GM's thread about nothing (39 Viewers)

[Dan Gladden's Mustache]

I started drinking Friday afternoon and pretty much went straight through last night. About 30 hours all told, minus 90 minutes of sleep. :champ:

You could have done this in Milwaukee, GB

Well yeah, but I got paid for about 14 hours of the drinking. Wouldn't feel right to charge you guys. ;-)

 

[bentley]

Pepper is neither a friend of mine on Facebook nor told me how cool it was to hang out with me at coshole. My feelings are hurt just a little bit.

 

[General Malaise]

So this happened. Mine's the yellow one.

Wait...your house was hit by lightning?

Yeah. It's screwed.

Damn, sorry. What can we do to help?

Yeah, this? Man....

Thunderstorm rolled up on us this morning at our campsite. Never expected it, not in a million years. Was distant, then right on top of us. If breaking down, packing up and deserting a campground were an Olympic Sport, my family would at least get a Bronze in it. That shhhhhhhhhit got real real fast.

Plus side? I prayed to baby jebus for a storm last night so I could watch the World Cup match. WINNINGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sounds real doooooooshy considering a quoted a friend who might have lost his house. Sorry. How can we help?

 

[General Malaise]

Thorn still dead?

I don't think so.Arrived at about 10am. Stryker picked me up and we immediately went to the best bar in Milwaukee. It had Miller Hi Life AND pull tabs. The machine was almost empty but the bartender said there was still a big winner in it. We didn't find it. Handful of beers and a free shot later, we decided to move to Amelia's by the airport because Tre likes to make fun of dead people.

Tre and guster arrived and there was much rejoicing and shooting of whiskey. I ate cheese curds and Tre had a cheesey cheese pizza with extra cheese and cheese.

Started to feel a touch drunk. We moved on to another bar after word that Bob and Aaron were going to be delayed. Things get hazy and it was still light out. Tre and guster arm wrestled.

We checked into hotels and i made the rookie mistake of lying down. Woke up at 2:30 am.

That was me at Mellyhole 3, except sub 2:30am for 3pm about two days later.

 

[strykerpks]

Joe, please let my f bombs slide. I"ll catch up on the thread at some point. I might calll in sick tomorrow.

I'm ####### hammered. On a Sunday. Hiccups at 2pm. GERMANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At any rate, pretty sure I can't meet 6 better people. I would bail anyone of these people out of jail. Like, $100 worth. . Everyone at beehole was the bomb.

Pack > I wish you could have stayed at the tailgate longer.You're a good man!

Tre > I love you Tre!

Thorn > *** k you!! I Never liked you and hope you never win at a casino.

Gusher > I drink. A lot. But when you pulled out like 14 bottles of bourbon......damn. I brought 90 beers and thought that wouldnt be enough. Hey, at least I have like 50 beers to drink

Thorn > *** k you!

Tre > Man, what can I say? No balls. Can't drink. I love you man!

AAAAAAAAAAAron. > Guy kills it. He keeps all of us in line. He drinks good beer. He's a little unassuming but don't let that fool you. The guy is a lot of fun. Would cornhole again. And again. And again.

Bob > Honestly. You and your wife are awesome. I can't say enough. Love you both. I owe you a few bucks.

Thorn > *** k you!!!!

Nice job hosting, gb. You're aces in my book. Also, I'm going to drink some of Gusters room bourbon now...

 

[shuke]

Power out since 11 (it's 1:22 now). No backup sump pump so I'm bailing water out of the sump put with a pitcher into an orange Home Depot 5 gallon pail and carrying it up the stairs, out the front door and pouring it down the driveway.

Power is supposed to resume around 3am. ####.

Sounds fun. How long does it take to fill a 5 gallon bucket?

Also Pretty sure that's why I get along so well with another person that needs constant praise and attention.

 

[shuke]

Holy ####. UH just bought us shots and beers from afar. Even before this he was one of my favorite people. Just really good people.

how did this happen?

"there are 4 yahoos at the bar who look like they haven't seen the sun yet this summer. one of them is bald and probably has 2 or 3 girls sitting on his lap. buy those guys shots. TIA"

I didn't have a sip of alcohol yesterday or last night. That is the first time that has happened, quote literally, in years.

I bet you a box of crap you can't go two weeks.

I don't think it's reasonable to bet, mostly because I don't think I can do it. But I am, however, going to try to avoid drinking for as long as I can. I've been out of control lately ( past 6 months or so, at least) and it's starting to affect those around me sadly.

Booze is a mother ####er to quit, my friend. I've got no comforting words or advice. Do the best you can.

I checked myself into detox last month. This is day 35 of the rest of my sober life. Abe fits the mold for the abnormal drinker like me and so many others who just can't drink like regular people. Sure, we can keep it together for spurts but it always unravels. So far, it might be the smartest decision I've ever made.

That's awesome.

Listening to the frozen cd and going to boomers. Your welcome to join us

Heading to bakersfield now, hoping tb honors me with a beer. Debating going to vegas, but learning toward doing that Monday evening. What's a boomers? What's a frozen cd? Is this kids birthday stuff?

JFC.

No clue you were really headed up here.

In your defense, I'm sure this is what was running through your head when I was stopping by on my way to vegas

[cosjobs]

Made it vegas

Hwy 58 out of bfield is a pretty awesome drive for a while, until you get to the Borax mines

But about 60 miles out of vegas, with the sun setting behind me, driving through the last range was like diving into a Puthuff landscape

Got to Vegas around dark

Drove up the strip a ways and just had all kinds of creepy and unpleasant vibes

Pulled in a parking lot and googled best craps odds in vegas. Found out I had to get smarmy or go to henderson to get 10x odds, so I headed back out of town

Staying at a nice new COmfort Suites across from Sunset Station. Having a couple of vodka/ginger beers and maybe some pain medications to steel myself against the evil craps pit crew.

I like the nicer places, but I like better odds better. Nothing like the thrill of a hot craps table on a long roll, maxed out at full odds.

Any desire to meet up with Brong and me in Manhattan Beach Monday night, around 11ish?

Otherwise, I'm free for lunch on Tue., unless I take the late flight, then I'd be available for some miniature golf and cucumber vodka shots in the afternoon.

My neurofeedback conference in the valley was great.

First day I fly in at 7:30 am, rent a car and drive 90 minutes to the conference and sit all day watching neurotalkingheads.

Eat dinner at the free "concierge Level" thing on the top floor and head out to catch the 10pm premiere of the planet of the apes.

By 11pm I am sweating like Homer in a lineup in front of the Youngstown ISD's special Turpitude task squad . I'm also drifting in and out of consciousness. Peole around me start coughly loudly or accidentally kicking my seat whenever i drift away and it jars me from the explicit nightmares that unfold within seconds of tupor. So I leave there after sixty minutes of getting ready for the 40 minutes worth watching and stagger to my car and careen back to the hotel.

I slept 26 of the next 32 hours and it was 8 hours after that before I was able to fart and only have air come out.

Was woozy saturday, but made it through okay, before meeting an old gf for dinner. Sushi of course.

 

[krista4]

Anniversary dinner was a huge success. As predicted, my Mom cried at the beginning, during each of the first three courses, at dessert, and when I dropped them off after dinner.

By the way, the answer to "which artist does my mom love and I'm forgetting" was Neil Diamond. Neil Diamond. Luckily I thought of it earlier today. No thanks to you, YSR.

My thought as I go to bed is hat cos is winning 5k as we speak

My daughter is officially 8. She is awesome. She had a great bday. Her 2 cousins from HI have been with us the last few days, pretty sure they will need insulin when I give them back. They all had a great time, all "rules" have been off the last 3 days. I love my little girl!!

And I woke up/came to on the living room floor at 2am, so I had a little fun too. at least the cops didn't come this year.

Power out since 11 (it's 1:22 now). No backup sump pump so I'm bailing water out of the sump put with a pitcher into an orange Home Depot 5 gallon pail and carrying it up the stairs, out the front door and pouring it down the driveway.

Power is supposed to resume around 3am. ####.

Sounds fun. How long does it take to fill a 5 gallon bucket?

UPDATE: I averaged a bucket every 5 minutes. Each bucket was probably 4.5 gallons. I was bailing water from 11-3am. So (12 buckets/hour x 4.5gallons) x 4 hours = 216 gallons of water. Which after I did the math (did you know there's 7.5 gallons in a cubic foot?) on a 1,200 sq ft basement, it would have only been like 1/4 inch of water across the unfinished basement floor. But that still would have been enough to ruin a decent amount of stuff we don't want ruined.

Why the #### don't you have a battery backup with that much water? Was it raining or is that normal?

It was raining. Hard. We have a backup but wasn't hooked up to a battery (long story, but one of those projects you start and forget to finish).
