laying prone in the ICU on a ventilator sucks, hope hes not that bad off. They wheel the dead past my office and the code for body pickup is playing way to often these days.

That hyper-infectious strain from Britain is running rampant here. We're basically not going out in public until we get vaxxed.

My Dad's wife sister is in ICU in Augusta. That whole family got it at Christmas because they were dis-believers and didn't wear masks. Thank goodness my Dad and wife stayed home.

Damn Jar! How many tags you got going? :eek:

yep. we got swamped two weeks after thanksgiving and now after Christmas. People seem to be unable to change a little bit, even if it potentially kills family members. There have been people that are dying of it swear it must be lung cancer or something because covid doesnt exist. :shakes head:

We have some of the strictest restrictions here but still have one of the highest infection rate :icon14:

ssup duudes.

:hello::hello:

Sup man?

;)

Stopped by my grandma's this afternoon after my inspection and had a very nice visit :tup:

TGIF! :happydance:

Makes sense. Nanny state nannies so much that everyone ends up tuning it out. What else could one expect from the state that warns consumers not to eat fish hooks because they contain lead...

:ugh:

Puss’s gotta be sleeping right outside my bedroom door :ugh2:
Bumping it right now, but banjos will follow :wtf2:
Yep, there off :nutswinger:

:hello: Hey Spoiler,
Spoke with my Dad yesterday about the Black Phantom bicycle by Schwinn & he said it was the year 50 or 51, as he was delivering telegrams for Western Union.
He made payments on the bike until it was paid for....$83 & change :eek:
I’m sure that was a pile back then :ugh2:
Also said it was Black & Red w/chrome fenders & leather seat.
Said he installed a speedometer on it & put over 1,000mi. on that bike.
:tiphat:

My favorite bicycle that I remember getting, came from a hardware store in West Columbia....I was around 12-13, and errbody was getting or had 10sp. bikes at that time.
But this one was a 12 Speed :yum:
Frame was a tad bigger & a little fatter tires :tup:
My best friend persuaded his parents & got the same identical one :iagree:
Had some good times riding those bikes :tup:

Wow... delivering telegrams. Haven’t heard of that job for a kid. Most kids back then were delivering papers or selling ice cream bars.

And $83 would probably Be like a $1000 in todays money

Good story

:hello: Gotta Roll Fellas :driving:
Y’all have a Great Day :tiphat:

Good Friday Morning All. 62* for the high today with 0% chance of rain that we need to wash out all the cedar pollen. :bowdown: Well it's Friday and that means Mexican Food for dinner tonight. :yum: Headed to the gym guys so hope you all have a Great Friday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands. :tup:

Good morning friends!:tiphat:TGIF!:tup:

Morning guys! High of 24, low of 85 today with sunny and rain, possible flurries with orange moon hurricane.... at least that's what I think the super hot Mexican weather girl just said. :tiphat: No worries though - looks beautiful outside and so does she!
Enjoy your day!

Well lets see, candy bars were a nickel... multiplied by todays price of $1 and carry the two and the square root of pi minus one apple... should be X amount of todays dollars!

Happy Friday everyone! :hello:

I can taste static.

Good morning everyone :hello:

I had two paper routes starting at 11yrs of age. A small county paper route where I made about $6 a week, then a Detroit News route at about $14 a week. I was the richest kid in the neighborhood :rofl2: Peddled papers until I was able to land a job at a gas station pumping gas.

Worked my entire life until I retired and never received any unemployment benefits.

So ready for the long weekend

Here’s the Z that I saw yesterday that was about to get auctioned

Nice bumpers... :ugh2:

That is a Datsun 280z 1977 or a 1978 model. I would need to see the decklid to see if it was a 5 speed. If so, it would be a 1978.

Though it is nice to buy the right deal, I would rather build something with my kid.
1970GTO 400/4speed on the rotisserie right now. OPGI parts that took 6 weeks to get here arrived yesterday. That was MY christmas present.

Looking to buy a new welder. I was going to get a Hobart 210 ($999) but Tractor Supply has the Hobart 190 for $699. The only difference to me is the 210 will do 3/8" and the 190 will do 5/16". For a $300 difference, I don't know if that extra 1/16" is going to do anything for me. Anybody have any experience with Hobart?

Rusty is your man when it comes to welding.

Morning all! Weekend is just about upon us. Time to change the oil in the Z, and clean the filter.

Someone mentioned that yesterday. I don't even know what holiday it is. I've got enough going on that I will be probably be in the office most of Sun :shakes head:

Can you imagine knowing you threw out millions?
