60+ year old thread.

Welcome, make your self at home.

 

Think I'll pass. Don't wanna make any enemies....never any fun anymore

 

Welcome to the thread...there are still a few us over 60's still working but not for too much longer. Pull up a chair and grab a beer and enjoy. Any discussion is fair game

 

old days

 

Welcome to the old fart thread. Once you retire you will become super busy doing things you want to do.

 

Morning all:
Welcome, and as Ken said, any discussion is fair game. Heck, sometimes we even learn something!
One of my old friends and his wife stopped in this morning to say goodbye. They are moving to Myrtle Beach SC. Their home is sold, and they already bought a home down there. Good people, and I'll miss them.
OH, I did tell them to watch out for a lady walking her dogs, who shines a million candlepower flashlight through the windshields of oncoming cars!

Somehow I "HAD" to click on funniest banned commercials 2013, after the video. There's a good one on there!

Better than watching the news. Could be; here we go again.
It could get very complicated in the Middle East, which is a ticking time bomb. IMO- I believe we're going to be "HEAVILY" involved over there at some point in time.

 

That is a very true statement Carl. I find it interesting that the President has deferred involvement to congress. The talking heads are all over the place with that move.

Too bad we cannot go back to being an isolationist country.

 

just tell them to move over and the light goes out

 

... ^^^ ... Just got back from North Myrtle Beach (2 weeks ago) and thinking about moving there too. ...

Love the beach ... not so much in the hot summer sun ... just like to walk the beach with the sand between my toes ... especially in the mornings, evenings .... and anytime in the fall & winter when it is quiet there ...

Wasn't the war in Iraq a major topic during the presidential debates but yet here we go Obama who said he was against going into Iraq is pushing to get us into another Iraq in Syria!! At least Bush had the gonads to go in where our commander in chief is trying to use the congress as a scapegoat because if it doesn't go right he will say "they let it happen"

Keep those batteries fresh Sue, would hate to hear that you had a problem with some idiot driver...

 

Dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't. Isn't politics fun!

All I can say is: "You can fool some of the voters all the time, all the voters some of the time, but you can only make monkeys out of the voters once every 4 years".

 

I started in Jan. to get back down to 170 Lbs.. Last night on the scale there it was 170 lbs... It took 8 mo. to get off 20lbs. Cut the pig outs to sat night only. and no pie, cake, or ice cream worked over the long run..Going to try to get down to 160 - 165 by end of the year..

 

congrats!!!

 

Man, I was just going out to get some JUNK food for the Pats game @ 1 . Now I am feeling guilty . Oh well , I will drink whiskey instead of beer. That should do it ! Congrats to you . 20lbs is a lot of hard work.

greenpants.....mike

 

Deserves a double WOOT for making your goal!

 

Evening all:
Way to go Jim, could afford to lose a few pounds myself! Usually it comes by way of a big, hard work project; and I don't need any more of them!
Another mowing in the book, and went a little faster than usual. I was bottoming out the seat springs, jarring the heck out of my back, and hoping the new roller shaft wouldn't hook something and get bent to crap. I think if I want to cut a lot of time off the mowing, I either have to get all the potholes in the yard fixed, then buy a Z-turn, or buy a 100" deck!
It would probably cost more to get the yard straightened out than the Z-turn would cost!

 

sprinkler replaced and works as advertised.... Think the guys who took my trees down last year ran it over. I've been ignoring it all summer

Nothing like having a bug jump on you when collecting seeds and all the seeds go flying and come to find out it's just a praying mantis

evening all

for another round of yard cutting
