I did not go to SLUT last night. Instead I selfishly chose to spend a night at home, something I have not done recently.
In the grand scheme of things my spending $2.39 for coffee using nothing but coins — eight quarters, three dimes, one nickel, and four pennies — will not change the world. However, for a brief moment it brought joy into my life.
Greetings from Penn State!
Its a very pretty campus.
Went to a few places Allan used to frequent, will hit some more today before we head out to the campground.
Met a few hashers again last night that we had met at interams, and Hedons.
Pub crawl was fun.
It’s been over twenty years since I made my one-weekend visit to State College, but I remember enjoying my stay.
Prior to our (cancelled) trip, I took my spare change to the counting machine at the Publix. I had over $120!! It would have been more, but I use cash so little anymore, I rarely have change.
I tried to go pick up my tractor parts from the dealer in Barnesville after work yesterday. The Google said they were open until 5:30, but I found the gates locked at 5:12. Pissed at not calling beforehand. Grrrrrr.
Got the bill for my stay at the horse pistol. $95k with $71k worth of discounts. $24k bill of which I paid- $100. Wow.
-FP
Was “horse pistol†an intentional word play?
I fear bills like that because I have an inkling they are in my future and, *at the moment*, I have good health insurance.
Yes, one of my favorite word plays.
Ours is the best insurance program the bank offers and it’s worth it, IMHO.
I hear a rumor about some footie watching down my way tomorrow?? We’re in- just let us know when to meet up.
Steve and Paulie, yes that’s all the info I have right now from Ashlye. Two Crabs also said he may stop by for a pint.
Head Nurse and EM can’t come.
I think we are going to a place called The Alamo in Newnan. Game starts at 5pm EDT (not EST as their site claims 😡). I *assume* we will arrive there about 30 minutes prior to ensure a place to sit/stand. Having never been there I don’t know the crowds it draws.
Whoa!!!
I see what you did there. 🙂
The whole 95k with 71k worth of discounts, that so crazy.
Just have a reasonable price in the first place.
Not supposed to arrive st camp until 2pm, if we get there earlier I’m sure we will get put to work. I hear there’s 110 or so registered.
Trail tonight at 5:30 & then dinner after.
Tomorrow trail starts at 9:30am with a long bus ride.
Rumor has it food will be amazingly good for a camp out.
Agreed, which is why I hope I don’t have go that route too…
Please take photos if possible, I’ll beg my FB proxy to let me see the fun you are having.
😠If you’re nice to me, Paulie…
“spending $2.39 for coffee using nothing but coins — eight quarters, three dimes, one nickel, and four pennies”
seriously made me smile
Also coming here to share your PSA for the day. College football fan? The hall of fame downtown is free all month long if you have the Chick-fil-A app.

That is all. Have happy weekends, ITP-readers!
Eating ice cream at the Penn State creamery.
You can major in ice cream (aka food science)
Claim to fame…. Ben & Jerry learned all they know here.
And bought a Penn State T-shirt. I broke my no new T-shirts rule.
That rule is stupid…
I have plenty of T-shirt’s. I need to get rid of some to get more.
Free ones don’t count, but still….
I know you hate coins Paulie so I’m sure you were excited to unload it as well. 🙂 I get excited as I use found quarters to pay for the majority of my Moonlight hashes (I’m sure Sani hates me…).
College dairy stores are the best. Nebraska has a good one and Wisc-Mad has a very good one. Something about Land Grant universities and Ag programs. Surprised UGA doesn’t have one. Doubtful you will ever find fresher ice cream that you didn’t make yourself.
