This was at 0530. Don't know if it's cleared by now.

Tried something and it ended up being pretty good. Took a packet of Starbuck's Colombian instant coffee, dumped it into an 8 oz carton of chocolate milk, and shook it up. Yummy.

Caffeine and Sugar! Yummy.

Caffeine and Sugar! Yummy.

Turns out it did not dissolve that well and I ended up with a big blob of coffee powder in the bottom. I had about two sips left, so I poked it with my straw and stirred it in. Intense.

And now we know where the dragon gets her snap!

Vertigo. jedi no likes it.

Vertigo. jedi no likes it.

That's the worst. Do you have an ear infection or something, or is it chronic?

 

[mmpsteve]

It's from hauling around that pink rifle that's as big as he is!

[CTC B4Z]

Yes I'm sure that's exactly it

Wanna be ear infection jedi suspects.
Medicine is helping but it does take time. Ugh...

I had vertigo once.

I was working atop 3 stages of steel scaffolding and felt fine. Lunch time came and I climbed down and when m feet hit the floor and I let go, I fell flat on my face.

I crawled over to my cooler and sat down. I waited a while wondering what the heck! Every time I attempted to stand I fell to my right.

I was working out by O'Hare and no way I could drive home. The tile guys were from Griffith and offered to drive me home. I rode with one and the other drove my truck. They got me in my house and I sat for hours.

I didn't feel dizzy at all, but could not stand up. At about 7 that evening it went away and I was OK after that.

normally it's jedi that gets made fun of for reading comprehension.

jedi's parents have a rental.
They rented it to a John and Jane Doe
The Does were there for almost 2 years before they finally left

They left over 8k in damages. 2 broken extior doors, all closet doors removed, water damage in bathroom floor, garage door beyond repair, busted bedroom window, holes in bedroom 2, siding damage, and so much garbage in the backyard that town had cited them twice!

Now jedi and family need to do some repairs and hire out the rest.

My Grandma used to rent, she had a small apartment house in Germany.
She had to evict a guy. He came back that nite drunk and beat her to death with a lamp.
I think I will stay out of that business.

What is it about that section of 65? From there till US 30, there always seems to be a problem.

It's stories like this that have jedi worried regarding this renter/landlord stuff the parents are doing.

Just don't think the small passive income is worth it. Better off dumping the money into some dividend stocks and calling it a day.

Lonehoosier said it best a while ago as he was a truck driver. That is the corridor of death. It's the end of a long drive haul coming from the south into Chicago for transfer of loads.

Drivers get more relaxed knowing they are almost "home" or done with the route.

Like acetone says the closer to retirement the more accident prone you are. Same concept here. They are close to the end of the trip.

So you're saying that you're okay now? Hahaha

ps. I've got that little single stage press at the shop, if you want to stop by sometime and look at it. Let me know when you're coming by though, cuz we've been crazy busy.
