Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[Haroldo]

I was on an elevator, all alone. It stopped and someone got on. From what I gathered of their phone conversation, they were a social worker visiting covid patients. Captive in a small box with someone who visits infected people. Their nitrile gloves looked filthy. Made me wonder how closely they are following SOP.

Just what i needed.

Fingers crossed. (Damn, that's moronic, selfish behavio(u)r)

I thought Labor Day was next weekend...now I have to recount other things besides fingers and toes .

(It is.)

 

[SoulReflection]

(It is.)

(Thanks.) (we have to whisper so not to upset Will.)

The lady with a 10 am appointment with me showed up ten minutes early. She texted me and I replied I was five minutes distant. She rang me seven minutes later to ask if I'd forgotten our appointment. When we met her smrtphn showed a record of her text and no reply from me. My smrtphn showed a record of both her text and my two replies.

At the moment our follow-up text exchanges appear to be in near-real time.

It's a testament to my oldness, grumpyness, and fartyness (and to be honest, my klutziness) that I don't (cannot) use the texting.

ATTENTION all GOF's! I'm going crazy! Labor Day is NEXT WEEKEND, not THIS WEEKEND! They're coming to take me away, ha ha! I don't care! We're still going to have our baby back ribs!

You made me spit some coffee!

Is this a math quiz?

Peter Gabriel did very well for himself as a businessman. He knows how to sell england by the £.

He was a major shareholder in Solid State Logic located in Oxfordshire, England. They are recording console manufacturer. When SSL was sold, he took shares and remains active in the new, much larger company.

Solid State Logic | Leading the way in Sound - Solid State Logic


He also build Real World Studios in Bath, a major recording facility and label.

Real World Studios

Then there is his music empire, touring, WOMAD festival organizer...

Good for him.

He has a talent. He used it well. He made loads of cash and invested it wisely.

Now Peter, if you're reading this and would like a prospectus for Phase 4 of my Antarctic ostrich farm investment opportunity...

Are Antartic Ostriches good for metal?

My day started well indeed. My boss asked me if I had tried Remote Support from home and I said no. He said 'try it out soon.' So I'm home today doing application installs via remote application. It's working well! Sitting in my slippers with Carey while she watches The View (ugh) and I'm doing my work remotely! To make it even better, Carey got me a nice marbled bone-in ribeye for tonight (payday ribeye Friday) and she's having clam strips and jo-jo's. I'm sorry but I haven't found something to be grumpy about yet GOF's!

The "View" makes me grumpy.

I'm re-watching Inspector Morse (or Morose - take your pick), having dropped a bloody great lump of granite on my big toe this morning.

So grumpy old fart laid up on the couch with a toe rapidly turning into a plum watching a grumpy old fart on TV...

I read on the interweb that frozen arctic ostrich eggs are stored on brass monkeys in order to keep the temperature just right.

At least the granite wasn't for your gravestone.
