Today is the first time I heard of ketchup chips

They're a Canadian thing.

Crazy day today. Took the day off, but went to bed at 3:00am last night finishing up some things. Wife calls me at 6:00am saying her car died at the gas station in our neighborhood. Drove there and she dropped me back home and took my car to work. Since I could not find the jump starter, I assumed it was already packed with the rest of the stuff for our move, so I had to call roadside assistance. Either way, from her description it sounded more like an issue with the starter.

Unfortunately, I needed to be with the vehicle when they came to tow it, so I had a friend of ours come pick me and the kids up and go to the gas station. My friend had jumper cables, so we gave that a shot and it worked, so the issue was the battery. Took the car to O'Reilly's to get a new battery, but they would not install it because it was storming so I just bought it and took it home. Put the baby to sleep, made lunch for my older son and took an hour nap. Woke up and changed the battery, since it stopped raining momentarily.

My boss started blowing up my phone, so I called him back and realized that I dropped the ball on an activity for work. Spent the next hour and a half straightening that out. This day has sucked big time. So much for a vacation day.

At least it was just the battery and not the starter?

True. A lot cheaper and no parts and labor required (other than my own labor).

So @stormchaser2014 should have said "You should probably catch up on today's society eh?"

You should probably catch up on today's society.

Ran tonight. Speed improved to "satisfactory". Even better, did not die.

My daughter started getting down on herself because she feels like she's one of the slower girls on her soccer team. She is actually about middle of the pack, but there are also some ridiculously fast girls on her team. I've been working with her to run on her toes for quicker bursts of speed. Last night, we went outside and ran a few quick 15-20 yard burst sprints.

Holy crap, I thought I was gonna die.

I'm still fairly quick, but my sprinting days should be fond memories at this point. I'll stick with 2-3 mile runs

CycloneErik needs some help on that marathon thing, you could volunteer both yourself and the daughter. Throw in CG, Pants, and Boxster and he's got his team.

It's Diff Eq. not Diffy Q

Sure if you want to sound all academic about it. Diffy Q makes it sound almost like it would be fun (not that I would try it even pass fail, though I have a niece that would enjoy it probably)

, Hey CG are you watching Doc Martin tonight? Doc goes of on anti-vaxxers, thought of you.


GTO, I feel you brother, pretty sure the master brake cylinder went out on my truck tonight. Today was one of those days that sucked from the start. A repair job went wrong, working on some hydraulics came up with the systems not compatible. Rained out of mowing my yard.
Oh well tomorrow is another day.

so in light of the vast amusement I provided yesterday, I give a story from trivia tonight. We had some clue about wrestling and afterward, I was like "I'm tough" and made some air punches.

Friend is like "awwwwwwwwwwww that's so cute!" and I'm like, the hell, I am tough and also gangster (there is a running joke about me being gangster). This caused much laughter. Guy friend is like, CG, if I needed to have someone fight with me, I'd pick my wife first cause I don't want to fight her, then (other female friend there) and then you. I'm like, wtf I'm third?!?! Is this an insult?? And then they said they pictured me fighting like Brick from Anchorman, like I wouldn't know what I'm doing but then would accidentally poke out an eye or something.

I was telling DH about your guys Woo dating stuff on the way home and the comments about me and how it mirrored tonight. DH is like sounds like the RTT people have you pegged.


Also, we won trivia again, three weeks in a row.

@cowgirl836 I feel like that tugboat post might be the top of your peak. Everything else is going to be downhill from now on.

you really liked that, didn't you? I just saw an opportunity for something I found silly.

My comment was "silly"? You wound me!

Kinda feel Hurricane Harvey is getting a little underplayed as a news item on the national front.

I'm hearing a lot about it. My nieces are just north of Houston.

I'm ready for football season so people quit talking about this Game of Thrones Fantasy crap. I live in the real world, this is almost worse than that Pokemon Go shcrap.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

@BoxsterCy cant make the game watch next week, but is anything planned for the following game yet?

You're not welcome here, Chode. We won't feed your feeble trolling beyond this post. See yourself out.

I know. I was just messing with you.
