Fireside Chat… A beautiful evening! 

[@shirleydittman6376]

Have you visited Ted and Jolene?

[@truecrimelover61]

glad you asked him...we have not seen them or heard about them. thx

[@Tatman1212]

Some of these questions are quite interesting. Don’t you think Tim would’ve told us if he visited his friends? Just something to consider.

Shirley, you are clearly not deserving nor worthy of being part of the loving community of Sarasota Tim. His community does not tolerate Hate and those who dwell in darkness. Goodbye 👋 .

Today at NB Park was the Dragon Boat festival. It's for breast cancer and other cancer survivors. The people in those boats have had some battles.

[@SarasotaTim]

Oh? I see. Thank you for that information. I’ve seen banners before for different charities. They have events for at the park, including walking events. Thank you again. 😎

1968-1978 baloney or salami in a brown bag for school lunch.Half the time it would not make it to school,lol.

[@SarasotaTim]

Haha those were the best sandwiches I ever ate in my life! 😎

[@TRDOffRoad2020]

@donfrazier4186 That sounds like Larry Mondello on Leave it to Beaver 🤣😎

[@saul_bloom]

Charles taught you lessons that are just about absent in today's society. You lucked out, I'd say.

When I worked constuction back in the 70's, the food truck that came around to the jobsite was called Munches Lunches

[@SarasotaTim]

Ha ha I think of heard it called that too😎

[@AllenMcCarty-vx6js]

When I was in the military it was called the gut truck and it would visit us out in the desert 😂

[@Tatman1212]

When I was younger, they used to call those food trucks “roach coaches “😂

[@brads2330]

@@Tatman1212Back in the day we ate off those Roach🪳Coaches. Used to feel sorry for the lone employee working them. People used to steal cigarettes and food as they didn’t use cameras back then. Always wondered if he or she was held accountable for inventory.

[@chrismichaels4291]

I got no need for a dually! I’m always looking for trucks and when I noticed it’s a dually I’m bummed!! They serve their purpose, but it’s a purpose I have no use for. I don’t need the two extra tires to have to maintain and they charge you more for tolls! I can relate to some of these stories working with my friend when I was young! He would bring me on jobs. I didn’t have the best relationship with my dad, but I have nothing but fond memories of my grandfather. My mom’s dad. I was fortunate to have him until I was 30.

[@Tatman1212]

Hi Tim. I’m watching your fireside chat on Sunday morning. I got myself tied up in a movie last night and couldn’t stay up long enough 😂. Like many of your subscribers commented, this was one of my favorite evening chats. You have done in quite a while. I love the story about you and your stepfather. I had a similar situation of my stepfather did not come into my life until I was a junior in high school. I was pretty independent with my friends at that point so I missed that nice window of that you spoke of with your stepfather. Amazingly, my stepfather’s name was also Charles and like you, he treated me like I was his own flesh and blood. When he married my mother, he inherited four kids with the deal. And also like you said, I had a better relationship with him than I ever did with my own father. Step parents can be one of the greatest gifts. I have done quite a bit of tile work in my life, though not a professional tile setter like your stepfather. I love your description of what it was like back in the day. Your stepfather was a true artist and craftsman and the word professional was an understatement. It is a lot different these days because the products I have changed, and in my opinion, more tile work fails than it used to back in the day of your stepfather. They even have some peel and stick tile that you can put on walls today. You know that’s not gonna last forever. I can tell by your description how much you’ve loved Charles. It warms my heart and makes me reminisce about my earlier life. You crushed it tonight, Tim.

Just watched the S&W video and it motivated me to take a trip to the local gun store. Not being a gun owner or any experience with a firearm. I was surprised at how comfortable I was with holding it and decided to order one. Salesman said that all of sudden he got more orders for that particular firearm and didn't exactly say how long it would be before mine would be shipped.

[@SarasotaTim]

That’s great! I’m sure you’ll like it.😎

[@hockeymomWA]

I think a Yellowstone trip would be amazing 😊

[@sharonedwards-kk1pd]

My mom wrapped my dad’s sandwich for work with wax paper, too. They must not have had Saran Wrap yet. And no Ziplock bags yet./I’m glad that you had a good stepfather.

[@Mamma-Tex]

Aww love the wax paper wrapped sandwich memory. And the “billfold” 🥺 Thx for sharing ur childhood mems. Sounds like my family. Yes the roach coach was the predecessor to the now trendy Food Truck 😊

[@TRDOffRoad2020]

The white bread with bologna with mayonnaise and warm. OMG, worst experience ever. It was at a daycare like 1979 maybe, we were served the sandwiches with warm milk and watching the Price is Right, I'll never forget. I was so sick not long after, I assume food poisoning. Never went back to that daycare, never will eat those sandwiches either 🤢🤮🤣

[@SarasotaTim]

Glad you enjoyed the story Mamma-Tex. 👋😎

[@Tatman1212]

@@TRDOffRoad2020 it’s amazing how a certain food product can affect you and stay with you your entire life. I have those same memories of brussels sprouts, lima beans, and liver. 🤮

[@TRDOffRoad2020]

@@Tatman1212 those brussels sprouts, tried and tried 🤮, can't do them either as that automatic gag reflex kicks in 🤣😎

[@dronesandstuff61]

Can't wait for the video. Those are the two I'm looking at. Bodyguard or LCP Max both look perfect.

Black coffee ok for fasting bloodwork 😊

Thanks for that tip, I wish I would've known that. I just had it Monday and had to go a too long time without coffee. 😂

[@SarasotaTim]

Oh yeah? 👍 😎

[@Tatman1212]

But it has to be cowboy coffee. Any cream/sweeteners will mess up your labs. Black baby black!

[@FallHammer2012]

We hit 35 degrees today here in Northern Indiana. Heat wave compared to where we have been. 😂

[@Tatman1212]

Coming to you from Southern Wisconsin I agree on the heat wave of anything above freezing lol

[@Rick-s4d2f]

Tim did Santa forget the tire chocks on the camper I see he let the stabilizers down.

[@SarasotaTim]

Tire cholks are worthless. That thing isn’t going anywhere with those jacks down and the tongue sitting on that bucket. I put them there one is on there. I think one is on the other side. The wind keeps blowing them away.😎

[@stevemunn-tp2xm]

Tim it’s always great to see you and JJ and Bev together can’t wait to see you guys hangout and shoot some guns and you playing golf. We need to see JJ start playing too that would be great to see. Looking forward you at the villages 👍

[@stevemunn-tp2xm]

Hey Tim had to chive in again what a fantastic story about your Dad. He sounds like a great man that took care of you and your family. My step Dad also raised us like his own. He had a painting company and also had three restaurants. He was a hard worker and showed me and my brother and sister the values of life and hard work. I do remember the wax paper with a Bologna sandwich and watching the roach truck coming in the the horn blasting man what great memories tonight running through my head. Thank you so much for that Tim and you are absolutely right we only have a short runway in front of us so in joy the time we have left ❤️

[@TRDOffRoad2020]

@stevemunn-tp2xm ....and you're never promised tomorrow, bless you, brother 🙏

[@Timshull]

Looks like a nice place you have there Tim. You need a partner buddy you should try some online dating apps might make for some interesting content???

[@Tatman1212]

Online dating is a nightmare. I’m speaking from experience after trying it many many times. I don’t think Tim would enjoy that process very much. It’s a nonstop cycle of trying to figure out if people are being honest or not. It can literally take up your entire day.

[@vannpatrickjr1353]

A good breakfast

[@shereecarey9781]

Oh my gosh, I use to use wax paper to wrap my husband's sandwiches and his boss would say wax paper, my grandma used it. My husband loved the wax paper because it became his plate to put his chips on that I would pack for him. Yes, my husband work in the trades and so any home improvements we did at our home I was the grunt runner, help with feeding the wire through the conduit. He was an electrician but we did it all at our home. I can't say enough how this reminded me of my husband and how would tell stories. Yes, I know what a roach coach is but he would eat the lunches I packed for him. Thank you for the stories and it brought back memories for me and how my husband would tell his stories You had a great step dad!❤

[@SarasotaTim]

Sheree I’m glad you enjoyed tonight’s fireside chat and my story of working with my stepfather. You are such a great addition to the community. I just love your comments ❤️😎
