Well, I cant get the date to show in the title when it comes up in the "other" page,
I don’t know how to work this stupid coffee machine and I can’t get the smoke detector to stop going off but I opened the breakroom anyway.

Noticed the bulbs in all the lamps had been unscrewed and after fixing it and finding out there was a very good reason why it’s kept dark in here I unscrewed them again.

Looks like somebody spilled mustard on the wall. Its not the first time.

You saw it here first. This is a direct quote made by Scot at the end of last weeks breakroom. Apparently he finally saw the light.
Ok, so the quote may have been taken a little out of context but heck, if major news networks and politicians can do it, so can I.

Yup, I am going to start shopping right now. My old home built one is just about ready to spontaneously combust.
I could smell that brisket from here.

I’m going to go take a nap and come back after the donut shop is open.

The only way I know of to make the date appear is to TYPE IT IN JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE!

And it's not mustard.

It's wrong when they do it, and even wronger when YOU do it. They're just 'dumb animals' and... well, ok, maybe you ARE entitled to do it too!



Morning all.

1998 - 229 people were killed when a Swissair jetliner crashed into the Atlantic near Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia. The pilot had reported smoke in the cockpit a few minutes before the crash.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

I keep hearing about kids who are all excited about going back to school. That's a good thing I guess, but I don't remember being excited about it. I remember dreading it and wishing I didn't have to go.

What about you? Did you look forward to it or not?

Bark, you don't have to answer if you don't wanna, (I understand you're feelings of self-consciousness and embarrassment, so I'm being kind, caring and compassionate!).

Ok, enough of that mushy crap, COFFEE'S ON! And it's oh so gooood this mornin' too! Did you know that just a pinch of chaw in with the grounds changes the whole ambiance of the brew?

A very good analogy:

Good find Bark.. I think I'm gonna like this week's breakroom


Morning heathens,I'm off to work on the truck. Oil, fuel filter change and replace the shocks with a new set of Bilstens. Hopefully the truck will ride a little better considering the I have 190,000 on the stockers

Morning folks, hope everyone is doing well.

Hows all the horses doing together Eric, things settling down on the new homestead?


Well I finally did it, been talking about getting the wife a new Subaru for the last 6 years or so. Time to retire the 99 Jeep cherokee, she's been super reliable but is starting to show the age/mileage related gremlins. It gets traded Wednesday morning when I pick up her new Forester.


Ya'll have a great week.

Scotty

Greetings fellow and fellowette DTRonians. The sky is blue, there is NO wind and the fall temps are here. High of 70 today. Beautiful just like my Leggs and my Elder Twin's Leggs. Went to a wedding last night. Had lots of fun. Danced my Leggs into a frenzy-pretzel that wouldnt stop twisting and boogying. Yeah thats me Mr. Boonbastic the dance Machine. Enjoy the day and your week. i removed the light bulbs because they were setting off the smoke alarm. Somone was trying to cook hot dogs on the bulbs. if that isn't mustard, what is it?

Shorts

Morning. No light bulbs and "mustard" on the wall sounds about the right tone to kick off the week.

Let's get on with it.

Looking at the weather forecast, it looks like a good week to grab a 12 pack and try to drink it before it gets hot....

cougar

Morning folks, getting a little break from the rain until the next wave.

Note:
Will the last person to use the toilet PLEASE leave the exhaust fan on!

Afternoon DTR.

On a 3 day weekend but I'm spending part of it working on the truck. Starter gear hung up on the flywheel yesterday and the alt is going out. Alot of fun, i forgot how that top bolt on the starter can be a PITA to remove. Truck won't be fixed till later this week. Parts store I use won't be open till tuesday. I'm borrowing dads truck till then.

Sorry to barge in folks, not my normal thing.

When I saw Bark started the break room with the title "Move along, nothing to see here", well, I knew I just HAD to see.......

Moving along now....

Shorts

I'll take the physical challenge

Fronty Owner

109 today, 108 tomorrow, 106 tuesday. It could be a challenge just to get to the ice chest without it getting hot...

Bark

But I did!! Sniff Sniff. It even shows up right in the thread but in the title on the "other" page its not right. It hates me--Sniff.

Thanks, and that reminds me. I haven't posted that generic disclaimer from a couple years ago for ya lately.
P.S. I also dreaded school until those little girls who used to throw rocks at me became bigger little girls (a few still threw rocks at me but hormones protected me from injury).

Ok, I found it:

There, you are covered for another week.

Just bought a new outback for my wife. She is going to "give me" her 86 Subaru (245k miles). Tried to trade it in but the dealer was a jerk about it. He wanted to charge us.
Plus, that car makes the best dried salmon. Wonder how the new one is going to work out.

Subconsciously we know he really wants a Stihl but is afraid of using something that professional.

Hey, glad to hear ya enjoying yourself. And another week without doctor appointments?.

Talk about a hit and run.

Sorry. Thats actually the whitefish soaking in the tub for the Lutefisk next week. The smell may get a little worse before it gets better.

Its been months since I had a beer (trying for 6). I would have to break my beer fast if it was that hot.

Starting to do the prep work for my Father In-laws wedding.
He is marrying a much younger woman (she is 68).
He called me and asked if I had any "contacts" who could score him some viagra because his doctor wont give him any.
Hmmm, wonder why (3 bypass surgery's, Glaucoma, High BP, Leukemia, old ect ).

Just had a thought. All those dopers and dealers I dealt with years ago are a lot older (the few who survived).
Wonder if the old dealers now sell Viagra instead of crack?

It was like 80 when Issac was blowing thru. not bad, 30 degree rise in a few days.

Viagra is OTC in Dubai.
Its about $20/box of four for the 100 mg
I dont bother with anything less.
I cut them in quarters to get the teenager effect again.

If you know anyone outside the US, have them mail you a box or two. I use a buddy in Dubai. One of my other co-workers uses a buddy in Azer.
