Yeah but I'm never late or my tee time. FORE.

[UncleWede]

Oh, TEE time. So you PEE at 2 like the rest of us?

Which is why you need to get off my lawn, especially with your indoor shoes!

Don't go mixing threads now. That's bad for you. You'll wake up with a wicked hangover.

That's some senior citizen action right there.

2020: You coming over tonight? Ya, I just picked up the danish raspberry swirl from Spinilli's Bakery, K great! The girls will be happy.

1990/2000's: you coming over tonight? Ya I got the kush from Toronto and some grey goose, K great! The girls will be happy.

Edit: nothing wrong with some party favours IMO, I'm just older now and do not partake anymore.

Party favors? Ha! I just re-counted the number of drinks I had tonight to see if I could still take some Advil. Nope...

You want hot? Weather projections for the next 5 days here:

Thursday 107
Friday 109
Saturday 107
Sunday 107
Monday 103

And I got to play golf Friday with a noon tee time. Might bail on that one.

No, my dad had a '74 Sedan de Ville - my daddylac. It was a freakin boat. Went through power steering units like crazy from parallel parking in tight spots. That front end was massive and heavy.

I used to make fun of my father asking what's wrong dad, your arms aren't long enough to read? The struggle is real. Even with my readers I have done the same thing.

The only positive thing with Covid is I have found I can in fact go back to sleep when my eyes open at 3:45 am. So now I've been sleeping in and getting up at 5:00

Yeah right.

I have so much respect for the guys I hire to do landscaping and other yard work. This guys are out there working hard in this.

I was going to call and have some new plants put in Friday but jeez, I'll wait until monday. That 5 degrees makes all the difference.

My reading distance and up-close vision is still pretty good. What I have problems with are the tiny fonts being used on postage stamp-sized instruction sheets in products these days. I blame it all on LED lighting and its razor-sharp color temperatures, and keep an LED flashlight with a different color temperature next to my chair to improve the contrast when reading the fine print.

On a sad note, I just found out last night that one of my former racing co-drivers (and SCCA spirit animal) passed away a few days ago from COVID. Needless to say, he was always welcome on my lawn.....

Remember the olden days, when the Garden State Parkway toll was $0.25 at every tollbooth? I just saw on the NYC TV news yesterday that they are raising the Parkway (and Turnpike) tolls *again*...and you will need to take out a second mortgage to drive the entire length of the Parkway from the NYS Thruway interchange (by BMW's North American HQ) to Cape May.....
