Really Boring Stuff Only II: Return of the Boredom

[STRONGBADF1]

Chili's is good stuff! Only go once every couple of years, but I like the food. The atmosphere has been hit or miss, though - sometimes the music is way too loud, sometimes the A/C is cranked too cold, but usually it's fine. I got the turkey sandwich for years (and I do mean years), then I tried the Margarita Grilled Chicken and really like it (I always get it without the tortilla strips, so I don't know how those taste).

I had the Margarita Grilled Chicken with some grilled garlic shrimp. (the boy had pizza)

You know the only reason you went was for the "2 for 1 Margaritas".

Just to make sure the above post isn't misconstrued.....this wasn't a blind date.
Doug was there for a father & son night out.

What are you, his attorney?

Isn't Chili's where they hold the membership meetings?

I guess he felt like being the one called "daddy" for a change.

Hey, now. Unless you spill it, beer is never wasted.

Fired up the furnace this morning for the first time this Fall. It wasn't freezing in the house (68°F), but it's going to be cool today, and I wanted to check out the furnace before I really needed it to work. Always nice to see all four gas burners going.

Just waiting for the clothes drier to finish before heading to the store.

Didn't know you guys needed heat there

Just waiting for the snow here, but it's a beautiful sunny day today. Might go for a drive before the toy goes into hibernation.

At least I do. My body is now acclimated to deal with "b***h hot," so 60 degrees feels like the deep freeze anymore.

When I first moved here, I used to make fun of my friend that grew up here that would wear a jacket when it was 60. I was sporting shorts and t-shirts. Now, I'm that guy.

I know what you mean. In the Spring when it's just above freezing, I feel fine in shorts. In the Fall when it's just above freezing, I feel like I need to wear a full body snowsuit.

I drank a Coke-a-Cola. I don't drink with my son in tow. (he had a rootbeer)

I'm so bad at Battlefield 3.

I picked up some of Starbuck's recently released k-cups today. Target only had the House Blend, which isn't my favorite but isn't bad. At almost $1/cup, I felt myself getting ripped off even as I put the box of 16 into my cart.

That said, I tried a cup when I got home, and it was remarkably tasty.

I was pissed when Starbuck's dumped Tassimo as that was the only reason I bought a Tassimo machine. I bought 10 packs of the stuff (12 cups in each pack) awhile back but I'm down to my last pack now

I didn't realize that they stopped making those. Sorry to hear that...well, for you. Sucks to buy something for a specific reason, only to have it go away.

K-cups are convenient, but the price has more than doubled since I bought my first machine in early 2007. They used to be about 25 cents/each. Now they're over 50 cents/each most places. Paying about $1/each for Starbucks was mostly out of curiousity for me.

I'll see how long I can hold out before I dump my Tassimo for a Keurig. I read that Tassimo might be suing Starbuck's for bailing on them.
