Some times you catch a break

Come on now you dirty bastages it was my MOM's house :devil:
Blue ain't doin it there fo sho!! My house is 2 houses down and I have a nice comfy kingsize bed waaaay back in the hollow. :beer:

Jetty I'd say that is getting pretty expensive. Buy that gal some $5 croakies man....at least while she's on the water! BTW Bimini Bay makes a pretty good Costa Del Mar knockoff for about $20. I just about bought some of those while waiting for my Costas to turn up.

My wife lost her cell phone about 2 months back in her classroom at the high school. Well she didn't exactly lose them, a student decided he would use it for himself. At first he was good at covering his tracks but she eventually busted him by looking at the phone records and the numbers he was calling - other students. I was proud of her for getting the phone back because I didn't have much hope of ever seeing it again. It still had all her pictures and everything.
 
I just bought two (2) pairs of Costa Del Mar $400 !! I use one for driving and one for the boat next season, But I am scared to death of losing or breaking them!!! So far so good!!
 
Funny how thing seem to stay on the bumper. I drove about 20 miles to work one day and when I went to get something out of the back I found my cup of coffee I thought I had left at home.
 
My cheap $30 Calcuttas blew off the other day at the lake...no float-strap...which is WHY I buy cheap sunglasses...funny thing is the next day another pair of sunglasses showed up that I thought were lost a year ago...the last pair of expensive s'glasses I had have been in the bottom of Lake Moultrie for 30 years or so...which is another reason WHY I buy cheap sunglasses...here's to goin' cheap and bein' happy instead of all stressed out over losin' a pair of $200 shades :beer:
 
I say if your happy with cheap glasses, keep it that way. Once I donned the expensive ones, I wouldn't be happy going back. Myself, I like Maui Jim's. The first pair is expensive, but you can send them in for repair and they have always sent me a brand new pair back for the repair price. But ya, you could probably buy a couple pair of cheap ones for the repair price. Also this is not helpful if you lose a pair. But knowing how much a new pair costs, I keep a close eye on my glasses.

Back to the thread subject, "someone" left my beer on the tailgate of my pickup truck when I was moving a few years back. It was still there when we arrived at the new house. Of course I was driving a bit more carefully.:beer:
 
"RKC; and just what was the beer doing out of your hands"

Good point, I guess I had to put the beer down every now and then to make it look like I was helping my buddies move my stuff...

CB->Thanks for your concern, you are right and I will not let that happen again!

One must maintain standards and decorum, but as long as no beer was spilled I suppose we can overlook it this one time.

Wow...there is mercy in V20land...looks like ya caught a break on this one RKC!!...

I keep gettin' a picture of a cop pullin' up behind a PU truck goin' down the road w/a beer sittin' on the tailgate...reckon what'd happen next?...LOL!!...
 
Thanks for the mercy. I am new here and appreciate the break.

I can assure you all that no beer was spilled nor wasted during that episode.

And yes, I was glad a cop didn't pull up behind me.
 
I was a super happy camper for the last 15 years with NO sunglasses at all. In the summer I would come off the water with a headache, but I thought that was normal. Then my buddy offered to sell me his Maui Jims because he bought a new pair so I bought them for $30. They were great despite a couple of scratches. That is until one day I decided to take a nap on the couch with them in my pocket - not the best idea but hey, I need to catch some zzzzzzzz's. Broke those mofos in half at the nose piece and threw them away (mistake, could have sent them in).

So after that I decided on cheap sunglasses. I was going to get some Bimini Bay's and saw the calcuttas, which I liked pretty good so I got the calcuttas for $23. They were fine for the 1st week and the 2nd week. Then we went kingfishing and on the way back to the hill I got sprayed pretty good in the face the whole way back (should have taken my boat LOL). When we got back I stuck em under some warm water, a drop of dish detergent, and gently used my thumb to clean off the salt. The mirror coating came completely off one lense. So that pair cost me $10 per week I owned them. That is when I decided I need the good shades. And like RKC said, once you wear the good stuff its hard to go back. Plus when you pay big $$ for shades you tend to take better care of them, except on Thanksgiving. :hide:
 
This may require a future NE church meeting to discuss decorum and partake a few beverages just to be sure we're on the same page. Seeing how we have more constituents in the area now. I was starting to feel like the lone torch bearer. :beer: **hic* s'cuse me.

Quite a logistical suggestion...I knew I could count on ya, Dawg!!...


Seein' that expensive pair of shades sink into the cold abyss made goin' from high $$ shades to cheap shades a piece of cake... twernt difficult at all... :party:

...and CB...for that NE church meetin'...assumin' it's professionally iced down by one who's well qualified by decades of experience in such things, what kinda beer you favor?
 
The Steel Reserve High Gravity is a no frills buzz. 8.2 % alc. A couple cans of those after a long night at work and I'm sleeping like a baby. We get it around here for $1.55/22oz can. So for $3.10 it's close to drinking a six pack. Pretty good bang for the buck.
For taste, I like Sam Adams Ocktoberfest. Have to stock up on it because its already disappearing from the shelves until next year.
 
Busch Lite for me and for $3.10 you can also almost drink a 6 pack. Head for the Rockies. :news:
Reel when I was 18 I bought an expensive pair of Oakleys. I was chillin in the surf about waist deep facing the beach when a rogue wave slammed over my head and knocked em off into the "abyss" as you so eloquently phrased it. Funny thing about it, moments later I shuffled my feet around in desperation trying to find them and actually thought I'd found them...only to reach down betwix my toes to find an old rusty pair of eyeglasses some old coot lost a year or two before. What are the odds on that?? :oh: After that I didn't wear sunglasses any more, not even cheap ones.
