OT: Thread About Nothing (TaN #...lost count)

[My3Sons]

Montreal is the first place I ever truly got drunk, just off of St Catherines street in 1989. That was some night. I went into a bar on St Denis Street to watch Montreal play Boston. At 8:00pm on the button the lights wents out in the bar and a spot light came on and topless girls came out. I was with my girlfriend now my wife. It's a story we still tell.

One of my frat brothers ended up proposing to the prettiest stripper one year we road-tripped there. To be fair she was very pretty.

I was 18 at the time so everything was pretty spectacular to me

I'm posting from the woods having a cup of coffee. I feel horrible looking at my phone during such a beautiful morning...its a nice morning but no movement at all. The woods are super quiet aside from the sound acorns falling. But the colors against the steel blue sky are awesome today. The woods have a golden hue to them with no sun to speak of

Unfortunately my phone couldn't do the Creek justice.

Right behind you.

When I worked as a logistician and went to Moscow by train every day in 2016, a stripper guy, tall and handsome, sometimes sat on the train, and he often argued with his father on the phone that he had a normal job. I've witnessed this conversation five times, maybe more.

One of my favorite things to do with my wife and daughters is to go to one of the state parks and just walk. No music, no man made noise, nothing.

Spend the day around the Delaware Water Gap. Beautiful day and lots of colors.

Is it ruined?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Is it ruined?

So it seems. Will not turn on. I'm going to let it dry for a day before trying again, but it's likely toast....

That sucks... but I have had a phone take a few days to dry out after get caught in a bad rain storm.

First it wouldn't turn on. Then it would turn on without a display and finally it just started working after 3 or 4 days of drying out.

Hope it works out for you.

Went on a date today for the first time in a long time. It went really well. I haven't felt a a connection with someone like this for a while. It's a bonus that she's extremely cute.

Does she fish and/or can she run a boat?

These are the things that matter!

She's leaving Monday for a vacation stay in a cabin on a lake in New Hampshire. Her goal is to catch enough fish to make fish jerky from. It's too bad I didn't get to know her sooner as I'd have loved to go with her. Our date was an 8 mile walk along the Delaware during which she pointed out spots she caught fish on homemade lures. I'm feeling pretty good about this one Jim

It’s not easy to find someone to truly connect with. I wish you luck in your pursuit.

Don't mess it, man, be yourself. Hope it is your second half. Or what epithets you are using, guys. I still believe in it. My father and mother were together in love until the end, im in love with my wife for 12 years and I feel it more stronger now.
But it was so great to start knowing each other in the beggining. Its a great emotional time. Hope she lives closer to you than 1500 km like we did. It should make it easier.

The real mystery is how my brother in law can still love his wife. I think she was the model for the harpies of Greek myth. But they toned the harpies down compared to her.

She needs to give birth to three children, and that the last ones would be feisty twin boys. It helped my brother's wife become a nice person.
May be, overall your bro'n'law need to find worser person to being with to unite with her wife against this person.

She’s older than my wife and thr bay factory is closed. They have two children and neither helped her disposition. Some people are just painfully self centered and mean.

I'm not a fan but... may be psychologist? Or try to invest power and pain in some collective hobby. Im always trying to find solution.

Check out this blue claw I got last week, that’s a 9” paper plate.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

You guys are quite supportive Thanks! I guess it went well as she invited me over today and we cooked a breakfast of bacon, eggs and sausage over a fire in her backyard. She sure knows the way to my heart

Nice! Looks nice and heavy too. I eat about 300 of them over the summer. Where do you crab? I have a spot in Pine Beach that's great but it's usually 5.5 to 6.5 there and nothing bigger. Miss having a boat. Lost the boat (and house) in Sandy and moved off the lagoon.

Have you been to The Surfing Crab in Lewes, DE? I used to go to Captain James which is a local spot in Baltimore a few times a year for all you can eat. Really nice setting on the water away from the tourist traps. The Surfing Crab is a bit cheaper, the crabs are much heavier, but it's on a highway. Don't really care much since my daughter and I are pigging out on crabs for 2 hours.
