What Cheered You Up Today?

[Lucky13]

Nothing as of yet.....still waiting and hoping!

Short work week this week!!!

 

[BikerBabe]

Being able to help my mom with going shopping for her (blouses), and dad with the laptop that I borrowed him. (How to delete the Documents shortcuts in Windows...the man's 83 and he has just started to learn about how to use the computer...now that's how you stay alive and alert when you get old! )
Btw, my father called me from his cell phone yesterday.
I enjoyed it, we all had a good time, and my parents were happy.

first day off in nine days, wife and daughter out shopping, tottenham won 2-0 "sorry Wayne" and i've spent all day in my trackies reading reviews trying to decide what model kits to buy with my xmas cash !!!!!

 

[Bucksnort101]

Oh yeah, Bossman approved my one day vacation request for later in the week. 3 day work week, four day weekend. Hope to do some Ice Fishing, maybe some rabbit hunting, a little friendly poker game on New Years Eve. And been invited by a acquantance to shoot at his archery clubs Traditional Archery indoor 3D league starting this Sunday evening. Now to decide which bow to shoot, the Longbow of the Recurve, no Compound Bows allowed, don't own one anymore anyway

Went clay pigeon shooting today. Wasn't bad, hit ~50% of them, not bad for a first attempt.

Wondering which thread you might bring that up........

 

[BikerBabe]

Got a badly needed haircut today.
Now I can SEE again! Was seriously contemplating a brand new career as either sheepdog or icelandic pony, but don't need that now.

 

[Wayne Little]

Did the haircut thing today too....much better!

 

[Bucksnort101]

Me too, now I don't even have to comb the mess on the top of my head, just wash and go. Someday it's all just going to get shaven off!!!

 

[BikerBabe]

Having a very nice new year's evening with my buddy Jørn.
Wonderful dinner, good company, and half a horizon view of fireworks a few minutes past midnight.
Me likes. Oh yes, zhe chams...tchapmnagen...drink stuff is good too. *hup*

 

[Matt308]

My son now has his first vehicle. I remember those memories. Good times.

 

[B-17engineer]

Older? What kind >

 

[Vassili Zaitzev]

First car is always a memory, what's he have Matt?

 

[Matt308]

1994 Ford Ranger 4.0L with electronic everything, pipes, new wheels and new tires. Only 75k original.

Grampa gave it to him after about $4k of unnecessary engine teardown replacing EVERYTHING from rings, gaskgets, to timing chain to water pump and brakes. For all practicable purposes, it is brand new.

Now to get the smoke out of it.

 

[B-17engineer]

Congrats to your son Matt.... it's going to be a pain for me when I start driving... *sighs* dad....

 

[Matt308]

A pain for you? Or a pain for your Dad teaching/paying for you?

I have gone out of my way to not be supercritical with my son while driving. But a couple of times while driving at night in neighborhoods he crossed uncontrolled streets (no stop signs either direction) without a hesitation. The passenger side now has a hole through the floor board from my foot doing a Fred Flinstone.

 

[B-17engineer]

Uh oh.

Well, by that time my dad I need my own job to pay for gas, no problem. He'll just be a little more protective when I say I'm going so and so...but, ah what can you do he's just wants me to stay safe can't blame him!
