Capt.Crow 873 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 It's the wee hours now and there is a good drop of 12 yr old Jameson coursing through my system . All because tonight the new bar was inaugurated. Five on stools and me as barman . Candles and a little soft music . It feels really good when something like this comes together in a mellow way. I wish I could entertain yall here as I know that we could have a very good session Good night and may the road rise before you . :beer: Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,647 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Another option for old CPU's, RAM, Mobo's, and other printed circuit boards. Remove all ports which stick up (not ram or pci sockets, the ones for USB, ethernet, onboard video and such) and ship them to Ken (HeliOS) at Reglue for recycling. They have a deal with a local electronics recycler that pays them quite well for these items. And the recycler actually does harvest all the metals for reuse. They get money for the metal cases also, but not enough to justify shipping. Very cool!! I have a few dead motherboards that I could send if I had the money... Sounds great Capt., have one for me 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Capt.Crow 873 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Today a good friend of 35yrs was buried . He was 71 .He was a good man in every way. I am much more upset about this event than I thought possible. I will miss his good humour and country wisdom. But most of all I will miss seeing him on his old bicycle pedaling down the little road with a bag of grain on the handlebars, for sheep in an outlying field . With the early summer sun creating a long silhouette on the road behind him. :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: 1 Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,807 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) The curse the long-lived must bear is the loss of everything and everyone they've ever loved. Longevity can be a lonely thing sometimes. I'm sorry to hear about your old friend's demise, Cap'n. We're all gonna' follow him eventually. Take heart, though. You woke up breathing that fine fall air this morning. With any luck, you'll continue to do so for many a year to come. An old favorite of mine... When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. - Marcus Aurelius Edited October 18, 2014 by V.T.

amenditman 934 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Sorry for your loss Cap'n. We all have to go, but it's never pleasant for those left behind. That Emperor was a smarty, Eric.

Guest LilBambi Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The loss of an awesome friend is one of the hardest things to lose. My heartfelt condolences on your loss Capt.Crow. Here's to good Irish friends Never above you Never below you May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you. Link to post Share on other sites
Capt.Crow 873 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 The first part of my life I moved around a lot . So there was no loss of close friends . Now since I have settled in a rural area for so long I Got to know all the indigenous folk around me . There have been passing's of friends before ,but none hit me as hard as this . I know that the seasons change and new growth follows decay . But the naturals are becoming "very thin on the ground" Thank you for your kindness .It does ease things a little ,even at so far a remove . Thank you all Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,807 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hopefully, one day when you're gone from this place, there will be those left behind to mourn your absence and remember you fondly. That's about all we can ask for in this life, I guess... to be remembered fondly. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

amenditman 934 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Analgesic is always wonderful, especially when shared with good friends over war stories! Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,807 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Even if you don't have any friends or war stories to tell, an analgesic occasionally hits the spot. Don't make a habit of those lone analgesic episodes, though. That could be problematic. Link to post Share on other sites

Capt.Crow 873 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm late on tonight .We had a good session What I like most of all is my visitors get mellow and tell all the little secrets . I never realized how much fun there is in running a private bar . The returns on the stocks far outweigh the costs . Hoping to get visitors from Japan soon . Of course all are welcome . All tabs are paid in good company and interesting conversation . 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Capt.Crow 873 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 ON a sober note. Since I moved out here to the "boonies" 55 people that I have known over the last 30yrs have passed on. Today I noticed my favorite bank employee looked a bit down . Her drinking Buddie of many years . Took the midnight express. Three days ago.. Between us we have known at least five who have taken the same train since the bank collapse . There are a lot of cruel hasslers out there . Gird up your lions. Link to post Share on other sites

Capt.Crow 873 Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Today on a lighter note I took the old smokey about 20miles up country to my favourite wood-yard stacked enough plywood, ship-lap siding and 2x1 pao on the roof to more than finish off my new loft . I find I have to more and more immerse myself in projects. just to keep sane and not get down over others misfortunes. What do you guys do. . Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,807 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 What do you guys do. I smoke a lot of pot. HA! Just kidding. No, really. I'm just kidding. I haven't touched that stuff since 1985. I haven't even had an alcoholic beverage since about 2007. I haven't smoked a cigarette in 7 years. I do still cuss quite a bit, though. Umm... what do I do to maintain my sanity? Let's see... I ride my bike. I walk the neighborhood. I listen to music. I read. I spend time with my kitties. I tinker around in my workshop. That's about it for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Capt.Crow 873 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yes I remember your bike rebuild . It's good for the soul a nice bike ride. All that fresh air and exercise gives one a good high . I read myself to sleep every night . At the moment it's *Man: His first million years * Ashley Montagu 1962 ed. A good insight to anthropology.

Guest LilBambi Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 King/Straub ... another great book with that combo is the precursor to this book, Talisman! Another great one was under King's pseudonym Richard Bachman and called Thinner! I have them both ... now I have to get the followup, Black House! Firestarter and so many others of King's work I have read and own ... many in paperback, but even more in hardcover. I have read them all except for the most recent ones. I 'read' the Dark Tower Series of books in audio CD format while traveling for my business. I got them from the Library. I 'couldn't put them down' as it were. Stephen King is amazingly gifted and imaginative writer. Scarily imaginative, but very gifted. I also have Dark Tower Series in dead tree format as well. Link to post Share on other sites
