FRH Banter Thread

[LordOfWu]

OK, so I have some time this fine Easter morning, so I thought I'd start a banter thread...just because!

We're cooking up a turkey today...I know, it's not traditional Easter fare, but we really like turkey and you really need an event to cook one of these things up!

Happy Easter everybody!

[imported_macms]

I'm home alone at the moment. The wife went to visit her family and we will have dinner later today. Were going to grill something.

Happy Easter to you and yours. :wink:

[sparky1957]

just wanted to stop in and say hello and happy Easter to all.

[opusfxd]

I'm finally home able to relax (except for the household duties like cleaning and laundry) after a hectic weekend. Spent Friday night into Saturday morning smoking some meat for my girlfriend's suprise birthday party we threw her. Turned out quite good and I have a bit left, not suprising considering all the rest of the food I cooked up AND it was 15 pounds of pork shoulder. Anyone else ever grill in a snowfall?

Today was visit the parent's for lunch and then over to the gf's for dinner.

[LordOfWu]

So if we meet up this week to help Fred w/ Troop cigars, you treating us to leftovers? :D

I'm working (damn it!)...I think I'm getting a cold of some sort, and I'm digging through PeopleSoft documentation...yep, my evening sucks.

[opusfxd]

Dude! I am so sorry!!! Been there done that Peoplesoft implemenation. I'd rather pass a kidney stone I think. I've got some stories for the next herf looks like. I've got leftovers. BTW, if you haven't tried it go to Brother's BBQ and try the pulled pork. When you do; close one eye, tilt your head and try a version of the Carolina Mustard BBQ sauce. Trust me!

[LordOfWu]

'Close one eye and tilt your head'?!? What is this, some sort of bbq sobriety test?!? :mrgreen:

I'm definitely coming down w/ something...I sound like a 90 year old chain smoker today! Not feeling too bad today, was a bit rough yesterday. Nonetheless I'm at work... {sigh}

[opusfxd]

close one eye and tilt your head. kinda like the dog does when you're doing something funny.

now if you're feeling icky, don't come near me. i'm still healthy (except in the skull)

[LordOfWu]

Long day...I'm not qualified to work at my current job, I'm not dysfunctional enough to fit in! Third complete upper management change for my org in last 5 months...crazy!

I'm definitely feeling better...voice is even coming back! Well, have a good night all...

[opusfxd]

Glad to hear you're feeling better. Now you can come over to my place and help me dig out!! I've got to produce an assessment for physician credentialing system from moronic vendors that can't answer my questions, redesign things after their presentation and of course lets toss in a fax server at the last minute.

Oh did I mention my office usually hovers in the mid to upper 70's. Sometimes we see 80s!

[LordOfWu]

1. Are there other kinds of vendors (besides moronic)?

2. I feel you on the office temps...when I was out at Rocky Flats the entire HVAC was shut down and replaced with these odd mobile units...day usually started out in the high 50's low 60's and ended up in the low 80's! We brought in a temp tracker and showed 4 days of 20+ degrees swing and got us out of there!

Hope to see you on Friday!

[opusfxd]

Maybe we should track the day's highs and lows. But I do work in the first 'green' building in Lakewood. Another reason for a fun rant on Friday. You'll love it!
See you then.

[LordOfWu]

{sigh} back at work...man I gotta get outta here!

It must be nice to work in a green building...but what does the color have to do with it?

[opusfxd]

LOL!!! Right now I ditched the green building for Havana Manor. Free wireless, I'll finish work from here. :D Just me, my laptop and this Oliva G Maduro. I like this.

[CFRHN]

The signal to noise ratio in here is...... :mrgreen:

[opusfxd]

There wasn't much noise there at all. BTW, my laptop battery lasts just about as long as that Oliva G Torp. Nice place.

[LordOfWu]

That's cool! I finished my afternoon at home in the garage w/ the door wide open! What an awesome day!!! Then we sat in the back w/ a fire going and I smoked my AF Cuban Beli...DAMN that's a good smoke!!

[opusfxd]

I finished mine by an impromptu dinner with the gf before going home and finding out the FAA approved the waiver for my rocketry club I submitted. Can you say fly to 23K feet MSL? I can!! :D I'd post a dancing chicken here but I can't find one.

[LordOfWu]

Another crazy day...and it certainly doesn't help that it's all crappy outside!

Man, I'm lookin' forward to the bunker tomorrow night!

[LordOfWu]

So, what to smoke tonight...hmmmmm...so many good smokes gifted to me from the last herf........OK, decision made...RyJ 1875 Anniversario

Ahhhhh, smells tasty!!! Just about time to indulge...I hope you're evening goes as well as I'm planning on mine going.

:mrgreen:

[opusfxd]

Nutty day at work, rush to get my kids and take them ice skating with scouts get home and I still have to go for a run before I can settle in for something like that. I'm thinking pipe tonight.

[LordOfWu]

So, while reading "Steve & Me", the biography of Steve Irwin, there's a quote in there from one of the times things weren't going well that summed up how I've felt at FDC for a while.

"Crocodiles are easy, they try to kill and you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend o be your friend first."

Glad to say, It's nice having FRH friends...don't have to worry about getting eaten!

[opusfxd]

I hates me dem crocodiles. I'm beginning to become a bit more vocal about one at work, I hope I don't step on my you know what. Fun part is watching him in meetings dropping the ball or passing it off to someone.

I too am glad for my FRH friends.

[LordOfWu]

I like crocs! :D

So, I'm trying to find a new job...will Architect for money or cigars...

[opusfxd]

I just got accepted to the Mini HaHa triathlon and off the wait list!!!

[opusfxd]

And I just noticed that LordofWu got a break before I did and got to 100 first. Nicely done.

[LordOfWu]

I just got accepted to the Mini HaHa triathlon and off the wait list!!!

You had to wait for your HaHa? What?

hehehehe, good luck man, I couldn't do that stuff!

[opusfxd]

Beats chasing a ball around a park. :lol: Thanks.

[LordOfWu]

Looks like another beautiful day out there! And with the great prize from Jamie for my incredibly useful posting ( :oops: ) I may just have to enjoy some of it with a nice smoke!

Here's to a great weekend!

[opusfxd]

Get outta my head dude! I need to go for a bike ride when it gets a bit warmer, get my kids and then kick back a little later with a fine first nice day of spring celebratory stick. Maybe a RyJ someone gave me. :D

[opusfxd]

OMG!! What a beautiful day. I put in a 15.5 mile bike ride, just as the wind started up of course, and then I went and got the kids. What do they want to do? Go to the park of course. I'm in! So what a better way to spend two hours in the park watching my kids play? Getting to know a RyJ that some uberposter was kind enough to gift me. Thanks Mert!! Made a good afternoon even better. It's been a long time since I took one down that far.

Downsides for the day - I was putting on my arm warmers (it was chilly when I started riding - oh they're like detached sleeves while you ride a bike so they can come off when you get hot) and my hand slipped and hit myself in the mouth. Been a while since I had a bloody lip. It looks like spicy and salty are out for dinner for a while.

#2 didn't get squat else done because we were playing all afternoon.

#3 I found out my 7 year old is grounded from TV and video games for a month because he gave the 10 year old the bird yesterday in Target. To think I was going to take them to see Horton Hears a Who. Oh well, there's always dvd someday.

[LordOfWu]

I'm glad you like the RyJ!

The story of hitting yourself in the mouth...that's priceless! Reminds me of that movie Liar Liar with Jim Carey where he beats himself up in the bathroom. (imagine ROFL smilie here)!!!

:mrgreen:

[opusfxd]

What's with this white crap everywhere? Oh wait, it's spring in Colorado. I forgot. I swear the weather teases us more here than a stripper does to clients on a Saturday night. So it's back to another week of nice weather with a messy weekend is it? ppppppppbbbbbbbbbbbbttttttttttt!!!!

[physiognomy]

Time to go snowboarding before I dust off my clubs... :D I'll be in Beaver Creek on thursday & I might need to make sure I get another day in before the weekend. Didn't snow much here by DU, but I hear the mtns got hit. I-70 was closed at Vail earlier this evening... Not sure if they have it moving again or not?

[opusfxd]

I heard late tonight I70 might be open. Looked nasty on the news.

[opusfxd]

Skateboarding may not be a crime, but is sure annoying as @#$% when your neighbor kid is out on his wooden deck, which is about 3 feet from my door, 'workin' his moves'.

[opusfxd]

So when did it become common place and acceptable to constantly sniff like someone that just spent three days at Studio 54? I've got a couple at work that exhale, inhale, exhale, sniff. Constantly.

Grouchy old man signing off and looking for a cocktail.

BTW, the little criminal next door is skating again. At least he's not tossing his cigarette butts in my carport or his pot can in my landscaping right now.

[LordOfWu]

What's going on, you auditioning for 'Grumpy Old Men 3'?

:mrgreen:

[opusfxd]

Long week with skate punk next door.

[opusfxd]

So if anyone's wife or girlfriend signs your kids up for school, take them out for a hand massage and dinner. I signed my kids up for the summer program today and it was worse than when I bought my house. I'm a mouse clicking keyboard jockey and forty minutes of filling out forms asking details such as my kids' dentist's phone number and shoe size was a bit extreme. I thought it was going to be a put their name on a list kind of thing. Nope. Oh well, another event appreciating the plight of the single parent. (I've only got a week and a half of it)

[LordOfWu]

Had a great interview today...may be getting a job offer soon! Man, I can't tell you how great it would feel right now to kick off something new, I appreciate everything FDC did for me, but it's just time to change it up a bit!

[opusfxd]

Great deal dude!!! We'll spark one for you when you get it. I had my review today myself. Nice and strong. I'm happy considering some of the conditions I'm in.

[moglman]

I'm happy for you Mert! It is a good feeling of moving on. In our business, I feel it's really important to embrace change. I actually feel sorry for those in IT that never want something new to challenge them, because it's coming whether they want it or not.

[LordOfWu]

Thanks! And I completely agree with you, IT should embrace change, not avoid it...

Now, keeping my fingers crossed... :)

[jcarlton]

Good luck Mert!!!

[LordOfWu]

Headed up to the mountains tomorrow...if it's cold I won't have the opportunity to light up...damn! Whoever did the rain/snow dance better watch out, I'm gunnin' for him!

[opusfxd]

Have fun. We'll light one for ya. :D

I'd rather have this weather this week than next. This week I'm full time Mr Mom this week and stuck in the car whereas next week I can ride my scooter to my heart's content. BTW, I fully respect single working moms and what they do.

[LordOfWu]

Well, I'm off to bed to recover from a great weekend but lots of driving. I'll chat with you all later this week.

[opusfxd]

Just thought I'd say, IT'S SCOOTER SEASON!!!!! Oh that felt good to get out and ride a bit today. Now I just have to wash and wax it.

[opusfxd]

Ah a giant lement. The snow doth bring a pause to arrival of scooter season. :evil: But, what results of that is a great evening herfing with Peter and Jamie. Great time guys!!

Scooter will return soon enough. Friday maybe? In the interim I can spend time in the house and cleaning my newly acquired fridgeador given to me by a coworker. Now other than hiring a cigar elf that can hold his breath for days at a time that can gently mist the air with distilled water sourced from a high mountain spring, does anyone have suggestions as to how to humidify this sucka? Think 4' tall, 2' deep and 2 1/2' wide honeymooners apartment fridge.

[jcarlton]

I'd much rather have a honeymoon elf that could hold her breath for...



:P


Good luck with the fridgeador
:mrgreen:

[glking]

I have 1.5 lbs of Heartfelt beads in a shallow tray with an Oust fan blowing across it in mine.
Haven't had any problems. I did seal up the drain hole to make it more airtiight.

[LordOfWu]

Ahhhhhh, it's Friday, work is over, time to relax...crazy week, but it's over...and this new job opportunity is looking good, had a second round of interviews yesterday, and I should know by next Friday!

[opusfxd]

Great to hear!! Good luck to you.

Took a break today about 230 and went out with a couple guys and sat in the grassy ampitheater we have and the three of us smoked down our pipes in the afternoon sunshine. :D Thirty minutes well spent I think.

[opusfxd]

So after a bike ride this afternoon, I fired up a Taboo HSG. That thing lasted for 1:40 of yummy goodness until I had to put it down with 2" left on it so I can eat my ribeye off the grill.

So anyone want to meet me up at Havana Manor after work for a quick one? I know it's a haul for almost everyone but it's worth a shot asking. I need to head over there anyways.

[moglman]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it there this week, Dave. Too f'in much work on the plate.

Dave (sparky1957) and I had a nice breakfast at a local dive and chilled with a cigar to watch 'No Country For Old Men". Wicked movie, and a pretty good Trini Ingenios to go with it.

[opusfxd]

Anyone else watch the food network?

Is it me or does Mert look like Chef Duff on Ace of Cakes? :shock:

[Spect]

Jesus.... I totaly missed Easter. My wife would so make fun of me for this; I was wondering why she bought all those cookies with bunnies on them.

[physiognomy]

Hey!!! I resemble that remark!!!

Actually, I've heard that before, and I've actually been stopped in the airport and asked. Trust me, you don't want me to bake anything for you!

[LordOfWu]

So, I just wanted to update everyone, I will be starting a new job on May 12th!!! Yay me!!! It's been kinda stressful the last couple of weeks...man, I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again this Saturday, feels like it's been a while! That's really it, been kinda tired, so I'm gonna finish this 5 Vegas Miami and call it a night...l8r

[jcarlton]

Congrats on the new job!!!!!

[opusfxd]

Way to go!!!! Here's to lower bad stress days. :D

[twinarch]

Congrats on the new job!

[sparky1957]

Congrats on the new job! Looking forward to Sat.

[opusfxd]

Hey doesn't the person with the new job bring the Stranahan's? :shock:

Just checking.

[opusfxd]

It's May and its snowing like this??? :evil: RAGE!!!!

[opusfxd]

So it's going to snow again tomorrow???? Geez this is getting ridiculous.

On another note, Duane up at Havana Manor said he's going to have UFC 84 on May 24th. Sounds like it won't be a vendor event but he said there'll be some specials and food and such. Anyone interested? (Mert)

[LordOfWu]

Wow, first day of work, and it was great! I'm meeting w/ a CIO tomorrow to see if I can give some architecture support to some projects they have going on...got the new laptop (Dell Inspiron 1420; 300 GB HD and 3 GB RAM for you propeller heads!)...man this is feeling good!

Meetings. Just say tentative. :D

A bigger waste of time? Pre Meetings to ready yourself for the meeting. Let's not forget the good ol conference call when you're one of the only ones not in the room.

[zmancbr]

Man this forum is D E A D today... Thought I would post and see what happens... :mrgreen:

[opusfxd]

Well, I might come along and reply.

Finally!! A beautiful, relatively wind free day. I nice almost two hour ride on the bicycle earlier today. Ordered my new contacts, have a guy coming to look at buying my old rims. What a day! (I wonder if I should push the productivity and try for laundry)

NOOOOOO!!!!!













Fire up a good stick and relax. 8)

[opusfxd]

Sounds like bowling with the kidlets is in the cards. Maybe after that.... :)

[LordOfWu]

Ah, an hour plus jiu jitsu class...I'm sore but it sure was fun!

Finishing up a little smokey smoke, then it's off to clean up a bit, treat my wounds (some small scrapes...it's only my second class!) and relax for a bit before crashing...ah...life :mrgreen:

[opusfxd]

I had my CS Harley shirt trade stolen off of the porch today. I can't prove it but I'd bet its my neighbors. I did meet a cool cop who also races bicycles. He knows some of the same people I do. Now when he knew my criminal neighbor by name, that's a small world. (gotta brighten up the day somehow)

[LordOfWu]

That bites man! Sorry to hear that...hopefully you can get something back from it...BTW, will I be seeing you tomorrow night at Havana Manor for UFC fights?

[opusfxd]

Doesn't exactly look like that will be happening. Seems I'll have some chillens that evening that will be otherwise occupying my time. Besides, their fake IDs still haven't come yet. I think the guy that sold them to me on Ebay ripped me off. :evil:

[LordOfWu]

Dave, you missed some good fights on Saturday! Some almighty quick one's as well!!!

So, I am a bit sore today...I walked the Bolder Boulder yesterday...never realized how far 6 miles really is! Plus the mile + to get to the start and 2 + to get back to the car...lots and lots of walking!

[opusfxd]

Nice job there dood! A 10K isn't any slouch distance, even for a soccer player. (Insert chicken here)

[opusfxd]

I thought about a new thread for this but figured nah, I'll just do it here. Do we want to order more stickers?

On another note, the guy that does those also does dye sublimated Tshirts if anyone is interested.

[zmancbr]

So this place is dead today... is there anyone out there???? :mrgreen:

Nice... and although I am curious.. I won't ask cuz believe me I bet my golfing skills would put anyone to shame... I think Ray and I could play for worst golfer in Colorado... maybe one of us would get under 200 on the front 9... :mrgreen:

Just finished the Mini HaHa triathlon this morning. Sky cleared up just in time for my heat. 300yd swim, 11 mi bike and then 2 mi run. Well, my swimming and bike training are good. I still can't run for @#$#@. I could have maybe made it under an hour if I was able to run. I guess I'll find out in a day or so when the post the results.

But now, a smoke for the afternoon!!! I've been holding off for a while just for this. I wonder what I'll have? Maybe something new.

So I received a serious bummer today. I've been planning and training for the Hy-Vee triathlon in Des Moines in about a week. Everything from having the doctor fixing up my knee to training like crazy (btw, the doc said I'd rather you not run at all). Due to the flooding in Iowa, they've changed it to a run 10K bike 40k and run 5k. So that's out along with my entry fee.

I don't even know if I want to deal with the trip and expense to see my Grandma.

That sucks man. Sorry to hear that. As far as seeing your Grandma... might as well visit. I love seeing mine and who knows how long they will be around.

Well, I'm back from Reno. What a trip...but hey, I stopped by Fumadore and they have a great selection (picked up my first GOF!) and I grabbed 6 sticks I haven't had before. I found a shop called Hatuey, they apparently only sell their own cigars so I picked up a couple, smoked one and it was quite nice (although they called it full-flavored, but came across more medium to me). Last stop was Tinder Box, grabbed a few there (they had Opus X at pretty good prices, but went a little cheaper still).

But, I'm glad to be back...even though it looks like my house will be decimated before the end of the week!

Keep the women and children safe!! We can help rebuild.

Don't worry about the house... I am planning a massive retaliation... As soon as we figure out all the people who attacked... it is time to do this thing... I'm in for another 15-45 sticks if need be... :mrgreen:

The Hatuey Maddies are pretty good in my opinion! Was gifted a couple by a BOTL on another site.

Ah, the first of 11 days off. I'm still getting over the fact that late yesterday it was announced that they put the swim back into the triathlon, which is Sunday. Little late guys. :(

Oh well, it gives me time to guard the house and get some things done like I've been wanting to. As well as planning on some evil, twisted activities that can no longer be mentioned here. :twisted:

Yeah... that is tough... I'm not sure I could be there and not smoke lol... they might kick me out for it. :P

Glad to hear your break is relaxing... That is always a good thing. What counter tops are you re-doing?

[opusfxd]

What counter tops are you re-doing?
Oh I'm not redoing them, I'm cleaning all the junk off of them. :shock: Amazing what happens when you're up and gone about 6 and don't get home until 8 or 9. I found Jimmy Hoffa in one pile the other day.

Speaking of relaxing, are you going to install a gloveboxador for your drive in September? Maybe install the Czonka car air purifier for that drive every day?

Well... I suppose I better start thinking of something huh... lol. I am still hoping I find something down there before September but if I don't, then the drive will only take about 35 minutes more than the one I make now... so it isn't the end of the world... but the gas will cost me dearly. I figure I will put 180 miles a day there and back and an average of 4 days a week is 720 miles a week or in gas terms about $80 a week in gas... :shock:

But I really should start bringing a cigar for the drive home lol... it will make it much more relaxing... :mrgreen:

[opusfxd]

you best be careful, you're going to be burning through about an extra box every month during the commute. figure that in with your gas expenditure as well. Last I saw, you don't smoke cheap either. :shock:

Already had a number of them that night...I like my fish fresh! It was a lot of fun, but when you're catching that many it's hard to smoke a cigar! Dang inconsiderate of the fish, if you ask me! I will say I started off with a RP Edge, and it's a good fishing smoke, stayed lit very well, burned consistently w/ no effort from me (I was a little distracted) and it had a lot of flavor so you knew you were smoking a cigar!

Nice. I feel like I'm getting my butt handed to me all the time waiting for a time to relax.

Looks like my girlfriend joined the Zman club yesterday. She was driving down the aisle of Good Sam's parking lot after work and somebody cut through parking spaces and used their Geo Storm to take out her left rear wheel. She's ok but the car needed to be towed and that suspension is about all that's damaged but still undriveable. The kicker is just how you'd guess it would be; contractor working on the fifth floor of the hospital, neither one spoke english, driver didn't have a license and the insurance was through his sister the car owner. Of course its private property so no ticket was issued.

Let's see how this one turns out.

Yeah Alaska does run a tight ship on their fishing industry.... that's the good news...the bad is the ocean is not the best place for dumping trash but that's where a $hit load of it goes...

And F*** no I'm not going to that shithole called boulder lol... Most of the people there I would bitch slap lol.... They take things too far... I do like to do my part because it makes good economical sense...

It is far cheaper for me to drive a car that gets 38 MPG than one that gets 20... it is a lot cheaper to use CFL bulbs to save a ton on my electric bill... and using a programmable thermostat helps reduce energy use by 30% or more.... all this leads to less money wasted and less going to foreign countries.... The added bonus is the environment gets a boost also.

So, regarding this fish size issue, I was out on YouTube last night, looked up Alaska fishing and found a nice video of a young man catching a 54", 95 lb. King Salmon, which made at least the top 10 list in the state. This was from last year!

Many responses to that one:

1) I'm no expert but check with Peter, that's not a salmon
2) Would you like your Filet o' Fish supersized?
3) I'd like to show you all my new Fishador, holds about 300 boxes and is really waterproof
4) How big was the worm?
5) An extreme example of "give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish he'll eat for a lifetime"

Keep dancing.

[Spect]

Frustration reigns supreme.

My laptop is fritzing with no decernable errors but the darn thing keeps locking up. Worst of it is, darn thing keeps passing all the tests I throw at it.

I wanted to go riding today but its too hot. By the time it cooled off, its raining. So even if I did get a ride in, it's too wet to go out on the porch and smoke. Anyone have an umbrella?

I've had this issue a few times with laptops and I'm a the point where I can solve the issue most of the time:

1. Wipe HD
2. Reinstall everything -Make sure you spend hours getting drivers right
3. When your about to boot it for the first time after everything is set up, toss your computer into a full bath tub.

The &*#^er will never lock up again. :mrgreen:

Back from the frigid north! The fishing sucked!!! :evil: :evil: Caught a friggin' trout (WTF!!!) and one salmon, that's it! The damn ocean was too rough to go Halibut fishing...sucked, sucked, sucked.

However, the break was nice, hanging out at the camp smoking lots of stogies was nice...I still had fun, the fishing just sucked.

My slide down the slope just slowed way down...driving on the highway today and a huge freakin' piece of tire retread clobbered my poor car! Broken radiator and radiator mount, bent sheet metal where the radiator mount connects...and $1K later, I'll have my car in a couple of days. This sucks.

That does suck, f#*k it, sit back, relax, and smoke one of those -for a special occasion- smokes and enjoy the hell out of it. Forget about the car for an hour.

IT'S FREAKING HOT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Rain! Please!!! Cool it off.

Ok, now that I got that off my chest. I was on my way home tonight and the bastages with the city are repaving one of my main cycling roads also basically the road in front of my house. BUT they're not using asphalt, they're doing chipseal crap. Sucks to ride on btw. These guys dumped the initial load of rock chips and left huge piles of gravely stuff everywhere. So imagine my suprise when I make the turn onto the street and basically find a gravel road with piles of that gravely stuff. Nasty stuff to be riding on, especially in dress pants on a street bike.

I've heard it's a pretty thick book but not too much content.
