Happy Bday Ponch!!!
Free Denny's breakfast...
My first job was at a Denny's when I was 16.
I still love a breakfast there.
We used to hit Denny's at 2:30 am after hitting the bars...
"2 eggs over-easy, 4 bacon, extra crispy hashbrowns, and white toast"
When I was halfway through that, and the server came back to check if you needed anything, I would order another plate exactly the same.
Hmmm, maybe I'll have breakfast for dinner tonight...

I worked there in ~86/87. And yeah, it was any meal free on your birthday.
I was there for about a year while in HS.
During the summer I worked the 11pm to 7am shift (which wasn't legal because I was under 18).
Good times!!!
And I did pretty well with the waitresses...
I also ate well! The cooks and I became buddies, and they would cook a "mistake" for me.
I remember having a Chicken dinner, a Steak &shrimp, and a breakfast all in one night.
Not exactly like eating at Morton's or Ruth Crist, but pretty good to a teenage guy making $4 an hr.
I was 17, and very athletic, and involved in playing in a rock band.
Today, that would be enough food to get me through 3-4 days.

Gas went to over $2 right after I bought a brand new Dually work truck, w/454 in 1999.
Phuck me.
Now my 2500 Avalanche has the 8.1 (496)...
You can watch the gas gauge with the tach - they move at the same rate, but in opposite directions

My first job was in a unisex clothing store chain here called Club Monaco, one step up from Old Navy and just below Ralph Lauren. Mostly chicks working, did well with them. Christmas was awesome because they hired 20 to 30 hot chicks. It was a blast!!!!! My parents have a tradition of taking you out anywhere you want for your birthday. Morton's was closed down here, Ruth Chris is 3hrs away in Seattle. A place here called Hy's is closed for renovations. So decided to do all you can eat sushi.

When I was 17 my parents bought me a Miata, it was $12 to fill it in the states. Now the Cayenne goes through $200 per week.

My 560sl has an "economy" gauge. It's been stuck in the red since 2008.

Maybe he was just trying to get out of eating sushi.

So, the wife (still in Minnesota) is going golfing today.
She has never golfed in her life.
She is borrowing clubs.
Not sure what she's doing about shoes.
The gal she is going with wanted to shoot 18, but I suggested she just shoot 9.
I wish I could get video of this!
And for her sake, I hope there are plenty of beer carts.

Hi Ho's! Football season has my brother taking over my TV.
S500 and 420SEL have that gauge. Both are also more fuel efficient then the Cayenne.
He likes it, but he orders more cooked Japanese food.
Golf is a tough game to learn. Grew up in a house on a beach and when the tide would go out it would leave mud flats for about a mile. My back yard was like my own private driving range. Got good at that part. Putting is my weak area.

I golfed for one, maybe two years.
It just got frustrating, and expensive.
That's when I switched to boating. It's cheaper and not frustrating - nothing ever breaks... (insert sarcasm...)
I tried the E-cigs when I was in the hospital (you could use one in the hospital).
If you dedicate to it, I think it'll work.
For me, I'm down to less than half a pack per day. Just have occasional desire for one, and usually only smoke a half cig at a time.
I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult for me to flat out quit. I just haven't committed to it.
