The Original Old Farts Club

Yo Aladin, I still live around the lakes south west of flint(retired from generous motors at the ripe old age of 48). Got property off RTE41(Trenary but farther into the national forest)Great papa bought the hunt camp in 1941 for a buck an acre so we have a few acre's. Some say they were born in the wrong century, I say I was born on the wrong peninsula! 5x5 and out

By the way, for those keeping score, and I know who you are(that'll bring the paranoia out of the closet) I hired into G.M. at 18, got seniority, Yeah, dumb a** that I am, JOINED the band of brothers(pop's was a tank cammander in wwII) so, really I had no choice in the matter.

Afternoon OFC. Watching the 500. First 400 miles are pretty much boring....the last 100 is a demolition derby. You gotta have a lot of balls to be near the front on the last 5 laps....accident looking for a place to happen.

My SIL found a deal on a ping pong table yesterday....now it is in my basement. I like ping pong (kanip canop) more that 9-ball. Unfortunately you need a partner of equal skill for it to be really fun. I have always loved hand and eye coordination games. He says he is pretty good....ha ha....I'm gonna kick his arise. He is busy working on his house today so the challenge will have to wait.

Up to an astounding 8 above zero out right now. Supposed to get down to minus 8 tonight.

Race alert.....just had a crash up front and took out about half the field. Gonna be a lot less traffic for the rest of the race.....probably take an hour to clean up the mess.

I need to up-pot tomorrow and should mix up some soil today but to fargen cold in the garage....not that it's gonna be any warmer tomorrow.....so I should really do it now......where the fock is spring.....?

This looks like something Walt would try....

Enjoy the evening OFC. I'm going to eat a cookie and smoke pot and hopefully watch the race. First the accident and then pouring rain. Hopefully it'll dry up and get started again soon.

This will be my first year of not watching the 500. No more noosecar for me until they get their shit together. Let me know if Kyle dies in a blinding car crash. I'll buy the beer.

WOW. Just... WOW.

Ernie Pyle wrote about the African campaign, and he described the area by writing:

"Anyone could just stop and say, "This is an airport."

Morning, old farts and gentle hearts. Got snow to push and beer to drink.

Morning OFC. -16here!! Big, you ok? Wind chill in your neck of the woods is -40. That is fricken cold. It was -37 at my cabin a few years ago with no wind. Warmer in the mountains today. Cold stuff is on the plains.

We have no power right now. Its the second time already since 3am. They are doing rolling power outages because the power grid is getting its ass kicked. We broke ever record Texas had since they started recording temps.

Dam Hopper....what is that White stuff. Gonna be lots of crashes today with the driver's in your state not seeing that stuff that often. Be careful of the other guy.
