Quick question. Who does the laundry in the house?

pbj · « **Reply #442 on:** December 03, 2019, 10:37:22 am »

We were married precisely 1 week before we decided everyone would be happier doing their own laundry.

We are also a "lid down" household.

My Happ gun shells showed up over the weekend. I also won an untested Police Trainer board off eBay for hella cheap... let’s see what can be done...

Noice!

I never have understood that one. Women say we are dumb for forgetting to put the seat down yet they are so stupid that they try to sit on something without looking at it first. I leave the seat however the hell I want and I don't get mad if someone moves it into another position when they go to the bathroom. You know... like a rational human being would.

In-N-Out opened up near me in Houston.

Pretty good!

Judging by the picture I’d say he figured out the secret handshake.

Yeah, people in Houston have been vibrating for months about this place opening. No secrets around here. We drove out there for Black Friday and it was at least 200 cars in line.

About 40 ahead of us in line tonight, still lots of police directing traffic. 30 minutes, not too bad.

I think Braums is still the best drive through burger you can get right now, but this place was good. Probably knocked Sonic out of our rotation. Whataburger is yankee owned now so meh.

Company is privately owned by a 37 year old woman. Grandpa died and left it to dad and dad died in like his 60’s left it all to the daughter. According to Bloomberg she’s worth a $1billion. Some people hit the lottery.

Through many years and generations of building a business that provides something a lot of people consider worth buying.

I was in Houston yesterday - flew there in a private jet, which was really cool. Had dinner at Pappas Bros. It might be my new favorite steakhouse. I wanted to hit up Vic & Anthony's but it was an Uber ride away and the people I was with wanted to walk. Pretty good "work" day if you ask me...

Works for Hess confirmed.

Are they based in Houston? I was just there for a quick meeting - one night only so didn't have much time to explore. Seemed like a nice little city...

pbj · « **Reply #454 on:** December 13, 2019, 07:08:33 pm »

Yes, New Jersey and Houston last I heard. Oh well, say hello next time

pbj · « **Reply #455 on:** December 13, 2019, 07:26:09 pm »

Also - rented a bounce castle. This has been one of the best decisions in my life.

pbj · « **Reply #456 on:** December 15, 2019, 04:08:28 pm »

A few party pics. Probably around 50 people came and went.

javeryh · « **Reply #457 on:** December 16, 2019, 09:13:56 am »

Nice - looks like fun.

So yesterday I took my son to our annual Giants game and they actually won. We had 5th row seats on the 20 yard line - one of the benefits of them being terrible is cheap tix. Eli's last home game too. We had a nice tailgate - food, throwing the football around and playing some cornhole. Great day.

Looks like a great party PBJ.

Chuff worthy? I don't know.... I guess it is to me!

Found a compressor on the side of the road that said "Free, but pops circuits". It was a nice looking compressor and the price was right so I stopped and picked it up. Fiddled around with it and the problem is it has a leaky regulator. It's a $30 fix, but I decided to throw it on Craigslist as-is for $40. It sold this morning. I had about an hour into it and now I have $40 to throw into the new fish tank project guilt free. Total time investment was less than 20 minutes.

Not sure why I'm so happy with this $40, but it's nice when things work out.

Got the Area 51 out of storage, swapped out the hard drive for the Compact Flash multi kit, and replaced the burned out marquee bulb. It all works great!

Found a manual, a spare gun, and a bunch of tokens in the bottom of the cab!

The Chinese are committed to their hoax of global warming and it's 75 degrees here, so I'm apparently smoking brisket for Christmas...

Actually had a qualified candidate apply for my job opening....

No fistfights with the family during our gathering....

Shiny Xbox One I bought myself sitting under the tree....

The Christmas forecast for Cabin Creek is around 70 at the warmest and 63 at the coldest. That's West Virginia folks, not Texas. I plan to wash the cars and maybe wash down the house for xmas….. time to break out those Christmas jorts!

Does that mean you’re heavily panting as you book your visit? Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
