    OT: 90 Days

    I have 90 calender days left at work, for the last 43 yrs I have walked through the doors of a state office (Roads}. And that will end on Oct 2nd, it is a bitter sweet time for me. I have been telling stories of some of the stuff I have seen and done in those 43 yrs. It is time for the young bucks to take over. I just wish that they would listen to me when they ask for advice.But it is up to them to make thier minds up. I can only tell them what I would do. I have had many close calls (Death/ injuried) I got luckly about a month ago, when a backhoe swung around nearly hitting me. I hit deck, got up and the backhoe operator was white as a ghost. I got lazy and didn't let him know that I was behind him. So it was my fault. I have also had 4 ribs broken and a wrist. I got pinched in a semi trailer and broke the ribs., and when I broke my wrist I was trying break my fall and trying not to get stuck by some rebar. Okay enough of this. I think it will be a sad last day, but I wont have to worry about jobs anymore and can sleep at night.

  5. You must have more luck than me. The couple times I went to a casino, I limited myself to a certain amount of losses, played slots and hit my loss limit within about 20 minutes. Hung out in the bar and watched TV from there until my group was ready to go. Decided that was no fun and wasn't ever going back to a casino. To this day, I'm just astonished at all the cars/semis pulled into casino parking lots at like 11 a.m. whenever I pass places on the highway that have them.

  8. I personally wouldn't buy the $300 bottle of hooch, but that's simply because you can get one that's 95% as good for about $70 and one that's 90% as good for about $35. So, for consumer items like that I would probably not get it (unless it was for some very special occasion and I wanted to have the experience of it). Given the choices listed and gun to my head having to choose one, I'll take the scotch all day every day and twice on Sunday over the others. But for a durable good like your knife, and if it's something you know you enjoy and will use a lot, then absolutely I say buy that. Get yourself a nice bottle of Templeton Rye to go with it and that's a good day in my mind.

  9. I don't understand why you can't buy all 3 off your options plus the knife, miter saw, fishing tackle and the upgrade in basketball seats. Just live the American dream and purchase all of them on your credit card, make the bare minimum monthly payment, and then leave all of these great toys to your family when you pass along with the remaining debt. Seems like a win-win for everyone!! Well, maybe its more of a win for you, but when you're dead, at least you've lived a hell of a life.

  10. So, kinda the back-story on this: I'd seen bottles of 18-year-old MacAllen behind locked glass at liquor store displays in the past. A year ago, that stuff was probably bringing $250/bottle. Now, it's more like $300. And I always thought that was a hell of a lot of money to spend on hooch. Really good hooch, to be sure, but hooch nevertheless. As I was sitting on my patio on 4th of July, watching neighbors all around me light off half my net worth in fireworks, I recalled a time a few years back when I decided to splurge on fireworks and bought a couple of these and a few of those and, what the hell, that $50 thing would make a grand finale, etc., and my eventual tab rung up to probably around three hundred bucks. But, somehow, lighting it all off was strangely dissatisfying. Three hundred bucks didn't generate as long of a show as you might expect. Each $20-$30 item was maybe not quite as spectacular as I'd imagined it might be. And I decided I wasn't going to do that again. So, as I sat on my patio watching my neighbors almost literally burning through money, I started thinking about other similar-cost purchases and what kind of utility you might get out of them. And I ended up deciding that I could make the "fireworks" from a $300 bottle of top-shelf single malt scotch last a bit longer and be a bit more satisfying than a bunch of gunpowder that would go up in smoke in one evening. I didn't buy the scotch, though, either. I'm actually thinking about buying a carbon steel Japanese chef knife for roughly the same price. Because that bitch should last for-frickin-ever and help me produce some fine eating for a lot of friends and family to enjoy over the course of a lifetime -- and then be worthy of inheriting once I pass from this life. If you'd have been willing to consider blowing up $300 worth of fireworks on 4th of July, are there any other roughly $300 things you'd now think differently about buying, having read this thread? That compound miter saw you've had your eye on, perhaps? Some new fishing tackle? Upgrading your basketball seats? It's the off-season, guys. Talk to me.

    "Huskers Together"...

    Whitney Brown: https://spark.adobe.com/page/KYotDlg3KlY05/ “Team chemistry is going to play a huge role in our success this year, and I am not one bit worried about it because from the minute all of us girls stepped in the weight room together, joined Zoom calls, or texted in our group messages, you could sense the team chemistry,” Brown said. “From my perspective, we’ve already got great teamwork, encouragement and a strong bond. We scrimmaged each other a couple times, had movie nights and team bonding activities and have been working out together the past three or four weeks. Week by week, we are getting closer together and stronger on the court."

  13. Huskerpapa: I remember our party line call was three rings, but nobody cared since everyone knew that everyone else on the line picked up any ring. You could tell how dull your conversation was by the number of quiet "clicks" you heard as people gradually hung up. That included the operator who listened in to everyone in town when she was bored.

  15. With a name like that, it's probably a good thing he wasn't playing in our conference while I was a student in the Red Zone. I imagine I would've been tossed at least once for unsavory comments.

  16. This is cool, but all the experts are projecting him to just go pro in some capacity and never step foot on a college court. May still help normalize these studs choosing a HBCU over the usual suspects.

  17. I hope it does. Could you imagine a super team coming out of the MEAC to win it all? I'd be down for it.

  18. I may have told this story on here before, but I don't care because I love this story. So, I am at the Bob with my Dad. I have 2 season tickets. It's when the price was $99 a seat for the nose bleeds. The Bob is decently full. There's only a dull hum of noise though. The game is in hand. It's in the second half. Ping gets subbed in for the first time. An inbounds play under our basket. Well Ping does something wrong which throughly pisses Doc off. I think he cut the wrong way, went to the wrong spot, ended up with the ball that was ment for someone else, and finally lost the ball out of bounds for a turnover. While its happening you can hear Doc coaching Ping. Over everyone. Loud. And crystal clear. "Ping!! PING!!! GOD DAMN IT PING!!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE PING!!!! Doc called a time out. Subbed out Ping. He was in the game maybe 5 seconds. And that was the last of Ping for that game. Ping was soooooo bad.

  19. One thing about Yvan: I believe he cares. I think he really wants to get better, and did, and isn’t ambivalent about the game.

  20. Thanks for the love, guys! It's been nuts since all this insanity started. Online sales are through the roof. I've got restaurants on both coasts that are getting our products shipped to them. We've been averaging about 5000 lbs of ground beef shipping out every week. We do some stuff with Adam Carriker. Right now, we have a 15% discount off your total order if you use the promo code Carriker15 at checkout. And , as always, feel free to pm me if you have questions or want to place larger orders. I'll work with you.

  21. Good stuff. If you're in the Omaha area, check out Angus Burgers & Shakes--also with its beef supplied from the same great family (from my home county in central Nebraska).
