My father hauled steel for that project. They would chain the trucks to bulldozers, put the trucks in neutral, and the bulldozers would clank their way down the steeply pitched haul roads to the gorge floor.

Davis Webb calling plays for the Broncos
Ridgewaycynic2013 replied to Desert Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
If guddam Hackett can keep getting coaching jobs, so too should Davis Webb! 🤨 * I think I should print that on a T-shirt. 🤔 -
A boss lured myself and a coworker into a Saturday overtime repair job, with the added incentive of his buying breakfast. The coworker said that this supposed biggest breakfast in Hamilton wasn't able to be finished by mere mortals. Coworker went pale when after I had finished mine, I took and ate a slice of his toast. 😁 * Some of these food challenges are outrageous.

Good Night / Bad Night - Pre-season Game 2
Ridgewaycynic2013 replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Listen, pal, everyone eventually needs insurance. And like a good neighbour, Jake Fromm is there. 🤨 (Offer not available in certain areas of Florida and California.) Remember, it's not a final decree until Schefter chimes in. 🤔🤨 -
THIS BILLS TEAM NEEDS TO WATCH ROCKY 3 NOW!!!!!

Only a 'FOO' would do so. -
With two large bingo halls in town, service clubs that sponsored each session were able to greatly fund club activities. Youth sports fees in town were much cheaper, thanks to the underwriting the bingo games funded. The prize values offered were much higher than could be paid in NYS, and there was a faithful contingent of bingo bunnies taking in two or three sessions. When the last "BINGO" of a session was called, there was a mad rush out the door as the players headed off to the next hall.

Hell, yes! Well into the late 90s, and possibly even early 2000s I was paying 25 cents for those in the vending machine at Tops Grant Street. The weekly run when gas and milk was cheaper in the States, and a pocket full of quarters. If I got a 'dud' team, there were plenty of NFL fans at work to toss them to. Chester was a real Green Bay fan, and when I gave him a Packer helmet he was stoked. 😁 * Wacka's posting about the Liberty Hotel and grove in Cheektowaga in the preschool thread got me thinking about the tradition of the company picnic in WNY. For eight years I worked at CPM in Alden, and for at least two or three years there was a company picnic at Weimer's Grove in Lancaster, at Broadway and Bowen Rd. Before the end of the 80s, that land was sold, and developed into housing. As a kid, I think my parents schlepped me to just about every volunteer fire company picnic in WNY.

Can anyone remember anything from their pre school?
Ridgewaycynic2013 replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall
I had a suspicion it might be a grove sort of gathering place. Many a WNY business held company picnics at such venues. Steve Cichon profiled Liberty Park in 2018. https://blog.buffalostories.com/torn-down-tuesday-cheektowagas-liberty-park/ -

Where was that? WNY? -
Someone might need to educate him on regional salad dressing protocols. Blue cheese = good. Ranch = meh.

Wut? * Watching the earlier clip of St. Brown reminded me of the line from 'The Other Guys'.

Sounds like a made up name from Seinfeld. Like 'Joe Mayo'. 🤔🤨

Preseason Week 2 - Post Updates Here

I have absolutely no reason to doubt your reasoning. I was just reflecting on how many times the forum was scratching its collective head over Elam's continued sitting on game days, until the team finally decided to part ways with him. -

Closest I had to preschool was the half day kindergarten in the Buffalo Public Schools. At least with the afternoon session, I could watch the morning reruns of the CBS comedies, then hide between the sofa back and wall in an attempt to miss school. Never worked. 🙁 I recall the teacher for kindergarten who started the year went off early on some sort of medical leave. We had a constant churn of various teachers, some were rigid taskmasters, some handed us crayons and paper and left it at that. First grade straightened out the situation, and I still recall 60 years later the homeroom teachers, and once we hit 6th grade, the various teachers for the core subjects. -

Tremaine Edmunds was proofed for age when buying a beer at a Lake Forest, Illinois 7-11. A second photo ID was required. 🙁
