The veal was great, (as always) hahaha, but thats about all I was able to talk the wife into, I was hoping for a little some thing extra, but since we are both way to old to be parents she told me to "go fly a kite" so I was in the yard with a kite & she is telling me I need more Tail, well an hour before that she tells me to go fly a kite, dammmmm I dont understand her, dammmmm !

hahahaha

Enjoy, Vince

( you've got to listen to the pod cast to get the conection )
other than that it has been some what quiet here in da burgh this past week , I did find my way to Alleghney Smoke Works in Blawnox yesterday & got to meet Don Pepin Garcia , smoked a few when I was there & had a great time , drank a few cups of coffee with the cigars & got to BS to a lot of old friends from the Blawnox area who were there for the day as well a good time was had by all!
I left there to head home as we were getting ready for a suprise 5th anniv. for my daughter & her husband , they had gone out for dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak house in da burgh & since the traditional gift is Wood for the 5th anniv. we had a Bonfire, & every one was supposed to bring a log for the fire , by the time they got home from da Burgh the party was in full swing, the Keg had been tapped & the fire was going & the police had been called by the old lady on the next street , & it wasnt even 9 PM yet , lucky for us the cop was a cigar smoker & with the bribe of a fine old Contraband Monte he said he would go over & have a talk with her, & we told him to invite her over with us but she refused , she needed to get to bed & some one offered to sing her to sleep which was also rejected, , funny how some people will vollinteer for some things with a quart or 2 of beer in the belly ! hahahaha
well it was a fun night & every one had a good time as far as I could tell !
I have some chicken breasts sitting in a dry rub right now , going on the grill later today, what is let over I will be making chicken salad with it , its just way to nice to cook inside today soi i plan on being on the deck most of the day , thats when I am not napping or "downloading" all the coffee hahahaha
well the Boss just told me I needed to get on the stick, under her bathroom sink there is a leak, looks like the hot water line is a bit loose at the connection, so that means I need to do some thing about it, well drop the wet towels in the dryer & call a plumber , BUT NO she wants me to fix it, , dammmmmmmm this is going to cost even more when the plumber has to Fix my repair ! hahahaha

The Bike finnaly got to the shop Saturday, it has been sitting since I dropped it a few weeks back ( in the drive way getting off of it ) , hay I never said I was graceful! well the windshield was broke & the pegs were twisted a bit & I was sore as H3LL , still a bit tender in the left shoulder, but my ego was hurt more than my body hahahah , well it is in the shop & I have no idea when I will be getting it back, they said they had a lot of work to do before they cold even look at mine, well thats life , maybe its time I went out & got a snowmobile suit for winter riding ! hahahaha
well the boss has a few more chores for me to get started on before I can cook, so I better get off the computer & on the stick, as there will be H3LL to pay if I dont, I hear doors slamming & tool box rattling , so if I want to get back here some time in the next year I better get off now & see what she is getting ready to take apart !

Enjoy, Vince ,
No rest in her soul no rest , dammmm Now I know why guys die before there wife, THEY WANT TO !

Genesis 2:18: Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."

Note that God brought all the animals to Adam first to see if any of those would work, then after that failed, decided to make woman. I wonder what the THIRD option would have been?

I just got up from my "Nap" after finding out that the cold faucet needs a washer or some thing, but this is a good time to replace the entire unit so she wants to go look for a new one , fine with me, but now she wants me to go with her, I told her just pick out the one you want & have it isntalled, that way I dont have to pay the plumber to fix what I break, but No she wants me to go with her, , Glad the hardware store is Closed today I got to take a nap, No home centers for her, she wants to go to some showroom & & find the one she wants, well I got her the kitchen faucet she wanted & it is still in the box, but she is happy that she has the one she wants, hahaha, i need to get some one here who knows what the hell they are doing & she agreed !!!!!! 37 years of breaking things has Paid off ! , well after I found out what was leaking, I went out to the back deck with a cup of coffee & a Camacho Triple Maduro Titan (6 x 60) it KICKED MY FORMER FAT @$$! , so that why I needed the nap hahahaha , she is reading the sunday paper, & I am back on the computer, the chicken is sitting in the dry rub & will be going on the grill soon, I think I have time for more coffee & a small cigar , maybe a short churchill or corona , maybe a nice mini torp , what ever I dig out of the humidor will be just fine at this stage of the game , Enjoy, Vince

Thanks for the updates Vince. I've enjoyed you immensely on Rob's Blowin' Smoke podcast. Wish I had more time to smoke, maybe when the kids are out of the house. (I've still got fairly little ones roaming around.)

Great job on the weight loss as well. I lost close to 50 pounds about 4 years ago and have kept it off.

JULY 1 2007, Good morning cigar world & fellow lovers of the leaf, it is a Beautiful day here in da Burgh I just got my lazy formerly fat @$$ out of bed & had some French toast with bacon for breakfast , I am a Bit tired this morning for some strange reason, all day yesterday I spent sitting around, sipping coffee & smoking cigars ( no different than any other day ) but this was my nephews Graduation party so I got to BS to a lot more people than normal & it just wore me out hahahahaha , I took 2 bundles of cigars with me (to pass out to the guests & recent graduates ) & a travel humidor full of good stuff for my self & a few other real cigar smokers , by the end of the night I ran out of even the dog rockets !
A few people ended up in the pool still dressed , lucky I was not one of them, I hate to ruin a fine cigar ! the local Vol. Fire dept was in attendance & a few were drinking some what heavy when a fire call came in, NO one left , if they have been drinking they dont go on a call, so everyone turned up the radios & listened to what was going on , some one coming home from an afternoon at the mall rammed her own garage & the roof fell in on the car & she was trapped ! YES she is BLOND !!!!
Friday night at the shop was jumping, not an empty seat in the house I got the doors locked just before 11 PM & was home before 20 after, , it was a GOOD night at the shop, but I had a lot to do Saturday morning , up early & cooking a lot of pasta , chicken & making a few different salads & a crock of Baked beans
Hey no wonder I have gas this morning hahahaha
15 Pounds of Rigatoni , 6 pounds of macaroni salad 10 pounds of potato salad , 40 pounds of chicken wings ,a roaster full of hot sausage onions & peppers , dammmm I thought I had retired , BUT it was FUN !
the grandsons were there & a lot of other relatives from all sides of the familys , No one was drunk enough to fight when I was there, but we left about 11 PM , & I havent had a chance to talk to anyone yet this morning to see what damage was done after I left , I just hope there is a few fire men still able to respond to any calls today , some of them wer realllllly smashed when we left last night
I get today off, no cooking for me other than breakfast , we are headed to the Ellwood City arts fest & will get some thing there ,what ever it is I am glad I dont have to cook today, dammmm I am out of practice , a few years ago I could have knocked yeasterday mess out in a few hours & had a great time doing it, put I am a lot slower , & dammmmm I am sore as I have been in a long time , that dammmm pasta pot full of water is one heavy SOB, my groin is telling me all about it this morning.
I did get some good news , My bike is ready to be picked up so I just might get it today , if we dont go to Ellwood, well maybe on the way home from Ellwood, hummmmm sounds like a plan to me
Thats about all I have from da Burgh this week, who knows I might remember some thing later to tell you about ! Enjoy, Vince

Good morning all , it is Sunday 8 July 07 & it is just past 10 am her in da Burgh with a high of 91 F predicted today I plan on staying close to the A/C , I didn't go for my usual morning walk with a Don Carlos #3 & I haven't gone since last Tuesday morning, last Tuesday I stopped after work to pick up a new MC helmet , as mine has seen better days & the dammmmm thing is to big to fit right anyhow so I ordered a new one a few weeks ago & am finally remembering to pick it up, so I get it & am walking out the door when I trip over the Shitzu "guard dog", dammmm little dog, , I must be accident prone due to balance related ( not good for being on a Motorcycle hahaha ) , seams like I am always falling down or tripping over some thing, , maybe its the trifocals , I might just not be able to see what the hell is right in front of me , I just dont know, well I am bruised , battered & embarrassed , my right ankle got twisted, & is the color of a storm cloud , both knees are swelled & bruised as are both elbows & I scratched my Brand new lid before I had a chance to put the face shield on it ! dammmmm little dog, & then the mutt comes over to play with me when I am spread all over the ground , maybe I should put back the 200 pounds I lost , then I would have SQUASHED that little mutt ! , OH well better day are coming, I rode to work Friday & it was FABULOUS, a great ride, home at 11 PM , slow & easy , never went over 45 MPH, just enjoying the night air , the only bad thing about the bike, NO coffee or cigars when I am riding , just dont have enough hands to do everything .
We had our 4th of JULY celebration last night since everyone had to work WED. & just after dark the police showed up for some reason , dammmm I woinder if it was the fire works that we had been shooting off for the past 25 minutes , my son in law got a permit signed by the president of city council ( I wonder what that cost ) , well the cops were bewildered, that was some thing they had never seen or heard of before , so we went back to shooting the rest of the stuff just after they left & it was all over by the time they got back hahahaha !!!!
sales at the shop are going UP & UP every month , stock is starting to run a little low & a lot of stuff we were ordering is on back order , all kinds of new brands for the shop & inventory is going through the roof but some of the old standbys seam to be lost in the madness for some thing new & exciting, , I have been smoking a lot of new brands & new expressions of old brands & still havent found anyting I like better with my morning coffee than Don Carlos #3 , size & taste are just what I want them to be , & it never gets boring, a Wonderful way to start the day.
I dont plan on cooking much of anything today with a high in the 90's I think I will just cut up a watermellon some peaches plums & apples maybe a banana & add a few grapes & some almonds a light sour cream or yogert dressing & that will be it for the day, I did make a hot pepper cheese omlet for the boss & myself this morning but that is the last time I will be firing up any heat in the kitchen today, next stop will be going out to the Qtr.Deck & turn on the A/C , time to make a pot of Sumatra , the Kona was just fine this morning but I want some thing a we bit bolder for the Sancho Panzo q-ban torp I have for my afternoon smoke .
thats about all I have for you this Sunday Morning, if some thing comes to mind that I forgot about I will try to get it posted before I forget , dammmm getting old is tuff on all of us , watching the fireworks last night with my Grandson sitting on my lap, ( yes I now have a lap for him to sit on ) I remember sitting with my grandfather watching firworks when I was 9 or 10 , dammmm I still feel 9 or 10 now , with all the band aids on my elbows & knees , all I need is a skateboard, hahaha, but dont worry about that , if I do you guys just might be reading my obituary, MY wife would kill me ! hahaha . Enjoy, Vince
