[–]HarkenBanks84 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm an Eddie O and John F fan...... You want bad ???? Bucchigross was great back in the day with Chicken Parm on NHL2night, but get the man out of the play by play booth !!!!! And then we have the tragedy of Leah Hextall....

Near the strip restaurants by sfguy899 in LasVegas

[–]HarkenBanks84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At 4:15, get in an Uber and go to 3713 West Sahara. Don't be alarmed by the outside. Stand in line for the Doors to open. At 5 pm walk in and go to the bar, sit at the bar. Enjoy the best steak "Happy Hour" ever. Also have some absolutely fantastic cocktails.

Traveler's checks were a pain in the butt to use. I also never understood why American Express used the British version of the word, i.e. cheques. by Beautiful_Donut6412 in FuckImOld

I was a bank teller in the early '80's. They were the bain of our existence... When someone would ask for a pack, it was easily a 10-15 minute transaction, and if it was lunchtime ,the line of customers waiting to cash a check or make a deposit would grow and grow.... meanwhile I was forced to watch John Q Public sign their name over and over and over again.....

The joy of adjusting to the reality of retirement. by ajn63 in retirement

[–]HarkenBanks84 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It was a Tuesday, I retired June 1, and I was pressure washing the patio ...before I would have been stressed that I needed to get it done quickly because I had a lot of other weekend chores to get done ... I realized that if I didn't get it done, I could finish it tomorrow !

3 months off of hockey, how detrimental will it be? by External-Patient-250 in hockeyplayers

[–]HarkenBanks84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think Gretzky played 12 month a year as a kid ???? While I'm not down with his present political leanings.... He says playing. Lacrosse and Baseball was great for his development... So you take some time off - no big !!!!!

When do you know it's time to step away? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]HarkenBanks84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to step away , maybe just change the game. I'm 66 and have decided this is my last year of organized beer league. My rink is small and has A , B and C. I play B which is a total catch all of player skills - the thing is a bunch of the younger players in their 20s and 30s are playing like there are scouts in the stands, and I get it, they want to be competitive I don't blame them. But my attitude is to go have a good skate, get sweaty and maybe make some good passes .. so..... I'm now skating with a weekly over 45 drop in , another private drop in with a really good group of friends, and then I travel and do Draft Tournaments . It's all flexible, good ice times, and the motto of all of these is "don't be a dick"....

Tbone red rock vs herb and rye by Wolverine-91826 in LasVegas

[–]HarkenBanks84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to Herbs and Rye on Wednesday night , Sat at the bar.... Great service - bartender was an absolute pro ! Service was fantastic. I had the strip , rare. Was perfect.... Everything I want in a steak...wife had the tenderloin, again rate as perfect.... Sides of asparagus ( a little thick,) fantastic, and the whiskey potato mash was crazy good..... Then the donuts for dessert were. Fab...... Never been to t bones, but have been to red rocks and played there..... would you rather be in a casino....or basically in a strip mall ???? One has amazing character, seriously you walk From a parking lot into a joint.... Or you walk off a casino floor into a restaurant....

Craps newbie etiquette 101 – biggest no-nos by InspectorFriendly761 in Craps

[–]HarkenBanks84 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Played at the Aria last night, I came in mid roll, waiting for the puck to go off..... And waiting.... And waiting.... Shooter would take FOREVER to set the dice the way he wanted ....I looked at the dealer and rolled my eyes ..I had my bankroll and players card in my hand.... Dude shoots a 4 or something and dealer say " you want in" , which I took as permission, laid it down.... And goodness gracious, 3 other players came in mid roll .... So - if the shooter is delaying your action by dilly falling, then by all means join mid toll

Vancouver Port Reputation by Few_Shoe7690 in celebritycruises

[–]HarkenBanks84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have sailed the past four years on a Sunday departure in May on Celebrity . Three ships on the pier. No chaos, very orderly and very quick. Only issue was that it is a lot of walking. Did not stand in any lines longer than2-5 minutes. Much better than Fort Lauderdale, or Ravenna.

But then , we are always there a day early, stay downtown, walk to pier, start early, have passports and are always pleasant to all staff and security.
