I don’t think I’ve ever given one. Want to be my first? You’ll need to say something dumb first though.

I never have, I feel like it’s name calling.

Did you need some kind of warning? We did a loop and caught Clarion, Dakota City, Algona, Garner, and Forest City. We were going to pick up Northwood, Mason City and Hampton on the way back home, but you can see how late it was when we got to Forest City.

Would have said hi had I known.

Interesting - in the past few days, I've seen several women on TV with my style of Covid hair. Pam Dawber rocked it on NCIS, and I just saw a commercial for some new show with Katey Sagal that had a woman with long reddish hair, grey from the roots to the chinline all around.
Thursday we're finally going back to see my stylist; Lew is getting his lovely locks hacked off and I'm going to get highlights in the lower part of my hair in the hopes that the ends will look more like the roots. I cannot wait - I haven't seen Suzanne since Feb 2020.

Wait. Mindy is on NCIS?

Guest role as a reporter who gets Gibbs to let her write his side of the story of his beating up the dog-killer.

Did you know she's his IRL wife?

Well, I would have waved if I knew where we passed you! I have no idea where you live...just cmjh.

We took a pretty direct route between the cities I listed, in the order they were listed...

Forgot to watch. It feels like the show is coming to an end too.

Gotta a Boston butt in the smoker. Not sure if it will be ready for supper.

I wanted to look this up in Urban Dictionary, but I was afraid.

I hear via the news that after July 1st I can open or conceal carry my chainsaw when I come to Iowa. No more hiding it in the trunk.

How I see Boxster's next Iowa visit:

Funny enough, that's one of the counties we hit last weekend:

I can remember sitting on top of that tank in the 5th grade. One of my classmates lit a book of matches and dropped it through the slit on the hatch.....we all ran like hell.

We were pretty dopey little $hit$ back then.

If you think that Naked and Afraid is pretty weird, you should watch Naked Dating sometime. Stumbled across that one slow night and thought, "Are you kidding me?"

Watched Kong vs. Godzilla Sunday.
Pretty to look at but what a stupid story. I guess they blow the budget on CGI and hire the bottom of the barrel writers.

Can we keep the TJ hire crap out of this thread, please? There are plenty of threads for people to spew ad nauseum on both extremes of the hire. This is supposed to be a haven from that kind of stuff.

Thanks

Aside from the O.G. Kong remake in 2005 have there been good story lines in either?

Not in these recent Godzilla movies there hasn't

Here's a snippet from a review I just read.

The human characters, from Alexander Skarsgård’s idealistic geologist to Rebecca Hall’s sedulous anthropologist to Brian Tyree Henry’s nattering conspiracy theorist to Demián Bichir’s mustache-twirling CEO — I honestly can’t believe that four actors I like this much could add up to so little in the way of charm or dramatic interest. They come off as placeholders. If you think back to Gareth Edwards’ 2014 “Godzilla,” it was basically a gargantuan B-movie, but the human characters there, led by Bryan Cranston and Sally Hawkins and Ken Watanabe, seem like the cast of “Hamlet” by comparison.

Watched it last week with the youngest and her boyfriend. Got a little teary when Kong did the "Home" thing -- otherwise, lots of action, little plot.

Busy weekend got home then had to travel S on hour for another job, then cleaned up some stuff for today and now get to do my own stuff for a bit.
