I thought when we do I want to travel west because I'm thinking adjusting to the time change would go better. We have not yet done a TA either. Eric doesn't want a TA that has 8 sea days so another reason this one looks good since you only have 2 or 3 sea days in a row. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 19, 2022 #57927 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Thinking of y'all. They use the same company for Syrup that I do for puree. At the pool we got a Miami Vice and a Peach Daiquiri. We couldn't drink them because of chunks of ice. I went back to the bar and pointed it out. He said it's the size of the ice. I told him I have not had this problem at the other bars. He said again, size of ice. I told him I have this machine, you just aren't blending it long enough. I said blend it twice. He did another Peach and blended extra. I told him perfect. He said, size of ice. I said this one is perfect. He made another Miami and it was perfect. I had this happen before while up at the pool bar. Edited May 19, 2022 by Ozark_Kid 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I had pizza (before the pandemic) it was $2.25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have been watching the Mets game today, Lenny. The Mets are heading to Denver (this evening) to play the Rockies starting tomorrow and they said the temp will drop from 80s today to the 30s tomorrow. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something we always do late April or early May. I always figure it’s better to know that the AC is working then to find out later that it isn’t. especially these last few years with shortages of everything. 3 hours ago, Sunshine3601 said: All set for the kitty cats to remain cool although they love to be outside during the day.

I was hoping to avoid rush hour but Eric kept finding last minute things to do like wash the car. Funny, I like to wash the car too before taking a long road trip. Hate looking thru dirty windows at a dirty hood for hours at a time & getting my hands dirty every time I touch the door handle during my (frequent) rest stop breaks. Heading upstate NY to the Finger Lake region first thing tomorrow morning. I was going to wash the car today but it was so chilly, gloomy and drizzled on and off all day, I did not. I could wash it first thing in the morning - like 6 am when it's going to be 50 degrees. LOL. But between the tree pollen and bug splatter from driving thru the Catskill Mountains, the car will be filthy before I arrive at my destination. Plus the neighbors will think I'm crazy. 😁 Edited May 20, 2022 by HBE4 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge portions, reasonable prices and tasty food. Love the "Disco Fries" which is a poor mans version of Poutine. Best drunk food, so a friend tells me.😇 I haven't been there in many years. They have another location in Manhattan (same owners) , right across the street from Madison Square Garden but the place is always packed after a Ranger game so I've never been in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago we had a cat sprayed by a skunk. That was horrible and seemed like the odor was never going away. I feel safer with them inside. Plus I get the purring snuggles in bed.😻 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
