Canadian Buffoon's Sweet 16 Celebration - Update 01/28 - The End

She also nabbed an egg salad
sandwich from the deli.


(Riiiiight about now,
75% of you are going, "D'oh!")

No, I'm saying "Ewwww". I picked Chicken salad because it's the least likely thing that would make me gag. I don't even trust other people's Tuna salad sandwiches, in fact, I'm not sure that I would trust other people's chicken salad either.

We eventually got to the place
listed in the brochure.
The OK Corral stables!

Uh....

Where is everybody?

I was gonna guess they died in the shoot out.

I was pleased to see she didn't have
a six shooter strapped to her hip.

Evidently you have predisposed notions about folks in Arizona.....

She was very nice, though.
She called the stables
and asked if they had room
for two riders.
(They did!)
She gave us proper directions
and we headed back out.
Luckily, it was only a few
minutes away.

Well that's good! Crisis averted!

He had a six shooter
on his hip.

OK, so one guy you encountered had a gun. They have different laws there.

Heck... it's one of a very few
that I've seen!

If you're interested in seeing more (or even holding one) we have a few Single Action pistols as we were in SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) for a few years. It's a group where target shooting and character development were equal in importance.

(It's a western. You mosey in westerns.
Sashaying is for them city-folk.)

Says the guy from the Prairie.....

Bo knows horse riding.
(Bonus if you get the reference.
Or not. Just let me know.)

Is it a TV commercial? Otherwise I got nothing. But I see in comments that it has something to do with sports.

She was very informative
and entertaining.
I was impressed with how
she rode side saddle so she
could talk to us.

I'm impressed!

Eventually, she got tired of riding
side saddle... so she just turned
around... and rode backwards!

I'm even more impressed!

This tourist decided that
'Teddy Bear' sounded nice.
So she petted a branch.

It took Tammy over an hour
to get all the needles out.

:eek: People are stupid. :sad2:

We did see some cacti
with bullet holes in them
from back in the Wild West days.

Interesting. But I can totally see that. Those cacti are old, they only grow like an inch or so each year.

I am definitely not a cowboy.
Besides, I don't own a six shooter.

I've heard that you're not allowed in Canada anyways, but we have plenty enough to cover you....

We stopped back into the
office/gift shop and Kay
picked out some rocks

for a friend.

Figures. I was engaged to a geologist at one point in my life and I didn't pick the rocks... :sad2:

So we went to Goldfield,
an honest to goodness
Old West Ghost Town!

Which had burned down
and been rebuilt in the 70s...

You need to go see Bodie....

There wasn't a whole
heck of a lot to see.
A few buildings.
A few shops selling
mostly tourist crap...
And that was about it.
We were in and out
in fifteen minutes.

I can see that....

Do I make it sound like stopping
in Goldfield was a waste of time?
Well... I suppose it sort of was.
But then again,
it was kind of fun to poke around.

But it cost you and chip and me, points!

We stopped at a Harley Davidson
so I could grab a poker chip
and possibly a T-shirt.

And....

It was closed.

Hmmmm....


Open Sunday until 4pm.
It's... 4:15.


Dang it! Goldfield cost me a chip!

And points for me!

Not long after, we checked into
the Hilton Phoenix Airport.
Sorry, no photos of the exterior.
I did take one in the morning,
but I'll post it in the next update.

You're right, you did a lot of hotel switching!

We were both hungry
and I knew a place
that I thought would be fun.

Interesting place, how did you stumble on that?

But look around.
There's a player piano to the right,
Several xylophones on the ceiling.
Drums along the wall.
And pipes, well, everywhere.

Do they play the xylophones on the ceiling?

He told an interesting story
of when he was a sophomore
(That's grade ten apparently,
for my non US readers.)
he met and had lunch with...
Duke Ellington!
Holy crap!
I was pretty impressed.

I'm impressed too...you had a serious day with impressive folks.

After a few more songs
and a few more stories,
he played a medley of
Star Wars tunes
and, as the organ spun,
it slowly descended
out of sight.

One of the most bizarre,
yet entertaining,
meals I've had in a while.

I can second that! I will tell you that because of this update we ordered pizza for dinner last night.

"Why?" I asked.
"I want to play pinball." She said.

Doh! I suck at this contest, and I wouldn't even think a kid today would know what a pinball machine is!

We walked out with
me humming
"Pinball Wizard".

Are you a deaf, dumb and blind kid?

Poop. I forgot to fill the tank.
They charged me $15 for five gallons.

That's about the going rate here, unless you go to Costco and that was $2.65 last time I filled up.

Car returned...
I just had to call the hotel
and have the shuttle come pick us up.

Which is problematic
when you don't have a phone
that works in the States.
(At least that problem's
been rectified now!)

Well I'm glad to hear that. It should make April a little easier.

Well... except for the poker chip.
And the gas.

:sad2:

PM to come...
 
And.... yeah.
That's kinda the way they
did things back then, isn't it?
Pretty much.
And yet, Folks continually pine for “the good ol’ days”


Feel free to PM.
Or not.
Choice is yours,
but the door is
always open.
Thanks…
I’ll keep it in mind.
Oddly, I’ve been made similar offers a couple times through these boards.
Not having any friends, it is good to know that there are folks that might still listen anyway.


Note to self.
Don't tick off a good ol' boy.
Or girl.
Especially the girls.


You assume I'm not?
I keep looking for you name on the ballot, but it’s just not there.


Dang! That looks way better

Looks like I'll be making it again!
Grits…
It’s what’s for dinner.


I s’pect that a whole lot more folks would consider ‘em if we just changed the name.
Danged South’rn Pride; goin’ and causin’ nothin’ but problems once again


How the events of our youth
have shaped our adult selves.
More so that most anything else.
(and often irrevocably)











I like two types of gardens.
First and foremost, Japanese.
Agreed.
There’s just something very calming about them.
If I had real money, I’d have one in my yard


But secondly
(admittedly, a distant second)
I like cacti.
Also cool, but they wouldn’t do quite as well where I live.
Yet…


Interestingly enough, we went to our local botanical gard en just the other evening for their annual Chinese Lantern Festival. Having no real idea of what to expect, it turned out to be far more entertaining then I’d imagined. And I learned that I need to go back up there during the day to better look at the garden itself.


Stuff to do... take two!
No trip will succeed without a viable Plan-B.
(and it’s best to have Plans C, D, K, R, ect… available as well)


Kay hit up Starbucks
for a peach green tea lemonade.
She also nabbed an egg salad
sandwich from the deli.
As combinations go…
Ummm…
Well, I’m sure she enjoyed it.


I pulled over for this next shot.
Like I said. I like cacti.
I guess, being from the North,
I'm not used to seeing them,
so there's a certain... fascination.

P1030298_zpsadqbh3xt.jpg
It is easy to over look that which seems common.

Nice shot, by the way.
That’s a really old Saguaro and I like that you can make out the holes where birds have burrowed out nesting spots.


The place looked inhabited,
but... you'd think a business
would have... signs?
Unless it’s a Speakeasy…


Apparently, this used to be where it was,
Them varmints done skedaddled!


he was very nice, though.
She called the stables
and asked if they had room
for two riders.
(They did!)
She gave us proper directions
Right neighborly.

I’d say this was not her first rodeo when it comes to this situation.
I have a similar annoyance in relation to my work phone number.
I’ve learned what the actual numbers are for the various businesses that I regularly get calls for so I can quickly tell the errant caller which digits they’ve inadvertently swapped around.


It may very well have been the
first gun she's ever seen.

Outside of a TV or movie.
Surprising…
Or is it?


After signing the inevitable waivers,
Well, at least they didn’t collect a pint of blood from you just in case.
I’d have been more concerned then.


Kay's horse was called Bilko,
“Sarge”


Bo knows horse riding.
(Bonus if you get the reference.
Or not. Just let me know.)
Bo may have known many things…
Too bad Bo didn’t know that playing two sports would make it so that he’d end up playing no sports.


Eventually, she got tired of riding
side saddle... so she just turned
around... and rode backwards!
Don’t we all wish we had that same level of confidence in our coworkers?


The horse... knew when to stop...
So, one up on a teenager then…


in her words,
"Everything in the desert will...
Stick you, prick you, slice you or bite you."
Words to live by.


Not like one unfortunate tourist…

…It took Tammy over an hour
to get all the needles out.
But, having words to live by, does not guarantee that everyone will live by them…


Apparently, one time,
when things were mostly brown,
one woman (whom Tammy would only
refer to as "from the East Coast")
told her that they should
fire their landscaper.
More money than sense


Unhappily for you,
you have to look at a photo of moi.
P1030333_zpssepve0fm.jpg
The best part of that picture is that I swear it looks like your young’en is rolling her eyes.


and stopped walking funny...

silly-walk_zpsf2csgsah.gif
Good morning Minister…
is Mrs. Twolumps is in today?


an honest to goodness
Old West Ghost Town!

Which had burned down
and been rebuilt in the 70s...
Interesting…
We stopped by a ghost town once way back in the 70s…
Coincidence?


Hmmm... Mostly men in that photo.
Odd.
Well at least there are no Martians.


I noticed a plaque
on the church...
IMG_6511_zpsn9fnbash.jpg
Succinct…


Hey look!
Towel animals.
Remember those?
Just remember:
"Everything in the desert will...
Stick you, prick you, slice you or bite you."


We were both hungry
and I knew a place
that I thought would be fun.

P1030342_zpsh1xrkazc.jpg
Liver and Pancreas Pizza?


And pipes, well, And pipes, well, everywhere.

P1030350_zpstet4vaen.jpg
Ohhhhhh…
Well that’s a different story.
(or song, as the case may be)

And pretty cool, actually.


he met and had lunch with...
Duke Ellington!
Holy crap!
Holy crap, indeed.
What on earth would you ask a giant like that, if given the chance?
Not sure I know.
Think, I’d have entirely forgotten to eat anything as well, for trying to listen and take it all in.


One of the most bizarre,
yet entertaining,
meals I've had in a while.
Do believe, I’ll have to consider that experience if given the chance.


We walked out with
me humming
"Pinball Wizard".
Harsh…


(And if you don't recognize that...
I feel sorry for you. :snooty:)
Those folks may get fooled again.


Poop. I forgot to fill the tank.
Hummm…
an SUV with a self-composting natural gas collection unit?


Did you see it?
(Marvin lurking behind the bushes
in the first photo)
Nope…
Missed that one.
I’ll have to go back and find him now.

Close enough!

He'll pick it up again. ::yes::

We'll see. I hope he can do it without damage to him or the bike.

:lmao:

He did drop his wallet.

I think he dropped more than that.

I wasn't, or very little.
Kay was.

Actually...
Hmm.... I think I'll save
that for the next update
(If I remember!)

Look forward to hearing about this.

I would've been happier
if it'd been authentic.

I can understand that. Looks more like a movie set.

Know what I mean?

It was good, but not great. When you put it together with the entertainment it becomes a must.
 


No, I'm saying "Ewwww".

Oooohhhhh...

I picked Chicken salad because it's the least likely thing that would make me gag. I don't even trust other people's Tuna salad sandwiches, in fact, I'm not sure that I would trust other people's chicken salad either.

So it's not a taste thing,
it's a trust thing.


I was gonna guess they died in the shoot out.

:laughing:

Evidently you have predisposed notions about folks in Arizona.....

Which, in my experience,
seems to be accurate
at least 25% of the time.


Well that's good! Crisis averted!

I was a bit perturbed there...

OK, so one guy you encountered had a gun. They have different laws there.

Lady, they have different laws
in your country!


If you're interested in seeing more (or even holding one) we have a few Single Action pistols as we were in SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) for a few years. It's a group where target shooting and character development were equal in importance.

Huh!
Now that's an interesting combo.


And yes, actually I would
be interested.
I've held a pistol... once.
When I was about five or six.


Says the guy from the Prairie.....

City in the prairies.

Is it a TV commercial? Otherwise I got nothing. But I see in comments that it has something to do with sports.

Yes... and yes!

I'm impressed!

I'm even more impressed!

She rode that thing
like I ride a rocking chair.


No. She was better.

:eek: People are stupid. :sad2:

Apparently...

Interesting. But I can totally see that. Those cacti are old, they only grow like an inch or so each year.

I looked it up earlier.
They can get up to
200 years old.


I've heard that you're not allowed in Canada anyways, but we have plenty enough to cover you....

"I'm" not allowed?
Ha! I managed
to sneak in!


You can bring firearms in,
but under strict guidelines
I think.


Six shooters... no idea.

Figures. I was engaged to a geologist at one point in my life and I didn't pick the rocks... :sad2:

Shame on you!
That was right up
your ravine!


You need to go see Bodie....

That place looks cool!

But it cost you and chip and me, points!

So now we both
feel badly.


You're right, you did a lot of hotel switching!

Which is unlike me.

Interesting place, how did you stumble on that?

It was a fairly extensive process,
but I've outlined the effort
and expense and time I put in
here.

Do they play the xylophones on the ceiling?

Yes they do.
All the instruments
are played.
All from the organ.


I'm impressed too...you had a serious day with impressive folks.

::yes::

I can second that! I will tell you that because of this update we ordered pizza for dinner last night.

:laughing:
I keep making you
hungry!


Doh! I suck at this contest, and I wouldn't even think a kid today would know what a pinball machine is!

They are pretty flashy.
Catches the eye. :)


Are you a deaf, dumb and blind kid?

What?
Hang on, need my glasses...


That's about the going rate here, unless you go to Costco and that was $2.65 last time I filled up.

Then I probably didn't lose out
too much by not gassing up.

But saved a bundle
by not buying their
fuel package.


Well I'm glad to hear that. It should make April a little easier.

::yes::

I'll text but not call
if I can help it.
Roaming charges
and probably
long distance.

But... yes!

No trip will succeed without a viable Plan-B.
(and it’s best to have Plans C, D, K, R, ect… available as well)

Or a willingness to just
go with the flow.

Many can't.

Hence the reason you see
so many parents
losing their minds at Disney.


As combinations go…
Ummm…
Well, I’m sure she enjoyed it.

She does love her egg salad.

It is easy to over look that which seems common.

Very true.
I am guilty of that
myself, quite often.


Nice shot, by the way.
That’s a really old Saguaro and I like that you can make out the holes where birds have burrowed out nesting spots.

Thanks!
And I liked the holes
part too!


Unless it’s a Speakeasy…

Valid point.

:laughing: Perfect.

I have a similar annoyance in relation to my work phone number.
I’ve learned what the actual numbers are for the various businesses that I regularly get calls for so I can quickly tell the errant caller which digits they’ve inadvertently swapped around.

True story.
I knew someone who's name was Otto.
Our vehicle insurance is run by
a public utility.
So there's only one.
It's called Manitoba Public Insurance.
But it's also known as "Autopac".

Otto's number was one off from Autopac.

Yes. He did exactly what you're thinking.


Surprising…
Or is it?

Not up here.

Well, at least they didn’t collect a pint of blood from you just in case.
I’d have been more concerned then.

Then only Kay would have gone.

:rolleyes1

“Sarge”

I don't remember
if I asked about that.

I think I might have....
but don't recall.


Bo may have known many things…
Too bad Bo didn’t know that playing two sports would make it so that he’d end up playing no sports.

Yup.
Shame.


Don’t we all wish we had that same level of confidence in our coworkers?

Hah!
Oh... you were serious?


So, one up on a teenager then…

:lmao:

Words to live by.

I kept my hands
firmly on the reins.


But, having words to live by, does not guarantee that everyone will live by them…

I believe @franandaj said it best.

More money than sense

Even if she was dirt poor.

The best part of that picture is that I swear it looks like your young’en is rolling her eyes.

:laughing:

Actually, she was right proud
of herself there.
She'd gotten her horse
to walk backwards.

Tammy was surprised too.


Good morning Minister…
is Mrs. Twolumps is in today?

::yes::

We stopped by a ghost town once way back in the 70s…
Coincidence?

So it was you!!!!!!

Well at least there are no Martians.

Nah. They chase other
kinds of bunnies.


Succinct…

And to the point.

Just remember:
"Everything in the desert will...
Stick you, prick you, slice you or bite you."

And that happened when I paid
the bill the next morning.


Liver and Pancreas Pizza?

Sounds delish!

Ohhhhhh…

Oscar Peterson is?


Do believe, I’ll have to consider that experience if given the chance.

Do!

No, I'm saying "Ewwww". I picked Chicken salad because it's the least likely thing that would make me gag. I don't even trust other people's Tuna salad sandwiches, in fact, I'm not sure that I would trust other people's chicken salad either.

I think we may be related. I had almost the same thought.
 
OMG YES!!! Totally infatuated with him. He was in Columbus in August. I wanted to go see him so bad.

Why didn't you?

Well of course! Material Girl was a good song.

Too bad you didn't get your chip. I bought a HD chip in downtown Vegas for my neighbor who watched our cats.

I was less than impressed.
It wasn't like I could come
back the next day.

And that was nice of you.
He collects them too?

Got it!

I like bacon but I can't see myself drinking this...
It's crazy that they are putting bacon on/in EVERYTHING these days

TBH, that's why I didn't but any.
I was thirsty.
What if it tasted... salty?
:crazy2:
 
So it's not a taste thing,
it's a trust thing.

Well depends. As far as the egg salad, just blech. It smells funny. I don't like egg yolks unless they are runny and I can so them up with toast. When I put hard boiled eggs on salad, I take the ends of the eggs before the yolks taint the whites. I give Fran the middle of the eggs.

With Tina or chicken salad the acceptable ingredients are mayo, salt, pepper, relish, onion and celery. The relish goes in tuna salad not chicken. I have seen menus which have things like almonds, dried cranberries, pimentos, not all necessarily together, but any one of those is a deal breaker.

Lady, they have different laws
in your country!

Yes but California has different laws than most of the country. Our laws are much more restricted, such as you can't just open carry unless you're law enforcement. At least I think so....

Huh!
Now that's an interesting combo.

Yes and they are very specific, there were two classes of characters. It's set in the 1870s, and you could choose a somewhat authentic character or go with a B Western style, as pictured in movies from the 405 and 50s. My outfits included Rhinestones, fringe, mini skirts and lots of color!

And yes, actually I would
be interested.
I've held a pistol... once.
When I was about five or six.

I told Fran about this conversation and she said that there was one on top of the mini fridge in the Master bathroom that was easily accessible.

City in the prairies.

How many people live in Winnipeg?

"I'm" not allowed?
Ha! I managed
to sneak in!

I meant that I thought Canadians aren't allowed to own guns but that's not true because there are SASS chapters up there.

You can bring firearms in,
but under strict guidelines
I think.


Six shooters... no idea.

SASS matches require you to have two pistols (six shooters), a rifle, and a shotgun, so evidently you can get them there. Then again all these mass shootings in the US are not pulled off with Cowboy guns.

Yes they do.
All the instruments
are played.
All from the organ.

Huh. Interesting.

I'll text but not call
if I can help it.
Roaming charges
and probably
long distance.

But... yes!

Perhaps you can get a week long plan. When I was in Canada I got a plan for $1 per day for service. They only charged when I used the phone.

Standing by!

Hopefully you got it!

A sandwich walks into a bar.
The bartender says,
"Hey! Ya got egg on your face?"

lol.


Not that kind of funny?


I don't like egg yolks unless they are runny and I can so them up with toast.

mmmmm.....

One of the reasons I love
eggs benedict so much.
If the egg is over-cooked....

No.


When I put hard boiled eggs on salad, I take the ends of the eggs before the yolks taint the whites. I give Fran the middle of the eggs.

Teamwork!

With Tina or chicken salad

Tina Louise?
Tina Turner?
Tina Fey?


the acceptable ingredients are mayo, salt, pepper, relish, onion and celery. The relish goes in tuna salad not chicken. I have seen menus which have things like almonds, dried cranberries, pimentos, not all necessarily together, but any one of those is a deal breaker.

Relish? Never heard of that one.
The rest (of your "as seen on menus" list)

NO!


Yes but California has different laws than most of the country. Our laws are much more restricted, such as you can't just open carry unless you're law enforcement. At least I think so....

Well, there's one way
to find out in a hurry....


Can I visit you in jail?


Yes and they are very specific, there were two classes of characters. It's set in the 1870s, and you could choose a somewhat authentic character or go with a B Western style, as pictured in movies from the 405 and 50s. My outfits included Rhinestones, fringe, mini skirts and lots of color!

Oh!!!

:lmao:

When you said "character",
I thought you were referring
to "honesty" or "trustworthy".


I told Fran about this conversation and she said that there was one on top of the mini fridge in the Master bathroom that was easily accessible.

"On top of the mini fridge"....

:faint:

How many people live in Winnipeg?

A little over 700,000.

I meant that I thought Canadians aren't allowed to own guns but that's not true because there are SASS chapters up there.

I know.
I was just having fun.


SASS matches require you to have two pistols (six shooters), a rifle, and a shotgun, so evidently you can get them there. Then again all these mass shootings in the US are not pulled off with Cowboy guns.

No. They're not.
And those guns
are definitely not
allowed up here.


Perhaps you can get a week long plan. When I was in Canada I got a plan for $1 per day for service. They only charged when I used the phone.

I can get one too.
I think it's about $15-$20
for the month.
But don't know if it'd be worth it.
Roaming is around $2.00 minute.


Hopefully you got it!

I did!
 
Bo knows horse riding.
(Bonus if you get the reference.
Or not. Just let me know.)
Bo knows baseball and football. Bo also knew shoes.

(And if you don't recognize that...
I feel sorry for you. :snooty:)

I guess you'll have to feel sorry for me b/c I have no idea about that one.

Like...
Public lesson, listen up!
If you rent a car
and decide to "take advantage"
of their fuel option....

Yes, the gas they'll charge you
is cheaper than down the street.

But!...

If you bring the car in with,
oh... say, half a tank of gas...

They'll still charge you
for an entire tank.


Save your money.

I made this mistake the first time I ever rented a car (and it was a truck, so it had a huge gas tank). :sad2: My flight was delayed from Houston to Calgary, and I got into Calgary at 12:30 am and still had the drive to Banff...so I wasn't thinking straight when the person at the counter tricked me into that "deal." As soon as I was driving, I quickly realized that I would have to practically bring it back empty to come out ahead. I got the last laugh though, I let my buddy siphon the tank before heading to the airport. :lmao:hahaha!


1. We have an early flight.
So.... what time do we get up?
5:30 am

2. Security.
Fast? Slow? Average?

fast!

3. Flight.
On time? Delayed?
on time

4. LA. Harley Davidson attempt #2.
Nothing? Poker chip? Chip & T-shirt?

chip and shirt

5. Which way to the beach?
We go to one.
Santa Monica? Venice? Hermosa?

I have no idea -- I'll guess venice.

6. Which Marvel character
(that Kay's in love with)
do we see?
Iron man? Thor? Wolverine?

Thor

7. We go for burgers. Where?
In-N-Out? Shake shack? Slater's 50/50?

since you're in California -- I'm going to guess In-N-out.

8. We see the Hollywood sign.
How long do we spend looking?
about: (pick the closest)
1-5 seconds? 1-5 minutes? 1-5 hours?

1-5 minutes

9. What's for dinner?
Mexican? Burgers? Chinese?

Is this a trick question? You just said you had burgers...so I'm going to assume that means you had burgers for lunch. I would guess Mexican -- but based on your ordering at California Pizza Kitchen, you guys seem to like Chinese food.

Let's go with Mexican -- final answer.

10. We told Kay we'd pay for
one souvenir. What does she get?
Clothes? Books? Candy?

clothes

Bonus: Did you see it?
PM your guess.
Posting will result in deductions.

Yes -- I PMd you earlier.
