Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

another quandary of mine...

Starbucks.

who has starbucks money? NOBODY.

yet, all the knuckleheads form a line to give up their cash for a diabeetuz inducing sugar bomb.


clown world.

 

waaay...back in early 2020, We had open discussion at our annual meeting.

I said - this admin will crash this economy and stoke the flames of racism....all the while telling you EVERYTHING is fine.

and that is exactly what is happening.

One of our board members, who is way more worldly (and educated) than me, gave a fascinatingly detailed dissertation on my comments. shocking.

all of it came true. that's not exceptional...it's the actual verbalization of common sense. quite the lost art.


I reckon about half of us can see it for what it is....the other half believe whatever their phone tells them.

I feel no compassion for the fickle young folks that will get the rug yanked out from under them when they enter the job market.

 

I am jelly.

 

.... or maybe the internet search engine gods are sending you guys the same 'go to places' on the internet based on your your interactions here

 

you sure that's not kryptonite????

 

ehhh... it's all good; just gotta stick to the budget a little more and can't work a little OT here and there for extra $$$ to spend on toys

 

The best thing about Outback is those damn peach slushy cocktail drinks that come out of a slushy maker... Definitely a panty dropper

 

I'm pretty sure you did that backwards

 

Or, worse yet, is dropping down on a seat and landing on your sack

 

wow... I remember seeing some of your posts in the Home Improvement threads; freakin' crazy....

A dude I worked w/for a couple of decades just dropped dead from heart attack at 52 this week (about 1.5 years into his retirement)....

Glad you're still with us

 

Yes....

This will be another 2008-2010 shit show, but on a much larger scale; folks should keep an eye out on who scoops up all the foreclosed properties in mass quantities and then follow it back to who was sitting on the executive boards of the banks and other large corporations that have been and continue to be 'successful'... More folks will be in poverty, the rich will continue to build wealth and those of us in the middle continue to slide closer to being 'poor'; and not just financially we need to look at people's entire quality of life in making that assessment.

 

what's it now?? We don't have one near, but....

 

Probably the same folks eating at five dudes @T-Rex266

 

$17 and the meat quality is sub-par now.

 

in & out burger is still $9 for a meal.

5 guys is $25

I do this research for y'all willingly.

 

Crazy. This must be a regional thing. Were at $10 for chicken, carnitas and $12 for steak and Barbacoa. Agree that the quality has gone down though.

 

i got the carne asada bowl with queso & double meat.....like i always do.

I laughed at the price at checkout.

I told the wife this was fine dining.

 

Yikes.... that is ridiculous!!!

 

Girls wanted Wendy's the other day so I took them.

$31 for 2 meals. Chicken sandwiches, regular size. Price of food is what's driving the divide between have and have nots thats for sure. And not just in restaurants.

 

whenever we have our bullshit sessions here in the mornings...this always comes up.

how much longer will the common man put up with having no disposable cash?

at what point does the public sentiment pop?

it's coming.

I reckon once credit cards lock up (soon)...let's say around October of this year(hint hint)...credit card debt will be forgiven(like student debt)

 

Well alrighty then.... I'll take a SC, some gears w/rear locker, an Xtra Gen 2.5 Pro (you know just for the bed stamp), a small 26' off shore fishing boat, and a private jet (not a boeing BTW )

 

seriously...that group buy on the stainless exhaust is looking nice.

 

Went to a local family owned Mexican restaurant. Not a big place. Very nice people. Two combo plates with sodas + tip was $36. Worth it though. I want them to stay open.

 

Question for the hive...

I'm about to get in trouble - because I know me.

I am about to learn how to pull the boat out of the water and onto the trailer*.
The lake has recently been rising due to flooding and I need to be able to move it instead of worrying about how high the water will get.

the question

what's the general max tongue weight on a stock 2020 1794?

and don't worry about total weight - because I will be over limit. ~8800lbs with trailer.

and don't get all technical - ball park it for me.

I don't mind a little squat. I just don't want to break anything.


because I reckon the boat will put about 650-750 tongue load on the truck.

I just need to haul the damn thing about a mile to the house.




* and this is not the time to give me shit about not EVER having done this. answer the question first....then give me shit.

 

I will make it work. Wear the underwear on my head and the sweatshirts like pants. Will start a tic toc revolution.

 

Thanks, good to be above ground still. I was kinda lucky as I was noticing going uphills and working giving my ticker some problems. What really set off alarms was my low heart rate, as the my watch was reporting my heart rate was below 40 for 10 minutes. I started to get the warning more often vs 6 months apart. I’m doing good, today is my 4 weeks with the pacemaker and I think my heart is doing better, as the walks up the hills are easier. On the weekend my generation 6 iwatch quit working, I went out and bought a new one one Monday as I figured it save my ass. I never had any pain, stroke or attack but was probably close to having an incident of some sort. I had a heart monitor that was to go 30 days, 5 days into the study the cardiologist called and was talking pacemaker. Kinda gives a new outlook on life. Sorry to hear about your co worker at 52. I made it to 73 and hope to be around for awhile longer.
