So I roll out’a bed at O’dark thirty this morning grab a cup of joe and walk in to the living room. As I set my coffee cup down on the end table, I turn on the table lamp to find this!

Yup! It’s confirmed I’m a motorhead & I'm defiantly single! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif
 
defiantly single

Maybe it's a typo but I like it!

May I have your permission to use the term to describe my marital status?
 
And I figured...."Hmmm a long electrical repair...brew from last night into coffee in the AM!!! And he had to order parts!! His car is clean though... no dirt on the shop-rag!!" /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif
 
Hey did Moss put you up to posting that that picture /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
 
And until I read the narrative, here was me thinking that your son had been at your Newcastle Brown!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

I see nothing wrong with that table-top vignette........It's a sign of an active mind. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
Yeah, but whatcha got in that "camouflaged" black baby bottle? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

Defiantly? Definitely? Uh <shrugs shoulders> But yeah, they both work. Typed that before I'd finished my first cup'a joe.

IMHO "difiantly" is "definately" better.

Bret-

I am totally ashamed of you, lad !!!

One simply does not walk away from a room temperature
bottle of New Castle Brown with ANY remaining liquid in
the bottom and wander off to beddie bye.

The obviously weak American brewed coffee and not so
high quality wire strippers I can forgive.

But the New Castle Brown...................oh my!!

Do thoughts cross your mind of maybe restoring
a 1971 VW bus and drinking Pabst Blue ribbon?

Yer walking a thin edge there bret!! Be careful!!

I can not tell a lie - I have drank a few PBRs in my youth but none shall ever cross my lips.

As for the remaining nectar in the bottle - that was my 3rd beer last night. But I must admit I wavered and actually feel asleep in my big easy chair sometime between 22:00 & 23:00 (10-11PM to all you civilians out there). But in my own defense I was running on barrowed time at that point as I'd been up since about 4:30AM that morning. Anyway woke up about 1AM then went to crawl into bed.

I'll ask your forgiveness?
 
Bret, I can tell that you have not been defiantly single for very long. Take it from one who knows. Yes, you have made great progress in the field of living single as shown by your leaving the tools, car books, and empty beer bottle in plain sight and I am very proud of you for that. That is a huge step in the right direction. But, you are still under the influence of that other sex as evidenced by your use of coasters. Coasters are needless devices. But it looks like someone has put a glass on that end table sans coaster at some time, so there's hope for you.

Now frisbee those coasters out the window!
 
Well Bret,
Ya should've stopped at the passed out in yer
easy chair. That there's a viable excuse for
leavin' a bit of Brown in the bottom.

But the 4:30 AM livin' on borrowed time? Ya dad plumb
blew it there, lad. 4:00 to 4:30 AM AST is normal
rise and shine time; grab yer tarpon gear and head on
down to the red Mako for some San Juan sunrise fishin'.

I kinda have to agree about the coasters thing.
I have no clue where Wendy even keeps her coasters.

Yet ANOTHER tropical wave dumping the sky on me today.

regards
 
Hey, lay off will ya!?!?! I happen to like those coasters! I bought’em after the break up actually when I moved into my new place. Besides they’ve got an American flag on them.

But regardless what you guys say, I find redemption in the fact neither my son or I like doing the dishes, so that despite having a full set of dishes and proper eating utensils – we use paper plates & plastic sporks for everything.

As for getting up early not counting for much. Without sounding like I’m whining – I guess I should’ve added that I had to drive three hours up to Los Angeles to work nine hours before driving another three plus hours home.
 
Have you ever had a glass or bottle stick to the napkin or coaster on which you set it? Sprinkle salt on the napkin/coaster & then set the glass/bottle on the salt & it won't stick! Just something I learned years ago when i was single & hanging out in bars....
 
Yep I remember that one too Tony.

But those big arse coasters of mine are the heavy duty ones and if they ever fell off the table, someone gon'a get hurt or somethings going to get broken. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Here's the real litmus test: Do you wash car parts in the kitchen sink?

you obviously ain't never been around a Marine that brews coffee...

People love it when I brew the coffee at the office. Of course, they don't get the first cup out of the pot before the batch is finished brewing either... it's mah go juice! The other weaklings usually wait till the batch is done brewing and the strength has evenly distributed. The stuff I usually get comes out like motor oil /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

See now I don't have a deep sink at my house (ex-GF's house did) so I have to wash my parts there. In fact right next to that 6 month old bottle of hardly used dishwashing soap I have gojo hand cleaner and a K&N filter cleaner & oil kit. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

And as for my coffee - I make it pretty strong too. In fact I know the exact measurement number of scoops before my fliter overflows.

In fact in my pre-drip coffee years - I wasn't above boiling a pot of water and tossing the coffee grouns right in there. That's called Cowboy Coffee!
 
If yer countin' scoops yer brewing weak American coffee.
Yup Marines brew good coffee, that's a fact.

One pot of water, filter filled 2/3 up with grounds,
the first cup it spits out is the best. No need to measure
nuthin' !

Ask David- he can vouch for my coffee skills!

Toss yer scoop Bret- that a girly thing!!
