the random musings not worthy of new thread thread

Junket for wife's job.  So, some of both for her, mostly personal for me.

All expenses paid, including drinks.  I plan on having a lot of these:

Lava Flow

1 1/2oz. Light Rum
2 oz. Pineapple Juice
1 oz. Cream of Coconut
1/2 Banana
1/4 cup Strawberry Puree
1/2 cup crushed ice

Combine all ingredients in an electric blender with the ice. Blend 20 - 30 seconds. Pour strawberry puree into a hurricane or collins glass. Follow with the blended mixture. This creates the flow.

Garnish with a pineapple wedge and paper umbrella

Fruity drinks are only ok at pool parties and where there is sand.  That doesnt sound bad FF

Fruity drinks are only ok at pool parties and where there is sand.  That doesnt sound bad FF

Fruity drinks are ok much more often than that:

1.  fruity drinks are OK for chicks at all times
2.  fruity drinks are OK for gay guys at all times
3.  fruity drinks are OK for married guys at all times, because frankly... who do we have to impress
4.  fruity drinks are OK for any remaining heterosexual males if they don't mind others assuming they're gay or married, want to get drunk faster than with beer alone, and/or are at a pool or beach location

Please note that 3-4 are all void if the drinker of the aforementioned fruity drink has any qualms about "mixing" beer and liquor.  If the option to drink a beer is at any time removed by the drinker, then he must be drinking under rule #2.

If I knew this was possible when I was 18 years old I would have gone to medical school and been a happy, happy man.

This is the ceiling.  Its nearly the same material as Drop Ceiling but its tongue and groove like pergo floors and attached directly to the floor joists

Cool. Was it sold as ceiling material, or was that a creative idea somebody had?

I'd like to finish my basement, but the ceiling space is pretty limited, especially for somebody my height. A drop ceiling is not an option.

Sold as Ceiling material Special order from Lowes  The Stapleing it to the joists was part directions/part my father in law.  My joists in the basement are only 13 inches apart, it says to make sure that the joists are not separated by more than 12 inches.  Either way it worked, looks great, and doesnt sag.

Your joists are on 13 inch centers? What planet do you live on?

Sad, sad truth.

Don't sweat it, man.  Relax, and enjoy a few peach dacqueris this weekend.

Okay, so my brute strength got the best of me today and I ripped the starter cord right out of my mower when it wouldn't start to my liking.  Question is this-- replace the cord in the five-year old mower or suck it up and get a new one?

[Diomedes]

you're a zen master, right?  fix it
no need to waste your money on a brand new one...unless of course that's what you really want to do...yuppie zen master

[Zanshin]

I'm not sure it's possible to be a master of anything.  That said, I'm definitely not a mechanical master.  And it's a question on whether the prospect is $150 hard to do.  If it's a bitch to fix, I'd rather spend a couple of bucks rather than spend hours being pissed off.  If it's relatively easy, I'd rather suck it up and fix it than spend money I don't need to spend.  So, I guess the question is-- have any of you actually fixed that, and is it a bitch?

[Diomedes]

yes and yes.  but I fixed it rather than bought a new housing and pull, which would have been a farg lot easier

[Rome]

If you save money by doing it yourself and you know it's going to be relatively painless in terms of stress, then do it.

Personally, as a money-loving capitalistic whoremonger, I'd buy a new one and toss the other one to the curb.
