Why sir, thank you, and that's one of my favorite Sly tunes. Their music was among the stuff I grew up on.

Lost in translation
Hello to all the fine Sunday evening. Today was a very good one. I go t to sleep in late as I fed the littlest of the kids and fell back to sleep with her so I left the wife to get up with my son of 2 and watch him while Hannah and I caught more ZZZ's. Then off to the store with a large cup of joe to buy food for the week and stuff to munch on in the after noon while watching Football with my brothers in law and without the kids or wife ( life is good). We enjoyed the Pats beating the snot out of the Fish and marvel at the soft hands of Randy Moss. The team loks really good until the last quarter when they lost interest and let the fins feel good about themselves and get a score or two. Then I went home to cook some good old chicken marsala for the amily and now its time to enjoy anohter beer and watch some more football. I love Sunday's in the fall.

Good morning to all it is a cool crisp morning here in da Burgh we had a touch of frost this morning & the trees are looking fine the reds & golds of fall are everywhere, the grass is still green & needs cut one more time but it will soon be November & thats late in the year to cut grass, but since I dont cut the grass anymore ( my wife has taken over the duty 100% ) , I used to ride the yard tractor & cut the wide open spaces & she would use the push mower to get into the places the tractor didnt fit , well she decidied that the yard just didnt look as good as it could when I ride , so she wants to cut the entire yard by hand, , , , , , so be it , let her do what ever she wants , now I have a 4 year old 16HP 42 inch cut lawn tractor sitting in the tool shed , I think I might take off the cutting deck & get a set of tire chains & a plow , then she will say the walk way looks better when it is done by hand & she will take over that job also hahahahahaha !!! ,
Since the weather has a little chill to it , I am going back to the Sunday POT ROAST , the cast iron dutch oven will get a good workout today , it saw little use over the summer & now it will be catching H3LL till spring, I also have a pack of smoked ham hocks & a bag of beens, looks like I have the making s for Soup !
the coffee this morning as it is most Sundays is Kona , & I have a pot of peaberry from Tanzania all ready to go in the second pot & I plan on spending all afternoon in the Qtr.Deck with my buddy Don Carlos III & maybe a nice contraband Churchill later after the pot roast , with a splash of single malt & a little espresso , maybe a nice piece of dark chocolate to go with it all, dammmm I am getting wood just thinking about it hahahahaha !
it was a good week at the shop, the alarm system got fixed, we were getting all kind of false alarms from the motion dector , it was going off & the doors hadent been opened , the only way that could happen is some one has to be inside the place when the alarm is set, but since the doors lock from the outside & you cant open them from the inside if they are locked who ever is in will still be inside when the police arive , well no one is there & the doors are still locked tight , the program on the alarm shows what time the doors open & for how long they are open , drives the alarm company nuts in the summer when I block the door open hahahaha , that reminds me we need an old fashion screen door next summer , maybe that will help keep the flys to a minium, , since the entry door swings out we will need to putht escreen on the inside , with a big spring on it to pull it closed , & make that sound I grew up with of the screen door slamming into the door jam & my mother yelling DONT SLAM the DOOR , ahh yes I miss that ! hahahaha
I have been looking for a new car or pickup truck for my self, but I just cant find it in my heart to get rid of the Sable, it has 156K on it, & on my last tank of gass I got 22.2 miles per gallon , I just hate to get rid of it , I looked at the new Dodge Dacota pick up & the full size ram , both were nice , & I looked at the ranger & F150 , & they were nice, the lifetime powertrain warrenty would be the factor there , & I looked at the fushion , taurus & sable as well as the escape & explorer, the Durango & avenger, the malibu, Impala & monte carlo , a few Pontiacs & so far I am at a cross roads , I want a Cobra cant aford it or a Jag, so the lamborginie is just out of the question , BUT I did see a used benz last night that I could afford but it had more miles on it than my sable, so that is off the list hahahaha , maybe I should just get back in the car business & go for the demo & not worry about anything, BUT then I would miss being at the cigar shop & who needs all the headaches of that rat rase , 10 years was long enough for me , but I do miss having a demo hahahaha !
Saturday was the LAST Scoccor game , AMEN, no more geting up early on Saturday to watch a bunch of 9 & 10 year olds running up & down the field not having the foggiest idea of what was going on , kicking a ball back & forth , tripping each other , getting a ball to the face & jamming your neck when the ball hits you on the top of the head, , fun to watch but I still dont understand a lot of the finner things about the game, , I have seen the pros play & it isnt near as good as watching a bunch of kids kicking at a rolling ball & missing it compleatly & falling on there backsides , jumping up & chasing the ball all over again, it is a mixed team , Boys & girs & most of the girls are better players, than the boys , more agressive & better foot eye corordination , dont get me wrong I dont want to stereo type anyone , but the jumprope skills are better suited than base ball skills when it comes to scoccor , & since my grandson has no athlitic skills at all he just loves to be with the team 7 plays to the best of his abilitys , when he runs up the field you can see the dancer in him , he glids smooth & even, not all that fast but he gets there usually late to take the shot or block a shot but he enjoys the games ! a fun time was had by all & thats all that counts
I am just about ready to get the pot roast started & head out to the Qtr..Deck , I picked up a Hogy Carmikel CD & a Gurshwin CD , gave them both a listen this past week & thing I just might listen again today, I love football season, allmy buddys are watching games & I can sneek into the Qtr.deck with a contraband smoke & not be disturbed & need to share one , hahahahahaha dammmm things are getting to be BIG BUCKS anymore , not that I am getting cheep or miserly in my old age but so manny moochers out there & no one ever has anything woth trading, heyt I will smoke a short story or a Marsh wheeling & it seams like all I ever get in return for a contraband churchill is a machine made or a cut filler Fuma from Don Nobody , sure I accept it with out much fuss & smile & say thanks , but dammmm I got to strart hanging out with a better bunch of smokers, hahahaha , yes there are a few guys who do have deep pockets & good conections for fine old smokes but I hate to be a mooch to them, so I just sit back , & relax enjoythe smoke , the coffee , music & the weeee dram I am going to have as soon as I get the pot roast going, ahhhhhh brown gravy, roasted spuds, carrots onions & garlic soime fresh herbs & a nice ripe tomato, UMMMMM heaven on a plate , well thats about all I have to day maybe I might remember some thing else but I am just to lazy today to think to much more hahahaha , dammmmm thats tiring , I havent had to think this much since last Sunday hahahaha Enjoy, Vince

I'm heading out to walk the dogs. I'm taking along a Jose Piedra Brevas.
No idea what I'll have later during the World Series Game.

Vince!!! You guys have colors already? We haven't turned yet, not much anyway. I was out in New Jersey on Sunday, watching football with a best friend, and he has an incredible view that stretches quite far from his 14th floor apartment. He has windows all around his apartment, so you can see NYC, you can see the Ramapo Mountains, and you can see lots of New Jersey's trees. Most of them were green, but he said in two weeks, the colors would all be there. That's pretty late, but better late than never.
What you need to do in the cigar shop, is take out the alarm system, and just keep a large rottweiler there. As long as you caution him not to smoke too many of the expensive ones while you're not there, I think things will be just fine.
So Vince finally exposes himself as the man in the poster "would you buy a used car from this man?" I guess a lot of people did, hee, hee, heee!!!
Yes, did you ever think you'd see the day when girls were more aggressive than boys, Vince? And here's a little tip about that foot-eye coordination. The girls are practicing up to kick something else. When a boy from the opposing team gets too close to the ball, it's likely that the girl will use that foot-eye coordination to kick something other than the ball. The upshot will be that the boy will be laying on the ground, the soccer ball will be downfield with one of her teammates putting it in the goal, and the young boy will be looking for three balls, the soccer ball he missed and a couple others that he's missing, ha, haaaaaa!!!
And if anyone's interested in Vince's musical tastes, if you want to know who he was talking about, just come to me for translation. You'll never find Hogy Carmikel on a search engine, but you will find Hoagy Carmichael, and you will not regret it one bit.
Oh, by the way Vince, don't smoke too many of those Don Nobodys. Leave them for the dog, he won't know the difference between that and an Opus X.

good morning , it is sunday Nov4 2007, ahhh yes its november but the trees havent given up there leaves as of yet & what was a fantastic landscape has dulled into a muted haze of dull colors & a few bare branches here & there , the trees in my yard are still holding a ton of leaves that will soon become fuel for the compost pile , all I need to do is WAIT for them to drop, rake them up & WAIT till next spring for the microbes to start turning them into gound cover for next summers herbs
Not a lot happening here in da burgh this past week, other than hitting the POWER BALL for 3 bucks I havent done a lot , the shop is running fine but we can always use a few more customers , this Past Friday was a buddys last day as a state police officer , he retired after 25 years , he got more golf balls 7 cigars for his retirement than he will be able to loose the rest of his life , but he will get a lot of help from me finishing up all the single malt he scored at the retirement bash , now I am going to get him a set of keys made for ther shop , he starts next week hahahahaha !
After a summer like start to fall this year we now have a DROP in the temp. real frost on the pumpkin , the grass got mowed for the last time this cutting season & the patio furniture is all put away & the back deck looks HUGE with out anything on it , the wind chimes are all hung in the shed with the lawn tractor & mower
I have some ribs & chops to turn into a Gourmet feast today , I havent figured out just what i will be doing with them but it will involve rice for sure , maybe an Asian style BBQwith the steamed rice or maybe I will get out the wok & fry the rice with veggies & some hot peppers , add a little zip to the meal
I have an Upman signature toro ready for the cutter as soon as I get breakfast finished , I had the pot of Kona early this morning , last night the clocks changed to standard time but my body is still on daylight savings time so I was up a bit early for my Don Carlos #3, I have a few minutes before I start to make breakfast, my daughter is comming at 10 am for breakfast so i am holding off on cooking till she gets here , IF she even shows up , none the less I will hold up a few minutes for her, but dammmmm I am missing quality time in the Qtr.Deck , the grandsons are off to an adventure filled day with there dad & who knows what trouble the 3 of them can get into, almost as much trouble as I can get into with them hahahaha , but lets face it Grandfathers are here to have fun & fathers are to hold back a little , why else would the gransons want to visit the stinky old man with with cigar breath hahahaha , flying kites is for amitures, I take them to the pool hall bowling alley, & as soon as they get old enough , we will be sitting right beside Al Bundy at the titty bar YES I AM A PIG , SO WHAT I admit it ! hahaha
well we took a break for breakfast & now thats its over I have a buddy stopping to fix the second computer in the Qtr.deck, we are going to hook up a wireless system so I can post & smoke at the same time , right now the only working computer is in the house & since I am not allowed to smoke in here I must run outside to grab a drag, dammmm am I going over board or what ???? well as soon as the wirless system is up & running I will be dropping ashes in the keyboard .
we have a short month here in November just 30 days tovmake the numbers at the shop & with Thanksgiving & BLACK Friday , I am confident we will make our numbers this month for sure

Yes Vince, go for it. Use every bit of modern technology you can. You're not going overboard, you're just gettin' with the times, as long as it's not The New York Times.
As for grandsons, the reason they visit the stinky old man with cigar breath is that he's MORE FUN!!! Who wants to hang with Dad? Dad has rules, the old man teaches you how to break them without getting caught, haw, haw, hawwwwwwwwwww!!! I sure am thankful for the time change today, as I needed that extra hour. The vacuuming which I started last night will get done in due time for me to have that first pot of coffee in time for football.
Today the world will see The New England Patriots prove who is the best team in football, as they down the Indianapolis Colts and Manning in Peyton's Place, 48-37. It's going to be an old time AFL-style Bombs Away Football game, folks.
Vince, congratulations on your buddy's retirement. Those keys to the shop will do him just fine in his old age. You can have single malt sipping contests. Just think, if it was beer, you could have pissing contests.
Noel is wreaking havoc in New England. We got pushed around by some high winds late Friday night into yesterday, but today is another one of the most beautiful days I've ever seen. Wake up America, and if you're on the East Coast and the time is approaching noon, . . .
YOU FORGOT TO CHANGE THEM, SO GET TO IT!!!
Have a good one, everybody, especially the stinky old man with the cigar breath in Da Burgh, that's right, I'm talkin' 'bout YINZE!!! Hee, hee, heee!!!

About 10:30 or so here, already 82°. My chili was a big hit on the patio at The Dragoon Saloon last night. So much so, I'm threatened with good Old West ass kicking if I don't bring more today.
So, a cheeseburger and coffee for the morning meal, and I'll start cooking. Two keys to fine chili: sirloin sliced thin, and Joe Perry's hot sauce.
Chili will be brought, along with some Monte2, Gurkha Legend, Opus X, and who knows what else.
The Western Music Festival wraps up later today, so I'll enjoy some music, cigars, and my chili.

Make that Joe Perry's Rock Your World "Boneyard Brew" Hot Sauce. I know, because I keep the empty bottle The Colonel sent me a few years ago. He may not be using that one for his chili today, because rocker Joe Perry has a whole line of sauces.
One thing about the "Boneyard Brew" hot sauce. It's got just enough heat for a small heat fix, and a world of flavor. Oh right, that's two things. Whatever. I recommend if you like exotic condiments, check out Joe Perry's line. The Colonel swears by them, and so do I, except I don't "swear," I just give my word, hee, hee, heee!!!

good morning every one it is Sunday , 11 Nov.2007, , a very happy Birthday to the United Staes Marine Corps , 262 years old or is it 272, well what ever you guys dont look a day over 100 ! And a salute to all vets for veterans day being celebrated Monday .
Yesterday ( saturday ) was the Big ass Birthday party #2 for the POD cast , , blowin smoke , you can listen to all 48 shows on the web at the burghhefers web site , just click on the link to the pod cast
http://www.burghhefers.com
it has been a slow week at the cigar shop this past week, I guess the rise in gas prices has slowed the spending of the cigar smokers , gasoline is now over 3 bucks a gallon here in da Burgh , even at 20/22 mpg I average on my Sable , I have cut way back on my driving, no more saturday night & Sunday night cigar drives with the wife , I just head to the Qtr.Deck & listen to the radio there & have a fine old cigar sitting there & NOT burning any gasoline , dammmm I miss the time behind the wheel , , we allways find new country roads to travel on all over the area, we have been doing it for years & are still finding new , OLD roads , with the entire area of western Pa , & eastern Ohio, with a little bit of W.Va we have tons of unexplored back roads to cover, & if we hit one that we had hit before , so be it , no big deal,.
My wife , daughter, & my wifes sister are going shopping today , leaving me to do what Im want all day, I dont have top cook for them as they will be eating out, God help the retailers today, I shiver just thinking \about the three of them out shopping together , Bicker & fighting snide remarks will be the order of the day & that will just be exchanged amoung the 3 of them & if anyone comments about it all 3 will gang up on the offender , I get chills & will not go anyplace with the 3 of them, the last time I was stuck in a car with them , it was a Funeral for one of the aunts , it took a week of heavy drinking to forget the ordeal !
I dont need to cook anymore today , I am going to have leftovers since they will be gone all day , I plan on heading to the cigar shop for a little R&R today, no work just sit, I might even watch a little of the football game , well maybe not, if there are a lot of guys there i will take a seat under the tv since I dont want to take up a seat from some one who wants to watch the game , Steelers Vs Browns at Pittsburgh , well no big deal the final score isnt any reason to get upset about, no matter what happens the Sun will set this evening & rise in the morning !! Sports are fine when you are in school, but to be paid to PLAY A GAME , just bugs the h3ll out of me , millions of bucks are bet on the outcome of the GAME, , since it is called a GAME why do you need a PRO to play , GAMES are for children & I just dont see the draw in watching a bunch of millionairs running into each other, sure the moves are wonderful & the motion is almost like a dance . I under stand why Boxing is called the SWEET SCIENCE , man against man, not team against team, I am in favor the the david & goliath senerio, not an all out battle between armys of men killing each other , I guess I am getting soft in my old age , as a NAVY Vet I have seen the results of the Vietnam war & know a few friends who didnt come home in one piece , what is going on in the middle east right now isnt a new war it is a continuation of the Crusades fought hundreds of years ago between the Moslems & Christians , & I dont see an end to it anytime soon, when God brought on the flood of Noah , & said he would never distroy the world with water again that the next time it will be fire & brimstone, I think it will be the BOMB raining down on the area & the fall out will kill the reast of us , I have no facts to back it up, just my own personal thoughts , & I dont think it will matter who is thhe president when it happens , after hillary gets done ramming socilized medicine down our throats & Chelsy moves into the white house a few years after , by then Bill & hillary will be in nursing homes run by the federal government & George H Bush is still skydiving on his 1125the birthday & the guys on wall street are all speaking Chineese , things in the middle east will still be radio active ! Enough of the BS time for Coffee
I had my Sunday morning pot of kona & a Don carlos #3 , we had a ggod deal of frost last night & the Qtr.Deck was a bit chilly this morning , it is a nice cool 65 F right now, I will be heading back out later today with a long sleve shirt & blue jeans & have a second cigar before I head in to the shop . Since I don t need to cook today I figure I might as well go sit & enjoy the BS as to being there working & enjoying the BS hahahaha , I have a pot of Kenya AA brewing right now & when I have finished it I might just take a little nap as I have a long time till kick off , ahhh yes a Sunday morning nap hahahahaha , maybe I better not, I just might sleep the day away ! Hummmmmm now thats a good idea , sleep the day away dammmm what a consept , I havent done that in a LONG time, Hummmm cigar shop[ or a nap, tuff pick, maybe I will flip a coin, heads I nap tails I dont ......... Tails , oh well thats the way the qtr. bounced , no nap, go to the shop & piss off the guys when I ask them to change the station to the food netork hahahahahaha
I have started my Christmas shopping , I havent bought anything yet I said I was just shopping, I hate that I just go in and BUY some thing but I have no idea what to get the wife this year, 37 Birthdays anniversarys & Christmasses & valintines days I am at a road block, gee I wonder if she would like a new set of Kitchen tools or a stand mixer? hahahahaha yea that would be like a wet fart in church !!!!
The leaves are starting to fall & we have about 6 inches deep in the yard under both maple trees, with a ton of leaves still on the tree s , I HATE to rake them up, let the wind take care of them is what I say, but my wife tells me different! so what else is new hahahaha

Yesterday ( saturday ) was the Big ass Birthday party #2 for the POD cast , , blowin smoke , you can listen to all 48 shows on the web at the burghhefers web site , just click on the link to the pod cast

it has been a slow week at the cigar shop this past week, I guess the rise in gas prices has slowed the spending of the cigar smokers , gasoline is now over 3 bucks a gallon here in da Burgh , even at 20/22 mpg I average on my Sable , I have cut way back on my driving, no more saturday night & Sunday night cigar drives with the wife , I just head to the Qtr.Deck & listen to the radio there & have a fine old cigar sitting there & NOT burning any gasoline , dammmm I miss the time behind the wheel , , we allways find new country roads to travel on all over the area, we have been doing it for years & are still finding new , OLD roads , with the entire area of western Pa , & eastern Ohio, with a little bit of W.Va we have tons of unexplored back roads to cover, & if we hit one that we had hit before , so be it , no big deal,.
My wife , daughter, & my wifes sister are going shopping today , leaving me to do what Im want all day, I dont have top cook for them as they will be eating out, God help the retailers today, I shiver just thinking \about the three of them out shopping together , Bicker & fighting snide remarks will be the order of the day & that will just be exchanged amoung the 3 of them & if anyone comments about it all 3 will gang up on the offender , I get chills & will not go anyplace with the 3 of them, the last time I was stuck in a car with them , it was a Funeral for one of the aunts , it took a week of heavy drinking to forget the ordeal !

Vince!!! Isn't it . . .

He always forgets the "r" and if he ever slips and puts an "i" in there, you'll be listening to a radio show done by COWS, ha, haaaa!!!
As for shopping with women, one is okay, but yeah, not with three, no thanks. As for your Bumblebees, you should watch them today. They wore those Bumblebee uniforms on Monday night and kicked the Eaglets in the butt, all the way back across the state. They're looking good this year, as Westminster Abbey, The Tower O' Big Ben leads them to victory after victory.
And yes, you're right, there'll be a nuclear holocaust some day, but thankfully, Jesus will return before everyone on earth is killed, we'll rebuild, and a thousand years later, everything will be made alright for EVERYONE who ever lived and died here, except of course, . . .
those who really need to go in to the Lake Of Fire.
Anyway, football's about to start, and yes Vince, if we ever start living as long as the early folks in the Bible, George H.W. Bush just MIGHT have a 1,125th birthday, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Have a great one folks. Thank you Vince for your service, thank you veterans, including my father, one and all, past, present and future for your service. It's largely because of your efforts that I can sit here and make an ass out of myself on two internet cigar boards, hee, hee, heee!!!

Veterans, thank you!!
Wile E, the tan Husky, is five years old today. I offered him a glass of Old Overholt, and a PSD4. Turned his nose up at both. I don't get it. I thought I did everything to raise him right. I'll try again at sundown, so he can reflect on his day.
I started the day with a PSP2, a wonderful cigar but a tad heavy for a pre-breakfast smoke. Alas, there are worse ways to start a Sunday, and I've done many of them.
More cigars later, just not sure what yet.
