Sunday Morning Smoke

as long as you have an internet connection & garlic , with a side of rye your good to go ! , me I guess I need the same connection, coffee, scotch & the grandsons , GARLIC & CIGARS are a way of life here !, Anything to please the taste buds ( with in reason ) & the more I think about it the further down on the list Fugo gets , at one time I wanted to taste it , but now I dont want to risk the side effects of it , to much going on to pass it up for a little bite of raw fish , no matter how good the stuff is, it cant be better than what I have now ! ENjoy, Vince

Sunday 10:24 AM, I had a wonderful evening last night & it went till early this morning , hahaha not what you thought , I wnt to bed about midnight & slept till 9 this morning, ahhhh yes an entire night with out a phone call , or a grandson wanting a drink of water , NOTHING hahahahaha it was a great night , the window was open the fan was running at a slow speed & I was snugled in & did hear a thing ! it was a needed relief . so this morning I was feeling fine, went out to the herb garden picked some Basil, chives ,organio, & rosemary, diced it all fine & dropped it on a scrambled egg, ahhhh the perfume of the fresh herbs is intoxicating, ( just what I need hahaha )
I will be making some ravioli later today , it is cool enough I dont mind cooking today , overcast 7 rain is the forecast for today, so a little pasta might be just fine today.
I have been using a dial up service ever since I got a computer, well Monday between 8 & noon the teck will be here to install High speed Internet,Enhanced Digital cable & digital Phone service , the old dial up is just to big a pain in the @$$ , they are selling memberships faster than they are installing equipment to handle the load, , I am way out in the sticks, & I have been on a satalight for the TV, No cable here to get, well that changed & now I can move into the 19 th century with a few changes, , , still 200 years behind the rest of the country !

Went to the park in Rochester Pa last night there was a live BIG BAND JAZZ concert , a 20 piece band playing all the great music from the 1940's , & the best ting about it , IT WAS FREE !!!!! the music was great, the singer was HOT !& the band could play, 2 hours of Glenn Miller, Dorsey Bros, Stan Kenton, Duke Ellington, Count Basie ,Bennie Goodman , ahhhh it was a great evening , I sat there with my wife & we sipped coffee& danced in out seats , to dammm lazy to get up & dance hahahaha

I dont know what happened to the coffee rotation this morning the Kona was not up front , so I am having a Sumatra blend( light roast) 50/50 with an espresso roast Kenya AA , I got carried away with the aroma of the coffee as I was gringing it , , but the taste didnt live up to the aroma , for some reason it seamed a little flat & lifeless to me, like I didnt put enoughcoffee in the pot, but I used 8 large scoops to 48 ounces of water ( at 195 F) in the Freedom press pot , let it sit 4 minutes & press , Oh well next pot will be better I hope, but it is the last time I mix these 2 coffees, , it finished both of them & the CostaRican Peaberry is next , it will match up well with the Diamond Crown Maximuss I have pulled out of the Humi for the morning smoke today, I havent had a cigar as of yet this morning, just getting the lazy old bone moving is a chore anymore hahahaha

I hear the clock from my wife room , playing the I love Lucy theam, that means it is 11 AM , time for me to get off the computer & get some thing constructive done , YEA who AM I KIDDING hahahaha !
Enjoy, Vince

YEP, & for the first 3 years I had a 28.8 modem that you put the phone receiver on to it to use, , Now this one has a 56K internal modem , so much nicer, now when I get High Speed, Dammmm , what am I going to do with all the time I save , watching the screen load , no more free cell or spider solitaire waiting for the mail to come in ! hahahaha , Enjoy, Vince

I do like the 18 but they alway leave me wanting some thing stronger , maybe its just me but every one I have had have been on the mild side for me, granted they all came out of the same box, so maybe the box is just a misrepresent ion of the line, corona size , so maybe that is the problem I do like the bigger smokes , next box will be churchills or a double corona .


Enjoy, Vince

I have a box of the 18 churchills, PM me your addy and I'll shoot one over.[/quote]

Who called me a mooch??? hahahaha Pm sent !
Enjoy, Vince

I have never been one to hide behind my computer screen , I have lived here about 33 years & dont plan on moving anytime soon, no matter what site I post on I give my address right out in the open ,& I sign everthing I write , I never hide behind a mask , why would I need to hahahaha!!
Every one is welcome to stop for a smoke , a drink, coffee or let me cook for them, I grew up in my Grandmothers Bestro & no one ever left hungry or thursty , I learned that a LONG time ago & try to teach my grandchildren the same things I learned from my grandmother , Dammm I still miss her & both of my parents as well as the rest of the grand parents , aunts , uncles & cousins , with my grandfather being 1 of 13 I have cousins all over the place , even dated one untill we found out we were related hahahah, yes we are that close to west virginia !hahAHAhHAhaH

Enjoy, Vince

No shell fish? how will I serve the raw oysters? no tobacco? no booze ,??, NO pork !!!! , that reminds me of a joke , a Rabbi & a Priest were sharing a cabin on a train & when they were talking the Priest asked the Rabbi had he ever had Pork? & the Rabbi told him since it was just the 2 of them & no one was listening he had had pork & the priest just smiles a little self serving grin & a few minutes later the Rabbi asks the priest since it was just the 2 of them & no one was listening , had he ever had relations with a woman , & the priest said , well yes he had had relations with a woman & the Rabbi said to him Hey buddy it was a lot better than PORK wasnt it !
But I digress , the binladen clan & his friends are welome here as long as they check there guns ,bombs & hate at the door . I am not a history student or a Bible scholar , but if my poor over worked scotch soaked brain remembers much of anything , some place inthe Bible , (please dont ask me ware), the story is about a man with 2 sons , Jacob maybe, one son was a Jew & the other was Muslum. , both were his sons & he loved them both , I come from a diverse family history & background on my Fathers side it is German Lutherans & Jewish roots , on my Mothers side , it is a mix of Scotch -Irish / Russia , Italy & Americn Indian( I asked my grand mother what tribe & she said no tribe, just a wondering Indian ) hahahaha
so being raised in the service industry I would try to make everyone welcome as long as I am treated with respect , they would get the same , HOWEVER do they wish to do any harm or damage , I will be more than happy to take my cane & shove it where the sun dont shine !
The coffee is ready , how do you want it , Black, cream & sugar ? I like mine with a little drop of whisky ( just for the flavor) hahaha Enjoy, Vince

I will call you when they get here , dont forget the lace hahahahaha !
Enjoy, Vince
