Good morning , it is Sunday , 9 May ,2010, a down right COLD & WET morning here in da Burgh , 38F right now, winds are brisk at 15 to 20 MPH with gusts of 40 , the wind chimes are broken, the flag is torn & needs to be replaced , & the bird feeder is spinning like a stripper on a pole !, it is uncomfortable to say the lest. But I have turned on the heat in the Qtr.Deck & have a pot of kona on & will be heading out right after breakfast, , I have some thick cut bacon, ready to go a few eggs & cherry tomatos a little sweet onion a bit of hot pepper cheese , Pumpernickle toast . should be ready soon, so I better get going & stop day dreaming about what cigars I will be smoking today, I might just close my eyes & grab a humidor or 2 , open them & smoke what ever I pull out , cant be all that bad , just might be needing to rethink that , I just dont want to start out the day with a Cain F , all that power before lunch just might give me a buzz hahahaha I do have a nice pair of Strip steaks marrinading in a nice herb & oil mix , there is the seasons first corn on the cob , & it will all go on the grill some time this afternoon......
the shop has been slow all week but Friday pulled it out of the fire , sales were good but they should be getting better , maybe I am being to nice to the customers, hahahaha , but some of them just want to take advantage of you, I had some cupons in a local paper good for 30 days , they ran up untill May 3 , starting back in April, I got back one cupon, ONE cupon buy one get one free , ONE out of 18,000 sent out , ONE DAMMMMM CUPON , well this guy comes in on the 7th , 4 days after the cupon expired , & I was in a grumpy mood as always & he wanted a free cigar with his EXPIRED cupon , & since I was all ready pissed about the cost of the advertisement & it going in the crapper , I told the guy it had EXPIRED, I scaned it on the computer & it woulnt take it, I did not have the over ride pass word to take it & sure as h3ll wasnt going to pay for the cigar out of my own pocket , Now if the guy had been a little friendly & tryed to be nice about it I might have let it slide , & given him the free smoke , he is always looking for a freebe, wants Montecristos at cost if he gets a box, & then wants me to old them because he dosent have a humidor , so he wants me to make ZERO profit on the box, store it for him so he can smoke them one at a time , yea like thats going to happen well when he wanted the free smoke I just flat out told him the same thing I told him about the box of monties, H3LL NO , why do you want to bust my balls, you come in my shop bring the cheep mail order bundle cigars you get on line, or at the gas station & drink my coffee & never clean up your own cup, leave your trash all over the place & want me to be your father & provide this all free , dammmm where did you grow up ?, where your parent even married ?, do you know who your father is ?, dammm cheep bastard !!!!well I feel better now that I have vented a bit ! hahaha
the grandsons are busy as always & I took the younger one to Pittsburgh last Friday morning to his Doctors at Univ. of Pittsburgh , he is a case study , he has been getting taller but not gaing any weight , he is eating but burning it up faster than he can replace it , sure didnt take afer me hahahaha I look at food & gain 2 pounds !
the hockey season is here the playoffs are in full swing , Pittsburgh is in the hunt for the cup, the baseball season is underway & the Pirates are in there 18th loosing season at 2 games below a 500 season , the Qtr Back for the steelers is getting ripped on the local sports talk shows & in the papers, even some of the national magazines are ripping ben a new @$$ hole, well I guess you reap what you soe ....... the coffee is about gone I need to make a second pot so have a great day to you all , Enjoy, Vince
