The pic on the card looks like me! Last one I had done took about 5 minutes total. Pic first, told him nothing has changed 2 minutes later he said I was all green and good to go. Pressed a couple buttons and out rolls the laminated card ready to go. The pic? Eh, who cares when you're ancient like I am. Let 'em shoot me. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 thanks for that @Islander yesterday... I made coffee before I had coffee. OK OK... duh I need to drink coffee before I make coffee. I forgot to put the carafe in the machine. I am very happy for our sink set up. Drainer on each end. The coffee machine lives on one. The mess ran into the sink.... it was a mess. The machine stops the coffee from leaving the machine if there isn't a carafe... I had coffee grounds in the reservoir, By the time I realized the problem and shoved a pot in ... the "drain" was plugged with grounds. I did salvage 2/3 of the pot. Tasted like boiled coffee. Drinking on a pint of maker's mark. I'm trying to trick myself into thinking it's better than it is by replacing the screw cap with a cork...lol the day finished better than it started. It did get worse before it got better. Took the wife to work. Got out of the car when I got home and couldn't get upright. My back did it's trick w/o me noticing. Wasn't feeling too sharp when I returned to pick her up. late afternoon ... it rained. Made the bs worth surviving. Nice lightning. The AirForce scrambled and did some air-to-air combat training over town... in the weather. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but that was in the first movie, and we were discussing JW3, in which our hero suffers a different provocation. It was intended to be a brief summary, more concerned with the overall feel of the movie series, without listing high or low points. The mention of the knife to the eye was just to give a sample of the level of violence, and since it happens several times over the course of the many fights to the death, it seemed to be a good example. I've seen the first three movies, but at this point the details of each movie kind of blur together in my mind. You're welcome to do an expanded summary of the series, or any one movie in the series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen any of them and @grasshopper said he hadn’t either which was who you were replying to. I’ll get around to them one of these days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll get around to them one of these days. The killing of the dog was kind of vital, since it was John's original motivator, so I should have included it, but I hardly remembered it, because I saw the first movie on TV at a friend's place, and missed the first twenty minutes or so. While the movies are certainly exciting, at this point I could hardly match a scene to a movie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I haven't seen 4 or 5. Guess I'd better get with the program! Prolly should go mow the yard and thunk on that a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I couldn't watch the 4th and 5th. I liked the first the second wasn't as good. Sure the next ones added more and more shooting to fill in the 90 minutes or so 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 got a little chuckle... on cl, a pair of Heresy are listed as excellent condition... including the custom blue paint job. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/ele/d/phoenix-klipsch-hersey-pair/7639425580.html first phone call of the day came from William Bailey.

MicroMara Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Had bad luck on Monday , have separated with a Stihl diamond cutter angle stones , which should support an embankment. At the second angle stone it has made "crack" in my back, the later occurring pain was unbearable, today I was in the nuclear spine tube with the result that my lumbar disc ( is it right ? ) has no damage, but I was admitted to the hospital for pain therapy. I am writing to you from my hospital bed 😏My left leg has a muscle trauma 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
