nfreeman Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Bald Mountain? No -- I'm using "upstate" in the NYC context -- i.e. only about 120 miles north of NYC. Stissing Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Since the thread is still open ... Start back to teaching next Tuesday after a 6 week break (filled with house chores and getting other client work off the docket). Really looking forward to the new crop of students and the challenges some will bring to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Jim Kelly. And: my mom, who is in her 70s and was always a terrible driver, lost her driver's license last year. She took the test last fall and failed, mostly due to anxiety about highway driving -- so she hasn't had a driver's license in a year. She took a bunch of lessons, got her nerves settled and passed her test this morning -- so now she can get herself to the grocery store, the relatives, etc. Fantastic. (And not a disaster for the other drivers -- she doesn't go on the highway, stays in her neighborhood and generally drives pretty slowly and carefully).

biodork Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) I finally finished sanding and repainting my back porch yesterday, which has been in various stages of progress for far too long due to insufficient tools and lack of free time. And it looks pretty good, if I do say so myself! And: It's been a brutal couple of weeks with long work hours and far too little rest, but once I leave work today (hopefully in another 2-3 hours), I am officially on vacation through 9/14. Woohoo!

Derrico Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Was thinking of Stub Hubing some tickets for the game Sunday but some other obligations came up for Sunday morning. I told them I would help as long as he has a bunch of cold beers, couple of large pizzas and the Bills game on starting at noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Neighbors' house behind us has been an eye sore for some time. When we moved in an elderly lady owned the place, but her 50ish yr old son was living with her. I didn't really want to call the building inspector about the condition of the place because I got the impression that she didn't have any money to speak of. this AM I wake to find a crew in her yard tearing out the beat down old privacy fence and tearing out all the weeds/vines that had taken over the yard. Turns out she died over the winter and her son had a heart attack shortly after. He was so big it took 5 guys to carry him out of the house. the house has been vacant since about January. The crew outisde working is a bunch of guys who flip houses. they bought the place and are fixing it up for resale. One less eyesore in the neighborhood. :worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 If I tell them one then I know it'll be closer to 130. Plus it'll give us some time to watch the pregame and have a few brewski's. I picked up some Rickards White yesterday. I think I may give that a go.

Watching any type of pregame is not. I'm not sure when it happened but I blame the boobs on fox, every pregame show has turned into the exact same boring formula. How Deion, Keyshawn, Michael Irvin still have jobs is laughable. The only worse analysts are Marshall Faulk and Emmit Smith. Those guys don't even try.

inkman Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Oh yeah I listen to their drivel to ensure I catch any fantasy news.

biodork Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Huh, somehow we missed a whole week here. I think the Awesome thread has kind of taken this one's place in many regards. Anyhow, I'm excited that today I will be leaving work before 6pm for the first time in over a week (last weekend included), and that I don't have to come in tomorrow. The weather is gorgeous here, the leaves are starting to change, and I have plans this evening to visit a local vineyard/brewery with a friend. F'N fantastic.

PASabreFan Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) The fog just now burned off, revealing some dazzling orange on the hillside that I swear wasn't there last night. What a great time of year. (Edit: the hillside was there last night. Oy.) Edited September 26, 2014 by PASabreFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm out of work early and getting plastered tonight. That hasn't happened in for-ev-er. I'm jealous, I don't see an opportunity to get plastered any time in the near future. Luckily since I have 2-3 drinks a week now, plastered is drinking 3 craft beers in a sitting.

shrader Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 The wife and I are having a little weekend getaway to make up for the fact that we moved on the weekend of our anniversary. It won't be one of those "get plastered" occasions, but it will be a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 So as any die hard Sabres fan would, I have taught my son to say Buffalo (ok he still says Buffff) but points to the symbol everytime. For the first time ever, he now knows to say booo anytime he sees a leaf symbol. Just happened before I left for work this morning as he said buh and pointed to a leaf bear my dad is trying to brainwash him with. F'n Fantastic! Should be a fun Leafs/Sabres game I take him to in Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
