    i filled my gas tank, around 2002, at an 'old fashioned' pump, with the mechanical dials that spun around.  i went in, had no cash, paid with a personal check, and the guy took my word that i told the truth about how much gas i pumped and that the check was good.  
    The ice cream shop adjacent to South Dakota State University (1981) had a small kiosk, with stacks of blank checks from all the local banks/credit unions.  Students could just grab one and fill it out to pay for their ice cream, if they were short on cash.
    A different world...
    I used to go to an Italian Restaurant and they’d bring out a big jug of wine and would just ask how many glasses you had at the end of the meal.

    Bump as we now return to our regularly scheduled Zoom programming.

    With the chairman's graces, the virtual watering hole (normal password) will be open this coming Friday at around 9 PM (EDT).  Plenty of seats available.  Hope to see you there.  If interested shoot me a PM and the password will be provided.  Worth the price of admission and top quality entertainment value.

    I have a high level of appreciation for the Mom's dropping off their kids at elementary school right before yoga class.

    It's kind of strange how my morning walks always put me in front of the elementary school between 0725 and 0730 everyday... Whether I do 2, 4, or 6, I'm always there during that five minute range.

    Game on tonight!  Doors open around 9 PM.  As always, worth the price of admission.  The virtual watering hole is in compliance with any rules you choose to follow.  Your own personal bartender will be on site as well.  Drop in and check it out.

    @JohnInCarolina Any chance you can open the doors around 8:30 PM (EDT) to expand the window for @Stormbringer?  I will make sure to be available then even if he goes rogue and has other commitments.

    Sorry I missed the fun last night folks, but I'm glad a good time was had by all as usual.  It must be the sage bartender ;)

    What follows are my sanitized notes from last night's session.  I may have missed a few topics and mangled others so feel free to correct.

    Guest appearance by Winston (DMW's woofer)
    Covid discussions;
    -Trends in the UK and US
    - The availability of high end meats to consumers given restaurant closures
    - Managing students and schools in the UK and US
    - Boy Scouts and camping
    - How living in a mansion provides many social distancing options
    - Can anyone explain or make sense of the financial markets response during the pandemic
    - Managing HIPAA rules and meeting school vaccination requirements
    - Challenging standards for teachers given the multiple ways to reach students
    - Are we heading into a second wave or will we ever see the end of the first wave

    BBQ/cooking related
    -Accessing St Louis trimmed ribs in the UK
    - When did you start cooking to temperature?
    - Boiling water on the BGE (we need a documentary)
    - Personal cook book library
    - The benefits of cooking for family in their setting
    - Source of chicken tenders
    - Pro's and con's of stick burners
    - Preferred composition of burger meat

    Random conversation threads:
    Changing dynamics with communicating face-to-face vs virtual
    Spandex and sweat pants (yes, we went there!)
    Liquor and gambling laws across various states 
    Life as a rock star, playing and hitting the 3rd harmony notes
    Mastering a steel guitar (a challenge)
    Hurricane Delta
    Power seeding lawns and the right equipment
    Introduction to Sundrop and Cheerwine for many
    -"I figure drinking a Sundrop is better than a bidet."
    -"Cheerwine is better than anything you have ever had!"
    Bidet teaching moments
    - The benefits of a heated seat
    - "You've got to be comfortable with your hole."
    Zoom background shots
    The art of the sale; everything I needed to know about sales I learned hustling  discreet business deals in high school
    Smart decisions and the choices we make
    Bass fishing with Eric Montross
    Accessing the forum remotely
    The value of owning a custom van
    The Vietnam War and the draft 
    The value and benefits of the weekly Zoom sessions

    That's all I've got for this week's session.  Same time next Friday.  Drop in and check it out.  No minimum time limit. You will likely learn something and enjoy the give and take.  Thanks again to @JohnInCarolina for producing.

    No worries as we did not uncover any new lessons to be learned but it was a good dialog.  Seems that topic pops up on a fairly routine basis.
