Yeah business has been a bit strange lately, and we are proceeding with an expansion and borrowing bucks to do it. Should set up for an interesting new year. Hoping to finish up a month's work in the next week so I can be around when the kids are off school.

Anyone have a pogo stick? The 9 yr old asked for one for Christmas, and I want to be able to use it too. We used to have an old spring pogo stick when I was growing up. The new technology / air springs looks really interesting. Anyway, point me to whatever works well.

Toys R us, last time I was there, they had a wide variety of Pogo sticks.
You may want to call ahead to the local hospital, let them know you will be headed their way, lol

As long as I'm here, May I order a double shot of Crown Royal, and a round for the house. To help out with the expansion, I would like to donate my 4 million in useless coins. I'm almost positive I won't need them.

Hulk nog: I'll bring you the bill. (*hiccup*)

Luna: That's what you get for riding your Harley in the rain.

Jacob: No. Good?

Quite a mess today. The "hugest storm" was a bit of a let down. Our creek swelled a bit, but it wasn't a big deal. Freeways were puddled, lots of accidents. The surf is gigantic.

Actually, Yamaha FZ6! I like street bikes more than the Harley's... and some people take exception to that, but oh well. :side:

Yeah... they really hyped up that "storm", huh? Then again, the folks up north got it a lot worse than we did. The storm has already killed some unfortunate people, in fact; I passed a pretty bad accident on the I-5 on the way home. A semi and a Toyota Tundra had some kind of collision. If you know Tundras, you know how (obnoxiously) huge they are, but this thing was totaled. It was rolled over in the depressed medium between the two lanes.

Was pretty bad. Hope the driver was okay.

That'll get you places in a hurry. Careful out there, still lots of people driving oddly even though the roads are mostly dry today. Maybe they are frazzled by the unexpected sighting of clouds in the sky.

My wife was out the house early this morning and saw a police car enter the freeway but jump the concrete divider before getting past the end of it. Sparks, headlights swerving. Strange stuff. I told her she should have pulled him over for erratic driving.

I had the absolute WORST hot toddy last night. Obviously not at the Jolly Roger. If I wanted hot whisky, I'd ask for hot whisky. This thing was lacking the rest of the... toddy. I'll take a mug of cider and a cinnamon stick please.

Merry Christmas!

Manfred

Haven't dropped by here for a while now. How's everyone?

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and I also hope that the waistlines haven't grown much; we still have New Year celebrations coming in in a few days :p

Sorry I'm a bit late with the Christmas bonuses. Manfred, I can't thank you enough for all you have done around here with this being one of my more turbulent years... You know the backstory. I'm not going to be sad to see 2014 go.

Horrible, I thank you for all of the input and food porn that you have brought to this thread. You're further proof that I should be in personnel or something in real life, as I do have a knack for finding the very best people. Again... Thanks

Luna, what can I say. You will always have a place here. I wish you safety and good luck on the journey you are about to embark on. If for some reason things go awry, call us and we'll send the JR Trixie to pick you up, no matter where you are. I will also say that no matter what, you always have a home in this humble place.

Ok... Without further ado, everybody dig in!

It is snowing here in SoCal!! What is going on?!

I need something warm :blink:

Right! I guess the oreo milkshakes aren't appropriate, except for our friends standing upside down on the other hemisphere. Marshmallows and hot cocoa.

It was 37F when I left my house this morning. Warmer at the coast, 41F. It's snowing in east county!

This is not right. But no worries, we'll be back to sunshine by the weekend.
