You can probably make a Roethlis-Burger at home, blindfolded, with a cigar in one hand, and a single malt sitting close by.
A BOTTLE of single malt, hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Heyyyyyyyyyy Vince, back to your old radio days, huh? Too bad I wasn't up early enough. It's possible that since you're at the end of the dial, I might've been able to pick you up on one of my battery powered units. And he says he's going to keep the language clean, but then he mentions pancakes with bananas and blackberries. Ahhhhhh, what a card!!! Yes, it's warm and humid in the Northeast folks, as much here as where Vince is. Same climate, just moved over about 400 miles, is all. Listen to me, "is all," like I'm from the country or something. Yeah, I'm from the country, I'm from the Republika Socialistika Newyorkova. Don't forget buddy, when the kids start getting to those nerves, a couple shots of the good stuff will help like nothing else.
Yup, a couple shots apiece, and those kids will be out for at least a day, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Have a great Memorial Day, everyone, and remember, give as much as you can to worthwhile charities, like VFW, etc. God bless them all. We wouldn't be able to sit around and complain about our nation so much if it wasn't for guys like Vince and so many others on this web site. Hopefully, the second half of '09 will be better than the first. If it's not, what Bob Grant refers to as "this once great republic" will be nothing but "the republic that once existed on this terrain."
God bless America.

I pulled out the sunday paper & there is a story about the school district merger in Monaca ( the shop is on Penna. Ave in Down town Monaca ) & Center Twp, the residential /Farm area arround the town , well Center Twp has a 1% mercantile tax , Monaca has NONE , well the people of center want to add all the business's in Monaca to the tax , & the mercantile tax has been rulled illeagle by the state coart , BUT Center twp was grandfathered in to let it stand, well now thay want to include us in the tax after the state court said no more mercantile tax in the state but we will let stand what is in place right now, , & since the school board in Center is the BIG money behind the merger into the new district they want to control the shots, taxes 7 run the new board, well a few who are from the orginal Monaca school board are up in arms about it & there is a LOVE /hate , relationship between them, this merger should have happened years ago but the people in power didnt want to give it up, , its still the same , , the boards just cant get along , , kind of like the congress ! BUT I am getting away from the story on the paper & the tax, , , , it seams as the local news paper sent a potographer into town for some photos, Low & behold , there we are on the front page , , taken from a distance mind you, but the Stars & Strips , POW & USN Flags are standing proud in front of the shop as I am sitting in a lawn chir talking to a few customers outside , puffing a Don Gonzalezes Maduro Churchill, sipping coffee & passing away the time with TONS of B.S. hahahaha just like any other day .......

One of my Favorite "cheep "single malts a 10 YO called Spayburn is being discontinued by the Pa. state run , monopoly no nothing , not caring over priced under educated, "STATE " employees , well for years it has bennin the 25 dollar range & the price jumped a little while back , but it was still a bargain at the new price , IMHO anyhow, well the sales declined & now all stock is being sold out at 15 BUCKS a bottle, , I gave my brother in law 45 bucks & had him pick me up 3 from the shop he works near, & I went on a tour of the county & bought up all I could afford , Now I have a small storage space problem , BUT I will be sipping single malt for a long time to come hahaha ..............
Coffee this morning was a fine pot of fresh ground Kona made in the press pot, with a little distraction it brewed a few minutes longer than the normal 3/3.5 minutes , more like 20/25 today, BUT it was still GOOD, a little cooler than I like it , BUT I did get the newspaper way from the wife for a few minutes hahahahaha .............

Hmmmmmm, so now Vince is a "public figure" around Monaca way. I'm SO glad you got that deal on the whiskey, Vince. I remember back when PFSGoldenEagle helped me get in to bourbon after a friend had introduced me to it nearly ten years ago. It seems I got in to it at just the right time. Amazing bourbons were being offered at ridiculously low prices, and the cream of the crop of certain bourbons, too. When I see what the Hirsch 16 is going for these days, it makes me cringe, considering the highest price I ever paid was $44.04, inclusive of shipping. You have to stock up on those bargains, Vince, because we are in Jimmeh Cahtuh II here, and it's going to be way worse. Hal Lindsey said a few months ago that some big shot financial dude had predicted certain things in the past, and is predicting job marches for 2011, and food riots for 2012. Stock up on that Speyburn buddy, you'll need it to keep your sanity as you watch the nation you fought/cooked for intentionally self-destruct.
Have fun pulling the Sunday pork with the wife. Should be very exciting. It's the first time since the Magna Carta was signed that she hasn't had beef on Sunday, haaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Good Morning it is Sunday 7 June 2009 ,a GRAND day here in da Burgh, , the weather is PERRRRFICT , I dont want any mental pictures forming to gross anyone out But I am sitting her at the computer with a cup of kona & in my BVD'S & a big smile , ahhhh its comfy ......., I dont have much planed for today other than getting out the hammoc & Enjoying a few cigars & sipping a lot of coffee & single malt whisky , & speaking of whisky , I have been all over the place visiting a lot of the state run , poor service no nothingstock boys who are STATE retirement employees, & could care less about the customers BUT want to be coddled by the state retirement board, yea Vince tell us what you think about the Pa. wine & spirits shops , well these BOZO's have decided to stop stocking my go to LOW PRICE single malt , No more Spayburn, 10 Y.O. , a nice highland malt with a touch of heather in it , Not the Flavor profile of the Laugavulin I love , but at the DIFFERENCE of 50 Bucks a Bottle ( 25 VS 75 ) , I will take 3 Spayburns to work for the Moochers & leave the Good stuff at home for the moochers who just happen to stop buy with a cigar or 2 for me ! so Now i need to start to check out all the scotches all over again to find a cost effective alternative to the Spayburn, Dammmm this research is tuff on the liver & the wallet hahahaha
Locally the little town of Rochester Pa , ( just accross the river from Monaca ) & between Freedom & Bridgewater , if you have the energy to look it up on a map, well the center of town has a Strange intersection with a BUNCH of different roads comming in at different angles & none hitting the intersection at the same crossing points so it is a mess with traffic lights & some times it will take 2 entire minutes to get a green light on the main street , well the county transit athority has a great idea to put in a traffic circle , allowing only right turns , you just drive into the loop & get off when your at the street you want , with out ever stopping, $1.8 MILLION , for the project, ( now this is before Cost over runs & all the graft & payoffs are made to the land owners, politicl bosses & unions , so who knows what the final cost will be just because some one's wife was late for her hair appointment ( geee its great to be married to some one with pull that can spend the taxpayers hard earned money to save 2 DAMMMMM minutes at a red light , feeding at the public trough is getting costly to us who fill it ............. , I had a letter to the editor published in this morning's Beaver County Times I dont know what is worse, the payoffs to the polititions or the money we spend on wellfair ...... Get a Frigging Job you lazy Bums ( this is directed at the political establishment ) as for the wellfair people , dammm its tuff out there the polititions have screwd up almost everything , but you second & third generation of living on wellfair & public assistance,with bling arround you neck, driving a benz & & having a cell phone along with your food stamps, well people the time has come for your LAZY @$$ to get a JOB also , dammm I was in a great mood when I got up this morning, must have been that dammmm Patragas Series D #4 I had first thing this morning instead of my regular Don Carols #3 ....... hahahahahaha
Breakfast this morning was wonderfull, , , , grilled english muffin , covered in melted swiss chees topped with tomato, bacon & a fryed egg, & all that covered with a Red bell pepper relish , Heaven on a plate , next time Just a touch more hot peppers in the mix ........ the woodchucks AKA ( groundhogs ), chipmunks, rabbits, squerrels ( rats with furry tails ) are all over the back yard this morning, the bird feeder is drawing a ton of visitors & DAMMMM the wild bird seed is killing the cash flow, looks like the birds & wild life are going to get off the public assistance & have to Find JOBS to get there OWN food ..................
I switched to a pot of moca java , the kona was grand but over powered by the partagas, as wll as the Moca jave being over powered by the same cigar , but I have a white lable monte ready for after lunch & the moca java will be fine with it , I just wonder if I will be able to taste it after the Partagas ....................
we had a great week at the shop, got in a few new sticks , the Rocky Patel spring line with Pa. Tobacco in the blend is selling well, I did ENJOY ye ole Winter blend, that DARK wrapper with the bright band, it was a real smoke ! , the nice green band on the spring line is Ok, but not as Stunning on the Eye as the winer blend.
I have a pair of rib steaks in a light minarade that will be hitting the grill some time this after noon, , No pot roast this sunday * (DAMMM thats 2 weeks in a row) , but we are back to beef, I will also roast a few ears of corn on the grill & have a little of the red pepper relish mixed in the butter for the corn, YUMMMMMMMY
School out for the summer, the grandson s are happy & sad, all at the same time, dammmm how could that be , happy that school is out I understand, but sad , Dammmmm i guess its a communication thing, they cant talk face to face , dammm they dont do it now , with twittering & Texting , My grandsons are in the same room & dont speak directly to each other, unless its on the cell phone text. , well our parents didnt understand us, so why do we think we would be any different !
Enjoy, Vince

Good Morning , it is Sunday 14 June 2009, a Fantastic morning here in da Burgh, the temp is cool the wind is light the sky is blue & the grass is green, , what more could you ask for ? , Breakfast is over, we had a 3 cheese omlet with a side of bacon, a pot of kona which has been replaced with a pot of Moca java, I have found that the moica java tastes better when you have the kona first, sort of opens up the taste buds & wakes you up, ...... the first cigar as per usual was the don carlos #3 , soon to be Fallowed by (just to compair) a GOD OF FIRE , , I have a great day of cigars planned for today, after the GOF I have a 92 vintage Rocky Patel "A" size that a buddy sent me a box of for Christmas , it is the LAST one in the box , hey I made it 6 months , with out smoking them ALL , I am using the box as a lap dask to do my caligraphy practice on, , got to get the hand & eye along with the brain to start working together, , hahahah yea like the brain ever did work hahahah after that I have no idea what is in store for the taste buds , what ever it is I am grilling a few rib steaks today , ***3 weeks in a row, NO POT ROAST ***** but now I think she might be hooked on a Sunday rib steak, well what ever makes her happy, 39 years this August, no reason to through in the towl now hahahahaha
I spend last evening working at the radio station in Beaver Falls , Pa 15010, 1230 WBVP & 1460 WMBA out of Ambridge Pa , same programing on both stations at the same time , there was a car cruise & over 1800 cars trucks, quads, choppers ,dirt bikes & one motorized bar stoll were prowling the streets of the city, it was a GREAT time
Last friday night we had a Bagpiper playing at the shop, , in full kilt & all, dammm I know why they walk when they play, its hard to hit a moving target ! , so we "ENJOYED" if thats what you want to call it the music ( if thats what you want to call it ) hahaha , But we did enjoy a bottle of Scotlands finest LOW PRICE 10 Y.O . Single malt , Spayburn, & about a QTR. bottle of 16 Y.O. Laugavulin ( I drank it myself, didnt share it , cheep bastard that I am ) , I think there was a hocky game that night some thing about the Stanley Cup & the team from Pittsburgh beating the redwings on there home ice , just like they did here in da burgh last hockey season, But I am not much of a sports fan when I can have a fine cigar a pot of coffee & a snifter of goooooooood Whisky & a little music I am one happy camper ..... I have a few errands to take care of, I hit the lottery for 3 Bucks , so I need to go cash in my winning ticket & spend my additional 12 bucks on this weeks loosers ( 15 bucks a week is what I play,) & its different numers each day, I should play the same numbers every day , but there are so many numers to play hahahaha thats why its called gambling, If I hit , well GREAT , if not, no big deal ....... the grandsons are out of school for the summer, all ready getting on there mothers last nerve , ahhhh yes payback time for her, as she did the same thing to me that I did to my parents it all comes full circle !

Well, having read this now at least two, maybe three times, I finally have the time to reply. What's all this about steam locomotives, bikers, bar stools and stool pigeons in the streets of Da Burgh? Did it have anything to do with that hockey stuff? Don't worry folks, pretty soon we'll all be tooling down the street in motorized bar stools. After all, they get more miles to the gallon, ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
The weather in the Northeast has been pretty fine by my standards, at least temperature wise. NYC has gotten at least four times the normal amount of rain fall for June, and the temperature has been at least five degrees below normal. There's talk among the folks who supposedly know, that the Northeast will not get a true summer this year. That's fine by me, as long as we get a true fall and winter. Of course, we should all be careful not to fall in winter, because the ground is so cold, it will feel harder than usual. So, Vince is smoking a God Of Fire, or is he just a god of fire? One never knows.
What we do know is that Vince is definitely a god with fire, because of what he can do in the kitchen, and there are tens of thousands of ex-Navy guys that can attest. And Vince will be giving the rib eye a little test from now on. Certainly can't go wrong with Mocha Java, perhaps not as fine a cup of coffee as Jen You Whine Hawaiian Kona, but it sure will wake you up, and a nice, exotic taste always accompanies good mocha java.
Not much going on here except trying to avoid homelessness, but it appears that I may finally be starting the job that will save me next Wednesday. We'll see. In the meantime, don't smoke up all those cigars, Wilburrrr, football is less than three months away.
Speaking of which, anchors aweigh!!!

Sun again, that's 20 for 21 days of June. We had a pesky cloud with a few drops of water here on Thursday. Soring to about 100° today.
I'm starting off with a CAO Cameroon Belicoso, then off to the Shriners Onion Festival, maybe a Harley ride, and another cigar later.

How do from Seattle East, where we've had 20 out of 21 days WITHOUT sun, or something like that. The sun comes out occasionally to tell us to eat some Jimmy Dean's breakfast sausage and then goes right back behind the clouds.
Vince, if you think those grandsons are hard to handle now, just wait. Pretty soon those grandsons are going to be playing in the NFL, or dancing in the Joffrey Ballet, something like that, and you wait until they come home and want to sit on Grandpa's lap at Thanksgiving and tell him what they want for Christmas, haw, hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
I hope everyone enjoyed the first day of summer. Here in Seattle East, the first day of Mud season was as humid as a steam bath. Thank God it only hit the 60's. If it had been in the 80's today, the city morgue would have been working overtime. I think humidity in New York is really double whatever they say the percentage is. Some day scientists will discover that the air in NYC turned in to a completely different compound during the summer months. If you've never felt the incredible energy drain that comes from excessive heat, humidity and pollution, come to NYC. Heck, everyone's coming here for everything else, you may as well come to find out what World Class Discomfort feels like. Come to New York, and feel the drain on your wallet, and your life forces at the same time. Leave feeling as though you've just ridden a thousand roller coasters, and got dumped out like a sack of potatoes at the end of the ride.
How'd I do on potatoes, Uncle Vince? They're still talking about Dan Quayle and that one in this town. People can't get over it, 21 years later. Anything to demean a Republican, but it doesn't matter any more, because they're all Demmicans and Republicrats now. Speaking of politicians, we've got to get Vince to run for Mayor of Monaca. Come to the cigar shop, get drunk, caffeinated and fleeced, a three for the price of one deal. No longer will politicians make back room decisions in the hallowed halls of monolithic buildings constructed for self-important ideologues, rather those decisions will be made in the back room of a cigar shop. Hey, at least there's a better chance of hearing the voice of the "little people," right, Vince?
Hark!!! Speaking of little people, I hear the sound of trampling hooves, or is that Vince's two grandsons beating a path to his door?
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Good night, David. Good night, Chet.

I dont think they will be in the NFL , the younger of the 2 is as thin as my dad was ( 6-10'190 pounds) the older one might be big enough but he is the paino player , & has no desire to even play catch with a football or base ball, , he sits in front of his computer & writes music, then plays it, , erases it & starts agin, who knows maybe a Duke Ellington or Benney Goodman, he has given up on Bach & Mozart for the most part, but I do here a little classical here & there in some of his riffs ... as far as sitting on my lap, well since I made a lap for them to sit on now they tell me there to big to sit on my lap, dammmmmm I made you a lap to sit on , you better get over here or you might regret it later...... it hasent worked yet ! , 11 & 13 where did the time go I feel just like I was in high school myself & now the oldest is getting ready to go to JR High , I look in the mirror & wonder who that OLD GRAY haired guy is ...... he looks like I should know him but he is looking a lot older than he should !
