Open Mic Sunday

by

Open micHere’s your chance to talk about anything you like.  Or you can paste a link to something you found funny somewhere else.

We’re off on a ride to Waverly IL to visit some high school friends we haven’t seen in almost 40 years.

Waverly is just Southwest of Springfield IL.  By car it’s about 2 hours from my house.  On motorcycles it’ll be about 2.5 hours.  We stop every hour or so for a butt break.

  3. Speaking of car keys, do not lose a car key to a newer vehicle. It cost me $125 to replace a spare key to my Dodge Ram. Seems that they have a security chip. I think it is really a ploy for dealers to make more money.

  11. We usually chat with Bitsy in our evening which is her mid morning, if she isn’t busy with the young ‘uns.

  14. Not only that, but I was carrying my Dayrunner with me when I locked them in. It was raining, so I put it under the van to keep it dry while I ran back in for help. Once I got into the van, I thought since I was in I’ll go to lunch.
    When I got back, the job super gave me back a very wet, smashed Dayrunner.
    Dayum. Bad day.

  23. Ok, infi, had to go look at my thermometer for 90 as we are in C. That’s over 32C. We had 31 here on thurs. last week and it was so stifling hot that I couldn’t sleep. Now that’s hot. Not much A/C up here.

  24. infi – Yeah and what a beautiful it is in north Georgia. Let’s go outside and get drunk (if you remembered to get the beer yesterday).

  25. Umm…A small 3 ring binder with calendar pages for each week.
    I’m a subcontractor and use it to schedule my jobs in advance, to keep track of pay, appointments, meetings, addresses & phone #s etc.

  27. Ya DJ, I’m doing laundry too but not for much longer as it’s getting too warm. Dryer vents back into house unless I plug it up again, which I may have to. My house is a wreck from the renovations and I think I might take the day off. I’m tired. Tomorrow will be a go again.

  30. It occurs to me that Jonco could take a day off every ten days or so and let the inmates run this place. Bella and Bitsy do a great job.

  34. Bella – This is the Bible Belt. No alcohol sales on Sunday, unless you are in a place that has something going on, like a restaurant or baseball stadium.

  35. inmates, lol. We call them day planners too DJ, but in your case I can see you running so henceforth the name difference.

  39. It used to be like that up here with no alcohol sales on Sun. until the government got mad coz the bootleggers were making more money than them. Now it’s open house from 9 am to 11pm everyday.

  40. Klaw – With a 50ȼ pen, a $2 calculator, and my $10 pages each year, it is. Cordless, portable, never out of range, can use it on a plane during takeoffs, and running it over wasn’t fatal.

  41. The thing about alcohol on Sunday is officially it is to keep folks from getting drunk. So, we go out to bars and such, get loaded, and drive drunk. The police catch us and we get to pay for our drinking, big time.

  44. Up here, your first D.U.I. is: 18 months – no license, plus lawyer and court cost,
    $1000 fine, $1500 course for drunk driving before you can get license bach, and as of Feb. 1 you have to pay to install the breathalyzer thingy in your vehicle for 2 yrs. and then pay to get it uninstalled when completed. Not too bright to drink or get caught here now.

  46. Richard, I learned my lesson 4 years ago. $3,200.00, moral of the story….keep your truck out of the neighbouuuurs yard.

  47. Bella – The law here is not that bad, but it probably ought to be. Way too many drunks out there on their second, third or fourth tickets.

  50. Lots of room for a big ass bbq here, we just stay on the property and hire a D.D. for beer runs. 🙂
