Smartie's Bar & Grill #66

coffee to dull the pain, alcohol to relax it away.

who needs this?

 

I make no beans about singing, and dancing as best one can, while driving. Deal with it, folks!

 

I'm not sure but I always felt that Dino was a scotch guy.Because he usually
had a little bottle of Ballantine's in whatever fancy car he drove as
Matt Helm. I think his rat pack buddy { Frank Sinatra } was a
Jack Daniels guy. Which is odd because most Italians drink Scotch.
J & B being the most popular.

 

When is groundhog day??

 

I am complaining for the tree...cold without snow sucks.

 

Don't ask me. My track record for calendar items hasn't been too good lately.

Cold and windy here today too, but it's about 44 degrees. Guess a snow day is outta the question. Although watching the Green Bay game yesterday... are those folks crazy? Who lives up there???

 

Your track record with the calendar is fine, you also posted it wasn't accurate..

The temperature here this morning was 26 and no snow.

The puppies even had an attitude about going outside. "You want me to go where?" were the looks I was getting from them.

 

I am just waiting for spring. It was like 5 degrees here this morning in New England.

 

You are aware I presume that Winter is not even 3 weeks old.
This Wednesday will mark the 3rd week of Winter.

 

When I was in college I used to keep the beer outside when I came home for
Christmas because I dint want the Parents knowing I loved my beer.
The next trick was to sneak Pot w/o the Parents being the wiser.
Not fun going outside to sneak hits off a joint in the dead of winter.
So we cracked open the small window in the Rec Room { our Play room }
and took hits while blowing the smoke out the window.That being me and my
younger brother { who was also a Pot head but started much earlier { like in
8th Grade }. I smoked my first joint as a Freshman in college.
I started to crave Vino { Rose } when I was a senior in college.Especially
in the winter.I have pipe dreams now that I wish I could go back to those
college days { Junior & Senior year } when I was broke almost every day.
I dream of having a big footlocker full of choice booze like Cognac and
nice red wine.Plus stashes of money.I used to be able to live like a King
on $ 5 a day.However $ 2 bucks was more like it.A bottle of Rose was
a little under $ 2 bucks.I spent $ 299 yesterday on 7 bottles of red wine,
2 cigars and a pint of Martel.I usually spend around $ 300 - $ 400.
Twice a month.

Refresh my memory. That's the white stuff on the ground. Right? It's been a couple of years since I've seen it.

Here is what I've been up to since mid December. I had the floors installed, but I painted the walls in the middle of the process. We finished 2 days before everybody came over for Christmas. We did the dining area, kitchen, pantry, and laundry room. I had to put the chicken coop on hold. Hopefully that will be finished in a couple of weeks.

 

What's the cage fir.? Like an Iguana er somethin'.
That ain't like where you put the big country Ham so the guests don't
pig on it ford the main course.But if it is ... I may understand.
Relatives can be such Hogs.

 

That's where Ethyl sleeps. Chihuahua/yorkie mix. She likes to get away from the big dogs and won't come out for 12-14 hours at a time. She watches my rear entrances at night. We sleep with 4 dogs spread all over the house. The others like beds next to our beds.

 

A happy childhood can usually be traced back to a smart sadistic mother - who smiled - a lot.
