Trusting the home inspector that said the roof wouldn’t need to be replaced for at least another couple years.

Not trying to dox myself, but I also live in Missouri and have a sailboat on Carlyle Lake in IL (about an hour from St. Louis). If you’re anywhere in the area, our sailing club is doing our annual Try Sailing Day on June 22nd. Free rides on a variety of different small sailboats and catamarans in exchange for a gentle sales pitch to sign up as an associate member, take some lessons, and be able to rent out any of the club’s fleet boats or volunteer to crew for someone on the Sunday buoy racing circuit.
Do you live in an area where you can go sailing?
As I am now in my 40s myself, I empathize and admire him more and more every day.
I hiked a portion of the Appalachian Trail right after I got out of the Army years ago. Half the people were like me: early 20’s, either taking time off from college or just out of the military and looking for a thing to do before joining the rat race. The other half were 65 and older, retired people who finally had time to indulge their pass times.
And then there was one dude, mid-40’s, who just shrugged and said, “I was on the highway, about to take the exit ramp to my job and I ended up here instead.”
Eat enough alphabet soup to give yourself diarrhea then look at what comes out. Same effect.
Honestly, I think I have a bit of sensitivity to the tannins. Gives me an unsettled stomach.
I will go on Football Manager binges, overhauling my favorite squads and seeing them to long-term success. Then I watch actual football matches and think, “Why isn’t Dick Johnson starting at left back?” and have to remind myself that Dick Johnson doesn’t really exist.
Thought it was good, not great. Definitely not the “you had to be there” big screen experience that Fury Road was.
I was surprised that Anya Taylor-Joy didn’t even show up until an hour into the film.
I enlisted in the Army on Sept 5th, 2001…that was an eventful week.
If they pull a knife, you pull a gun. That’s the Chicago way!
I found several Le Nautiluses in beach towns in France, so it checks out so far.
Don’t really know, I’ve never talked to any of them.
Just watched an early screening last night. Loved it! It’s not an outright comedy but it had the audience laughing throughout by being just clever or humorous enough in between the copious action scenes.
Your enjoyment of the movie will be highly dependent on whether you find Ryan Gosling charismatic or not, because he’s in pretty much every frame.
The blurb cut off at the exact same point as my interest.
One was in the works but got canned.
For the next best thing, watch the episodes of Strange New Worlds with the Gorn.
All 20 novels in the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O’Brian.
/never had the heart to read the unfinished 21st book.
Emma Stone/Yorgos Lanthimos is one thing, but when Jesse Plemons showed up in the trailer it was a done deal for me. That dude does not miss.
