Did it permanently damage any reno? You mentioned the flooring.

Yeah, they had to pull up about a 1/4 of the new hardwood they just put down

Could've been worse, I guess.

@hog88 will find a way to blame Texas.

I bet the valve was made in Texas.

Everything is going to plan according to the reports from our planted contractor.

Unplanned bonus!

Seems appropriate





Happy birthday

Happy birthday you grumpy, old codger.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Yeah they’re going to make it like it never happened. LOL

Happy Birthday. That's their motto. If that doesn't happen then you must bring a lawsuit. Get LG to do the job.

As a 70 year old myself, a couple of things come to mind.

1) If the man was younger he wouldn't have lost his balance with a shove of that force.
2) If he was going to screw around with the police, he should have been smart enough to wear the helmet in his hand.

It was a perfect storm, and looks pitiful.

As a 65 yr old I have noticed loss of balance myself in the last few months. It’s the main reason I stopped riding a motorcycle, just doesn’t feel right anymore.

Get one of those 3 wheeled things, unless you don't want to turn in your man card.

I do have one 3-wheeler. My Crown electric forklift.

I watched a guy try to make a right hand turn in a Can-Am Spyder at speed and I thought he was going to kill himself. No thanks.

Yep, same reason here. Gravity and I have had a questionable relationship for the past 20 years, but each year that passes trends more towards gravity winning those encounters.

Can we warm the milk before we mix in the Ovaltine?

P.S. I would love to be around when you get old to get your thoughts at that time.

Of course. I’ll even set out the fig newtons and Werthers.

I'm not sure if I ever had it, but I did mix Nestle's chocolate powder with milk when I was young.

I, too, will be drinking rich chocolate ovaltine and yelling at kids in my yard. The cycle will always continue.

Make sure the Werther's are the originals. Those are my favorites. I refuse to eat a Fig Newton. I tasted one about 60 years ago.

I have some Ovaltine in my pantry as we speak, I love the stuff, it's better than the soy powder muscle milk crap they drink now days.

I guess they’re right, senior citizens, though slow and dangerous behind the wheel, do still serve a purpose.
