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Paul, we don't really want to know that you were touching yourself while you were sick.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Hung over?

 

[balrog]

Not here.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Not here.

Soooo, happy new year!

 

[balrog]

Soooo, happy new year!

Indeed. To you as well. Other than the rain, it was a lovely evening trying to play raised platform tennis, which quickly devolved into combining my Altbier w as many of the foodstuffs brought. I think I gained 10 pounds. I think I should’ve able to lose that in 2 days before my yearly physical. Maybe.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Thank you. Ah yes, I’ll be back to less indulgent nourishment myself , now that the last of the pumpkin pie is gone!

May have an opportunity to buy a very used Cat TH-63 for relatively low $. I think it would be handy around the yard, my gal thinks I'm nuts. We are probably both right. Still pondering this one.

Thought someone should post something before PTN writes, "what's up (rhymes with witches)", which I find distasteful, even for this sordid thread.

 

[day_trippr]

I would love one of these, if only to make painting the house easier...

Cheers! (That'd be bitchin' )

If only it looked that nice, enclosed cab option would be nice too, but alas. This one is pretty rough, probably should replace hydraulic lines and tires for safest operation, plus it needs some other stuff like dashboard and mirrors. And we are into $ 5 didgets w just initial expenditure..

And of course since in live in our lovely state, would need to update my hydraulic operators license w a lift endorsement if I want to use off property without major liability exposure...

But yeah, talked to the owner today, gonna check it out this weekend.

make painting the house easier...

That's pretty impressive dexterity on the hydraulic controls if yer talking about duct taping paint brushes to the forks to paint the house...

 

[paulthenurse]

S'up, rhymes with witches?

If you buy that machine can we come over and play with it? Nothing serious, don't want to do any actual work, more like just peeling donuts on Alan Dershowitz's lawn.

Made a bit-o-prog on da barn since we last chatted. Next up, floor & door. Got the cast iron wheels for the sliding door hardware

yesterday. Could use that schweet machining to level the dirt inside and move the 8 yards of crushed stone for the base floor that is coming.

 

[day_trippr]

Very nice
When is First Fire happening?

 

[paulthenurse]

I've already fired up the propane forge out there and will be using it again to make the hardware for the sliding barn doors. (I wimped out and bought the vtrack wheels online).

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

What batch size of pseudoephedrine does that thing make?

 

[day_trippr]

^hah^
Looks like plenty of room for brewing next Masstoberfest!

 

[paulthenurse]

Maybe I should retire and channel my inner Walter White.

 

[Dland]

And me,...maybe Marvin Hemyer?

 

[paulthenurse]

Every town needs its own guy who's gonna inspire Steven King's next upchuck. They keep things interesting.

Confucius says " A journey of a thousand blind squirrels begins with a nut."

 

[balrog]

Very Nice!

Time to start selling advert space.

 

[Dland]

Confucius says " A journey of a thousand blind squirrels begins with a nut."

And a critter is bound to do what they're inclined to do...

 

[paulthenurse]

And Dland for the win. Just drop the mike and walk away.

So "the weather outside is frightful" and tbh I am surprised our electric service has not dropped yet. Maybe the cement storm we had a few weeks ago and the ice storm we had this week broke the stuff that would have come down today. Fingers crossed.

Ironically my freakin' UPS picked today to do a totally out-of-nowhere power shutdown on its own (wth?!) but it did come back on with a power button press. Weird. Hopefully not an omen. I could do without drama...

Cheers! (and stay warm out there! )

 

[day_trippr]

Aaaand just like that, the entire Hudson Light and Power system (of which Stow is half of) has to come down at 3 AM to get this hunk of tree off the incoming high line that runs the entire system. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeyit!

 

[balrog]

Throw a rock at it, maybe two. That'll bring it down.
