BuffJim Posted March 4 Share #2 Posted March 4 Groundhog’s day in Punxsutawney PA. It was the ex wife’s birthday, so we took a weekend trip with the two young girls. Lots of Penn State and Pitt frat kids, loss of sleep, no parking and spending 4 hours outside in 20 degree weather. And a nasty fatal car accident of another group headed there. A once in a lifetime experience. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted March 4 Share #10 Posted March 4 I'd never walk into a cloud of teargas again. That's nasty stuff. As Paul Harvey would say now for the rest of the story. In the summer of 76 I stayed in Milwaukee and rented an apartment with another engineering student. (the building is gone now) We were on 24th St, north of Wells on the west side of the street. The rent was cheap and the neighborhood was just far enough away from the campus to be kind of interesting, in a bad way. I told one girlfriend to NEVER walk to my apartment alone it was not safe. I've got other stories too... On a Thursday about 2 AM my roommate woke me up. Bikeguy they are SHOOTING outside. I laughed and told him to go back to sleep. Then BANG BANG BANG BOOM. Pistols and a shotgun. We were on the 3rd floor facing the street, the building had a brick front. At first we just took cover and just barley looked out of the window from time to tome to see wat was going on. This went on for at least 2 hours. By then we were drinking beer and watching the battle. The shooting was between a crazy guy in the apartment across the street, he had the shotgun. The police were taking cover behind the parked cars on our side the street and shooting back. Eventually they used teargas and shot that into the guy's apartment. A few more exchanges of gunfire then it went quiet. (The crazy guy was dead.) When the police were walking around outside, we decided to go out and see what we could see. There was a TV crew there, a cameraman was standing on a parked car trying to take pictures of the inside of the apartment. The cloud of teargas was still in the air. The wind changed direction and soon we all were in the teargas cloud. The cameraman fell off of the car. My roommate and I decided breathing teargas sucked. We coughed a LOT. We decided it was time to go back to our apartment. That fall.... another engineering student moved into the building across the street. I went there to study some class material, and probably have a beer. Then I asked the student... 'Did they tell you what happened in this apartment?' No. I looked around the room. It didn't take long... the repair people did a bad job. 'Those are bullet holes.' Then I told him the story. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked slot machines when I could walk around with my cup of coins and enjoy having coins fall into the pay tray. I always played to a limit, perhaps $10 or $20 and walked away when it was gone. I usually skimmed the winnings off the top of the 10/20 and left with whatever I had won. If I lost I stopped. Then they changed over from coins to printed tickets and imaginary points. It wasn't fun anymore and I quit. One time at the casino womaxx gave me a 10 to play with and I put it in my wallet and quit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We turned that into ~$100 in 30 minutes of fun. Walked away with the house's cash 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted March 4 Share #15 Posted March 4 Go on a cruise. I was relaxing and the food was plentiful and good but I would have liked to spend more time at the destinations. I guess I am glad I did it once but I don't have the will to do it again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted March 4 Share #16 Posted March 4 I struggle with thinking of something I would never do again that I had done before. I’d guess running a marathon is high on the list or surfing due to my inner ear condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted March 4 Share #20 Posted March 4 While I have enjoyed them immensely in the past, I think I will never again do a backwards barrel-roll & loop roller coaster. Too much head jerking. Did one a few years ago at Universal, and was cooked after one ride. Not even sure if the forward facing ones will be on my list anymore despite loving roller coasters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might like a cycling river barge cruise. Sail into a town in the morning, disembark, ride bikes in the late morning & early afternoon, meet the barge in the destination town, spend evening and night docked, rinse and repeat the next day.

The river cruises have caught my eye, One of the things I didn't care much for on the ocean cruise with the travel day. There was nothing to look at except water. A travel day on a river criuse would at least offer some scenery to look at as I enjoy a cocktail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the point of many folks vacations Just kick back and relax. Read a book. Take a nap. Go for a swim. Have some tea. Maybe work on your pickleball game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
