RC94 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 With so many people talking about their weight during the holidays I decided to take a look at my own weight. I'm 5'10" and about 170 lbs. Clearly I'm dangerously underweight. I decided on a slow, steady gorging process combined with ### horizontalogy. I'm going to focus on the neglected food groups such as the whipped group, the congealed group, and the chocotastic group. I'm also thinking about how to get creative, such as using pop tarts instead of bread for a sandwich or instead of chewing gum, I will chew bacon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis Bob Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) I finished 2nd place in the FBG subscriber contest. Won 4 racks. Missed 1st place and 20 racks by .45 points. I admit I've thought "just one more reception" a couple of times but that's it. Seriously happy and shocked I did as well as I did. Look how dumb my lineup is compared to everyone else, sooooo lucky. Despite being a halfway through his junior year in HS Cal is getting letters from colleges daily. I feel like I'm about to turn 90. Dyl is losing his mind with restrictions in place. He'll be 14 in March and closing in on 6'3. Lack of sports is pissing him off and I don't blame him. It probably doesn't help how many times I've told he and his brother you're only (this age) once. lol I finally got Mrs. SLB a full time job. YUGE saving in medical and she gets paid considerably more. Plus it's doing what she loves an assisting in surgery. My path to retirement looks a little more clear. Honestly, working too much, still trying to save the world, as well as keep the peace in the house. Remember won 4 racks, pretty happy about it.

UOFI_316 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Yesterday we woke up to 2"-3" of wet snow with a topping of ice. Today took the kids to the local sledding hill, and sure enough everyone sledding yesterday packed down the snow and we had a hill of almost pure ice. Wife wanted to stay at the bottom and get some pictures, our first kid to go down took a slight turn half way down and took out my wife's ankle. It was to the point that the other parents on top of the hill all reacted. She spent the next 3 hours in the car. It was a blast watching various kids try to climb the hill, drop their sled and watch it slide down to the bottom, or slip and slide down on their knees. Towards the end a family showed up with a metal saucer (think the National Lampoons) and sure enough that kid was flying down the hill, when the saucer would turn you could see the terror in his eyes. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was uncanny how those things rotated so you could no longer see the one damn enormous tree that is at the bottom of any proper sledding hill. Nothing within a hundred yards to either side and somehow you would rotate backwards and be convinced you were about to plunge into the Ardennes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonfred Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 It all started last night with "I have a quick question" and just ended with the most surreal conversation of my adult life. The quick question was from my dad, hey do you know anything about Netflix? Yeah, I watch it all the time. Just finished watching a show a few minutes ago actually. You should check it out. Oh ok. Which one should I get, the classic or the premium or the... Wait, what are you looking at? Are you getting dvds? I don't know why is netflix dvds? My dad is not technical. At all.

Oh OK on demand there it is. ####. What? Nothing. Click on demand what do you see It says Tokyo and pennyworth. What? Ok thats not what I see. Click menu. I dont see menu Oh for ####s sake. Scroll down then. Ok it says movies and television and by something and a to z. By something? Is that by genre? By what? G E N R E. I dont see it. Ok, what do you see It says movies, television, by gen... G E N R E Ok that's the one see you can look at all the dramas or action movies or those westerns you like What's adult?

No where is that Ok let's get Phyllis on the phone (Phyllis is his third wife. They got married after I married my wife, so I'm not sure what you call her. Stepmother seems weird. So, phyllis). Hi Freddy how are you I'm good can you get your tablet ok Do you remember how to use zoom I think so I can just text you the link Oh I need to use my phone for that ####. I mean Why? Because I can't get texts on my tablet Seems reasonable I text her the zoom link, they figure it out and try to show me the TV, but every time they turn the phone around so the camera faces the television, they turn off the camera. I'm just saying, this is a long conversation. We hang up, I tell them to call Comcast and get the new box, explain what a DVR is... i have a DVR, thats the disks, right? ####....should be all set until they need help with the new box... it was not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the kid's parents did send him off the one side that had trees at the bottom. The kid managed to avoid them on the way down, but they were on a slight uphill slope, and when he slowly came back down he did hit one 😆 The other side of the hill had a good 300 yards with a small hill in the middle. One girl, maybe 7 (no Homer) just laid down in a plastic tobagon, and went all the way to the end into what I assume was a frozen creek bed. A few minutes later she started walking back up to the hill. There was one younger girl who would walk halfway up the hill and just fall into her sled and go back down. Did that about 10 times before she finally made it to top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveDiesel Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Most awesome thing I ever saw sledding was when I was a kid. We used to go sled riding down the terraced hill of the McKinley Monument. You’d hit those terraces and go flying in the air. One day there were a number of people sledding and two kids that didn’t know each other were going down the hill at the same time in plastic toboggans. When they hit the top terrace it bounced the one kid up in the air and he actually landed in the bag of the other kid’s sled and rode down the rest of the way with the other kid. They ended up shutting down the hill because it was just too dangerous between the terraces, the trees at the bottom and the creek shortly after the trees.
