@ThanosReXXX Balcony on the 4th floor sounds like a nice place to "relax". I bought a $15 plastic Adirondack chair - it's a chair w/ a full back that's low to the ground like a beach chair - that is so comfortable every time I sit in it I doze off. I like the plastic better than the usual wood b/c it has lower lumbar support which I really need w/ my scoliosis.
Someday we'll find it

@rjejr Looks like a decent enough chair. I've got a couple of these larger, adjustable ones: it has a leg rest, and if you stretch it out all the way, it's almost flat. If your chair already causes you to doze off, then the ones I have will probably send you to dreamland even faster...
I enjoy a good chair nap outside, for the 3 months in a year it’s feasible. Rest of the time is sand gnat and midges, there’s no true repelling them.
I had to dethatch and aerate last year. But at least I could just hook them onto the troybilt, so it wasn’t bad.

Dang, this thread moved faster today than it did for half the weekend. XD I've had a pretty crazy Monday. What started out as a crappy day trying to figure out what happened to a utility payment that I authorized (Still working on that, but I have proof from my bank that funds were sent) turned into getting a full-time job offer from where I've been contracting. 8D
It might have all been heralded by a weird dream I had in the early morning hours. I don't remember the whole thing other than I was in command of some Pokemon battling Final Fantasy/DQ-like monsters in real-time. They had health bars, and apparently Linoone in that dream world is capable of using some pretty awesome fire attacks. All against a two-headed shadow snake/dragon thing. ....This might mean I need to lay off the Pokemon a little. XD
@NEStalgia There actually aren't any Whole Foods stores nearby. Nearly all of my grocery shopping is done at an Aldi store. And I definitely don't make six figures. Part of the reason I have "food prep nights", which aren't every night, is to save time in the long run. Really the only thing that typically takes more than a few minutes for me is the meat prep and time...and that depends on the meat. A seasoned slab of salmon only takes about fifteen minutes (give or take a couple minutes for the cut's thickness) when I bake it on 400° F.
I do plan my purchases but admittedly don't leave much wiggle room for the next time I shop; it almost HAS to be every two weeks. The only one I have to feed is myself. I'm sure the dynamic would change a bit if I had a significant other and/or a couple of kids.
That's not to say that I NEVER eat fast food or processed stuff, I've just severely cut my reliance on it. I'm not adverse to an old-fashioned burger and fries every once in a great while.
I didn't exist during the 80s - I share a birth year with the original A Link to the Past release in Japan - but it's interesting to see that Pizza Hut was even better at one point. Out of the four near-ish locations, only two dine-in locations are open. One closed and became a decent mom & pop restaurant that burned down, was rebuilt and is now doing better than ever. The other has a medical facility where it used to sit. Its replacement was the Taco Bell down the street (Not an improvement IMO).

All I can say is, what the H E double hockey sticks happened to bennigans over here in the states. Placed had the best burgers and buffalo chicken sandwiches on a pretzel bun. Last one I saw was like 12 years ago
I turned some boring rotisserie chicken into a fun meal with some veggies and rice earlier. That’s my contribution to the food thread.
I decided to take the morning and/or day off tomorrow to do the truck tune up. When I got home at 530 it was still sweltering out; we hit 96F today. I set aside all the tools and cleaners I need, so at least I won’t have to dig around in my tool boxes. Now I’m winding down with some Lego City

@HobbitGamer, @NintendoByNature Thanks! I've been reading through some of the material this evening. Pretty sure I'll take it. I've been hoping for an offer for some time. ^_^
I've never been to a Bennigan's, but I've heard they're pretty decent.

@Tyranexx hopefully it's close to home. Sometimes that's make or break for me. But who am i kidding , I do outside sales and cover 70% of the state of Illinois. So im always driving around 😑
@NintendoByNature It's roughly a twenty minute round trip from my house depending on traffic, so the distance isn't bad at all. My current place of work is closer, but I've been bringing my lunch most of the time anyway. Plus they're only a small jaunt from a really good local restaurant and some fast food joints.
...I'm sure you've been near my whereabouts if the 70% claim is true. XD
@HobbitGamer The weather has been pretty mild today - upper 60s as a high, lower 70s tomorrow - but that'll spike into the upper 80s in a few days. That's hot enough for me, you can keep your 96°F. XD

@Tyranexx yeah, Georgia summer is here now. Gonna be up to 101 Friday. It’s not so bad by itself, but it’s always accompanied by 90-100% humidity and nary a breeze. It’s 11pm and still 78 now.
@Tyranexx think you said you were in southern Illinois. Furthest South ive been for work, is herrin,IL. That's on rare occasions though. Only if i have appointments and never for cold calling.
@HobbitGamer That's what I dislike here, too: the humidity. The heat itself isn't normally bad, but the humidity gets pretty high sometimes. By far the most humid place I've ever been to is New Orleans in July.
@NintendoByNature I'm somewhat familiar with that general area - I considered going to college near there even. But believe it or not, that's actually farther south than here. XD

Does anyone think there will ever be a dual screen system again? With the failure of the Wii U, and Nintendo basically merging their console and handheld business, the only real future for it is phone and console integration.
I just can't imagine playing a game like SMT Strange Journey on a single screen.
Sakurai: Which is why I think we should forget about console wars and focus on what’s really important: enjoying the games themselves.

Gonna start surgery on the truck. I’ll put pics on Twitter for anyone interested, but you’d have to ask @Morpheel How to find them. I barely could figure out the posting part.
