Didn't @EastCoast50 arrest you for stalking girls in a park in a trench coat?

You've seen the U.S. Assistant Health Secretary, right?

HAHA Actually we did. Ball Joint needs replacing.

Today was one for the books. Son stayed with the wife and I overnight for a visit. He is a mechanic. Asked him to take my wife's car for a drive with me to check out a noise. We get in the car and drive about 1/2 mile. We stop short of a 4-way stop as there is a black rat snake in the street. I like snakes and didn't want to kill the stupid thing. Fucker crawls up underneath the car. We can't see it. We both jump out to see where the hell it is. We look under the damn truck just to see it crawl up inside the engine / transmission compartment. FUCK....what do we do now. I know, my son says....lets find some speed bumps. Good idea I said. None to be found. Popped the truck up on the curb...crawl under the truck. Can't find that damn snake anywhere. We said fuck it...let's ride. Drive the mile back to the house and that bastard comes out from under the hood onto the windshield right in front of me. Funny as hell. Long story short I ended up getting ahold of it's tail and had a tug-o-war to get that thing out of the truck. That thing pissed and pooped all over my arm trying not to lose the battle. I threw it across the driveway and it's PISSED! It strikes at me and my son repeatedly until we get a coat hanger and get it into the flowerbed. My wife can now sleep easy tonight knowing she will not get eaten by a harmless black rat snake...LOL

Yes it does!

Have had them all....DUKE'S for the win!

It sure is @WeednFeed, our plan is to retire on (or as close to) the water as we can....

Finally got out on the boat for the weekend with Mrs. Smeg and the two mutts. Been a bad year for boating for us. Busy with work, busy with the fire department, busy with grandkids or the weather hasn't cooperated. Hoping things will allow us to spend a bit more time in September and October. Anyway a few photos from our weekend. P.S. I did fish but nothing was biting (except the black flies)...

I would still suck even if I used hacks. So I just play on and enjoy the witty banter while waiting to get thawed.

Tastes like Kale

It was great catching up with you on the zoom call last night @Espo!

Quick read for those that were talking about EV's and Tesla's last night https://wsvn.com/news/california-crews-use-over-4000-gallons-of-water-to-put-out-tesla-fire/#:~:text=California%20crews%20use%20over%204%2C000%20gallons%20of%20water%20to%20put%20out%20Tesla%20fire,-By%207%20News&text=(WSVN)%20%2D%20Firefighters%20in%20California,a%20wrecking%20yard%20for%20dismantling.

Good times last night! The catch phrase of the night was "Dental Dam"

Might be time for an upgrade.....not that it would help my game play!

This is fantastic Wayne! My father celebrates his 91st on the 18th! I have not seen him in three years, thanks to COVID. Headed down to see him in TX and my father-in-law in New Orleans around Labor day. Dave (a.k.a Smeg)

Great info @WeednFeed, thank you for sharing that. So do you not have a problem with deer / animals raiding our garden? We can hardly put flowers down here without the varmints using them as a salad bar. Incredible garden!

Haha oops!

That dude is one step away from a dirt bath

This thread is so much more fun reading it backwards

Was that a Hula Popper?

Nice find, they don't make them like that anymore! Did you have to pull the flywheel to get to the points? As they say, one man's junk is another mans treasure!

You might breather easier if you didn't smoke, too LOL

A PLANE IS ON ITS WAY TO TORONTO , WHEN A BLONDE IN ECONOMY CLASS GETS UP AND MOVES TO THE FIRST CLASS SECTION AND SITS DOWN. THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT WATCHES HER DO THIS AND ASKS TO SEE HER TICKET. SHE THEN TELLS THE BLONDE THAT SHE PAID FOR ECONOMY CLASS AND THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK. THE BLONDE REPLIES, "I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE." THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT GOES INTO THE COCKPIT AND TELLS THE PILOT AND THE CO-PILOT THAT THERE IS A BLONDE BIMBO SITTING IN FIRST CLASS, THAT BELONGS IN ECONOMY AND WON'T MOVE BACK TO HER SEAT. THE CO-PILOT GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND TRIES TO EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE SHE ONLY PAID FOR ECONOMY SHE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE AND RETURN TO HER SEAT. THE BLONDE REPLIES, "I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE." THE CO-PILOT TELLS THE PILOT THAT HE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE THE POLICE WAITING WHEN THEY LAND TO ARREST THIS BLONDE WOMAN WHO WON'T LISTEN TO REASON. THE PILOT SAYS, "YOU SAY SHE IS A BLONDE? I'LL HANDLE THIS, I'M MARRIED TO A BLONDE. I SPEAK BLONDE." HE GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND WHISPERS IN HER EAR, AND SHE SAYS, "OH, I'M SORRY." AND GETS UP AND GOES BACK TO HER SEAT IN ECONOMY. THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND CO-PILOT ARE AMAZED AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE SAID TO MAKE HER MOVE WITHOUT ANY FUSS. "I TOLD HER, 'FIRST CLASS ISN'T GOING TO TORONTO."

I will try to get on this evening after dinner

Holy Cow okay I'll take it down until it's right LOL
