Leftovers and such
- Thread starter snowcraig2.0
- Start date
I embrace simple pleasures:
- taking my socks socks off at the end of the day
- going out for the sole purpose of getting an ice cream cone
- watching my daughter having fun with her friends
- a slow drive at night with the top off the Jeep
I also feel like a boss whenever I knock something off a table or drop something, but then have a super-human reflex and snatch it before any damage gets done. Last month, we were out to eat. While I was turned around talking to someone, my wife set her water glass near the edge of the table behind me. As I turned back, I nudged the glass off the table with my elbow but managed to snap my hand down and grab it with very little water spilt. I was like, "Throw me a parade, *******!"

We'd been limping by with an older dyer where sometimes you'd have to run the cycle more than once and it was just kind of a pain in the ***. New one came the other day and I'm honestly giddy to dry some more clothes tonight.

Me too! Thought I was the only one.
I have the old people joys as well.
Inundated with tomatoes, but the grilled cheese tomato sandwich for lunch is a good follow-up to the morning coffee.
We are going through two cups of hummingbird red stuff a week. They are oblivious to the dog and me. They come within a foot of us. They are strikingly beautiful.
And I highly recommend staring at the night sky.
i cant wait to open my laptop and get on cyclone fanatic and read what all u dip sticks have to say!
You mean you want to know what your mama's been up to...
Driving my 1970 Chevy Pick Up. Just driving around, arm out the window. Using a key, hand crank for the window. Able to actual touch the fan belt. Suspension squeaks a bit. AM/FM radio. No A/C. Stop somewhere and have coffee on the tailgate.
Its spiritual.

After 6 months of not having one, I wanted to invite friends over to show them when we got a new fridge with a working ice maker.

Not me. I find the older I get, the less geeked I get about trivial things and, in fact, begin to dread them. Like going to the grocery store, which I'm not looking forward to doing today.
I also have a confession to make. I used to love to go to my grandchildren's sporting events, but not anymore. I have a grandson playing his senior year of football and I dread the next game, because it means I will have to sit in those damned uncomfortable bleacher seats for 3 hours.
Yeah, I last moved around that age, and while I appreciate the friends who helped me move, I'll just hire out the next move. At least for the big stuff.

Ice cream cones... so many memories. Folks didn't have much $ growing up, but summertime we would go on drives just to drive around the area, maybe an hour or two. Usually stopping for a cone somewhere towards the end.
Did some of that with my kids, but usually more after soccer/baseball games. Had more money, less pointless drives.
Now older, doing some of that on the motorcycles, just going out for a ride somewhere and grabbing a cone. Good excuse to go for a ride.
Slow down and enjoy the ride - before its over.
Bedtime
Going for a walk, especially on nice weather days
Peace and quiet
Those are probably my big 3

It hurts a little bit when I go see my child when she first wakes up in the morning and says straight to my face, “No, I want mommy.” Thanks, kid. I love you too.
Obviously you like them, and sounds like you have the patience, so I suggest get a hummingbird feeder ring. Cool to have them land on your hand. I'm enjoying that in the cooler mornings with coffee before long work days/weeks start here in the next few weeks.
