First-World Problems

Good thing you’ve got the 6th to get you home then.

TR if it's calm LI Sound is like a lake but it has a reputation for getting choppy when it's windy. If the forecast is good and winds are expected to be light it should be pretty easy and fun. But it's like 20 miles wide at it's widest (but quite a bit less other places), I'd have to think you be pretty damn sore after you did 40 miles on a jetski

Ok, thanks ice. I'll tell him I'm in but only on a nice calm day.

I had the piss scared out of me on Lake Champlain in a small boat a couple years ago when some unexpected weather rolled in. The "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" kept playing over in my head. Along with the fear of getting attacked by lampreys should it flip.

I ❤️ boating in jeans.

Jetskiing is just a nice way of saying you're going to hate life for the next tank of gas. Pass, your ass will thank you.

I can totally relate to your tale above. Growing up me and a couple buddies took out a very small sailboat on the business side of the breakwall on Lake Erie. Weather came up quickly, as it does on that lake, and we were running for home as quick as we could. Problem was, the wind and the waves were too much and we were just pinned against the breakwall, in sight of the docks but no way to get around - just taking a beating. I was convinced we were going to die there, left to be eaten alive by lampreys.

There's always a gust of wind coming off Lake Erie and Ontario.

So you're thinking its a bad idea? I'm conflicted now. He seems hell bent on getting me on the water so perhaps I suggest some flounder fishing in the bay instead, though that has always ended in frustration for me, and a squid bonanza for the spider crabs.

that was fun. invite's open if you ever get back this way again. should have a better boat by then I hope.

TR honestly I've only buzzed around lakes and shit a bit, you'd probably wise to listen to BMills. A shorter trip might be a better idea. Maybe go for lunch in the next harbor or something?

They went and changed the espresso beans at Starbucks. Not the same old beans I've been buying for about seven years. And I bought two pounds because they were hard to get in the panic times, so now Im stuck with this for a few months.

What about getting creative and making them into art?

Recently installed WiFi at the lake house is not strong enough for me to work effectively on the upper deck. Now I need to work on the lower patio like a commoner.

Heh. Upper deck. Heh.

I’m on the dock, wife it up at the house. My beer is empty.

I shoot her a text to grab me a beer, I hear her text notification from her phone in the chair next to me.

Now I need to walk up and get my own beer.

Now that's a real first world problem.

Chop't (a salad only take-out restaurant chain in urban east coast markets) eliminated iceberg lettuce from their offerings. I like my salads made with iceberg. Now I'm stuck with ordering the fu-fu lettuce.

Holy shit

Iceberg is the quintessential second world go to, amirite? As in mid-western buffet?

Maybe not, but what about FEEUQ?

I’m on my first business trip in months and all the good restaurants with outdoor seating were closed by the time I got here.

Out for Christmas work dinner at the new job wondering if I should order the $55, $75 or $135 Rib Eye and the two people next to me each order the doubles of the Wagyu steak far exceeding my $135 steak. Made my decision pretty easy. Clean plate club too...
