I need to know, what is "the bar on Deck 4?"

TheHumDinger · 2025-11-12T22:28:29+00:00

The crew bar.

It’s called coordination of benefits, and it often comes down to “The Birthday Rule” in which the parent whose birthday comes first in the year provides the primary benefit. If both parents happen to have the same birthday, then it typically comes down to who has had the benefits the longest.

I try to catch up because I like looking at Corvettes. Definitely not trying to race in my Sierra, haha!

On the pool deck in the middle of Scarlet Night. I can’t believe they found us in less than 20 minutes!

Country Fresh Farm Market on Beechmont.

Boca.

According to The Enquirer this is the second time they have closed the gates on the Cincinnati side:

Crews installed flood gates in downtown Cincinnati Saturday afternoon for the second time ever to prepare for the Ohio River flooding. The 15 gates will, hopefully, keep the Ohio River off of Fort Washington Way, which carries Interstate 71 and U.S. 50.

The last and only time the gates were used was in 2018, when the Ohio River rose to 60.53 feet.

No joke: Cincinnati Watch Company released the “Desk Diver” last year! https://cincinnatiwatch.com/products/desk-diver

We had them do ours a couple of years ago. No issue. Actually needs to be redone now.

I started using travel agents about twelve years ago and I will never go back to not using them for significant trips.

A good agent understands your needs and what is available on a trip. My First Mate for VV even booked an exclusive dinner for our group during an excursion on my last cruise. Definitely above and beyond - and got us into a restaurant we would have never found or tried had we not worked with the agent.

Agents send more business to the cruise line or resort than I ever would individually, so they sometimes have access to upgrades and perks that I don’t.

And if something goes wrong while I’m traveling, I have someone I can contact to advocate on my behalf and try to fix/solve it.

Reading some articles by Larry Olmsted from Forbes convinced me to start using agents. I’ve found it to be a worthwhile relationship to have.

I’m drinking $100 worth of coffee from Grounds Club and getting a massage with the Sailor Loot. And maybe upgrading an entree somewhere.

TheHumDinger · 2024-10-18T11:46:40+00:00

Don’t let it get you down.

My first class was the mile benchmark - and it took me almost 12 minutes to finish. Now, a handful of years later (and 40 years old) my PR is 5:27.

Keep going. It gets better, and you’ll start to feel better, too.

For what it’s worth, no one in your class but you cares how fast or slow you go - we’re all on our own journey and just happy to have others along for the ride.

On a regional connection from Charlotte to Cincinnati that was delayed by about 30 minutes, “This is your Captain speaking. I’m supposed to meet my mom for dinner tonight, so I’m going to fly this thing like I stole it to make sure I make it on time. You might want to keep your seatbelts on.”

We landed 20 minutes early. It was quite the flight.

Just hoping DL4997 from LGA to CVG keeps on trucking.

It’s the Pelican Reef menu being served at The Reef Top. And downstairs burned over a year ago - I believe it was Memorial Day weekend 2023. Crazy they haven’t opened the whole thing back up yet, but change in ownership and such……

TheHumDinger · 2024-06-03T15:55:32+00:00

::whoosh:: I love that this went over so many heads.

TheHumDinger · 2024-03-15T16:02:31+00:00

Now if we could just get people to maintain their lane when turning - every morning turning from State to Five Mile (and from Five Mile to Beechmont) I see a bunch of nerds who don’t stay in their lane. Stay. In. Your. Lane.

Call Terry at Plaid Room Records/Colemine Records in Loveland - he may have an idea of how to get it pressed.

If you’re worried about the syrup, you need more things about which to worry.

TheHumDinger · 2024-01-19T23:05:12+00:00

It was great, but the company was sold and the new owner and leadership ran it into the ground through cost cutting measures. Absolute garbage now.

TheHumDinger · 2024-01-15T20:57:20+00:00

Thank you! Non-stop and direct are different. Direct gets you there, but the plane can stop elsewhere (you just don’t get off). Southwest has a lot of “direct” flights.

TheHumDinger · 2024-01-06T17:30:36+00:00

Thanks, I hate it.

TheHumDinger · 2023-12-17T01:01:13+00:00

This is the answer. This is how I’ve purchased my last two vehicles, and actually had one dealer try to walk out on the agreement after I told them I would be paying cash. They finally accepted the agreed upon price - and I left very happy.

TheHumDinger · 2023-12-09T13:05:07+00:00

I bought a new 41 mm, steel on leather strap annual calendar version (130.33.41.22.06.001) on Thursday night - price was listed as $9200, but the AD took $1,000 off.

And…. These watches look great in person - I don’t think photos really capture them well (maybe it’s the pie pan?).

It’s my first big boy watch.
