Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

So Gander Mountain starts building a new store here in CR nearly doubling the size of the current one. Gander Mountain. Goes out of business but is bought by Camping World who says continue building it will be a joint store. Construction continues. Signs go up. Signs get taken down. Site put up for sale. Camping World admits that they will not be opening that store and will stay in the current one.

Daughter is about to take the PSAT. I guess it's the PSAT score that qualifies you to be a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist.

I'm sure she's a chip off the old apple and a block that didn't fall far from the tree.

I think this means you're calling me an old blockhead. That's pretty accurate.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

Uhmmm...not to return to darker topics, but Whar Pants? Has he loosed the DC's shackles as well?

EDIT: I see his avatar remains the same.

It is, but he posted normally a couple times in the cave. (I think he's posing!)

This is a much better ear worm than usual.

What's the real words?

He was always a poser, that part's not new.

You always seem to have the right meme or GIF. BTW, love your new avatar.

I am thinking Gandalf Mountain is toast. Some stores here staying open but their web site is currently devoid of any product presentation or ordering. "Standby while we build your new shopping experience", no, people are going to hop over to Cabela's or Dicks or somewhere else if you can't even maintain a web shopping option.

Even Demon Child isn't so evil to not wish @55dB a happy birthday on her birthday. You all are the true monsters for not doing so.

Trying... to fight.... DC...

Bonus points to whoever recognizes this movie.

It's the director's cut for Aha's "Take on Me" video

Happy Birthday Nickels!

Well, even though I am truly evil (as a lawyer) I will wish Nickels a Happy Birthday as well. You can't prove I specifically intended not to do that because I didn't know when her birthday was.

EDIT. You're still more eviller than me, Pants.

I think it reflects the "Inner JC".

Happy Birthday @55dB!

Having to wear a jacket while grilling kind of takes the fun out of it. I suppose a couple of more weeks and I'll call it quits for the season. Unless I get a nice weekend lunch opportunity.

I love grilling when a light snow is falling. I like the peacefulness of it. Bonus: your drink stays cold with no effort at all !

You could return all the items to a store and re-buy them. Seems efficientView attachment 50674

I decided to go with the note in the card of "Target is annoying, if you need to return, let me know." She laughed. And then, because I realized last night I was somehow out of Scotch tape, I tried to carefully use packing tape in a manner that she could still open it. I failed. I had to go up with my keys and cut it for her. Is it too late to join Boy Scouts to learn these skills??? jimlad
