So you got the one with only male ends.. um.... sounds about right?

Brent the stud bumper strikes again!

It is the marquee event of the Olympics every cycle and yet again it does not disappoint! https://youtu.be/OR-KywN5ok8?feature=shared

Just looked it up on YouTube. Apparently there are supposed to be 3 poles, one of which has two female connections. My box had only these two poles. 🤬 Greg, do you have an extra Swiffer pole in your garage?

I remember seeing Krupa on Carson. Dude was incredible.

^^ I think I said it before - she be pretty. Sunday swing. The Essential Benny Goodman by Benny Goodman (var) https://album.link/i/254891127 Example: With Gene Krupa going off on drums. I wanted to listen to an album. But like so many things from the era (the example song was recorded in 1937 - yup 87 years ago), they were released on 78s. Also in this case it had to be split on both sides to fit the 8 minute version. So with that being said, The Essential is a great compilation ad pretty well restored.

Berlin was good. Lots of good beer and we both like German food. It was a work trip and that part also worked out well so overall the trip was good except for the last leg.

Finally finished Archer.

So we finally made it home from Germany this morning. Brent must have had a huge biscuit this weekend. So we were supposed to fly out of Berlin to JFK on Saturday morning around 11 am Berlin time. Shortly before we were to board the flight was cancelled. It seems the plane we were to take to JFK arrived from Amsterdam the previous evening and sucked a bird into one of the engines on its landing. The plane landed fine but they needed to check the engine internals for damage. There are only two ways to do this. Tear the engine apart and then put it back together or use an endoscope designed for the task. Unfortunately the nearest endoscope was in Amsterdam and was set to arrive later that day. So the flight was cancelled and they put us up in a hotel until we could get another flight out. Unfortunately the Delta website and app was not operating very well and it took us most of the day to get a flight booked for Sunday. We finally boarded our flight and made it to JFK where we remarkably landed on time, which was 2:45 pm NY time. However we had to sit on the runway for over two hours since we did not have a gate as no planes were permitted to leave their gates because of thunderstorms. We finally got to our gate, got through customs and got to the Delta lounge where Karen had several beers and I had a Bloody Mary and two Martinis as well as some food. We had a fairly long layover as our flight to Burlington was not scheduled to leave until about 11:00 pm. At approximately, 9:30 pm Delta canceled our flight due to weather. At least this time they scheduled us for another flight to Burlington on Monday morning. At this point we had no confidence that Delta could actually get us home so Karen called her sister, who lives in Forest Hills, to see if we could borrow her Jeep Cherokee and drive home to Northfield. We took a taxi from JFK, picked up the Jeep and drove home arriving here around 2:00 am this morning. Delta was not finished with us, I actually canceled our flight this morning on the way driving back to Northfield. I received a boarding call for the flight on my app this morning. So I say, “Fuck you Delta Cunts” and again I blame Brent.

Just finished GOT House of the Dragon Season 2’s finale. What a great season to a great show. It is probably the highest budget show on tv, but what carries it is the casting. I love the acting so much.

Sorry Steve, the pole is currently employed as a snake stick.

Why am I not surprised? I'd ask why, but it doesn't matter. Yes, I'll take them off of your hands kind sir.

I'm jelly! I did meet Elvis as a young lad though. My Uncle was a pit boss at the Tropicana, and introduced my family to him in '70. That led to a multi-year Elvis infatuation. Which explaines my first album.

My parents were friends with Gene Krupa and I saw him play at various events when I was a wee lad.

Vivian, the Hong Kong Epee fencer and our friend's athlete takes gold. It's a pretty awesome feat since the French fencer is very talented.

I recently had a BA flight that turned around mid air because it couldn’t get a part needed at the destination…. 🤡
