    How much does it suck to be a liberal? Bill Maher regularly rips on them now.

    Welp, It was not the state championship. Even though the big red header about the game notice said so. It was the quarter finals. That was in small font below the teams.:whip:

    It was a blow out win for the good guys! On to the semis!

    Change, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

    No, not swapping out the wife, conservative or family values...

    I have changed phones...a new phone is nice.

    I am changing jobs, Friday my last day as a consultant as I return to a job at a bank...still a data (nerd), but a new job that let's me build a bit of a legacy and own something...

    A new pair tech(4 way stretch) pants from Costco.

    A few days of vacation.

    Now if a kamikazee turkey gives me the chance when the season opens in a couple weeks...

    Do these eliminate the need for a belt and/or suspenders?

    Asking for a friend. :confused:

    Removing a belt and standing in the scanner with your hands above your head at the airport, the fear is real.

    If you have more waist than belly, and size correctly...otherwise have your friend keep the belt/suspenders

    Early morning coffee next to the beach in Ft. Lauderdale. I would share the afternoon beach pictures with you guys, but the older guys on heart medication might not survive. lol. I have never seen so many thongs in my entire life. Spring Break in Ft. Lauderdale was not on my bucket list, but it has now been checked off. :beer::evilgrin:

    Apparently there were a couple of shootings while we were there. One at a restaurant and one on a bus. Gang bangers are ruining the country. And the libs want us to turn in our guns! I was amazed at how many police were around for Spring Break and will say that I saw very little problems with kids getting out of control. I think all of the issues were with local thugs.

    The amount of wealth there is off the charts. Several of our dinners and bar tabs were nearly twice as much as our first mortgage payment! lol

    Some of the slips for yachts were up to $100,000 per month! That does not include the full time crews on board to keep them clean and ready for the next outing. Playground for billionaires and high-end millionaires for sure. I can now say that I have been there and done that and have no real need to go back. Smaller, quiet places are more my scene.

    Over the years my daughter, her mother and I have talked about her coming and living with me. It never seemed to work out until now. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to have my daughter living under my roof full time again.

    Those guys with the big boats, I feel bad for the daughters. Big old boat and the young thing can not afford a bathing suit that covers much.

    I took the day off to shop locally and get new tires on the pick up. When I was done I figured I would drive over to the farm and deliver the wide mouth mason jars I picked up in the city for the daughter. I get there and the youngest grandson had just woke up. There is nothing better than holding a smiling cooing grandchild, it just makes you feel good.

    Not exactly. I don't have the ass for yoga pants and I have tree trunk thighs.

    The pants are similar to the Eddie Bauer tech pants.

    My son says I am too old to wear joggers as the kids call them.
