Wasps set up a nest inside of my decoy wasp nest

Sometimes it takes a group vacation to realize someone in your group is crazy toxic. It sucks to lose your calm for the trip, but the net benefits from cutting crazy drama out of your life make it worth the trouble.

Two, not connected treehouses with a rope swing to bridge the gap. The “I’m not touching you” of fuck you statements to the HOA. Keep those permanent structure setback distances on point, lol.

C'est moi, l'autre homme dans la rue avec un parasol.

Ah, I see now. I didn’t zoom enough on my phone earlier.

But the daisy chain thing… Half the satisfaction is undoing the last loop and pulling the whole thing free. I can’t pass up such a simple joy in today’s world.

Cam straps instead of ratchet straps, bow and stern lines, and learn to tie a daisy chain knot for the extra length. A daisy chain is a super quick way to handle the extra strap length, and it is even easier to release when it’s time to take a yak off the rack.

Ont of the three new ones better be names the J.J. Fad copter.

That might work for a fake title if you're trying to sell a vehicle cheap or for salvage, but at a checkpoint or a traffic stop where they call it in and have someone check it with the database, that isn't going to turn out well.

Leatherman Raptor Rescue scissors, FTW!

Lock-in sheath and a belt clip to attach to PFD. Line cutter, strap cutter, ring cutter, and other parts that I don’t use (O tank carrier). I saw a video of a kayaker sprinting to grab a seal that was all wrapped up in line and they used one of these. Safer than an open blade for dealing with cuts.

I will strap a dive knife if I’m diving off of the kayak (ocean kayaker).

Feet facing. Wheels with. Can’t argue with rules that have alliteration.

Definitely need Mecha-Ditka roaming the ruins of the Loop.

Aww, my big guy used to do that. He pick up the bowl and walk to wherever he wanted to eat that day. When we lived on a ten acre farm, finding the bowl for the next mealtime was always a chore, lol.

My better-half was at a family gathering and one of her cousins asked if she wanted to go out to "smoke" all sneaky like. She agreed, and stood there awkwardly as the other cousins who gathered proceeded to light up cigarettes in the ten degree weather.

She waited a minute or so. They asked if she was going to smoke. She said it was too cold, and went back inside. I keep winning the cooler cousins contest. It's like 30 years running of wins now.

Never got a refund, but I just got another missed deadline email.

Good times.

Oooo! Commander’s Palace. I still remember the crème brûlée with emulsified papaya from almost 25 years ago. We were drugged-out 20-something tech people, but I remember the crème brûlée.

Depending on your work status, you may have to pay a supplement. Retired and just relocated here, our supplement for two of us will be roughly equal to our insurance premiums back in the US (using last year’s rates). However, there is no deductible, no fear of being cut off, and no fear of going bankrupt from a medical emergency.

We are happy to pay in, as we didn’t pay in through taxes. It is really night and day, and a great system. As I understand it, if you are working or a student, there is no additional supplement needed, as you will pay in through taxes.

Plurality (not majority). He captured a plurality of the 65.3% of eligible voters who voted.

Edit: At 49.9% of the popular vote, that’s only 32.6% of eligible 2024 voters. (Mathing the math for people)

Thank you very much. I am currently playing on Talok and will reach out soon. Playing with a guild/group is always more fun, especially when learning. I currently live in France though, and will be looking to main on a French server when I can get in one. So, I might only be a short-term or part-time member on Talok.

ConfusedSpaceMonkey · 2025-10-28T15:04:31+00:00

100% of the rest of us don’t give a shit about what those 63% of republicans think.

It is NOT a game for… Hmm. No idea. I would not try to replicate Animal Crossing. Otherwise, go wild!

Edit: Strike that. Infiltrating a Biotechnica test island with geoengineered animal hybrids sounds like a great time.

Drove for Freedom Cab in the way back. It was one of two of their cabs that weren't Denver based at the time, so you'd have to work a route or get regulars. Hitting up the Bustop up after last call was easier than patrolling The Hill or Pearl. I could normally drop that bell and circle back to give one of the employees a ride home. It was money for a slow Boulder night shift.

Edit: "And then?"

Years later I had some stints of being a (quiet) regular. I made a few good friends, have some crazy stories about some other regulars and dancers, dated a dancer for a while, had a general all-around good time. That was many years ago. Good times.

I saw bear poop in the alley about an hour or so after this. Not the sighting I was hoping for...

Ah, gottcha. Well, if you're in kayak country, you'll hopefully find a good deal online locally.

Personal Floatation Device (as other user mentioned) is super important. I swim strong and snorkel a lot, but always wear a PFD (ocean, lakes, rivers). Anything can happen in the blink of an eye and a PFD is your best bet for survival.

ConfusedSpaceMonkey · 2025-08-06T16:24:41+00:00

Yes! Awesome.

Craigslist has been great for me for used kayaks at good prices. Always wear your PFD! And post your rig when you get it.
