    Any woman that I work with (A LOT in the hospital) that isn't married, engaged or in a long term relationship by 35 likely has SERIOUS issues or has been divorced is what I have come to discover. I think you are stuck mate.  Cling on and enjoy the ride. Little birdies tell me your wife ain't too bad 🍻😈

    Sounds about right, I am stuck but happy with it, 43 years. Crazy, both of us at times I guess but by now we know what to espect, mostly.   I do tend to get in trouble at times, but if I do I deserve it most of the time.

    Nice DTEL.  My garage needs surgery surely.  Time to call some friends and offer premium bourbon for aid. 

    I just realized the other day how long I have been working on the shop, started building it in December, so 10 months so far.

    But that did include doing alot of work on tools, but there is music out there, speakers were the first thing i put in, sounds good too. :emotion-21:

     

    I told my wife I will add some hooks on the beams and hang a hammock, I need that.

    Done with the storage space or whatever it's called, painted the frame and added 3/4" plywood to the deck  with the bottom painted white to make space under it brighter. Moved the lights to about where they were above the deck to below.

    Started puting everything back where it goes, just put some things on top to get them out the way, need to get up there and slightly organize what I pitched up there.

    It turns out it is easier to get around up there than I thought it would be, about 4' in the middle.

    I'm up in Ohio and I've seen some great prices on La Scala's down there as well as other models of Klipsch.  Forte's would sound great as well as Heresy's but LS if you can transport them would sound better imo. 

    For DJ work unless in small places I would want LaScalas, they can be turned down but could also fill a big space. Add a sub that can keep up and it would be amazing. IMO

    More work to move but WELL worth it.

     

    EDIT; unless your dj work is an old folks home or just background music. :lol: If it sounds good people tend to want a little more volume and you need to be able to keep up easily without pushing anything to hard.

    brunettes are the way to go! 

    Asian, I know what you mean.  Makes perfect sense to me. 

    I don't know I like them all, excluding the crazy ones, now there is a challenge.

    My life is messed up then. Wake up at 0430 3 days a week. Good news is, I am off more days than I work. 

    No for me it would be messed up, I tend to stay up late and get up roughly 8 hours later, no clocks just whenever I get up. But I only (mostly) have just things I want to do so unless were going somewhere, it makes no difference.

     

    But off more than you work is great, sure beats 5+ days a week, I do not miss that even when I loved my job.

    up at 3 and coffee at 4... yeah. that's messed up.

    I am drinking cold/leftover while I'm waiting for the fresh to finish brewing

    Those hours are messed up, even at 4 I would go back to sleep for hours, 5 or 6 probably.

     

    I drink leftover coffee all the time, it's 99.5% only me drinking it so unless I make very little a bunch of times a day it's the way it is. But I do not keep it hot, I warm it one at a time. Thought about one of them Keurig machine's but fill my own cups ?

    I don't check where my coffee comes from, or care, it's coffee, as long as it's not weak i'm good. I have tried some of the best according to people who supposedly know and was not impressed.

     

    This is a good thing, almost anything goes, no money wasted on fancier types. 

     

    When I think of Columbia, Jamaica, Hawaii and even Mexico and other places, coffee is not the first memory that pops into my head, from what a friend says anyway. :blush:

    Fantastic , 22 lbs less is great , jump on a bike or stationary bike and work on the circulation  ,  slow pace  15 minutes , just to stretch the muscles being you're tall  , what is does is  eliminate some of the lactic acid in the body   -

    I don't stop, sitting here now with my shirt wet from sweating, letting some paint dry and I will be back at it again since I don't have to cook tonight, or I would quit early. 

     

    It seems if I drink enough water i do not have much of a problem with lactic acid, but when sweating and not enough water it builds up i guess. 
     

    I stay busy, I am not good at being lazy, the longest I sit still is for football once a week.

    can't relate to that ... caffeine never got me amped up. I used to get home from bowling between 11 and midnight, I'd stop at Carl's Jr. and get a burger, fries, and a coke ... then go right to bed (after watching Quincy of course). 

    I can eat anything at any time and never have a problem even if it is spicy. 

     

    Well the other side of that is Quincy can put anyone to sleep. :lol:

    I gotcha , you're trying to lose weight , but you like coffee , cakes and donuts and ice cream , and pies and milkshakes all made with Truvia  :D  

    Yes trying, it's a little slow but going in the right direction, 22 pounds since a little after July 4, good enough.

     

    No pies, ice cream, milkshakes or any other deserts 99.9% of the time, or any carbs.

     

    6'3" and 245 now, just want to feel better.

    nothing worse than Truvia or Stevia , it messes up the body, you're better off using natural cane sugar squeezed from the plant   or brown sugar , honey , molasses -   

     

     

    Can't have sugar on my diet, also could find very little bad things about Truvia unless in very high amounts. Honey, Brown sugar or Molasses gives coffee a strange tast to me. I only use Truvia in coffee, nothing else.

    I don't know if caffeine has a taste of its own; but I don't notice a taste difference between regular and decaf.

    I switched to decaf a while back, didn't notice any difference in taste or affect, except that forst one in the am. Daughter would drink some when she stopped in the evening to pick up her 2 year old to go home, she drank 2-3 cups one evening and asked what's wrong it's not helping ? I had forgot we had switched, so we switched back to caffeine, but told the wife to get decaf from now on.

    I had a cup of coffee today so that should renew my permission to post in this thread. It was dunkin decaf (I no longer consume ANY caffeine) and I girlied it up by putting some French vanilla creamer and sweet & low in it.  I normally get Hazelnut Creme; but I'm OCD and had issues with ALL of the hazelnut offerings at the store. 

    I do the same but with caffeine, but no sweet & low, truvia instead, taste better and not as bad for you. It's either Hazlenut of french vanilla for me, sugar free for either.

    The wife had this pop up on her facebook thing and laughed. It was when I was a senior, we walked out to protest not being able to have long hair, they gave in.

    It's funny to see this after all these years expecially since my hair is now shorter than it's ever been.

    Got up at 6:15 and had coffee and a bowl of cheese grits.  Washed the bubble and refreshed the ceramic coating (2 stage process)..  Use Modesta products.  All done by 8:30.

     

    LF off to play tennis.  Swanky sleeping.  Nice early fall temps.

     

    Power Ball at 523 million.  I have 4 tickets so I should win🤔

    It all sounds good except the 6:15 part, I would go to the bathroom and go back to sleep.
