Invidiosulus Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 My internet and cell service went out again last night so streaming was t an option while I grilled some burgers. The vintage Technics turntable, ART DJ pre II, Crown XLS1002, Klipsch KP-250, sounded pretty good from the neighbors yard across the street. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 You deserved every minute of it too. Abby Normal is starting to happen. It'll only get better Josh. Just takes time and a lotta workie by everyone!

JohnJ Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Dropping here also @Dave1291. Put flannel sheets on the bed yesterday, 4 nights in the thirties this week! I've found out that I can't park next to my back door except about three months a year. Think it's that hundred ft acorn tree that drops those tar balls on my ride. Washed `em off again Saturday, yesterday was 77 here but couldn't wax Will be 60 by lunch today so I'll wash it again dry with old towels and wax it today. Got those chemical wipes for the stupid plastic headlights too. It needs that more! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Plans did not pan out again ISP texted with an open appt. They looked at putting the dish on another tree... two levels higher. It still wasn't as good as what I had previously. Asked the guys to let the office know but I won't pay them any more come January. So 50s and cloudy tomorrow, I'll get my ride slicked up for another 2mpg then! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, a rare sight for me and even more rare that I'd take that first bite. Just one of those visuals from days past. If those taste as good as they look? NM, I don't even wanna think about it. lol Cold night in Duckburg. Wrapped up like a burrito and slept like a rock. Sittin here like an old basset hound in front of the lil heater suckin it up Think I'll make it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I went back to the only real restaurant around here the other evening. They have a Porterhouse Steak there! Market priced like their Oysters, Tuna and Crab are though, $42 for a 1 #er so I passed and got a pizza. Large Pizza is a 16"er instead of 18 like when I was a teen. But it was so good! Not an Unos deep dish, not pizza on a cracker like Pappa Ginos either! It had homemade sauce and tasted Italian, struggled to make it last for two meals Really not a bad problem to have! 40 outside this morning 7am is the coldest since the earth shifted, it isn't 5 am like it used to be. The manbearpig is wrong! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I just wanted to respond to your post which would've been alot more fun, but I've been warned, banned, and even then thought I was staying close to the line... Fwiw, the problem with social media is communication by idiotic memes instead of actual discussion, imo. Also, a lie takes WAY longer to disprove than just posting it. That's my take. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 Just got back from band practice. We are closing out a fundraiser/fun time concert here in Spruce Pine this Saturday night. We are going to run through one more practice on Friday evening and then it will be go time on Saturday. Tomorrow I get to go deliver a laptop to a new gal at work that lives halfway up 226A near Little Switzerland. We were supposed to meet up the Monday after Helene hit us but her equipment didn’t get to me until last week and the roads between weren’t reasonably passable until this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 @Invidiosulus, sounds like a fun day for you and it's about time for a lil partay! You'll pull it off w/no problemo. She'll have her new lappie and some down time to get caught up both with work and share experiences with the deliveryman. It's refreshing watching a community truly gel after something like this happens. You all actually become ONE and continue to march. That common thread, whatever it may be. Sure is crazy but you'll always have that "remember when" line you can toss into every convo. Ya play the cards ya have or ya fold 'em. It's life. As ya get older ya just count the spots on 'em. Anicent Chinese secret! 😂 Tighten that setlist and have ya sum fun. It's allll ya can do. Unite as true family now and come back stronger. It'll happen. Look what it's done to @billybob1 and those in Florida. Seasoned vetrans they are. 😂 😂 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
