Harry P. Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 It's been raining all day and looks as if it will continue through the evening. That means no pool tonight. Why not? Afraid you'll get wet?
Harry P. Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 School. And weight lifting... Both are good for you...
Pete J. Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Why not? Afraid you'll get wet? You want to shoot 8 ball in the rain???
Harry P. Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 You want to shoot 8 ball in the rain??? His "pool" is the kind with water in it.
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 You want to shoot 8 ball in the rain??? His "pool" is the kind with water in it. Brainstorm...instead of water polo, how about water pool? Pool in the pool? Get it? Oh, never mind.
Pete J. Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 ....or you could do it in a car and you could have car pool.......or combine the car with a bowling alley and you could have a car pool lane..... or.....
Draggon Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 My favorite pub of four years changed their Happy Hour menu without notice. No more half price wings and mussels, they decided people wanted mac & cheese and tiny little meatball sandwiches instead. Guess we need to find a new place! Just have a few more drinks before your food arrives. Vodka is good. After awhile you wont be able to tell the difference between mac and mussels.
bobthehobbyguy Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Isn't management wonderful(Not ). At least you weren't subscribing to rod and custom, the powers to be decided that some subcribers should receive road and track in its place.
Tom Geiger Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I think their financial guys decided to go with mac and cheese and meatballs instead... Mac and cheese is dirt cheap, and you can make meatballs out of just about any kind of... um... "meat"... Pretty much a financial decision no doubt. Although this place has been there 25 years, owns the entire shopping center, and is always crazy busy with people waiting for tables. It's a homey kind of place like Cheers, the staff addresses you by name and knows your usual order. And the bar is always filled with regulars we know and have conversations with. I spoke to one of the managers and he said that the regulars were flipping out. So we'll see. In the mean time there is no shortage of places with Happy Hour specials in this area. My wife has uncovered a couple more places we hadn't tried.

No shortage of Happy Hour places in walking distance of my office in Old Town Scottsdale...went to a place called 'Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers' the other afternoon...and surprise, surprise they lived up to their name..
blunc Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 they serve cold cheeseburgers? that would irk me too.
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 While I was out doing a favor for a friend, some walking sack-of-excrement sorry excuse for a human being dumped a load of used tires off on the shoulder across the street from my house. Wouldn't be so bad if any of them were usable, but they all have holes in the sidewalls.

Ace-Garageguy Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Tire swings! Maybe I should put 'em on ebay for $29.95 each. "Genuine old-school nostalgic tire-swing kits !!! Relive a simpler time, visit your roots, and do the planet some good all at the same time by recycling these pieces of automotive history into authentic, historically-accurate tire-swings !!! These vintage tires have been scientifically modified to be un-usable as tires any more, and that makes them especially desirable as swing-kits. The strategically placed holes in the sidewalls conveniently drain water to eliminate the problem of mosquitoes breeding in the lower-priced brand. Fun for the whole family !!! Free shipping with orders of 10 or more". Edited September 21, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy
Craig Irwin Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I'm sure they are banned by most neighborhood associations today.
Tom Geiger Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 That's how I recycled an old worn out model kit tire when I built the little playhouse!
Joe Handley Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Left work early due to being sick, the last 12 hours have sucked.
Harry P. Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Met up with yet another clueless driver this morning. How is it possible that a sane person will back out of their driveway into the street without bothering to look if any cars are coming? I mean seriously. Wouldn't even the stupidest person's instinct tell them that maybe you should check to see if the road is clear before you back out into it?

my80malibu Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I find that if I look ten times, and all is clear there is always some clueless driver that comes zooming by at the last minute.

Rob Hall Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I see them all the time. One drawback to parking on 6th floor of a parking garage are the people backing out into the narrow one way paths that I encounter on the way up or down. Edited September 22, 2014 by Rob Hall
Pete J. Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Pickups, SUV's Mini or Maxi vans any of those slab sided monsters out there! Why such a rant? Well, Harry, you mentioned clueless drivers. I drive an MR 2 and if I am parked next to any of the afore mentioned vehicles, I can't see(expletive deleted)until I am 2/3s of the way out, so backing out of a parking space is a slow careful exercise in hoping that those going by aren't running at full speed and can see me, because I sure as heck can't see them!

forthlin Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I got a speeding ticket this morning. 40 in a 25. I was late for work & wasn't watching my speed.
