RUMPLATIONS: Awesome Honky Tonk and Cyber Bar

Quote by Suburban_Housewife

I just want to step inside, perch my ass on a barstool, order a cocktail, and wait for a man to come talk to me.

Well, I ain't no man – I'm a Polar Bear, but I am a male. Will I do?

I'm also the Bear-tender around here, so what can I get you, milady? First one's on the house.

Welcome to Rumps Susan.

What you drink for March?

I'm Fuzzy the anicent lion and I pop in early most morning to mostly spin tunes.

Bearkeep put Susan's drinks on my tab (pimg)

Welcome to Rumps

☘️

And with that bit of housekeeping done, let's get Tunes-day started.

Actually, I'm kind of surprised that Lion hasn't already been in and started.

So …

Lights on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up and we’re ready to go.

Tea Kettle is refilled and ready. There are pots of Yorkshire and Irish Breakfast teas available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.

Big Bertha has been cleaned, rinsed, and refilled, and is ready.

Today we're using 454 Horse Power Coffee from Kicking Horse Coffee Roasters

I've put out donuts.

Plus I've got some chocolate S'Mores kinda thingies.

Take care out there, 'K?

Hiya, Susan! Welcome!

If you are looking for company, feel free to venture into Storeroom 4, where I keep an assortment of playmates. There’s a particularly handsome Frenchman in there.

Morning, Rumpies

Was back to work for me yesterday. Boo hiss.

With a Bear sighting @ Rumps

I'll turn the jukebox on

1st song to celebrate 100 days to

Hey Bear it's hard not to enjoy newborn barn kitties so you beat this ancient lion ...

Juniper has taken to being a happy and loving Mum. Quite vigilante with her nuggets

I am now on vacation countdown. One month until I head out.

Good morning and a warm welcome to Susan. Ape hugs available if needed. Don't be too intimidated by all the wildlife in here. We are all friendly.

Welcome back, Kimmi!

Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been MIA for a week or so. Work has been insane ever since I got back from the islands. The good news is that I finally finished my next story and submitted it for approval.

Grabbing a mug of the 454 Horse Power Coffee, adding splash of cream, taking a deep breath, and starting another full day of meetings. Fun.

Have a great day everyone!

A warm welcome, Susan. 😊 Occasionally, Brits frequent Rumpees too. A mug of Yorkshire Tea, please, Bear. Thank you.

Another sunny day here, 16C and, yes, I'm still wearing shorts. Sorry, Seeker4. 😎😎😎

Hoping Ape notices this I'd love to see his take on Jefferson Starship & Marty's input with the band.

☘️

Thank you, Lion, for tuning us into Hump-Day! Much appreciated.

And just to celebrate one of the sounds of my youth – Neil Sedaka: Breaking Up Is Hard to Do

And, of course, while he didn't cover it, the Tokens did, Sedaka wrote: The Lion Sleeps Tonight:

Sleep well, Sedaka. I doubt you'll be back this time…

Sedaka was a part of the soundtrack of my youth, even if I never became a real fan. His music was just always there.

Good morning. Pea souper out there. Hoping it clears a bit before I head out. Fog has been strangely common recently, probably due to our ever shifting temperature.

Later, alligators.

1st In @ Rumps guess what y'all?

Its Thristy Day

Lights On

Big Beautiful Bertha waiting

Today a nice spring day turning to storms rolling in by midnight sticking around for a couple of days thru Monday next week

I'll start our morning music with

The Doobie Brothers

Listen To The Music

Lights are flipped on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up and we’re ready to rock 'n roll.

Tea Kettle is refilled and ready. There are pots of Yorkshire and Assam teas available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.

Big Bertha has been cleaned, rinsed, and refilled, and is ready.

Today we're using Balzac's Canadian Maple coffee blend.

I've put out … cream filled cuppycakes and peanut butter cookies.

Take care out there, 'K?

'Morning, Lion!

How are the barn kitties doing? All healthy and happy?

And the Blue Jays are back, having reloaded for Bear. Well, not for me so much as Dodgers and Yankees.

And so far have a lousy Spring Training record.

Let's see how that all plays out!

Morning Bear

Thanks for asking all kittens healthy and they found their lungs!! Bless their tiny hearts

Morning, Rumpies

What’s a good movie on Netflix or Prime? I started Frankenstein, but abandoned it. Was disturbing to me. I need something good since it’s gonna rain for next week here.

I watched latest Night Agent and highly recommend it.

I do love the hole … in the record … in that photo, Lion!

And thank you for getting things started! Why, I'm so grateful, we're going to knock a whole 5% off this month's tab!

Hope y'all are well and happy.

Kimmi, if you haven't already watched it, try The Thursday Murder Club. It's English, it's quirky, it's on Netflix, and the cast is to die for.

Or try A Good Woman on Prime

Not sure if you'll find it because it's a Canadian movie, but Peace by Chocolate, I think on Netflix, is quite charming.

A slightly older movie starring Reese Witherspoon, Sweet Home Alabama. Predictable rom-com, but still fun.

Oh, and I've put a new sign out front, in case anyone's interested. There's nothing like truth in advertising – and that's nothing like truth in advertising!

Ooh, we really enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club. Helen Mirren is fabulous!

My mood has improved significantly this morning. Could be because my man is on a plan waiting to take off and come home to me.

TGIF all y’all.

Morning Bear

Lion Out

☘️

Good morning, all. Another here who likes the new bar sign. 😊

Films – I don't watch films so often now, but one I did enjoy was How to Train Your Dragon. I know it was meant to be a children's film, but it made me chuckle. Certainly better than the latest Jurassic Park film, which is the only other one I have seen recently. After a few sunny early Spring days, we have fallen back into what feels like winter. Yes, rain.

A mug of Yorkshire tea, please, Bear. Thank you. 😎

The Trees

Damn, I missed Trees! I love that song. Seriously. Great band. Arguably the best drummer EVER. And just a small part of an amazing catalog.

Check out Sinners. I think it’s on Prime. I’ve got a feeling that it’s in your wheelhouse.

Happy Friday, Rumps! I am sooooooo ready for a weekend, it’s not even funny.
