Don't go mixing threads now. That's bad for you. You'll wake up with a wicked hangover.

That's some senior citizen action right there.

2020: You coming over tonight? Ya, I just picked up the danish raspberry swirl from Spinilli's Bakery, K great! The girls will be happy.

1990/2000's: you coming over tonight? Ya I got the kush from Toronto and some grey goose, K great! The girls will be happy.

Edit: nothing wrong with some party favours IMO, I'm just older now and do not partake anymore.
Party favors? Ha! I just re-counted the number of drinks I had tonight to see if I could still take some Advil. Nope...

You want hot? Weather projections for the next 5 days here:

Thursday 107
Friday 109
Saturday 107
Sunday 107
Monday 103

And I got to play golf Friday with a noon tee time. Might bail on that one.

No, my dad had a '74 Sedan de Ville - my daddylac. It was a freakin boat. Went through power steering units like crazy from parallel parking in tight spots. That front end was massive and heavy.

The only positive thing with Covid is I have found I can in fact go back to sleep when my eyes open at 3:45 am. So now I've been sleeping in and getting up at 5:00

Yeah right.

I have so much respect for the guys I hire to do landscaping and other yard work. This guys are out there working hard in this.

I was going to call and have some new plants put in Friday but jeez, I'll wait until monday. That 5 degrees makes all the difference.

My reading distance and up-close vision is still pretty good. What I have problems with are the tiny fonts being used on postage stamp-sized instruction sheets in products these days. I blame it all on LED lighting and its razor-sharp color temperatures, and keep an LED flashlight with a different color temperature next to my chair to improve the contrast when reading the fine print.

On a sad note, I just found out last night that one of my former racing co-drivers (and SCCA spirit animal) passed away a few days ago from COVID. Needless to say, he was always welcome on my lawn.....

Remember the olden days, when the Garden State Parkway toll was $0.25 at every tollbooth? I just saw on the NYC TV news yesterday that they are raising the Parkway (and Turnpike) tolls *again*...and you will need to take out a second mortgage to drive the entire length of the Parkway from the NYS Thruway interchange (by BMW's North American HQ) to Cape May.....
