Sunday Morning News from the dining room table

Sounds like a fantastic time! One of my goals in life is to go on that crawl! And you didn't even have to fix your own breakfast this year!

[Paint]

Great story ,sounds like you had a great time.

[koapoorpeople]

I would be "that" dumbass!!


Hell, I took a lot of sh*t, but it was all in fun and I had an absolute BLAST!! This was my second Crawl, and, I don't ever want to miss one. It is an amazing time, and to be with such good and fun folks, well, those are times to be treasured.

Let us not forget our CrawlMaster, and his lovely wife Robin.
Without these two, there would be 55 folks herfin in their garage on a Saturday alone. Together, they have created an absolute First Class traveling herf that brings old friends and new ones together. I could go on with details, but you will have to find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed!

Also a big shout-out for Tom Lazuka, Camacho Sales Rep. This was the second time that I met Tom, and all I can say is he is a First Class guy. Also, a big thank you to Camacho for all of the fine gifts and the continued support.

Their were many sponsors, and if you want to see who all the fine folks are who made this such a wonderful time, check outhttp://www.cigarcrawl.com/

Thank You to all.

Good morning , it is Sunday 25 May 2008, Memerorial day weekend , the unofficial start of summer, get out the white shoes belts & straw hats, it SUMMER hahaha , well I dont own a white belt anymore, & I have my straw hat on anytime I want & the whits shoes, PLEASE, my new balance sneekers are white & I have them on winter & summer , good traction in the snow, or wet grass, !!
this past week has been a KILLER , , I was out of the shop 2 1/2 days with a cigar Manufacture & we were beating the bushes for a NEW Brand here in the Pittsburgh Area DON GONZALEZ, a puro from Nicuragua with some killer Maduro or Corojo wrappers , a Connecticut comming this summer, , well I think I have hooked up with the next Rocky Patel ( I hope)
it was Chilly here all week , fine with me & the rest of the Burghers but for the guys born in Cuba well it was COLD , the leather jackets were out & I was sitting there in a short sleve shirt, BUT I am sure the heat & humidity would KILL mein Miami , I guess you just adapt to your sourndings
I just took my quesche out of the oven , a bacon onion & cheese concoction, I wanted to add some fresh herbs when I baked it but my wife over rulled the chef, & I can add the fresh herbs to mine when we eat, she didnt want to juice up hers , so i will bow to the BOSS , AGAIN hahahah, the secert of the long & "Happy" marrage boils down to 2 words," YES DEAR ! "
I dont know how or why I ended up with a blister on the out side edge of both big toes, I wore a pair of dress shoes friday , they are over 10 years old, well worn & comfortable, but for some strange reason BOTH toes have the same size blister, in almost the same place, HUMMMMM in an inneberated state maybe I was obducted by aliens hahahahahaha
We are going to my sister in laws today for a picnic , I have a Shoe fly pie & a cheese salad all ready to go , she is making the baked beans ( the musical fruit) & we are going to grill some burghers, dogs , bratwurst & hot sausage , snap the top on a few Gunisses or is that Gunissi , ???? & when the street lights come on we plan on building a fire in the BBQ pit , lighting a few fine OLD cigars & sipping a weeee dram of single malt & a bit of coffee to take off the chill of the night air hahaha, yea like I need a reason to sip coffee & scotch hahahaha
right now I am sipping a little Sunday morning Kona , I skipped my morning walk today as the blisters on the big toes are hurting like hell , so I passed on the walk but didnt pass on the Don Carlos #3 or the Kona , it started out as an experament , & it clicked , DC#3 in the morning , cool beans , it works for me ,
the grandsons are getting over a 36 hour bug, both had the runs & the body aches, now the Pain in the @$$ better known as my daugher has it hahaha, I guess I'm next ! or the wife, maybe both of us , but I figure if any bug can survive my gut , filled with smoke & booze , a little coffee & lots of INTERNAL gas well then the laws of the jungle say that the strong will survive , it might win a small battle but I know I will win the war, this time anyhow, who knows when my time will be up, so I live life like it is the last week I will be here , always having a the best time I can in the short amount of TIME I have left , I wish everyone did that, but you have the people who want to rull the world that just need power to survive, me all I need is a fine old cigar & a weeeee dram , I am a happy camper
I am still feeling the effect of the cigar crawl last week, on my body & my cash flow, but I HAD A GREAT TIME , Number 11 comming up next year, made 9 of them so far , BUT next year I want my own seat, I dont want to share it , I want to be KING hahahaha , yea KING like Sgt. Preston of the Mountys & his lead dog named KING ( for you under 50 crowd it was a TV show back in the 1950's ) , you know unless your the lead dog the seanery never changes !
I have a lot to do before we head out for the picnic the kitchen needs a little TLC & my blisters need a LOT of TLC , I need to make an other pot of coffee & get rid of the coffee I have all ready drank, dammmm drink one PISS 2 , I dont know what is worse, Beeer or coffee, BOTH make your baldder run over , How about statbucks beer .................. Hummmmm I wonder drink one piss 3 with that ? hahahaha
Enjoy, Vince

Good morning it is Sunday JUNE 1st 2008, dammmmm time is flying by, seams just like a few days ago we were cleaning ice & snow from the cars & now the A/C is up & running, MAY was a good month at the shop , lots of cigars came in & went out, a lot of coffee was drank & a few bottles of scotch were consumed , all in all it was a GOOD time 7 lets face it guys & gals, we are here to have a good time , the 11th commandment should be Dont WAIST TIME , or is that waste? hahaha , should have paid attention to the teacher in English class not stare at her Clevege hahaha, yes I was a pervert back in High school, & that my friends was a LONG TIME ago, JFK was still a senator !!!!! Ike was in the White house & we were loading up "advisors" for Vietnam , that was a LONG time ago.... but now here were in a different war not fighting a country but an Idea this war has been going on ever since Abraham had 2 sons , one became a Jew , one a Muslum ....... end of the history lesson, ( I did pay attention in History class, the teacher was a Marine Captain , & I didnt want to do push ups in class for not being on the right page )

ONLY 2 more Saturday scoccor games & both are next Saturday a Double header, so that means 2 hours of watching a sport I have no idea what is going on , but the grandson is playing so I will be there , I never now the score , they should post it but that would make the team that had the lower point count feel bad 7 we cant have that, can we? BS you have winners & loosers, the kids know the score, 7 know when the win & when they loose, today I dont know who won or who lost , I dont care BUT then kids sure do , after the game its off to the ice cream stand for a cone for the kids & a cup of coffee for me , next week I bring my own coffee, that stuff they have calling it coffee, well lets just say my Piss has more cafine in it than the coffee did !!!!!

the weather has FINALLLLLLY warmed up , I got to have a pair of shorts on today, DAMMMM are my legs white , out in the sun it hurt to look at them hahahah even in the shade !an errrie glow emenating from under the tree behind the goal ! yep thats me & my un taned legs !

the BOSS drug me to the movie today , YES I was forced to go see SEX in the CITY , as a chick flic I guess it was OK , there were a few Boobs to look at from time to time so it wasnt a total loss other than I spent 2.5 hours in the dark with NO CIGAR OR COFFEE ! DAMMMMM that was TUFFFFF !

the Price of Gasoline is up to 4 bucks a gallon here in da Burgh, I know a few of you have all ready been over that point , but Dammmm 46 Bucks for a few gallons of Gas , but I wasnt as bad as the SUV beside me an even $100.00 , 25 Gallons of gas & she didnt fill it up ! , time to park the car & get out the 10 speed ..... Dammmmm I gave it away about 5 years ago , not that i ever road it much hahaha, ( like it was 12 years old & didnt have 500 miles of the clock ! ) I gave it to my Buddys Son to ride when he went to college , No cars on campus for freshmen ( I have no idea where he went, but he still has the bike now in Grad school some place in the south, , hey I bet he had to replce the tires by now hahahaha ! I cant even ride the Lawn mower to work, I got rid of it this past week, it was out of the shed twice last year, thats it, My wife didnt like it , she said she felt like it was going to tip over on the bank, well I showed her it was safe & I tryed to tip it , but no go , she wanted to push the entire yard, so I got rid of it , it took a gallon of gas to fill it up & I could get 2 or 3 cuts out of a tank of gas, , I can just see itnow, heading down the high way with my straw hat, cup of coffee & a cigar stuck in traffic ..... hahaha BUT now ROB will paint lazy man express on it, , dammmm his yard is smaller than mine , well at lest he cuts his grass i let the BOSS do it we made a deal 38 years ago she will take care of the snow & grass & I will cook. works for both of us BUT she wants me to clean up after I cook, I tell her it want part of the orginal; agreement , & we have been in negaotions for the past 37 years, Looks like this one will be a stalemate, , we will have the grandons cutting the yard in a few years so she can stay inside the house 7 clean up as I cook ! hahahaha that way she knows it was done RIGHT & I didnt clean up the floors with the dish rag ! hahaha


I know its going to be warm out today but she wants that SUNDAY ROAST , with BROWN GRAVY , its been on the Sunday menu for so mannnnnny years now I could just CRY, But thats what she wants & to keep her happy well thats what she will get , nothing special just a pot roast & she is happy, , if thats all it takes i will make a pot rosat every day of the week if thats what she wants, , what about a hunk of chicken or pork , maybe a little salmon , NOOOOOOO its got to be BEEF! Lamb? out of the question... shrimp, forget it , Fish is for Fridays , & SUNDAY is BEEF ROAST SO it will be a Hunk of Cow on the table later today

I was back on 1460 WMBA & 1320 WBVP this past tuesday Morning at 7 AM, the station turned 60 years old & they had a few of the OLD announcers back for a little Nostalgia , I had a great time & almost remembed how everything worked , took a few phone calls from OLD listeners on the air & didnt have to bleep anyone out , so it was a good morning , drank up all the coffee & didnt mind a bit , dammmm I miss it thouse 4 years went by Fast , BUT I need one guy to retire before I even thing about going back, ,,,, BUT you cant smoke in the studio, cant sip scotch on the air, cant Play the music I want to play, need to get up at 4:30 AM to be ready & on the air at 6 AM, & who would run the cigar shop ??? Looks like I am "stuck" on the job I have hahahaha yea stuck smoking cigars drinking coffee , sipping a fine old single malt Scotch during work & actuly getting paid to be rude to the customers, cant be rude on the air , the boss( at the station ) frowns apon it , BUT at the shop I can be as rude & obnoxious as i want to be , dammmm customers keep comming in & interupting my relaxation time hahahaha !

Thats about all I have this week from Da Burgh , didnt go out for the paper yet, anyone know if the PENNs won or lost??? hahahahaha WHO CARES its JUST A GAME !!!!

Enjoy, Vince


Sorry about it being a day late , I wasnt able to access the site on Sunday

[Vince]

Good Morning, it is Sunday June 8 ,2008 it is Hazy HOT & Humid here in da Burgh , we are looking for a temp of above 90F here today Dammmm thats just to hot for this time of the year or anytome of the year for that matter , I like the mid 70 low 80 with low humidity & a nice steady brease , for the day & dropping to the high 60's at night, some thing that allows you to build a nice fire on the beach &sit arround it smoking cigars & listening to the tide roll away , hey isnt that a line from a song ? hahaha
the past week was a busy one at the shop, the sales were good & the customers were steady all week, & I am seeing a lot of new faces, but as soon as all the graduation money is spent it will get back to normal & we might pick up a few new regulars ,,,, its a great day to sell cigars , EVERY day is a great day to sell cigars hahaha !
the munber one Grandson finished 6th grade & the school had a little "Promotion"party going to the JR.High next year no more elementry school , just an excuse to have a party, No harm No foul hahaha, so this week comming up will be a fun time , Pool party & a bunch of kids peeing in the pool, , glad the filer is working overtime , the Number two grandson had a great year at school also, all "A'S all year & he didnt miss one day , dammmm I missed when ever I was able to get out of going to school, time to get up & skip school hahaha, yea but Had I been a better student ............... hahaha lets not even go there , who knows what I might have done, anything from a serial killer to President , no difference BUT I am Happy with being who & what I am today , & my wife still thinks she can improve me by Nagging hahahahaha
well since it is HOT out no oven today for the hunk of Roast beast, so today I will be on the back deck roasting corn on the cob on the grill & flaming a few T Bones , gotta keep the strenght up as I think I will start riding the bike to work , 10 miles of country roads & about 1 mile of city streets , going in the morning should be OK its all down hill, but the ride home , wellll it will be HOT & up hill maybe the schwinn isnt a good alternative to the 4 buck a gallon gas ........ RETIREMENT yea thats it , ahhh yes sweet retirement, but I have done it before & let me be the first to say you got to get out of the house every day if you want to stay married, I dont work weekends 7 lets face it I look FWD.to Monday morning so I can do what ever I want to do & Not do anything just to make life easyer for the wife, I do stuff for her that I dont do for my self, its easyer to do it than to Listent to the critisium , why didnt you do this why didnt you do it this way , ....... 38 years together , had I killed her I would be out of jail by now hahahahaha

I found a new cigar , at the local Costco they had a fathers day display of Cigars & stuff, well MY little inquisitive eye spotted a box of H.Upmans I had neve seen before called millioniaro , a glass tubed corona & a dammmm nice smoking stick, I might just run back outthere & check if there are any more ... I never saw anything about them in any magazine , made in Hondouros Not a bad cigar at all.... if I knew I could get a steady supply of them they just might replace the Don Carlos #3 for my morning smoke , but according to the box it is a very limited offering.... so that ends that Idea

yeaterday was the last scoccor game of the spring season , that meams next Saturday I can sleep in !!!!
I still havent made braakfast today the wife is just getting up so I will be posting this & getting out to the kitchen, a little left over roast beef from Arbys will get dropped into a bunch of carmelized inions & bit of asaigo cheese & an eggs right back on the toasted bun, breakfast sanwich, KONA coffee & a Don Carlos #3 , it just dont get any better than this !
Enjoy, Vince
