I am distraught.... Somehow the bottom if one my my packs of BBC bourbon barrel stout got damp and decided to give way while I was carrying it inside. I would like to say that everything is OK, but it is not. I lost one of them. :(
Really I should be fortunate that it was just the one and not the whole lot.... I will drink the other three in its honor tomorrow though.
 
Yea id call you lucky for just loosing one! And id call you STRONG for being able to save the other 3 for tomorrow!!

3 Beers... 24 hours... The math does not compute :D
 
I'm home and glad to be. Its -20 without the windchill and I was having some troubles getting my trailer unhooked in my dock at the Post Office that I leave my trailer at on Saturday nights. Normally it takes me all of 2 minutes to get unhooked and check the trailer over before I leave. Today it was closer to 2 hours!! A combination of the bitter cold and packed down, uneven snow in the dock that I used was keeping me from being able to pull out from under my trailer. When I decided to just bring my trailer back to town the darn jaws on the fifth wheel plate wouldn't close all the way again!! Its a dock that I back down into too, so I ended up stuck and couldn't get out of the dock either. Some time with an ice chisel and some salt got me enough traction to eventually get me out of the dock and the fifth wheel actually stayed hitched, so I could go park in part of the lot with some bare pavement. The bare pavement got me enough traction to be able to actually get unhooked, so I dumped my trailer and boogied the 100 miles home. I'm late, but I'm home where its nice and cozy and some tasty bacon and eggs were waiting for me.
 
mmmm, bacon. Vermont Smoke & Cure maple and cob smoked on the stove right now.....be lucky if I get any, though; the girls are serious bacon lovers. I totally understand, but they need to start thinkin' about their old man once in a while and leave me more than 1 piece.

So, as far as anybody that don't have kids, It would make me sick as well to hear them say they know all about it because that is a load of horsesh!t.

I know one thing. Completely hypothetical of course, but if you let an eye-watering fart in the checkout line at Hobby Lobby, you can scowl at your children and deflect blame. Kids are really useful. Again... completely hypothetical.

I got a wife to do that to. ;) however, I find children good for cheap labor. Of coarse when I say cheap. I mean free. :D
 
Over heard in a bar, "...Thanks a lot, you've just destroyed my ability to tolerate idiots. "

You'd give them that last piece if they wanted it.
 
So, yesterday I went to Radio Shack to pick up a bottle of PCB etchant. When I left the store I jumped in my Jeep and noticed a old man with a cane walking up to my vehicle obviously wanting to ask me something. Being the over cautious type I made sure my Glock was accessible and rolled my window down just enough to hear what he had to say. As he walked up he asked if he could have a minute of my time and immediately start his story. Seems he was down on his luck, homeless living in his car and his exact words where, "Im freezing and starving and if you can spare anything at all it would be greatly appreciated" So, I don't always believe what I hear and I don't know his real situation. Im all for being helpful to people in need but I sure as hell am not going to just hand this guy money. So. I had a thermos full of hot coffee I made right before I left the house that I hadn't taken the first sip from. I told him that and Id be willing to give it to him thermos and all so he would have something warm to drink. I picked it up and passed it to him throught the window only for him to say, "Well thanks, But I don't drink coffee" He turns around and looks at the China Buffet that's right next door to the Radio Shack I just came from and asked. "would you be willing to take me into the buffet and by me lunch. Now, Let it be known that my wife and I quite eating at that very restaurant because it was too expensive. A buffet for one person cost $15 bucks without a drink. So, knowing this, I tell the guy. "I'll tell you what I will do buddy, I will walk you over to the Subway (three doors down from the China Buffet) and I will buy you a $5. foot long sandwich and a drink."........His response. "I would rather have the buffet"...............I said. Well, Im starting to get the full picture of why your starving. Merry Christmas. Then I rolled up my window and drove off. :rolleyes: What the hell are people thinking these days? how pathetic is that. a begger being a chooser.

unless, hypothetically of course, you're one of those guys that blows a butt flapping gale that ruffles your pants, and blows the kids hair back like they are riding in a corvette convertible at 95 mph. ... just sayin'.. hypothetically...

You should have pulled the Glock and jacked his cane for thinking you looked like a sucker.
 
TM- sounds like most of the homeless around here. I've offered to buy sandwiches, coffee, and even gloves and a hat. For my efforts, I've been cussed at told I wasn't a good Christian. I still do what I can for those that are polite and willing to accept what I have to offer but I don't let the rest bother me too much.
On another note, we've been without 'lectricity for over 2 full days and the power company's sayin' maybe today maybe tomorrow. Kinda makes me wish I'd spent some of my knife money on a generator.
