A Happy & Blessed Easter to all ! I hope the Easter bunny was good to you & left you a lot of eggs to find this morning, I think he was playing a joke on me , my phone rang at 6:45 am , wrong number, , a few minutes later the person who number was being called , called me to ask if I had recieved a call for them, I told them yes , she said sorry she had just moved into the area & gave out my number as hers, , I bet a lot of single guys are going to be ticked off when I answer the phone hahahaha ! , all the numbers are the same but the first one , , , now she must go back to all the mens rooms & change her number on the wall ! hahahaha !
I started out the day a little late this morning, with the phone call at 6:45 , it was 45 minutes later than My normal get up, I had hoped to sleep in till about 9, but that didnt happen, so I made a pot of Kona at 7:15 & went to the Qtr.Deck with a Don Carlos Robusto this morning not a #3 , I dont know why , but I did , great smoke lasted just over an hour , long enough to sip a big 20 ounce mug of coffee & get one refill about half way finished .
I have the ham in the oven , but we are going to my sister in laws to eat today, I am giving my self a break from all the holiday cooking , for 35 years , everyone has been comming here to my place, Thanksgiving , Christmas, Easter , 4th of July ,Memorial day,Labor day,, you name it I was cooking for the day, well I have taken a short but well deserved vacation from holiday cooking for the family, & it is about time I sponge off some one else for a change , over the years I cant tell you how many turkeys , hams lambs, racks of ribs, bushels of corn , Veal breast, steaks , hot dogs & burghers I have made & never asked anyone to bring anything with them , not even the beer, but now that is changing, you want beer, Bring your own !, how ever I will contune to supply the fine cigars & single malt along with the coffee, , some folks still are drinking maxwell house & hills brothers , better than nothing but I like a little better cup my self, & why not treat my self to the best , who is drinking this anyway , ME , so if I want Peaberry , thats what I drink. ( end of short rant )
I will be the host at "On the Boarder" a new tex mex place in Cranberry Twp , starting Monday, they will be opening Thursday, so this will keep me off the streets between 10 & 4 , the cigar shops I go to are all open in the evenings & with the price of gasolone ($2.75) a gallon I dont think I will be driving all that much to go out & sell , more phone work from here on out, , but I hate phone sales , I like to put the cigar in your hand & let you enjoy the aroma , feel the silky wrapper, enjoy the taste & look at the "nice ash" , pair it with a cup of great coffee & a wonderful old single malt , yea baby thats living !
the yard will be getting a rake & a hair cut soon, it is the only thing I dont like about the good weather, & cutting the grass is not on my list of fun things to do, yes I do have a rider, & I do smoke a cigar when I am cutting grass, but the rider is loud & I cant hear the radio when I am on it, i have a set of head phones but I get the engine static sound with them on , so I just do with out , no whisky when I am on the rider, dont want to spill the drink !
well I am about ready to head back outside for more coffee & a second smoke of the day, dont know what I will have , but I am sure there is some thing on one of the humidors that will call to me soon ! hahaha Enjoy, Vince
