@YankeeVol

I’ll be in Nashville September 9th and 10th since me and mother are seeing the Titans play the Chargers.

Most likely you’ll be able to meet me this year because I’m telling you more than days before I leave.

My 2023 Chicago vacation

I did eat a classic Ice Cream Sundae at Ghiordelli’s.
It has a high amount of sweetness so I’m not surprised I was full after eating it.
The hot fudge does have a strong sweetness much like the frosting on frosted cookies.

I see I made a mistake because the Titans don’t play the Chargers on September 10 since that’s week 1 which is a road game because they’re playing the Saints in the Big Easy.

I got information to ask for these September days off which are September 15-18.

I expect I’ll be able to see you at a downtown Nashville bar on College Football Saturday.

My 2023 Chicago Vacation

First time I’ve seen this Amazon item which is a wide thick black Amazon box which is where a person would pick up the ordered item after ordering it on the black box.

Meg 2 The Trench
8/10

An entertaining great sequel.
The Trench in this movie is 25,000 feet below the Ocean. That area gets explored by Jonas and the other protagonists in advanced submersibles.

The human antagonists have a believable motivation for their main goal.
The movie does have a high amount of entertaining action scenes most of which happen on Fun Island.



How Jonas Killed a Meg Shark has high suspense, and how he attracts a Meg Shark obviously was inspired by Jaws 2.


This sequel does have 1 line which is a reference to the first movie, and with returning protagonists, it's unmistakable this is a direct sequel.

A giant octopus does fight a Meg shark, also Jonas does ride a Jet Ski while using Makeshift Harpoons to kill the Meg Sharks.
Jonas does have a memorable creative 1 liner after defeating a human antagonist.
The 1 liner is similar to "Let off some Steam Bennett." from Commando because it's creative. Also because the 1 liner fit with what was shown in the scene.

The movie repeatedly uses the perfect timing cliche which isn't a flaw because this is a Popcorn movie set in a universe that has Meg Sharks, a giant octopus, and prehistoric marine reptiles.
It's not contrived that a protagonist says he modified bullets for his hand gun to poison-tipped bullets which he got from Jaws 2.
Multiple protagonists are shown to be competent protagonists in action movie scenes which made me very happy.

This sequel does focus on human antagonists that have a believable motivation for their achievable goal, also prehistoric marine reptiles that can run on land, a giant octopus, multiple Meg Sharks including the biggest Meg, and the protagonists exploring the Trench area.

All reasons why this sequel is outside the box instead of being an uncreative sequel that reuses the same style creature feature killer shark story.

This movie does have a high body count including creative for the Meg Sharks that are shown killing human characters.

The third act on Fun Island is a high-stakes battle for survival with the Protagonists having to save bystanders from the giant Octopus and the Meg Sharks, also the Protagonsits and Anatagonsits having to kill the prehistoric marine reptiles, also the Human Antagonists fighting the protagonists.

@TennesseeYankee

I’ll be in Nashville starting Saturday.

The 2 Dogs Restaurant on the Vanderbilt campus might be a great restaurant to watch the Tennessee Florida night game.
I do remember the pizza is pretty good.

Well I’m pretty happy with the Titans 2024 Draft class.
It looks like they’ve decided to stack the Defensive Line which could become a dominant force in the rebuilding era, and possibly the offensive line can return to being good if JC Latham is a reliable Anchor on the offensive line.
The rest of the players could fill in holes including the Tulane WR Jackson if he can be a reliable deep threat.

@firestorm are you a ☹️🤡 because of the Titans ?
Click to expand...

The Titans being a terrible team was frustrating, however less depressing since they saw they had to rebuild after a second consecutive losing season because of a football team with holes.

I’m very happy I got an offer in an email from a professional that can fix the issues that my Fitness website has.
As a result it would improve the search engine visibility, grow this online business, and likely people buy the workouts.
He would be responsible for getting my online business to grow so I would be paying him the fee of 150 dollars a month for his services.

A high bar goal I know I greatly want to achieve is begin making cash online with my fitness website so I can progress forward to being able to get cash that I can buy a 1980 Red Corvette, and achieve finical independence so I won’t have to continue to remain in the finical area living paycheck to paycheck.


If I don’t get those advantages I’m always going to feel sad, and incomplete because I know I don’t want to remain in the living paycheck to paycheck area.


Also, because I know I don’t want to work for over 10 years at Texas Roadhouse or any other job even if higher paying by putting money in a great retirement plan.


While I’m very happy to have diverse coworkers that I enjoy working with at Texas Roadhouse, also it’s a constant physical movement job that I can do so won’t be boring or dull, usually see NBA, MLB, NASCAR, and other sports on the TVs.
The weekly paycheck, and smooth uniform are all reasons why this honorable job in a a Legendary restaurant makes me very happy.

Its actually Malnatis in Chicago

I did eat at this exact Lou Malnati’s when I was in Chicago early august 2023 to see the Cubs play a great Braves team.
Lou Malnati’s is the main competitor of Giordano’s which is a high bar achievement because in Chicago a deep dish pizzeria is a common food business.

My passion project is a buy a 1980 Red Corvette with changes made after the 2023 Corvette Z06 engine is installed so it would be a classic Corvette with excellent modern technology of a Corvette that is equal to a Ferrari car including same impressive sound made by the engine.

The 1980 Red Corvette that is modified with the 2023 Corvette Z06 Engine installed would look on the outside like a Ferrari car, sound like a Ferrari car, and move as impressive as a Ferrari car.
It’s an impressive upgrade of a classic Corvette that would be getting the high bar advantage of modern 2000s Corvette technology.
A 1980 Red Corvette with a Hard Red Top so I’m protected from the Sun exposure.

Shown are 3 images of a 1980 Red Corvette which has the cool futuristic pop up headlights, and looks exotic like a Ferrari.

Also a 1980 Corvette does have the excellent unique pop up headlights which has also been used by the legendary Ferrari F40.

I assume Jerry is very happy because the Thunder are having a great season.

I would be happy to see a 49ers home game with him because the 49ers are an exciting great team in the Purdy era, great stadium, I’ve never visited San Francisco even though currently Levi’s Stadium is in Santa Clara, and the thundering sound when the 49ers score a touchdown is very cool.
