POLL: Can you drive a manual transmission?
BuffaloBud replied to ExiledInIllinois's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Learned in my mid-teens long ago on a 3 speed (yes - 3 speed) Chevy Monza. Had my permit taken away from my mother after stalling out the car 3 times on a very slight incline. Dad took me out and just let me practice on how to slip the clutch. Nailed it the next time out with mom. Then progressed to driving manual transmission fire trucks - no issues. Went to Germany fall of 2017. Realized that they now have hill assist clutches so no clutch slip. Back in 1987 went to Australia. Had to stop and think a bit to see if the pedals were reversed like the steering. When I get in a car with manual trans, my heart brightens up. -
What is your favorite breakfast cereal
BuffaloBud replied to mead107's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Mix of multi grain and honey nut Cheerios. -
If I remember correctly, OSU Wexner Medical Center recently changed from Red Cross to an “outside” company for their blood supply.

What snacks and food are you doing for the Game?
BuffaloBud replied to mead107's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I live by myself and I'm getting tired of eating food that requires a spoon (soup, chili, stew, ...). I'm thinking of doing a brisket (> fork) and some mac/cheese. The unfortunate thing is that I'll have to cook the brisket it in the oven. No smoker and grill buried in snow at the moment. -
Are you an introvert or extrovert?
BuffaloBud replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Fully understand where you are coming from. You'll find the time / place / person. -
Yes and do so quite often. It doesn't take much time. Plus, occasionally the Red Cross will have some sort of donation back to me (CBJ tix, gift card, ...)

Homeowner by myself. I mow my lawn, clean snow, simple car maintenance, take care of the house (clean, cook, etc), tend a veg garden, some house maintenance, take care of widowed neighbor's lawn. Essentially as much as I can.

I've got an Oakley Timebomb watch that I got as a gift. I wear it when I go out / special function. Other than that I have a Garmin activity, Swiss Army day/date, and Swatch chrono watches.

Do you let your adult children sleep in your bed?
BuffaloBud replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Negative, no way, never. -
My neighbor is a vet. He preaches about getting a mixed breed dog - lots less issues. One alternative is to look at a local chapter of a service dog training center. Some of those dogs do not pass the final grade outs and become available for adoption.

Anyone with some positives dealing with the Big C?
BuffaloBud replied to Shamrock's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I was diagnosed with melanoma 15 years ago. Was caught very early - fortunate. Thoughts and power to you Positives You learn a lot about yourself and what you can deal with / tolerate You develop an appreciation for simple things You will love your nurses / doctors (Take care of these folks as they have to work with this every day) When finished with your treatment you will be a proponent for research / treatment PM if you need to talk. Stay strong. -

Yes - PVW is one of the "golden" whiskeys. In OH they have a lottery in order to purchase one of the limited quantity of bottles.

Report: Jets to pursue Jim Harbaugh for HC
BuffaloBud replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Best thing is for the Jests to go a different direction so OSU can beat Jimmy down each year. -
Good deal that you have Buffalo Trace on hand. Have to be at the liquor store when it arrives here in OH to get your hands on it. Highly recommend the Woodford Reserve. Another good one, out of Utah, is High West.

I've used AirBnB personally once. Chicago area - 2 nite stay - $80 a nite. Clean, close to the train line, couldn't ask for more. My folks rented a flat in Williamsville for the month of August a couple of years ago. Turned out awesome.

Van Miller Estate Auction
BuffaloBud replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Schultz and Dooley steins would be interesting purchase. -
The change of season (limited amount of daylight) may have something to do with it. Make sure you are getting enough exercise. Monitor / limit the amount of alcohol. Melatonin is a good suggestion. Meditation is a good mechanism to help with your sleep.

So I put in an offer on a house today
BuffaloBud replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Fingers crossed Kirby. One tip from my paternal grandmother when I bought my first house. Don't start a project with the house until the first one is finished. -
