My wife makes the lists, I check 'em off. I do make detailed lists and plans when taking on a construction project though.
-
I managed a restaurant in Park City for a few years around 15 years ago and the owner/chef was a musician who's band opened up for Cake, the Flaming Lips, the Pixies etc., first time I had heard of any of those bands. I only remember a few Pixie songs and have never seen them or Weezer, should be fun.
-
Going to see the Pixies and Weezer in about 10 days. Frank Black(Pixies' Black Francis) lived down the street from me in Eugene where he met his wife Violet. Just got back from 3 nights of Phish at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA. Great shows and a great time had.

Post a picture of your first ever car
Turk71 replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall Archives
What year is that? My wife's first car was a 68 beetle from her grandpa who bought it new and we had it until 2008. Sold it to a guy who wanted to spend a lot restoring it. -
Post a picture of your first ever car
Turk71 replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall Archives
73 Dodge Dart Swinger yellow with black top. Bought it from my older brother in '79.https://goo.gl/images/Uj5KW2 not as shiny or fancy as the one pictured. p.s. how do you display the picture instead of a link to it, am not too computer savvy. -
On my way to the Gorge Amphitheater in a couple days for Dead and Co and then to Eugene. Have not seen this lineup yet but looking forward to it and seeing a lot of old friends.?⚡? Next to Or. coast for my band's annual 4th of July gig, then 2 String Cheese shows and the Oregon Country Fair. Good start to the summer.☺

My friends and I pelted the MNF booth with snowballs and then gave Dandy Don, Howard Cosell, and Frank Gifford the finger. They pointed at us and laughed their asses off. I was in the section of the end zone that hit Foreman with the snowball. Those are my Bills confessions.
-
I would be shocked if he wasn't on the roster week 1. Murphy hasn't played a game in a long time, and who knows if he will play well or be durable. Shaq knows the defense and he wasn't terrible. He also is on rookie contract. I think they are putting him on notice to light a fire in him.

Well, we didn't all miss it. I said it page 1 -
Report: Baker Mayfield not ready to compete with Tyrod Taylor
Turk71 replied to Domdab99's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It won't surprise me if Taylor has a decent year, the Browns have one of the better wr corps this year with Gordon, Landry, and Coleman, not to mention Nick Chubb, Carlos Hyde, and Duke Johnson in the backfield, and Djoku at te. Definitely a whole lot more weapons than the Bills. They have added more talent to the d and they are bound to turn it around one of these years. -

I think it is because he is gigantic, pretty sure that is an NFL football. -
Poll: Sorry but someone has to...T.O back in Buffalo?
Turk71 replied to Threedollabills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
His 830yds 15.1avg 5 tds would have been better than any Bills receiver last year in any category by a large margin. In fact, he was the Bills leading receiver the year he played in Buffalo. I am in no way advocating for T O and can understand not liking him or doubting he can still play, but your statement is just straight up baloney. -
Best and Worst Off-season Roster Changes
Turk71 replied to IgotBILLStopay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The fa additions were either guys who did not play well last year/s or guys who were injured. I am more hopeful the guys who were injured play well than I am about the ones who have not been playing well. -
Worst thunderstorm you have ever been in
Turk71 replied to Ice bowl 67's topic in Off the Wall Archives
During the blizzard of 77 my friends and I walked 4 blocks from my house to another friend's house through complete whiteout 60 or 70 mph winds. You could not see your hand in front of your face. We made our way down the street from parked car to parked car sometimes missing and walking into trees. We checked every car and if it was open we would get in and regroup, it was so disorienting I will never forget it. It must have taken us over 2 hours to walk 4 blocks. My friends and I weren't thieves and were not in the habit of getting in strangers cars, but this was survival. -
Worst thunderstorm you have ever been in
Turk71 replied to Ice bowl 67's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I was hiking out of the Grand Canyon on the north rim around 8000 ft. and a wicked lightning storm was chasing me up Bright Angel canyon. I was still about a mile or so from the rim when it caught up to me. I was inside the lightning cloud and my hairs were standing you could feel, see and hear the electricity in the air. I thought I was a goner and was saying my prayers. Another time I was playing softball on the south rim when an immense lightning strike blasted a tree just over the left field fence. It was so loud and shocking I instinctively ducked and covered my head. I was sitting on the bench and the electricity came up from the ground through the steel frame wooden top bench and arced from a bolt into my inner thigh. The girl sitting next to me saw it and freaked, evidently she just happened to be looking between my legs, it lasted a few seconds and when it was done a little puff of smoke came from my leg and I had a small cauterized hole in my skin. So I guess I can say I was hit by lightning. Some people there swore they saw electricity pass through people in the outfield. Used to sit on the edge of the canyon rim and watch incredible lightning light up the canyon ripping through the air in every direction. -
Tim Russert - 10 years ago today
Turk71 replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
I read the book, if I remember right he grew up somewhere near Abbott and Woodside. I grew up off of Abbott and my oldest brother went to high school with him. A great journalist and ambassador of all things Buffalo. RIP -
That was 41 years ago for me, had a lot of fun working there. Went there some years back to show my wife from Oregon where I worked as a kid but everything was so different. It used to be such a vibrant area. I am suddenly really hungry for a beef on weck sandwich.

I worked for the Broadway Market manager (my uncle) when I was 15 and 16 in the 70s. There was a small bar, I think across the side street on the same side of Broadway where we could sneak over for a beer. We would get served no problem. Could have been Moe and Eddies, don't remember the name.

Have you ever been arrested and what for?
Turk71 replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall Archives
That seems so harsh compared to growing up in the 70s. Sorry to hear that, glad it is behind him. The penalties are so severe now, we were fortunate to avoid such troubles as kids. -

My friend had an extra Sheriffs picture Id card, drivers license were paper and had no picture back then, so we cut his picture out and took a Polaroid in my yard and carefully reconstructed the card. I used it for almost 2 years before a doorman at Mulligans Sunset beach took it away, it was falling apart. Luckily I got my real one a week later on 18th bday. I don't remember identity theft being a thing back then, a lot of kids had fake ids. You didn't even need id to fly, you could fly as whoever's name was on the ticket. -

How did that work out for you?
