The checks in question are from Aug, & Sept,, he had plenty of time to come in & make them good, I called him my self & got his machine when the second check came back, he hasnt been in the shop since I called, but he did have a cigar in his mouth when I stopped at his home, so I know he didnt stop smoking, well the policy is & will be Cash, check or Plastic , the Bounced checks will be given 10 days to be made good plus 20 bucks & then the check will be placed on the wall in the glass case for all to see the Deadbeats ! Enjoy, Vince
 
well we made an other fine week , I had a great one this past week, ,met a few guys for Lunch & cigars yesterday, picked up a Partagas Serie D #4 KUBAN , which is always nice, had a shrimp coctail & a bowl of chili, what a combo , & talk about GAS ! WOW the wife wanted to shot me more than Normal , I added scrable to the game pack in the computer, & played till 1:30 this morning, it is adictive!, But I was up early 8:30 (not my normal 6 ) for my coffee & Don Carlos #3 , just finished breakfast with the wife & as soon as she gets the kitchen cleaned up a bit I will head back there & start supper for tonight, Home made gnockie, or how ever you spell it, you know the patoto pasta , well I have some chicken breasts & tomatoe sauce Better known as RED GRAVY & a bag of russet spuds from Idaho , so I will get in there & make a mess for my wife to clean up again ! Steelers play tonight at 8:30 so I have all day to cook, smoke , drink coffee & listen to music , life sure is TUFF hahahahaha
Enjoy, Vince
 
Those Partagas Serie D #4 are one of the best cigars I've ever had. And I love gnocchi too. This guy at work went on Atkins and started bringing in all kinds of various things, beans, pasta, vegetables, etc. He lost 112 lbs. in the primary stage before he went on maintenance. I would look at all that great stuff he was whipping up for himself in the kitchen at work and tell him he should become a chef. He really learned a lot about nutritition and preparing wholesome meals for himself on Atkins. After a while I thought about it and said, "hey, we should get you a show and call you The Disappearing Chef." I think by now you probably qualify as a disappearing chef too, no?

Down to 225 yet? :mrgreen:
 
285 right out of the shower yesterday morning, started out at 417, I wish I had the will power to loose the weight like you co worker did , I tryed many times lost 100 pounds or more 10 different times, just kept putting it back on, well now it will never come back, I eat so little now, one egg & one slice of bacon, no toast , coffee, water, lots of water, chicken , turkey, beef, pork , VEAL, ( when they get to close to the fence ) , very little carbs , lots of WATER , some veggies & a little fresh fruit , & LOTS OF WATER ! Enjoy, Vince
 
Now you sound like a verginia slims commerical, you come a long way baby ! hahaha, well it has been a lot of ups & downs weight wise , now I am on my way to live a longer & healthier life, at 417 I was having a hard time getting down on the floor to play with the grandsons, now, I can even get back up with out help ! Enjoy, V
 
Good Morning , its Sunday again, made an other week with out getting my self delivered to the morgue!, got up a little later than I wanted today but it will all work out, we had a little snow last night , so this morning everything is covered in a white blanket of snow & ice , the roads are clear , so that is good, it looks great out there , I made a pot of Christmas blend coffee from Hickory farms & fired up a Don Carlos #3 , it is a bit chilly out on the Qtr.Deck, but the electric base board heat will get it up to 65/70 in no time . I have a small roast beef to make today, just over a pound & a half, big enough for Barb & myself, with left overs for Monday night , the Steelers play at 4 today, & the roast will be out of the oven about 4:30, & by 5:30 I will be back in the Qtr.Deck with a cigar & a cup of decafe, no cafine after 5 pm, I need all the beauty sleep I can get ! hahaha Enjoy, Vince
 
Congratulations on your Steelers 41-7 victory over my Jets. Have a great day. Keep the recipes coming. I was searching the old pages on Spiritus Fermenti yesterday, and ran across your 40 cloves of garlic chicken recipe.
 
They dont play till 4 its still before noon , do you know something I should, hummmm , maybe I should call my bookie !
recipes are ready to go , what do you want, I can email you a cook book if needed hahaha ! Enjoy, Vince
 
You should check my weekly Jets Prediction posts on General Discussion. It's a foregone conclusion. Steelers 12-1, Jets 9-4, and of course we all know what J.E.T.S. stands for.

I would not get down on my home team , why so critical of the Jets? , the Mets & the Nets , you could root for the bills or the giants , & if I had a death wish I could go to the cigar shop with a cleveland browns hat on, No my friend, just pick a team & cheer for them, hey I have a buddy who is a Green Bay fan , & on Saturday he cheers for Notre Dame , never was a student there, never lived in GB, he just like s them, well, his choice . I dont even fallow football much anymore, but this new kid has the entire area fired up, BIG BEN , If they win today he will be the real deal, but I dont look fwd, to a big game today , it is cold & snow/rain mix , bad footing & slipery Football, not going to be a high score today IMHO Enjoy, Vince
 
An other week of coffee, cigars , single malt scotch & and an other Steeler win !, I dont know what I will do this afternoon with out the Steelers playing on Sunday as they beat the Giants yesterday , So I guess I will spend the rest of the day in the QTR.Deck listening to music & sipping coffee & puffing on a fine Davidoff Gran Cru or a Partagas Serie D #4 . I had a pot of christmas blend from Hickory Farms all ready today, & my Don Carlos #3 . it is COLD & snowing here in the Burgh but the temp in the Qtr.Deck is 65, with a long sleve flannel shirt & heavy sox under my slippers I am comfortable , the coffee keeps me warm & the latin Jazz makes me HOT !, how ever it has no effecton the wife , dammmm !!!!!!
Have a great Sunday & Happy Christmas if I dont make it back to the Board this week ! Enjoy, Vince
 
Sorry about your wife and the Latin jazz. Not too many women that can't be aroused by that sort of thing. :dunno: And don't look now, but I think your Steelers are the best team in football. Hey, it could be an Amtrak Super Bowl this year. All Pennsylvania, Steelers vs. Eaglets!!! :mrgreen:
 
An Amtrac super bowl, hey I like that ! we all ready beat them one time this year, who knows maybe twice ! , it got down to 10 below last night , dammmmm it was cold I was having trouble in the Qtr.Deck, could only get it to 52 in there last night, to cold to smoke anything but a petite corona , & drink a few cups of coffee to stay warm, but it will be in the 40's on Tuesday, that means the Qtr.Deck will be in the 70's & I can relax with a few Dbl.Coronas, & a churchill or 2! Enjoy, Vince
 
Yeah, I did five and a half hours of non-stop yard work yesterday, leaf cleanup etc., missed the Jets game and the first half of the next one. I came in and said tomorrow my neighbors will be able to see that while I don't have the most attractive property in the neigborhood, at least it's as neat and clean as anyone else's. Well, we got three or four inches of snow last night, the high today was in the mid-teens, and nobody can see that I busted my butt doing the work of three men yesterday. :dunno:

But like you said, it'll get warmer later this week, and then they'll see it. :mrgreen:
 
12/26, the Sunday after Christmas, I hard a hard time logging on this morning but got throught tonight, it has been a great week here in the Burgh, the Steelers won AGAIN, & it looks like I will get a good nights sleep , I had a few celebration drinks today & a few cigars, the biggest was an H.Upman 2000 Double Double corona, I dont know what the name of it was , but it was as big as a Fuente Canonoe or bigger for all I know , lets just call it an "A ", Santa was good to me & the grandsons , the olest one made me a large plack of his hand prints & the outside area was covered with cigar bands, it will go up in the Qtr.Deck asap!,I didnt need to cook today we have enough left overs to last all week ! Then what ever is left then , I will make it into soup & that will last an other week ! hahahaha !
I am still waiting for my shipment of "Imported" cigars I sure hope they made it through the snow & fire in the mid west.
we are gearing up for New years eve, amiture night as I call it, the one night of the year some people go out & have a drink or 3 , amitures ! I try to do it all the year long, hahahahaha ! oh well I better get back & practice some more, that Bottle of Cask strength Macallen is calling AGAIN ! Enjoy, Vince
 
Congratulations to the Steelers on winning the Super Bowl, and you can never get through one of Vince's posts without getting a tip of some kind. This time it's about the Cask Strength Macallan. I have been eyeing that one for a while as gift fodder, and if Vince is drinking it, I know it's good. Thanks again, buddy, and it sounds like you had a peaceful and fun weekend. :D
 
The steelers havent won the super bowl YET this season, but Dammmm they sure do have a hot hand !!!, I hope they win it all, come Feb.
ahhh yes the cask strength Macallen , like Honey to a bee !, so soooooooooth, so much taste, it paired well with a Bahia Gold maduro Torp, as well as the Upman, , I was going to make a Rusty Nail with it, but I dont want to use it to mix it is so dammmm goooood in a snifter , so I will get out the bottle of Chevis for the Rusty nail, but not tonight, I have had enough to drink, on my new smaller stomach, right now I am at 280 & still loosing, , 80 pounds to go !, I will get back to that lean mean fighting machine I was when I ws 25 ! well maybe not as mean as I was then, but just as lean, 417 back in April, , 413 right before the big cut, 407 after the bowl prep the night before, , Yes thats right 10 pounds of $h!t !!!
well here I am living proof that you can loose 137 pounds in 8 months well ok almost 9 months , it will be 9 on the 8th ! , my daughter can now toch her hands together when she hugs me, she was never able to that before ! , she is 32 years old now , so I have been to big to long ! , I cant wait till summer to get some more of this off, by August I hope to have the last 80 pounds off & the hanging skin removed, then I will be able to see little vinny with out a mirror ! hahahaha Enjoy, Vince
 
Must be nice to enjoy every morning like you gents!
This morning, I am having a mug of Seattle's Best Extra dark roast, with a dash of Ghirardelli cocoa, and a spot of sugar, topped off with a dollop of creme fresh. Since it is 33* outside, I am chilling in the mudroom, enjoying a Torano Signature Petite Corona. Flogging Molly- A Mile Away From Home, is playing softly in the background, as all others are still sleeping. I am still feeling yestardays slow roasted standing rib roast, that was served with a slab of yorkshire pudding, and a bottle of Kenwood Jack London Merlot 2001. I followed that with a La Aurora #4 Maduro, once again, in the mudroom. Think I'll be going light today...gotta rest up for the weekend!
 
welcome switchblade 45 , good to see some one else post back , Bluff & I have been going back & forth for a few years here & on other cigar sites , nice to have a fresh idea here & there , I am old Navy , I had the best job in the service, I was THE COOK , no body ever messed with the cook or the medic, you never know whats in the oatmeal, or in your medical records ! ! hahaha , Now I am a retired Chef, who hangs out at a local cigar shop, the the owner , Bless his heart, gave me a key to come & go as I please , as a matter of fact I am getting ready to go there now & open up for him, he is at home sick in bed ( just got married a few months ago)
so I will smoke for free today & drink coffee on his dime , LIFE IS GRAND ! Enjoy, Vince
