I got the feeling my watching the whole game and rooting for the Bengals (because of the D) lost the game. I felt like Cincinnati may pull it out the last minutes but too many mistakes, QB sacks and questionable calls doomed them.
Get well BBUK, is a virus going around up there? This Florida sun would do you good.
Yes we all need to take it to the Lord once in a while. It is good for the soul as they say.Yes Sir,
A virus going around the BB's daycare I suspect and MY dumb arse drinking a ton more than I should have. I doubt I would have got as sick had I not splurged on the Spiced Rum.... I knew better and should have stopped at one or at most two... Four whipped me and I deserved it. The virus though was real as the BB, me, My Darling, and my youngest got it in that order.
I am able to wear a fitbit again and a heart rate that stays around 70 while resting raced at around 105 until this morning when I woke up for work. That is a scary situation... again self-inflicted...
What really caused me anguish.... I went to church this past Sunday morning with a "hangover"... Yeah, I have been ashamed ever since.. They say confession is good for the soul... I confess...
I have a quick cure for you:Yes Sir,

I used to have a friend who was a UK grad (maybe early-mid sixties). He was about 5'10 and 340 or so. He claims he was the UK beer chugging champion. He could take a long neck beer bottle in each side of his mouth and chug both at the same time. Don't know about the champ thing, but he could put away excessive amounts of beer.
🤮I worked at a bowling alley for about three years while in college. It had a lounge attached. During the city tournament one year, this guy was standing on the approach getting ready to start. He passed out drunk right there on the approach. There was another kid, just turned 21. They got him drunk and set up some pins on the dance floor of the lounge and he played a human bowling ball numerous times. This same guy was about 5'11 and 130 pounds soaking wet. He was "in love" with a waitress at a lounge down the street and wanted to be near her, so he somehow became a bouncer at that lounge. He came in the bowling alley a couple of days later looking like he was run over by a dump drunk. He had tried to bounce someone and they bounced back.
We had Automatic grenade launchers. If you put the right numbers in, it would launch them approximately where you told it. We had someone put the wrong numbers in and hit our own bomb dump. Luckily in landed in the road. If it had hit the wrong bunker...
Back while I was still in the Army at Ft. Sill not long before retirement, I was invited to another guy's dojo and was preparing for sparring on a Friday night. Scheduled the next day was a seminar at the Lawton Coliseum by Bill "Superfoot" Wallace". While I was sitting in a chair putting on my foot pads someone sat down in the chair next to me to put on pads. While he was putting on his pads, he said to me: "Nice haircut" I turned and looked, and it was Bill Wallace. I laughed and told him I was in the Army. He thanked me for my service, and we just chatted about the military for a few minutes because he had spent some time in the Army and served 2 tours in Vietnam. I found out that he and the guy who owned this dojo were old friends and he just wanted to get some exercise in before the next day's seminar. I have a picture of me and him somewhere that I will have to find and post here at another time.
Not sure where it is but, I will find the picture.
Good stuff, thanks. He probably fought with some of mine and Bert's ancestors. I have a copy of a CSA pay voucher for my 3rd great uncle on my fathers side. 2nd Lt Bozeman H. Adair who served in the Army of Tennessee, Co. A, 40th Georgia Infantry. He fought at Cumberland Gap, Chickasaw Bayou, Vicksburg and Champion Hill, MS where he was captured. He spent time in Yankee prisons at Johnson Island, Ft. Delaware and Point Lookout.I've posted in this thread a lot before regarding ancestral discoveries regarding the Civil War. I've found yet another. My 4th great uncle on my father's side was in the 27thGA Infantry CO. H. From Henry County GA right near Atlanta.
He Was at the Maryland campaign, Fredericksburg, Stonewall Jackson's flank at Chancellorsville. the brutal siege of Petersburg, Olustee, broke the union center at the seven days battles. Held turners gap at south mountain. Fought at cold harbor. And fought Sherman at Bentonville in 1865. Sherman marched through his home county of Henry County, GA.
He survived the war and lived to be 86. He's buried with his wife in Chickamauga, GA
''During the war the regiment suffered a casualty rate of 125 percent due to some men being wounded up to four times.''

Lakeland is in Polk County and is growing leaps and bounds. The Lake Wales area is really nice and there are some great fresh water lakes around with large mouth bass.
Thanks. We've been in the Crystal River area the last 3 winters. Love that area, but branching out a bit. Did you hear about the drive by shooting in Lakeland yesterday?Lakeland is in Polk County and is growing leaps and bounds.

Have you explored Citrus County? That is a very active place and has Crystal River, Homosassa and is scenic and nice.
Lakeland is the home of Sheriff Grady Judd. Don't mess around in Polk County. lol
You familiar with the Rosen Hotel chain? We have a customer from central Fl who has an in with them, so we have made most of their shades for forty years. He also has an in with Guest Supply, so we have made a lot of their shades. We have sent a lot of shades to Florida (and other places) over the years.Lakeland is in Polk County and is growing leaps and bounds.

That is an impressive client. They are in the Orlando area and have some high quality hotels. They host quite a few business meetings and are a good resort for families too. Close to Disney.
Check you PM, I sent you one.

I second the Lakeland area for a place to live and work. Before the "boom" Lakeland had many cattle ranches, orange groves and of course lake after lake after lake. 550 lakes that occupy over 135 square miles.
Bert, we had it all, rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow!!!
