    Me to my wife: "This [cup / mint wrapper / paper sack] has been on the floorboard of the Tahoe for a few weeks now.
    Want me to throw it away when we get out?"

    Her: "How about you just leave my stuff alone & let ME deal with MY stuff?"

    Next time we ride in the Tahoe again [prob. 10+ days later]...

    Yep, [insignificant trash item] still there.

    Or just throw it away?

    This is the answer.  If it's trivial trash in the floorboard, it's a little passive aggressive to just keep pointing it out.  Just get rid of it and don't make a deal out of it.

    I can live with quite a few 8-9 win seasons, especially assuming we’re eventually looking at a 9 game SEC schedule, as long as there is 1.) A winning record vs OU, and 2.) Some 10+ win upside years every few years where the team competes for a conference and national title.

     

    3.) Punk aggy at every opportunity.

  3. First board was a Nash for Christmas in probably 1976 or so.  Rode that a couple years then put Kryptonics wheels on it.  It got stolen.  Next board was a Bahne with Bennett Pros and Kryptonics.  That one banged around in my parent’s garage for about 25 years.  Don’t know if it’s still there. Would love to get a cruiser/longboard and just screw around with in the neighborhood.  I surf, windsurf, etc. along with other exercise so am relatively fit and balanced.

    I got the Rona on the flight back from Scotland 2 weeks ago. Knocked me and Mrs NNM down for about 4 days. Cough, fever, aches, pains, etc.  All good now, but I just don’t bounce back as quickly as I used to. 

    I’m friends with a British couple that live here in Houston but older parents, siblings, cousins and whatnot back in the old country.  One or the other of them frequently makes a trip back for normal family type of stuff.  Since COVID started they’ve both contracted it multiple times after that flight.

    I saw an article that I chose not to click on earlier this month that stated that the USA was no long a prime rib country. 

    I was at my local HEB on Christmas Eve (they were open) to pick up my rib roast. Just in the 5-10 minutes I stood there, I bet those guys handled 150 lbs of rib roasts. Totally ridiculous amount of beef back there behind the counter. 
     

    I did a garlic / herb / olive oil rub, and smoked it over apple & cherry.  Delicious.

    Got another one.  While putting my wife through her undergrad, then Master's before returning to school myself, I worked at a Mexican restaurant in Knoxville.  Manager fired me one night.  He was being a bitch, so I threw my apron at him.  I didn't expect 15 pens and 40 coins to turn into restaurant, break room shrapnel.  

    The next day, I quickly obtained a temp-to-perm job at Whirlpool.  I was to train for a month, then fill in for those on vacation.  Something that should have been easy was incredibly difficult.  Contractors building housing developments would call to order appliances.  I had to be able to determine which appliances, with certain outlets, and certain product numbers, go where.  It was FAR more confusing than it should have been.  I show up on Day 2 and their all, "Congrats!  You're on the floor!".  I barely knew how to answer the phone at this point.  Cool.  I'll just do my best and wing it.  First call.  8:01AM.  "I need 34 units of the T34 model with outlet codes xyz."  I mean, I'm typing b.s., but it's nowhere close to how confusing this was.  I put the guy on hold and just leave.  Later that day, I talked my manager into giving me my restaurant job back.

    I'm still waiting on hold.  Where the hell are my T34's?
