OT - NO POLITICS Turn back the clocks edition

[TD Charlie]

We have been in our current home 5 years and it has sliding shower doors. My daughter is 11 so only has showered in our current home. When we were on vacation she almost flooded the bathroom because she was showering with the curtain out. Woops, cant blame her though, kid only knew one way to shower.

Upstairs tenant did that recently. Flooded the place good. We had water coming through our ceiling fixtures and could hear it streaming down through the walls. It made it to the basement. Now that we moved out and it’s time to clean the first floor for another rental, we are finding lots of bubbled paint where the flood happened

Fun

Sad that I missed the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds together at the last show of the season in Pensacola.

They had a change of command....holy cow that looks like a lot of medals on those guys especially the new guy on the right

@RoccoF14 is that actually a lot by navy standards? lol

Yep. Guy on the right is a Mater Chief, and he's got at least 24yrs of service (Each gold chevron on his sleeve is 4yrs active service). He's also got his Enlisted Aircrew wings and multiple Air Medals, so he was probably a crewman on helos and has flown multiple combat missions.

I did 10yrs, and I can say with confidence that that Master Chief has probably pissed more saltwater than I sailed on.......Much respect.

The CO (guy on the left) looks like his Legion of Merit is on crooked and about to fall off.....He might have just got that award.

I got more for my Saturn in trade than I was expecting. I was afraid I'd have to pay somebody to take it

Same for my 13-year-old Honda

That's why we are moving to Maine.

Well....
And the lakefront

I would love to be on a lake.

We looked for several years
It's a private lake
I think the reason we got it is that the listing agent used a wrong comp and listed it very high....I think that kept away a lot of people...
Got it for 47 K under asking

Thanks, I was wondering what the significance of the stripes was. Cool!

Next Monday is Veteran's Day. Wanna thank a Veteran? Get off your asses and vote. If you already have, thank you. You don't need to let me know.

Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. PLEASE do not turn this into a political discussion on who to vote for. Just freakin' vote your conscience.

Apologies to the mods if this crossed the line....

I don't bet, but the horse that came 2nd was my tip. Very nearly got there. The winner was a real roughie that's had a pretty miserable year. Win one big race though, THE big race for Oz, and boom, $4 million headed to its owners and all else counts for nothing. Nice to see a proper outsider salute in a major race now and then.

my wife “misses” the seasons

looking to plan a cold weather vacation, anyone been to jackson hole?

I've been to Jackson, but in summer not in winter. Town itself is pleasant enough. In terms of nearby parks, Yellowstone gets most of the attention, and deservedly so, but Grand Teton NP is closer and IMO is beautiful and amazing in its own right. Probably not a huge amount to do there in winter, apart from skiing, but the views alone should be spectacular on a clear day. Well worth checking out.

Just a friendly reminder. The next 48 hours will be historic one way or another for this election.
We must stay away from any specific comments or debates about it. Aside from let your voice be heard and exercise your right to vote we must leave it at that.
I thank you all in advance for exercising restraint and respecting the no politics rule you all agreed to abide by.
Thanks.

Today is the day. If you haven't already, today is the day to get out and vote for @Gee Wally for President!

I know some of you may have concerns regarding his advanced age, but remember - with age comes experience. Who better to lead this country for the next four years than the man who taught George Washington everything he knew about running a country?

For too many years in politics, the Massachusetts State Bird has been overlooked in favor of other birds like Ike's pet parakeet and that ridiculous bald eagle. Not this time, however. On Day 1, Wally will name the Massachusetts State Bird the official bird of the United States of America.

And if you're elderly, Wally plans on making it a constitutional right to yell "GET OFF MY LAWN" at anyone you deem fit - even your own wife!

So remember, when you go to the polls today, vote the ticket of Gee Wally/SoupNazi for President!

Back in the day, these were given out on planes as a freebie. So cute and handy when flying to a foreign destination...before Google translate.

*Sigh*

Election Day. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

Seriously though- get out and vote. It is a right denied to many people on this earth and a right many Americans have given their lives for in order to protect.

Quite a large field, I can't remember an American horse race with so many entrants. And that finish!!!!

 

[Bruinaura]

Started open enrollment at work today. Let the games begin lol

Voted early, so I don't have to worry about that

Currently at my desk listening to the Carpenters Christmas album. Yes i know it's early November. It's peaceful to listen to.
