Good morning , it is Sunday , 11 March 07 & my computer did advance the time for the daylight savings time ! one less clock to set ! How ever I haven't taken off my wrist watch to set it , so I am an hour behind , better an hour than a century like the local government , a developer wants to turn an old farm into condos , got shot down by the old fogy's who run the township , no expansion is needed to broaden the tax base , why building will just increase spending for road maintenance & adding stop sighs & traffic lights , why just look at Cranberry Twp ( the township to our north ) , just think of all that pristine farm land that is now paved over full of homes & TAXPAYERS , dumb old men who dont want change , some one better get it through there thick skulls , "the Borg are coming & Resistance is futile" I have been here 35 years now , when I first moved here I was all alone , my closest neighbors where Cows in the field next to me , from my home to the turnpike there were 2 stop sighs going through Cranberry Twp. now there are still 2 stop sighns & 13 traffic lights , shopping centers & car washes , places to eat , drink & get gas , HOTELS , motels & car dealerships , everything from Aston- Martins to dayewoos , what ever the H3ll a dayewoo is , all I know it is small looks like it would fold up if I got in it & hit a pothole at 55 MPH if the dammmm car would even go that fast, I guess it depends on how tight you wind the rubber band hahahaha , ahhh yes Progress in a backward looking community , BUT its home !
on some lighter news , we had a wedding reception of sorts in the shop Friday night , complete with cake !!!!Talk about a DIE HARD CIGAR SMOKER hahahahahahaha , what a mess we left for the Saturday morning crew, hahahaha better them than ME hahahaha !!!
it is a wonderful cool morning here in da burgh , no frost this this morning & I plan on taking advantage of the nice weather today , Barb & her sister are going shopping & I will be headed to the Qtr.Deck , dammmm it will be good to get back out there for a smoke , I did get some time there this past Thursday but not like I have been in the past , I am still a little stuffed up in the nose but nothing like I was last week, dammm I went 3 days with out a cigar , caughing up hard boiled eggs was no fun , that musinex advertised on TV works just fine ! & the adjustments at the chiropractor helped a lot IMHO , extra Vit.C lots of fresh fruit & plenty of liquids , Clean out the system & good to go ( but not to far from the bathroom hahahaha )
I have a pot of Kona working & am on my second mug all ready , I have a "honeydue list" to complete today, need to clean the inside of the windshield, the boss told me she is haveing trouble seeing at night when the other peoples headlights hit the windshield , way to much smoke on the inside , dammmmm there goes my idea of tinting the windows a light golden brown hahahahaha
Did any of you see the comic strip Beatle Balley ? Beetle is on KP asking Cookie if he has started to smoke again, , YOU Mean that Old Cigar ? I just use it for flavoring ! MY kind of Cook ! hahaha
I will be cooking some chicken today, with out the cigar flavoring dammmmm it , my wife wants chicken salad today so that what I will make for her, what ever she wants is my pleasure , IF I want to get any piece & quiet ........strike that,,,, Peace & quiet , well maybe both would fit in this instance hahahaha
the car still hasent gone to the body shop to get fixed from the rear ending it took last month , just no time to get it there maybe this week , But I dont think so , I have an eye appointment Monday , Chiropractor Tue, Wed & Thursday & I need the car over the weekend so Friday is out, next week looks about the same busy evey day , I can get a rental but I hate the little cars that the insurence company will pay for & if I ask for an upgrade the price is more that double what the insurance will pay , I have no problems with that BUT old tight wad the money manager saaid NO way , drive what they pay for & like it, so I am putting it off as long as I can , & if I hit the lottery I will just go get a new one & let this one stay just the way it is !
I was looking at the news paper for a car , & saw a nice looking Town car , complete with Moon roof , 60K on the clock , a 2000 Sig. series , for 8500 & in the next line I read about a 91 Honda Goldwing Motorcycle with 16K for the same price , the Honda is 9 years older than the Town car , & the same price, the book on the town car is 12K & the car is in Great shape, only 1300 miles were put on it last year , all it needs is a trip to the shop for all new fulids & its good to go the same with the Gold wing , but my wife will not go with me on the GW & I dont want to get the TC yet, but it is a great lookng car , I know the guy who has it & he told me he is in no hurry to sell it , he just wants it gone by summer as he has no room in the garage & needs a place for his Convertable that he will be getting soon, so I need to $hit or get off the pot soon , if I do get the town car I dont think I will fix the sable , it is driveable & there is no broken tail lights , I did replace them all ready , the trunk closed tight & so what if the bumper is scrached & dented, shows it worked !
we had a cigar tasting this past week & it went well, Altadis had a tasting with Quintessa & Quintaro , 2 of there lesser brands, nothing to get all excitted about 2 ordinary run of the mill cigars from a cigar heavyweight maker, some thing to fill the shelf, IMHO
the event went well & we moved a lot of product so I guess that is what its all about I want a Pardon anniv. tasting event with free smokes , Kona coffee & single malt scotch tasting all at the same time & on a night I dont need to be working, & be just a smoker in the crowd & enjoy the evening , not having to clean up spilled drinks & empty ashtryas all evening !
well its about that time for me to grab my buddy Don Carlos & go for a walk !, enjoy your Sunday !
