  1. I have Jandy pumps. Don't remember number, but top of the line, variable speed, etc. Guy who put it in says don't worry if line gets plugged up because Jandy has a thermal cut off so they don't overheat and destroy themselves. Had a problem, pump got very hot and repair man says no, Jandy's do not have heat protection. Who is right?
  2. I know that you know you need to work with your physician on fluid and electrolytes. In addition, consider getting a badass cane for stability. Maybe a Bat Masterson with sterling silver head, or gold if you really want to strut. I always thought a shillelagh would be cool.
  3. Dude, treat yourself. Life is short.
  4. Sometimes I say, "You do know I can't hear that voice in your head, right?" I only say that sometimes because the tone stare sort of ruins the day for me.
  5. Every day that I wake up not dead is the best day of my life. I guess you can call that an Annus Mirabilius but I'm not sure. I'm probably not going to accomplish much more than that.
  6. What is this "Austin" you speak of?
  7. We now accept gotchas' and acerbic one liners as news.
  8. SIAP. Can the ooni be used for steaks, like a salamander? Definitely want to get an Otto Gril, but if I can save space that would be nice.
  9. I tossed about a dozen hard drives from the office into a cardboard box and drizzled a gallon of Elmers over the whole pile.
  10. Metamucil, Miralax, and fucking Reglan? Brother, that is a cocktail from hell! It's amazing you have any safe days. God bless.
  11. How does one heat 75 lbs of lye to 300 degrees? Asking for a friend.
  12. My foot is already tired and it hasn't done any good yet.
  13. Over a lifetime I have built up a pretty nice collection of guitars. When discussing passing them on to my son he said, "I don't want them. I'll try to sell them or just throw them away". I was stunned. On the other hand, I'm a sentimental old fool. It is a burden. I don't ever play it, but damned if I will sell my 1961 Duo Sonic. It's a burden.
  14. If anyone is still interested. She wears it. Was not ecstatic when I gave it to her, but she can be droll. It's pretty soft, as would be expected, and has to be bent slightly for her to get it on her wrist so I worry about metal fatigue/breakage. At least we have another oz. in the house, so I'm happy enough with that.
  15. Please make some hot weather suggestions. I like pinpoint but damned if I'm going to wear it in 105. What brands of polos keep their shape and are not heavy? I've looked for "warm weather sport coats", but none of them look "cool" to me. Casual. I'm not dressing up in this heat.
  16. Would an AMG GT 63 s stay out of the shop? I'll stop dreaming if they're junk. I used to be afraid of turbos but my Volvo has been flawless so maybe...but I know nothing about Mercedes reliability.
  17. I think that was Wizard of Oz.
  18. I just tucked that manila folder into my carry on for a trip to see the grandkids. You see, a phone is a machine and all machines break at some point. Usually at the most inopportune time, like while boarding an airplane. A printed piece of paper never has low batteries or a weak signal, whippersnapper.
  19. A Makers float is tempting.
  20. Can you eat ice cream. Seems like some dense calories.
  21. Didn't y'all ever watch Disney's "Fantasia", you know, the dinosaur scene where they are just wandering around, eating one another, and minding their own business. Then...BOOM!! Mother Nature gets tired of all that shit and wants a change. Ain't nothing any man, woman, child, or dinosaur can do. If Mother Nature wants a change, she is going to have a gotdamn change. We are a gnat on an elephant's butt. Nothing we can do. tl/dr: We're fucked.

  22. We put plantation shutters on several French Doors in a previous house. Very functional but may be more visual weight than you want.
  23. Chet Atkins, or I saw Andres Segovia at The Union one time and he was pretty bitchin'.
  24. Swift I think. They certainly live up to that name.
  25. I'll look tonight to see if my guys have that white collar.
