Went to a local brewery last night. The beers I had were decent, if not amazing. The hard cider that my wife had tasted like vinegar and old gym socks.

In reply to Duke :
His stand up was pretty good when I last saw him but that show is horrendous. It's just two awful people being E36 M3ty.

I quite enjoyed the xfinity race, and I am not a fan of Daytona and Talledega.
NASCAR takes up a lot of space in people's heads. No one is forced to watch it yet they're compelled to talk about it. The past few years have been about the best racing out there.
My dad is not doing good again, COPD sucks
King of Queens? Hilarious.
They have gambling money to get rid of so they hire Eddie Money who they don't care for? Funny
Antihero said:Apparently an EKG showed my dad had a heart attack.
How mild of a heart attack is it if you didn't notice it?
A quarter of all heart attacks are "silent"; happens while people sleep, don't cause enough pain to be noticable.
Duke said:Kevin James really just isn't funny.
Corollary rant: DW has been binge watching King Of Queens. By extension, it is also not very funny. Mostly just annoying and cringey.
PW too, and I feel the same, but I'll take it every time over Everybody loves Raymond, which she also watches.
It's just a whole lot of not funny.

Would you rather watch Property Brothers or Love It or List It with my wife?

YT Music had been throwing Weird Al at me. I will admit to mostly being unfamiliar with his work very much past UHF.
I just now "got" the line in Couch Potato where he lamented that King of Queens did not star Richard Simmons
In reply to Datsun310Guy :
I think I would watch property brothers over king of queens most days.
Since I've had to see the commercials all day add Rosanne Barr to the list of people who are funny under absolutely no circumstances. The lack of funny, and that horrific voice have no business near a microphone.

I liked her in My Name Is Earl.
In reply to Wally (Forum Supporter) :
She was funny in her original sitcom 30 years ago. Then no longer funny.
First guy came to look at the goldwing today. It started to start, but not enough for his liking. It would run fine on starting fluid, but it needed some coaxing to come back alive.
I decided to fiddle a little and got it to start and idle, but when you give it any throttle it bogs and dies. Carbs probably gummed up since it last ran at all in 2019 and last ran for long periods of time back in 2015? 2016?
To see if I could get it to clean itself up, I drained out all the old gas, put a couple gallons of fresh(er) gas in, and sprayed a bunch of carb cleaner in there.
Now it won't try to start and if I put starting fluid in there I get the most amazing gunshot-sounding backfires. I'm assuming that the problem is all the carb cleaner that's up in there so I've got the air cleaner off so it can maybe air out a bit.
Couldn't get it to start for the second guy that came up to look at it, although he says he's still interested. Another guy messaged me and said he'd be able to come up and buy it on Tuesday as long as it would idle.
I really didn't want to have to work on this thing.
In reply to wae :
Having spent more hours than I care to admit cleaning/rebuilding/synchronizing gold wing carbs, I can sympathize. Lovely bikes, as long as someone else does the maintenance.
Thinking on it, I'd totally fly and drive an old goldwing from across the country. Too bad I'm not in the market. That'd be a rad solo trip.

I did not know that
In reply to Antihero :
Years ago a guy I know in his mid-40s felt a bit weak and his left arm was tingly for a couple of days. Doctor said he had a heart attack, one of the atrium/ventricles wasn't functioning. In that time he worked out and hung out at the track for some ridealongs. That could have been a silent one.
In reply to eastsideTim :
My Name Is Earl made everybody better.
I remember when she used to do stand up. That voice was irritating then too.

I'm always up for a swap
In reply to wae :
I went through the same routine with my KLR250 yesterday, which is kick start only. I'm sore in some weird places today.
It's only been sitting since October or so, but still I drained the gas, put fresh in, hosed out the carb out, etc and still couldn't get more than a few chugs out of it. There's a plastic piece that threads into the carb body to attach the cable for the enricher which is stripped out, ordered a new one last night so fingers crossed that's the fix. Hoping to have it for sale in running condition in time for tax rebates and nice weather to hit in a few weeks.
New job (maybe)
This anxiety might kill me before I even start. The self-sabotage is also working its magic. You aren't qualified for this job. It's not going to make the 3rd shift work. You're ten thousand other things (that aren't true. )
Berk.
When people ask me how I'm doing, I never remember to just say fine.
My mouth just starts blabbering about anxiety, depression and lack of motivation. Which clearly is a conversation killer.
Why can't I just say fine?

Don't say "fine". I've had excellent conversations with people, and become good friends with some, who didn't just say "fine".
In reply to tuna55 :
I've said "fine" for years when I wished I could have said all of that. There were some things I did/felt when I was "fine" that I haven't told a soul, including Applewife.
My work partner for about ten years, when asked how he was doing, would always answer with , I'm just happy to be here, man.
People thought he liked working there. What he really meant was that he was just glad that he woke up still on the right side of the grass
