Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Five

[bigbells]

I used to visit Vegas regulary back in the early 80's - I must have been on the same diet plan. I came out a head a few times, but at least I had the foresight to always set a limit for losing and always stuck to it - I was there to enjoy myself - not trying to get poor or rich for that matter... I had no limit on the few nights that I cam out as a winner, but there always seemed a point that I did not want to push my luck and would head out the door to keep what I had won in tact...

No fun to go to the casino with you, unless you just keep breaking even the whole time. 35 years ago I went to Atlantic City with a friend who made me promise before we went in that I'd drag her away from the table if she got up by $50. Well, she got managed to win $50, but she was havin' none of being dragged away. She stayed until she'd lost that $50 plus the $200 that she brought with her.

Then there's the one that takes you miles down the dirt road where there's a side road just past the cattle guard, you know the one, the one that goes past the cow pond and the drip tank battery? "Well, that's not where you turn".

When my little sister was in junior high, she had a friend who had a horse, and they'd get the friend's parents or my parents to drive them to where the horse was kept so they could go horseback riding. Part of the directions: "Turn left when you see where the cows lying in the left rear corner of the field." The amazing thing was, those were good directions. Those cows were ALWAYS lying in that same spot. (Yes, they were alive.)

The directions to my friend's ranch were to go 9.3 miles past the prison, take a right on the only road there, can't get confused cause there is no left, go all the way to the end of the road, turn left into that driveway, can't get confused cause there is no right, go down the driveway past that house, cross the cattleguard, follow the tracks to the right across the pasture till you see the log house. You can't see it from the road but you can't miss it either.

Now them thar is good directions, seriously!

On the radio/TV they seem to pronounce it Wilkes-Barry.

That's correct to the best of my knowledge. I grew up in NJ, not terribly far from there, and I had a couple HS classmates who went to Wilkes College. I think Gary says it wrong.

Went to my sister's today and picked up her old hutch. She's been using it in the laundry room.
It needs a little tlc...but I have a vaping cabinet now !!

Oh that's going to be so much fun organizing you 'stuff' in that cabinet. We re-purposed an old secretary for vape 'stuff'.

That's bootiful too!

I agree with Gary. Green.

This late afternoon and this evening, the sky is ASTONISHINGLY clear. Out here in the sticks there's not very much light pollution, so I'm accustomed to being able to see the Milky Way overhead, but tonight is something else. I could tell when driving home from the grocery that tonight was going to have exceptionally good viewing. Unfortunately, no quad copter video of the night sky, because the camera won't raise up higher than straight forward horizontal, and I've tried but can't get up to where I'm level with the stars overhead.

And there's the vape table too ... plus another bookshelf with more 'stuff' ... and yet more 'stuff' upstairs in my rolltop desk. Geez ... a couple carton's of cigs didn't take up no space at all.

Yeh, But!

 

[MattB101]

Really? When I click it ... it goes to photobucket and plays a video showing the 'vape timer' running up.

Me too.

What, you can't do a barrel roll with that thing?

Could you hold it & point the camera up & film it? I so miss living away from the lights being able to see the stars at night.
