Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

I'm with you on all this. Sometimes breakfast is at 1:00 in the afternoon, sometimes it's at 3 AM (less often now than when I was in my 20's) but I have always appreciated good breakfast food. Now I am thinking I might need to head down to the all-day breakfast joint near here for a decent eggs Benedict- once I finish this coffee, of course.

The saying goes, eat link a king or queen at breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper for supper. On diets, this works well in terms of calorie distribution, as opposed to a large meal late in the day that doesn't get burnt off.

What happened to the eat like a hungry person in the middle of the night (peanut butter and jelly sandwich at 2am)?

Home from a road trip to MO. We went to see Pop and take him to his last two cancer treatments. All done!! The cancer has responded well to the treatment and he is doing exceptionally well. Side effect will linger for a while but every day is a little better than the last. He has a follow up in about a month. Mrs GT is staying with him for a while So glad this stuff is done! :hyper::thumbsup:

I stopped in Memphis to see one my "Chicago" band mates from school. We reconnected a few years ago on email but I hadn't seen him since about '76. Good visit, talked about the band. He played alto sax. No, we're not getting the band back together - lol. Drove down to south central AR and spend a couple of days with another band mate. I've known him since we were about 14 yrs old. He played guitar in the band. I worked on one of his Ampeg GV22s to install a grounded power cord. No smoke or sparks or anything! It was a little scary when I removed the fuse. It had a 25A 32v automotive fuse that's probably been there since he bought the amp some years ago. Yikes. Glad I noticed that BEFORE powering up after the changes!

He gave me a late '70s Pioneer SX535 receiver that his dad bought new. It looks brand new. I told him the SX receivers of that vintage are desirable and have value. He said he won't do anything with it. I said again they are desirable and have value. He said take it. OKAY!
 
PS- Any one have the Cliff notes version of the past week's activity? I ain't going back to read the drivel you guys posted in my absence. :laugh:

Cliff's notes: none of here are getting any younger

I've twice bought corn and found something growing inside a cob. The next week the seller explained that it's a mushroom, it can occur with wet growing conditions. Apparently restaurants find these mushrooms desirable, they normally hold these cobs back for them. It's like a truffle.

That's their story anyway. I didn't eat them.

Give it back and ask them to take a bite!
