cheezyridr

i was in the grocery store once and there was a lady doing that with the lunchmeat. i kept my mouth shut, but eventually things became to ridiculous and i couldn't deal with it anymore. i said "lady, you're making sandwiches, not life decisions, just pick something already, will ya?" well, the wife was annoyed with me cause i embarrassed her. i reminded her it wasn't nearly as band as the time i called that other lady a cow for refusing to move so i could exit the aisle. ********************************************************************************************* as for donuts, i rarely eat them, and here's why. one sunday morning, i was on my way to see my kids. they asked me if they could have donuts for breakfast, so i bought a dozen, and some chocolate milk. when i got there, i put the donuts on the table, told the oplder one to pick a movie, and went into the kitchen to pour everyone some milk. all of a sudden i hear the younger one say "EEEEWWWWW GOD!!! HEY DAD!!! LOOK!!!" so i get out to the living room and the younger boy holds up his donut for me to look at. above the hole where they put the filling, is a powdered roach baked into the surface. to this day, my adult kids call dunkin donuts "dunkin bugnuts" these days, since the w.e.f. wants us to eat bugs, i guess there would have been an upcharge for it?

THIS^^^ all day long, the stone truth

same

i think i was born with tinitus. i was 12 before i realized not everyone hears the "crickets" that i always have, all the time. ad to it being in a rock band for years and years, and being a sheetmetal worker for almost 40 years, it's a wonder i can hear anything at all anymore

for #1, it's true, i could always say no. for #2, i might could change, but do i want to? ?

very cool! it's been a few years since i've been to an airshow, mostly because my favorite one was closed during covid, and then biden was elected. he lives close to it, so doing the airshow becomes a giant hassle for them. my favorite aircraft is a b-25 known as briefing time. ages ago, i had a friend who was connected. i got a full tour, and a ride in it. for me, there ain't nothin in this world that feels, sounds, or smells like those radials. 14 cylinders of fire breathing dragon!

i have never owned a truck. i don't like them for 2 reasons: 1) if you own one, people want you to haul stuff for them or borrow it. 2) i have a lead foot, and i like to corner. trucks...handle like a truck. i may end up with a small one for my next vehicle because i want to buy a small boat, and no way am i backing a boat down a ramp in a car. i bought a new car ONCE. in 1986, i bought a brand new car. i'll never do that again. i had it 6 months, and the wife got into a crash. the insurance company defaulted on the policy, and it took 8 years to get them into court. by that time, they didn't pay off what they should have, the lawyers ate up more money than i got for the car, the whole thing was a nitemare. i buy old cars, and drive them until they become a pita. they usually last me about 5 years. i pay cash for them. i don't care what it looks like. if it runs good, and is reliable, i'm happy. my current ride is an '08 elantra. i bought it with 117k on the clock. i've had it almost 5 years, it's getting to the point i'll be replacing it within a year. so far, it's never let me down.

that was a very cool read, nice post.

hmmm... well, there's one time i would list, but i'm going to behave and keep that one to myself. instead, i'll say one time when i said something ridiculous, and nature said "hold my beer". me and a buddy get up early and go to this fishin hole, where i always crushed 'em. not that i was some great fisherman, anyone can crush them there, if they make a tiny bit of effort. but we walk up and i point to a plant growing out of the water, behind a submerged log that you can still see part of. i say "see that spot right there? i bet you there's a 2 or 3 lb'er hidin by that log with the plant hangin over it. it'll hit when i drag this spinnerbait over the top of it". i cast to land just past the log. the lure was a few inches off the water, about to land, when a bass leapt out of the water and caught the lure before it ever hit. it was exactly where i said it would be, and it was about 3 lbs. i told my buddy "meh...i could do this all day." hahahaha

ahh, i see now. ? obviously, i have no idea how to say that the right way, my feelin's wouldn't be hurt if you (or anyone) would tell me how i should have said it.

my little sister is family historian. john mcallister schofield was a descendant of my father. my oldest brother looks alot like him. his brother in "invented" the schofield revolver you see in so many westerns. we also had a relative who was stationed at the alamo, but killed himself due to a terminal illness. he wasn't there for all the famous stuff. more recently, there are a couple famous musicians from my mother's side, her side also owned a carriage company that made them for dignitaries and heads of state. one of those is in a museum not far from here. the same folks were very active with the city gov't here, donating land, creating parks, building churches, etc.

if any of you do construction work, i'll give you another good use for chopsticks, the ones they give away at a restaurant. sometimes you're on a site where guys like to hide in the porta john so they can smoke, or just have an excuse not to do anything. if you have to go, and someone is tying it up on a regular basis, what to do? close the hasp on the door, and drop those chopsticks in the loop, then walk away.

i rarely fish bubblegum pink lures. i just don't like them. but there have been a few days where i was absolutely skunked by my buddy, who throws them alot.

when my son was about 5 or 5, i took him camping. we woke up one morning to a summer rain that was going to last all day. we went fishing anyhow. when we got to the pond, there was an old mad sitting under an umbrella drowning some minnows. i asked him if they were bitin. he said he'd been there an hour or so, and not one bite. i walked past a respectable distance, and ficked out my secret weapon, the white double willow. it hit the water, immediate swirl. nice 3 lber. the old man gave me a thumbs up. for the next hour or so, almost every cast, i caught a bass. most were 3-5 lbs. i was letting my son reel them in. at one point, the old guy got annoyed and packed up and left. my son still remembers that day

yes, i do, and yes, i do (mostly deliberately) ? i don't post pics because i rarely take them. big'uns are super rare here, so no point in posting dinks. sometimes they have nice colors, and i might snap a pic for that.

i rarely go in there. there is almost nothing in there that i can't get online, for less. it's just easier to pick out what i want, click the paypal button, and it shows up at my door just like wiley coyote. i like digitaka and tackle warehouse

i can't stand corned beef & cabbage. sake isn't really a st paddy's day thing, so i don't do any drinking either. but i do make irish bread. usually a make a few extra loaves and give them to my neighbors. this year, i didn't make any, because my kids made me some instead. they also gave me a cool plaque to put on my kitchen wall, with my great great grandmother's recipe all done up on some parchment with some clovers on it

i spent 2 hours in a real f 18 sim (1 hour, twice) it was fun, but also exhausting. i used to have a real nice set up in fsx, but i did mostly bush pilot stuff and ga. i tried cfs1 but i was terrible at it. my favorites were the kodiak and the 337. i miss it, but i got tired of fixing issues with payware sceneries, video cards that were not well built. it made me hate newegg

i would set up a trust fund so that my kids would get $1500/week, and my grands would get the same when they turned 21. it would come from investments they couldn't touch. they could pass it on to one of their children. i'd build a house on a piece of ground where i could have a shooting range and a bass pond. maybe take a deer or two every year. the ground would be big enough so that my kids could have their house on it too, as well as grow some food. my house would be relatively small, with an attached recording studio. i would have a japanese bathroom. i would have a pole barn garage with a workshop. my drive way would be paved. i'd have a few toys, but nothing extravagant.

pretty common behavior

i'm going with smart, so i can see what it's like. i figure it this way: pretty will vanish or outlive it's usefulness long before smart does. the benefits of smart will out last the benefits of pretty

when i want a plant to grow REAL good, i use fish emulsion #5. a capful to a gallon of water. don't use too much or you'll burn up your plant, and don't use it to spray from a bottle. poured into the ground, that stuff is pure rock and roll. the plants i was growing wasn't tomatoes, but boy howdy they grew like jack and the beanstalk

it was the only thing that got wet that day, sadly.

i've had a few. when i was a boy, other kids used to call me whitey ford, because i was so pale. when i was a teen, the local cops used to call me rabbit, because they couldn't catch me. for a little while people at work called me nature boy because they thought i looked like rick flair. for a couple years people called me zombo because i drove a hearse. but the name i've had the longest, is cheezyridr. when i bought my first bike, i rode to work one day and the boss said "you looked so cool, pulling into the lot, like easy rider or something" then someone else said no, not EASY rider, CHEEZY rider. everyone laughed and it stuck. a few years later, the internet became a thing. when i signed up for aol, i took the name but someone else was using the conventional spelling, so i dropped the 3rd e. it's been my name since about 1997 or there abouts. most times it gets shortened to just cheezy. every girl i've ever been with was sweetheart, babe, darlin, hun, or sweetpea. my oldest son was an up and coming rapper back in the day, known as st patrick. my other son was called chubs.

in a 75 gal fish tank, in my living room, i caught a 2 lb bass. the wife said "you're not funny". i told her if that was true, she wouldn't feel the need to tell me so. ?
