  1. Supreme executive power does not come from a farcical aquatic ceremony but from a mandate of the people! Just because some watery tart tossed a sword at you doesn’t make you king!
  2. You’re going to have to speak to @petitepedal’s attorneys about your use of “mini me” in describing anything related to “small in stature” comparisons. She owns the forum use of that and deserves adequate compensation. Since you’re retired, I suggest that you file a compensating claim with the department of transportation as your farming livelihood depends on fee and open access to ports . You may qualify for enough to satisfy her claim and include some income for yourself. You hoodwinked your insurance company, you can hoodwink the US Government.
  3. In my younger days when I bought biscuits in a can, the shopping list read: “bisquits”. I haven’t allowed that to die.
  4. Washington DC is one of the world’s largest producers of bullshit and misery. We got that locked down pretty good.
  5. Stagger Lee shot Billy for rolling dice and winning his Stetson hat. Billy’s girlfriend Delia, took revenge when Stagger Lee lit a cigarette and she shot him in the balls.
  6. You asked that chick out on Saturday didn’t you?
  7. Reminds me of a flight I took from VA to Sandy Eggo. A lot of people were hitting the front terlet. One guy came out and sat in the seat in front of me. The lady who followed him, came out and loudly ripped him a new a-hole for not putting the seat down. She ranted for a good five minutes. I felt less than safe from her wrath and it wasn’t even me!
  8. Owl consider that advice when I’m no longer married.
  9. I use one of these to get the guts out easily. Halve lengthwise and core.
  10. What do you put in your zucchini fart boats? I dice the zucchini guts I remove with finely diced chicken, and fry that with some softened onion and garlic. Cook the guts to evaporate excess water and mix in some panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  11. These are all haplessly subjective as you choose your own rating. They should be obtained by a range of three to five peers who know you well. And then averaged.
  12. Removing the carpet and pad revealed past damage. A section of the floor (30” x 8”) is missing. The Persian rug will hide the bald spot but it needs replacing sometime.
  13. A bar of Irish Spring or a pump of body wash. I like to start the day with a firm decision accomplished.
  14. Good question. We had a quote for wood flooring, but money was not in the budget this year. We will put the large oriental rug and pad down and leave the rest as is. A lovely version of late 20th century linoleum. I’ll update as progress is made.
  15. Work began on Monday. They removed the paneling and trim. They also pulled up the carpet strips that we hadn’t got to. Day two the drywall was installed, taped and sanded. Today will be removing the popcorn ceiling, priming, and painting. Trim will go back up, recessed lights and new ceiling fans will get installed. Then we get to move the stuff back inside.
  16. Sounds like a great improvement. Near me, such a project will take several years to complete.
  17. That’s the heart of my sales pitch when I sold e-bikes. “A guy lives in Arlington and works in Reston. He wants to commute the 20 miles but it takes him an hour and twenty on his regular bike. That’s 2:40 round trip. An ebike can shave that to an hour each way with less effort. He gets 40 minutes back and he’s still exercising.
  18. Back then, there wasn’t much else in Freeport.
  19. When I was younger I always wanted to ride RAMROD (Ride Around Mt Rainier in One Day) a ride sponsored by the Redmond Cycling Club. 150 miles with 10,000 feet of climbing. An east coast version would be the Assault on Mt Mitchell. 102 miles with 11,000 feet of climbing. The first 74 miles aren’t bad at 1 - 5% of gain but the final 30 are from 5% to 12% gain.
