Wow! What a day... after dropping off Charlie at Kindergarten my girl and baby-boy walked with me back to my car. No, no, no driving after NFL games...Damn Seahawks :(

Anyway, i kissed my fam and set off with the day to me self. First i hit up sbux for a triple espresso and a quadruple hog-swallow of their free internet and did a lil steemin'. Next, made a plan to meet a buddy for some curried goat at the Jamaican place, which was a delicious success. Then, a quick debloater ;) and we were back in the Volvo. First stop, Stanley Park looking back at downton Vancouver on a cloudy day.

And guess who i found still conked out in the canoe? If you said @goldenarms you are correct-o-mundo. GA says he's been out on the east coast of Nova Scotia for the last few days, but actually, he's been snoozin' off his hangover from Saturday night! lol

Look, here's the proof, me and GA admiring the view from Burrard Inlet and checking out Lions Gate Bridge

And then?... just like that! Freakin' @raybrockman shows up all the way from Alabama! So we all just hung out and played tunes and talked silver and stuff... good times on a Monday!

After the stop, ray said he was just gonna lounge in the back, put his feet up and look out the back window...i think he was planning something, look'd like he was doing some sweet math ;)

Next up was @bitcoinian getting in on the action...he had his board so me an the boys gave him a lift up to the highest point on Stanley park drive

And let him rip it down the hill... we stopped at 2nd beach for some pull-ups and stretching at the apparatus (i'm on it @phelimint!)
a la vintage SNL..."My arms could lift a smaller damus...lol"
so a good excuse to go over and show GA the fire truck that i remember playing on as a child...

Me 'n GA decided to Pimp that ride -- check us out: A fricken solid silver Hood Ornament! Dat sez Pimp all over ☠️

Well that was enough fooling around, it was time to get a healthy snack. so where'd we go?

Fatburger of course!

IMG_3241.JPG

For, you guessed it

IMG_3240.JPG

Well, that's when @bitcoinian whipped out his new greatest-thing-ever. Last time it was an LED batman logo fidget spinner... but this time:

IMG_3242.JPG

It was a Smith&Wesson tactical, ahem, pen. The tip is designed to hit pressure points and break small bones or glass (windshields) if necessary. Damn, that's pretty cool -- and very much less scary than packing a blade. Plus, if an altercation does erupt, you're probably not going to jail... and, it actually IS a pen. It screws open and Voilá, a ball point pen!

Well after a damn fine burger and a fanta we thought we'd go and hit up a bitcoin ATM. For ease, we just went to the Honeybadger on Granville and Smithe. Here it is:

IMG_3246.JPG

And check this out -- i sold it Litecoin!

Very interestingly the ltc:btc ratio is 75:1
If you think Silver is going to do well against Gold, watch closely this ratio too -- there is no "classical" ratio here but i'll tell you this: there are only 4x as many litecoins as there are bitcoins... so talk about a ratio that's out of whack!!!

Yep! $100 cad for 1.8 ltc

With a few dollaz in my pocket i thought about buying more silver, but instead we wound up going by the spot that has da stuff. I bought a pen too and @bitcoinian bought yet another one that has a specialty carbide tip that looks even more heavy duty if breaking glass is what ya wanna do... don't get the wrong idea he just wants to be prepared -- and yeah, he's hodling litecoins too.

Afterwards we went over to a plaza and @bitcoinian played a street piano while GA and myself checked out my purchase.

IMG_3253.JPG

I've got a great looking end tip on mine -- that point is hard and looks pretty multi purpose to me... but on the other side there is a "tactical stylus" which means, a rubber tip, for using smartscreen tech -- and it works a charm! Easier on the writing arm and hand too, and much more accurate than my fat fingers can achieve. Check out the picture, the writing is on the photograph not the actual piano.

And here it is in the "Smith&Wesson neck holster" lol, but seriously, you're going to think twice about effing with somebody who is carrying that brand. And if you're the person wearing it, it comes to hand pretty darn quick.

IMG_3255.JPG

Well after all the goofing around it was time to chill out for a few hours. Ray took off back to Alabama but he's left me an awesone decal for my car, and plotted with me for what's coming next... @bitcoinian was spent so he took off back up to his crypto-pad and me an GA got back in the canoe. To return the favour of navigating Sat night, i showed him a couple more of my sesh spots and we just hung out dude styles.

We ate some fancy ramen with chicken karrage at this spot i know and then went for a last suckle on the free wifi teet at sbux...

IMG_3266.JPG

After some surfing GA said he was out and did his best Mork: ✨✨👉😆👈✨✨

And poof! He was gone...

Well thaz alright, what a fun day! I'm sure i'll see him soon here

IMG_2647.PNG

And there's no doubt that the Silver Pimp will be posting something here soon

IMG_3184.PNG

And of course tagging it here too

IMG_2547.PNG

Ha! It's all making sense... me an GA keep partying together 'cause we hang out in all the same bars

Good times my friend, thanks for the shot out and displaying that fine steemit window decal. You da man!!!!!

...more pimping on the way 😜

STEEEEM!

You da Steem-Roller!

How long until you post the quickfire question im confused with the timezones, its nearly 6pm here and sunday night is busy getting the kids ready for school in the morning so im trying to do everything with my phone in one hand lol! :)

Hi Owen, it is presently 9:48 am in Vancouver. I will post question in 2hrs and 12 minutes.

Sorry if this is middle of the night for you... i just picked high-noon (where i’m at) as an arbitrary time.

Good Luck!

cheers bud i can relax for 2 hours :)

🏝🏝🏝🚬⚡️✨😎🎧🍺🍕

oh man that was intense! i definately got the answer written down first in the comments! but koloumos just commented and then edited his answer afterwards so he got the earliest timestamp!! bollox cheating scumbags..

Sorry I'm a sore loser, I should have been more on the ball when you said the timestamp would be the decider! But I did have the answer first so I'm still the winner in my eyes lol :-)

always nice to see Steem meetups, in any form!

I love getting a Fat Burger! The best fast food going. How many windows have you broken now with that tacti-pen? I envision you running around granville jabbing at cars and doing barrel rolls for some reason. 😉

What an awesome day!

Sounds like you had a busy day my friend. Say hi to the posey for me

Its like the traveling gnome coin

Pick a honey from the stash and join the fun!

Looks like a great day dude! Glad you snuck in some exercise.

A couple pull ups and over 10,000 steps!

Wicked cool to use a crypto ATM. Looks like a hell of a good day 👍

It's monolpoly money bro ;)

Very true! But, until I can pay for my morning coffee Or weekly groceries with silver bullion or cryptocurrency the monopoly money is a necessary evil!

What i meant is that when it comes fluttering out of an ATM after you've sent the machine crypto, those fiat notes just look all so worthless...but, yes, necessary indeed.

I hear that, brother!

I have a few tactical pens although not this one. However I may have to look into it since I'm a fan of Smith and Wesson.

There were numerous models to choose from. With taxes it was $50 cad
