Hope she's alright.

 

It really sucks but I think our porch light won't be on this year it's just a very bad idea during a pandemic.

 

Thanks, I’m sure it will be fine in the end, but she feels like crap now whatever it is (and it could be anything!). 

 

EDIT: She still feels like crap but she tested negative for COVID with a 24 hour response time. I’m still keeping my distance, however! 

 

Our situation is kinda funny, we have this complicated photoelectric deal on a timer. We are both afraid to mess with it for fear we will need to hire a grad student from Georgia Tech to come get it back to where we currently have it. We even had one electrician give up on figuring it out. The lights will be on.  No need to poke the bear! 

 

I just don’t see it as being worth it this year. Of course, our youngest is 27, so he won’t be nagging me!

One of my cousins has a birthday on Oct 31. I remember going to a birthday/ halloween party at her house.

We had a Halloween party at our 12 guy house in college in the early 80’s. MASH was all the rage then, so a lot of people came as MASH characters. That meant a lot of syringes which were eventually used to shoot shots across the room to open mouths. There had to be over 100 people there with countless kegs, and our accuracy was not very good. It did not improve over time.  I’m shocked we didn’t burn the place down! 

 

I also had two Golden Retrievers in that house, and we didn’t own a vacuum cleaner. Factor in all the spilled beer, and the guys performing “agricultural experiments” on the fire escape, and I’m not surprised that it was briefly condemned when we moved out. 

 

BEST PARTY EVER! Followed closely by 1980 Olympic hockey in the same house. What fool thought it was a good idea to rent college kids those BIG TV’s?

Thanks, but there are multiple lights, each with 4 small bulbs inside. My thick, stubby hands have a really hard time changing a single bulb. If my wife is over whatever she’s suffering from now, I’ll suggest that to Little Miss Piano Fingers.

I cannot publicly comment on something illegal, which I may or may not have contemplated.

Probably leave a bucket of the good stuff on the front porch and count on them being supervised and responsible. Last time we did that they even stole the bucket! 

 

Make a Bowl On A Pole...

As to how we are giving out candy... for years we have tied a bucket of candy to a rope and dropped it off the balcony while the kids walk up the front step. Shares the crap out of the kids and the parents love it.

 

Will be doing that again this year obvi.

Oh my gourd!

My daughter & wife are going over her cousins house in west Seneca & my son who is 16 is going to a party so it is just me Saturday so I am going to hopefully get a round of golf in Saturday morning & then I decided I am going build a fire in the driveway in the afternoon, bring the tv out to watch college football, drink about 20 beers and I decided to put a table out by the side walk with all sorts of candy & just tell the kids to help themselves.  I don't care how much they take when it is gone it is gone I guess.  & besides after all these kids have been thru with this pandemic crap they deserve some extra candy!  Oh yeah I think I am going to smoke some ribs too.

The subject line explains this nightmare of a year: Halloween planned it.
