The real deal INCOMING! Fuck, 100+ drones and missiles and a wave of cruise missiles? Yikes. Am I the only one flipping between channels to watch live cams?

I left Long Island at 9 and got home about 10, it was a dense line of traffic at the southern end and by the time I got halfway up I684 it was a solid 3 lanes going southbound at (maybe) 30 mph. I...

I worked in all sorts of kitchens for years until I was about 30 and the cleanest, by far, were the big casino kitchens in Tahoe. Every day each kitchen that was used was emptied, scrubbed, and...

Haha

One of the things we've talked about a few times in this thread is not leaving unfinished business. I did but with the best intentions. I didn't see the need to bring the hurt opening what I thought...

Here's an idea. Record some of your last conversations with your parent. The sound of their voice gets muddy pretty quickly. It could also be used to protect yourself from the asshole sibling that...

There are some people here that I'll really miss. I'll also really miss the "safe place" aspect of the place, the anonymity has been valuable to me, I can say things and talk about things here that I...

I'm gonna miss this place.

Go to Crutchfield and put in the vehicle details and it'll tell you what's available and what kit you need.

Perpetual reconstruction or just let them fall apart like they do here in NY.

Ehh, you're pretty entertaining :shrug:

The new LGA is a good airport. I have no idea what it's like dealing with rental cars there but the parking is easy access for each terminal, it's not...

There was too much... Somehow I always figured it would smooth out when my parents were gone my brother would stop being mamas boy. Nope. Now he's on a power trip too. Oh well, right. Grrr

Just because this is my field of nerdery I'm going to add my 2 cents; The temp drop is commensurate (fuckn multi syllables and spelled right!) with the relative humidity. On dry days the initial temp...

Yup it's official. My brother is a dick and will receive a proper beatdown soon. Now I'm almost sorry I went to my dad's funeral and spent time with the family afterwards. This sux.

Buttahbrain you need to either smoke better weed or no weed because whatever is on the tray now is making you stupid(er).

So, as my dad left us on Friday we had an earthquake and now I have to watch a partial eclipse tomorrow on Long Island. He knew I was looking forward to this for 20+ years so it's like his final kick...

Can't sleep, got maybe 4 hours. It's gonna be a long day.

My brother turned into an instant asshole. He's going to be mamas boy (mom hated my wife and disinherited me) and do everything to freeze me out. He sent the funeral announcement and only put him and...

Hahaha

Yup, rattled the pictures on the wall here. Fukn cool.

Sorry, the USGS uses these measurements so apparently...

The big deal with this was the depth and length. It started with a good thump like a big helicopter overhead then rumbled for 20 seconds or...

Yeah that was him kicking me in the ass saying 'dumbass! '

Well, it's over for my dad. I had a good cry. Now it's time to move forward. If the science in the brain activity thread is right, the earthquake we had a little while ago was him saying goodbye as...

I guess that depends on where you've determined Upstate to be

You're all shook up

And then a rapid aftershock of 4.7 7km NNE of Whitehouse Station NJ at a depth of 5km

5km NE of Lebanon NJ at a depth of 1km! Childs play for some maybe but that shit doesn't happen here in the northeast.

We did, a 4.8 5km NE of Lebanon NJ

Holy shit! I think we just had a significant earthquake :eek:

I think that the next time I need stuff like that I'm going to try Mevotech. I like the features and I've had 2 mechanics now tell me that they prefer most of their stuff over just about everything...

Silly forum software won't let me.

Yeah I'm just having a hard time with it because our relationship was broken for so long and we just kind of danced around it after my mom died. We got close to dealing with it over the last few...

Sure and a couple of glasses being toasted like the emoji on my GAndroid keyboard.

Cool! Need a beer shirt.

Well, the docs opinion is that my dad will probably not wake up again before he passes :( I'll go sit with him for a while when I get back to NY on Friday and talk to him for a bit but... Fuck

FUCK

I've read similar a few times. Can't say I'm surprised because the brain is kinda like its own battery.

Oof

By the end of the day tomorrow my backyard will be just under 80" of rain in 10 months. It's a soggy, moldy, mildewy mess, the garlic rotted in the ground over the winter and the only perennial...

Why, too much emotion displayed or what? It sure doesn't belong in polyass because there's very little having to do with our domestic political mess. Most of us wouldn't see it either so we wouldn't...

That's what we're trying to do this week so my wife and I took off and we're in South Beach (Miami). We thought maybe we could disconnect for a few days, drink some margaritas and get a sunburn but...

Oh and today my FIL started having problems swallowing. Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to them passing?

One of the worst parts of dementia is the meanness and paranoia. Some of the things my FIL and my dad have said to us is truly horrible. There's no sugarcoating it, IT SUCKS.

@rod I think it's time to see just how flexible your dumb old ass is.

Happy Birthday

Even better when you're holding it and you're on the island of Bimini

Not NYBOD 492767492768

It's looking like there's gonna be some unfinished business between me and my dad. I think we're in the last few days now, he's in a hospice center and only receiving painkillers. The Dilaudid has...

I'm not too worried, figure I'll drive overnight to wherever it's not going to be cloudy and plant myself next to my cooler when I get there. As long as there's a place to piss I'm good.

I saw a Vista
It was Cruising

It's fun when they get caught in your wheel. Been there, done that. :eek: It sucked. It's even worse when one of the overpopulated deer takes you out broadside after your buddy in front of you spooks...
