Rain Wed.

Well I’m pleasantly suprised. My trip to Social Services was not as bad as it was last week. Everyone was very pleasant. I guess they looked at my records from the Medicaid dept. and found I wasn’t trying to get something for nothing. But it’s still not a done deal. It will still take a while to decide if I qualify. I was straightforward with them and the people I dealt with were fine with it. They took my picture for my Benefits card. Was fingerprint scanned. Signed a few forms and documents. I might even have Food Stamps available tonight after 6:00. But I’m not in a hurry, I have the foods from The Food Pantry.
I got the dreaded Juror Questionnaire in the mail today. I can go online and take care of it or Phone it in. I’ve got away without having to serve for this long, it just might be my time. Oh well!!
I guess we are going to get lots of ran today and tonight with more on Thursday and into Friday. Just our luck. I’m glad I don’t live in New Orleans or any of those flooded and distroyed cities. They might have the good weather 99 % of the time, but look at what’s happened. Most people will have lost everything and never get it back. I guess it’s a chance you take, but I thank god I’m not there. With the luck I’ve been having, I’d be found floating in the river face down and a dog or cat using my dead my body as a life raft. Most likely a family of rats… Just kidding. Oh well I’ll say a prayer for everybody who’s affected in the disaster.
I got an extremely rude surprise at the gas pump this morning. Those fucking asshole have to raise prices that fast. That’s a crock of shit. But I guess its going to be around for a long while in the aftermath of the storm. Well enough ranting, Don’t want to get to depressed. See ya in the funny papers………….

Gloomy

While sitting here drinking my second cup of coffee, I was contemplating the immortal words of Socrates “I drank what?” Yes it’s a gloomy rainy day.
I’m guess we will eventually get what’s left of Katrina in the next couple of days. Not really looking forward to it.
I actually feel pretty good. My breathing sucks, it’s so humid. But I went for a walk this morning, anyway. Down to Rite Aid to get some info. Then to the Village Light Dept., to talk with Melissa. Then back home. A little short of breath, but not too bad. Of coarse I didn’t walk to fast. And had breaks to stop and talk with the people on the street. I think I’ll start to take more walks in the mornings. I would do me a world of good.

While on my walk, I stopped and talked with a friend of mine, he told me it only took him three months to get his Social Security Disability. So, I hope they come through pretty quick. I have an interview with someone in Herkimer for Soc. Services. I don’t know if it’s going to be a big waste of time, but I’ll go over and jump through hoops if I have to. I can understand why they make people do this, but can’t they get together and make things easier Oh well!
Guess I’m done, stick a fork in me. Time to goof of….
Keep yer stick on da Ice…..

Hey, I’m BACK!!!!

Just when you thought it was safe to go on the internet and not see or hear from me.!!! I got a second chance at this crap. But you can always switch channels. I’ve had a good and bad two weeks since my last posting.
Kiwanis parking went very well, We set a record for money collected in this century. But this past week has been extremely terrible. I fucking broke. No food in the house, well actually very little. I went to Soccial Services to apply for Pubic Assistance and Food Stamps and they told me I don’t quallify. I have to much assets. A home, a car…. So I’ve been all fucvked up this week end. No sleep, just worrying about paying bills etc……
I had a new experience today. I went to the Food Pantry and they gave me some food. They were very nice and pleasant and went out of their way to make me feel welcome and it was a good experience. So niow I can eat for a while. Just wanted to put up a post today, so Here it is and I’ll be writing a lot more in my blog………
Keep your Sick on the ice.

WOW! What a night.!

I don’t know about you, but I’m POOPED this morning. I helped park cars at the Fair last night. That was the most incredible night that the fair has had in a long time. Of course it was demo derby night. And that always brings them in. Plus it was a beautiful night as well. The main lot was full. Our lot was full. You couldn’t squeeze anybody else in anywhere. We parked over 500 cars in our lot. We were non-stop from about 5:30 until almost 8:30. The derby started at 8:00. Traffic was backed up both ways on Rt.S. They even closed off southbound traffic on Cemetery St. to let people in to the fair and the village. It was freaking crazy!!! We even had a police officer come up from the corner to help direct traffic into our lot when the fair’s lot was full. I feel sorry for the Fire Dept. They were directing traffic in the fair’s lot. They definitely worked their nutts off. I’ll bet it was a zoo get people out of the fair last night. I didn’t stay, getting home after 10:00.
I’m moving a little slow this morning. I’ll be parking cars again tonight. So I’m going to take my time and relax most of the day.
I got to go pay some bills this morning, then it’s the recliner and a few DVD’s for me.

A nice ride

A nice trip this morning up to Old Forge. Not there is a New Forge. Actually we went through Old Forge and all the way to Fourth Lake at the North Woods Inn for a breakfast meeting with the Central Adirondack Kiwanis. Our club goes all over the district to meetings of other clubs to get our Round Robin patch for one of our Banners. We seem to be the only club that goes and does this. It’s nice to go visit and see what other clubs are doing. We left from my place, about 6:00am, went to Joe’s house and rode up from there. I got back home about 10:15.
Just hanging out and waiting to go park cars again tonight. Demo Derby tonight so it will be busy. We hope. We've done very well so far this year. Weather wise. Just don’t need the rain right now. Got a good crew working tonight so it should be fun.

I'm Back

I’m back. And I’m glad to be back. Almost didn’t make it there or back. The roads were being repaired. 690 was one lane for about 3 miles ending right before my exit on to Townsend St. On the way home my truck ran extremely hot. It almost overheated twice on the way home. I could understand it in Syracuse, bumper to bumper traffic. I think or hope it’s just either down some fluid or just need a new cap or thermostat. Those are simple fixes. I don't have any money to fix anything else.

Well now for the Dr. part. This was the most enlightening experience. I was poked prodded. Bent moved squeezed and asked a million questions. But I have a good idea about whether or not I should be eligible for Soc. Sec. Disability. I hope I’m not wrong. Most times I’ve been to the DR’s, I get the normal perfunctory exam, but this was much, much more. I also had to do a Pulmonary Function Test., Which should give them a good idea, if I have problems or not. So now I just wait. Wait and wait and wait. Just like waiting for my insurance company to send me the requested form. Wait and Wait….

Any way I got there just about ten minutes before I was scheduled for the apointment. Then like any other DR's office, i waited and waited. About 12:15 I got called in and the whole process took untill about 2:00. I got home about 3:45, so not to bad coming home on Rt.5. Saved about $5.00 in tolls, going out and back on Rt.5.
It'll be enough to by bread, milk and garbage bag. Tonight;s garbage night here, so I don't want stinky garbage in my apartment. That's what it will be if I wait a week to out it out.No thanks, don't need that, or the flies that come with it....
Well that's enough, got to get ready to park cars again......

Today's the day

That's right, today I drive to Syracuse to get my physical for Soc.Sec. disabilty. Lucky me. I got all the paperwork filled out,got my med's to take with me. Now all I got to do is drive out there and find this place. Wish me luck!!!!

Fair Time.

It’s time for the illustrious Herkimer County Fair……
Big deal. But the good thing is if you decide to go to the fair, you can come up and I’ll help park your car. That’s right, almost Valet parking. Yes the Frankfort Kiwanis is parking cars again. We park cars across the road from the main lot, in the industrial park land. $2.00 gets you a prime place to park with easy entry and exit. I’ll be there most evenings and all day on the weekends, with a small exception on Saturday, I have to go to the party at Renee’s house….. Can’t miss that!
But you’ll be able to see us from a long distance, we’ll be wearing the Fluorescent Lime Green shirts…
They almost glow in the dark. This is our big fund-raiser for the kids in our community. We donate to a lot of events and programs for the youth in Frankfort and the Mohawk Valley. Also we send two kids to Camp Kiwanis every year. It’s a great camp for kids, I should know, I worked there for a summer many moons ago, when I was 18 years old. Kids from all over the state come to central New York, just outside of Rome.
We should also have our fall raffle tickets by the end of the week. So stop by, we’d love to see you and park your car.

I’ll be tied up with that, most of the week. But I still got to go to Syracuse for my Soc. Sec. certification. So wish me luck…..

I can't sleep.

A note to my sister Sue…….
I am intoxicated, and not sleepy enough to go to bed.
So, don’t get the wrong idea. I don’t actually have the answers to life’s questions, but I do know this.
It is better to have a bottle in front of me, than have a frontal, lobotomy.

I know you are the smart one, the most educated of the group of our end of town. But I some times think back to when we were kids in the 60’s. We really had it made. A pool at the end of the street. A play ground at the end of the street. Neighbors who would take you in, if Mom was not at home when you got out of school or when you couldn’t find her when you got home.

What ever happened to us?????

Did we grow that far from that place…..

I was talking with Big Daddy. You might remember him as David Petengal. (spelling) . He tells me that they don’t have a wading pool in Ilion, period. No East Street, No West Clark Street, No wading pool anywhere in Ilion…. Only the so-called Big Pool. That really sucks. I think back to all the stuff we had at that time to do. What are this generations kid’s going to do?
We really had it made.

But why am I talking about this??????
I have know Idea………
But it seems a waste of resources. The village has to many asshole’s running things now. They only care how good they look, not what they do…. I am glad I don’t live in Ilion any more, I hate to say.

But I still think of Garbage Heights. That was the greatest place to grow up. We had pear trees and a cherry tree in Ms. Geloso’s yard, wild Strawberry’s in the field behind the house, Black berry’s (black cat’s) as big as your thumb’s on the railroad tracks to pick, and any thing else we could pick or steal from everybody’s garden or yard. We knew everybody on our street, and what we could get from them, or what we could get away with….

I’m almost wishing I didn’t know what I know, now, I just can’t think that there is a place for any one to grow up like we did.
I almost feel Special….
Oops, I said the magic word. I really don’t think today’s kids can grow up in a place like we did.

But I hope someone try’s.

Like I said earlier, I have been having a good time tonight, and have had my fill of the alcoholic beverages and felt philosophically challenged to attempt this written communication. So I’ll end this at this point, and hope you don’t think less or more of me, because of my statements,that is.

I want to lay around the shanty, and put a good buzzzz on.....

YES … We are talking about a drunken stupor…..
YES, I’m in that phase of intoxication. So I’ll make this short……………….
Don’t let a good buzzzzzzzzz let you down or let you not be all you CAN BE……….
Because there is more to life than the hangover that usually follows the drunken stupor.
You must try to remember the finer points of the drunken stupor. We have to remember that it takes two to get drunk . You and the bartender, or mixmaster at the partaaaa…………
Don’t forget the host or hostess
Or in some occasions the hotestst……..
So make sure you enjoy yourself, no matter what comes…, or happens………
Be cool or as my bud Brad would say, Be kewl……………




As For Sue, don’t worry about me, I’m kewl,(cool) about my trip to Syracuse on Wed. …….. Got a check in the mail on Saturday…………………………………………………..

Tomorrow....

Tommorrow is the Pork Loin Roast for the Son’s of the Legion at Post 845. If any one is interested, please stop by. It’s only $10.00. I’ll be busy all day. I got the Bloody Mary fixn’s for the morning to get us going. By the way, the roast is from 1 to 5 p.m. I hope we have a good turn out.

You know the person I waited all day for never came. So I did happen to get what I wanted, from somebody else, though. I guess I’m going to give him some shit when I see him next. Asshole!!!!

Now I guess it’s my time to be nice and not spout off about the trails and tribulations going on in this state of ours, But!!!! $2.53 for a gallon of gas. Then the next station $2.65 for a gallon. That’s FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!!! I used to work in the petroleum-marketing field, and that’s really un called for. There is know fucking way that we should be paying $2.50 a gallon for gas.Period. It does not cost that much to make a gallon of freaking gas. Now I can understand that if you lived in a state that wasn’t close to a refinery or port terminal, you would have to pay a little higher price, but whom are these oil companies trying to fool. Hey, all the gas in this state comes out of fucking New Jersey. It’s comes up a pipeline. In Utica, it’s the eastern end of The Buckeye Pipeline. It doesn’t have to be trucked in. Like Ohio or Kentucky or even freaking Nebraska. They also have pipeline to send the refined gas and fuels. But the distance is nit as great. So WHY?????? I know the taxes in this state are the worst with exception of California. But why???
Because every one will just complain and pay the fucking prices. In this Fucking state. This freakin govoner won’t do a god damn thing, as well as out so called great president. Hey George, where did all the money go in Texas, you know, where you and your brother and friends got away with a the money in the savings and loan scandals????????????? Just tell me where. Also, can I have some if you have some left floating around….. Okay, okay, I shouldn’t talk about our president like that, but I did. So what ya gona do???? Sue me? You get what everybody else will get out of me, NOTHING…. I don’t have anything. SO………. I guess I spouted of enough, I’ll let it go at that.
To my friend Don, I think your Tsunami Detector is great. Can I have one down in the Valley? With you being on the mountain top, it might react a little different down hear where the air is thicker…..
I’d be getting awfully light headed up there………!!!

Well enough shenanigans for today, see’s ya in the funny papers…….

Waiting, waiting, and more waiting

Have you every had to wait around for some one or something to come. Like an important letter or some one to give you something. Well, I've been waiting since this morning for someone to show up and I'm waiting for a check from Oppemheimer Funds. Not that it's a big check, but I could use it right about now. Must be they don't give a shit or they're just being indignant. So I'm just waiting and waiting.....

Another Great Day

What do you think of this day? Hasn’t it been one of the nicest days of the year? Well I think so. It got hot, very hot. Yes it was very muggy this morning. But I expected nothing less. I got out and did my running around early enough and have been home the rest of the day in air conditioned comfort. I will admit it is getting warm up in the apartment, but I am coping with it very well. The fans are blowing the air around, and the a/c is on high.
So I hope every body else is coping with this heat.

Okay, who is this guy being nicey nice? I guess I think I’ve said enough for the year about how hot it’s been. So, I decided not to let it bother me. At least not today anyway.

Now onto the rest… Yankee’s need help. Gary Bettman, the asshole commissioner has reinstated Bertuzzi. Bad idea. I’ve always’s thought Bettman was an asshole, now we all know. Terrell Owen’s gets booted out of camp. He’s another asshole who needs to be taught a goddamn lesson. Fire him, and make him sit out a year or two and make sure he doesn’t get paid half as much as he did. Force him to take less or not play. I won’t talk about Rafael Palmeiro. He’s another one who needs a wakeup call. They did the right thing firing that radio host who made that statement about Caribbean players. Every one is talking about Tiger at the PGA. Today has been a great day to talk about sports. So I talked about sports.

I had a good night sleep last night. The only exception was waking up and having to pee. Slept like a log. Yes they could have dug a bullet out of my ass, with a Carvell Spoon. But if I have to pee, watch out. But I went back to sleep easy enough. Yes it was nice and cool in my air-conditioned bedroom. If I didn’t have a/c, it would be complaining about not sleeping and being pissy all day.
I still remember how hot and sticky and awful it used to be when I didn’t have a/c. I really don’t think I could cope without one at night. I might be able to deal with out it during the day, but nighttime, no way. So, call me spoiled, if you must. I just can’t breathe like I used to.
Hey René, I’ll definitely try to make it to the swarey on the 29th. Might not have a Hawaiian shirt, but I’ll have my Panama Hat on.

Guess I’ve said enough, so Ta Ta for now………………

A beautiful day missed,almost...

You know, as we grow older and supposedly wiser, we some times forget to stop and smell the proverbial roses. Well today was almost one of them. Being in a semi depressed mood and a little pissed about my current state of affairs, as in the movies, (my contemplation of “Harry Carry”{?} spelling?), I almost missed out on a beautiful morning. I didn’t sleep well this morning, waking up at three and having to pee; I couldn’t get back to sleep till almost 5:00 am. I got up, took my meds and my inhalers. I decided as I headed to the shower, I’m not in the mood to stay home and be a total waste today. With that in mind, I got my ass out of the house at about twenty five after nine, just after the mail had come. I went to the bank in Ilion and had to wait to talk with Tim. I sat and waited for almost an hour. Not that it bothered me waiting that is; I had a nice quiet time away from everything that would make me feel shitty. I had a sort of a daydream waiting to talk with Tim. I figured I can stay down in the dumps, down on everything or what ever, or I could just stand up, raise my arms up in protest and say “I’m really sick and tired of all the fucking bullshit, and I’m not going to take it anymore”,,,,,, Or just stand up and raise my arms up and shout, “What the Fuck?”??????
So in spirit I stood up and said to myself, “self, you don’t want to feel like this anymore, so fuck it, let’em think your down, but in your heart your standing back giving them all a BIG RASBERRY”.
After that little epiphany, I got up and talked with Tim, took care of my business and left. Had a nice drive back home with a smile on my face. Had a good lunch, actually a brunch. Then proceeded to have a great afternoon. Also had a fantastic dinner, chicken and pasta with a tomato and basil sauce. I also opened up my last bottle of wine for dinner. A bottle of Trinchero Mario’s Reserve Cabernet, 1999. A nice bottle of wine if I do say so myself. And I do say so… [Please forgive me if I sound a little to philosophical, it’s most likely the bottle of wine.] But today has been a better day than I thought I would have had, if I and not gotten out of the house. But as I slowly fade away into mild to moderate Buzz, let me wish every one a good day or night, which ever pertains to you or your situation.

But before I go, let me talk about something I’ve been meaning to talk about for a few weeks. While typing out this post, I’ve been listening to the Derek and the Dominoes CD. You know, Eric Clapton and Duane Allman and others. What a great, I mean fuckin great album. I never really appreciated the music till now. I always liked the Allmans and some of Clapton. But every time I listen to this CD, I get all nostalgic, and wonder why it took me so long to really start to enjoy this music. The only album they made, much like the other album Clapton band in the sixties, Blind Faith, Blind Faith only had one album as well. Completely different music. But just as good. But I like Derek and the Dominoes better. I’ve always had something for the blues, but I kind of get Claptons music of the late sixties and early seventies a little better nowadays.
Well the bottle of wine is gone and I’m wondering if I should stop or continue with my little buzz. Guess I’ll take the later. I have a little bit of bourbon to drink. A nice old bottle of Jefferson’s Reserve. A tasty little bourbon, a little bit to the dry side of bourbon, but a nice almost sweet finish. Maybe one or two if them to make the day complete. I guess it’s the subtle little tones in bourbon that makes me such a fan, just like in wine, if you take the time and actually taste the whiskey or wine the better the enjoyment.
So I guess my message of the day is to take time to stop and smell the roses or to taste the wine or whiskey. Enjoy yourself.

Keep your stick on the ice.

{Notice I spelled whiskey with the (E) on it, not like thise crazy Scottsman, with their Scotch Whisky, Look on every bottle of scotch, it’s spelled whisky.}

Monday ................

Well it's Monday again. F'n hot and muggy, again. Weekend was okay, nothing special. Made a big pot of 15 bean soup. Yummy! Had lots of stuff nin it. Beans, of course. Hot Itlian Sausage, ground Turkey, onions, celery, carrots,crushed tomatoes, zuccini and summer squash. Plus salt, not to much, need to wach the sodium because of blood pressure. Lots of black peepper, red pepper flakes,garlic powder,rosemary and some of Emerils Essence. Took 3 hours to make and simmer, but well worth the wait.Yum Yum Yum...
Only problem is, you might want to stand upwind of me... LOL...
Well I called the folks at Soc.Serv's about my Meicaid. well I got to practicly do all this crap over again. You know, it pisses me off that thet keep fuckin around with you just to make you give up.
Like it's their fuckin money they're givin out. Enough on that crap, it makes me get real pissy thinking about it. If I was 18 years old and not able to work and on my own. All I'd have to do is go over and tell them I'm depressed and they would bend over backwardsmto help me. Oh fucking well.
Enough, enough, time to go, so keep your stick on the ice.

So much for the trip to my sister’s

So much for the trip to my sister’s this weekend. She’s got things to do and just got back from traveling with work. So feeling sorry for her I said, “Okay I’ll come down some other time”. Oh well! Guess it’s for the better. It will most likely be HOT all weekend. It’s got to be tough for her with all her friends coming to visit just about every weekend. She doesn’t get much done around the yard and out by the water. Have I told everyone she has a home on a lake? Well actually, she has a house across the road from the lake. She has about 160 feet of lakefront across the State Highway along with her property. A dock and a float in the water to tie up her small sail boat. And centrally located 20 minutes from down town Albany and the New York State Thruway and all the connecting highways in all directions. So I guess her friends think up excuses to get out to see her and hang out by the lake. That's okay, if I had a home on a lake, all my friends would be there every weekend too. So it’s home in Frankfort, NY and the Beautiful Mohawk Valley, for the weekend. Maybe I’ll take a short road trip for the day somewhere.


Keep your stick on the Ice.
For the Hockey fans……
Take another year off in The NHL, You fuckin premadona players and fuckin gready owners and league officials. Shame on all of you. Don’t expect me to watch or go to any games for a year. You cheap #%$^%%$^%^*)%&(^*^%*&’s……………………

Yes, I’m ready for the Margarita’s and the Rum Runners. All I need is a Hawaiian shirt. I feel like I’m in the tropics today. It’s so freaking hot out. I don’t plan on leaving the house today. I turned on the big air conditioner in the living room about 9:30 in the morning. So far I’ve been comfortable. But it will warm up in the apartment. Hoping it cools down before the weekend. I’m going down to visit with my sister on Saturday after Kiwanis. Get to see how big Tucker is getting. I’ve been keeping track of him and his antics on Dogster.com. Sue has an online diary of the mutt’s escapades and growing pains. If it’s to hot, I’ll just go down for the day and come back at night. I’d rather stay till Monday, I need a little vacation from the ho hum world of Frankfort, NY
I didn’t win the lotto jackpot last night, not that I had a chance any way. Yesterday was the first time in a long while that I bought a ticket. Got the usual, two numbers and nothing more, Oh well. I do better on scratch offs. I haven’t bought any of those either. I have to wait until next week to see about my Medicaid and other aid I might be eligible for. Guess it’s time for another cool drink…. Not too much in the alcoholic department. I don’t have any Gin, Rum or Tequila in the house, so I guess there’s no tropical drinks, just Bourbon Scotch and Cognac. Not that I’m going to open my bottle of Johnny Walker Blue. I’m saving that for a real, I mean real special occasion.
I’m not really a scotch drinker, but Johnny Blue is different. I’ve had Johnny Gold, and that’s not to bad. I can actually drink it. I can drink expensive scotch, not the regular $30.00 bottle, only the best stuff in scotch for me. I can’t get into the taste of the cheaper stuff; it tastes just like Iodine mixed in water. Yuck! The better price stuff is a lot smother and has more flavor to me.
So, I don’t drink scotch to often. Like once in several blue moons….. But give me Bourbon or Tennessee Whiskey, and I’m in heaven……
Me and those Southern boys, get along very well. You know, my friend’s, Jack and Jim, and The Old Grand Dad himself. I also have lots of other Southern friends that might not be so well known. Like the makers of fine bourbon’s, Makers Mark, Blanton’s, Woodfords Reserve, and the entire premium Jim Beam brands. I guess I like the American made products better. Not that the other whiskeys from around the world are an inferior product. Oh well. I’m getting thirsty talking about it. Time to go……..

What else is new?

I’m a little annoyed.
My car was leaking Transmission Fluid again. I had that fixed a few weeks ago. Luckily I was at Brads house when I found out it was leaking badly. He tighted up the fittings and hopefully it won’t leak any more. Brad also put a can of gas in the air conditioner for me and I have cool air in the truck again.
I figured I wouldn’t get my a/c fixed till next year. It still worked sort of. Like it took three times as long to cool down, but now it’s instant cool.
I took him to lunch for doing the fixin on the truck. Went to our usual lunch place, Ponderosa for Salad Bar. The chicken wings were pretty good today.
It’s f’n hot out again. Brutally hot again. What else is new????????????
Keep your stick on the ice.

Doc,thunder, and music

Well I guess it was a typical trip to the doctors yesterday. Same typical questions and stuff. This guy is nice like my other doctor. He’s willing to wait to see if my Medicaid comes though. I finally got in touch with someone in Herkimer. Unfortunately the person who has my case is on vacation. So, I have to wait to talk with her. Oh well!!
That means I pretty much had a wasted day, but that’s cool. I got out of the house and was out in the sun before the rain and thunderstorms came through. It was a beautiful day, then thunder, and lightning. There was a lot of lightning, which was cool to watch. Even in the evening it was thunder booming and lot’s of lightning. Always love to watch the thunderstorms…
When we were kids, we’d be up visiting my grandparents outside of Dolgeville, we would sit on the porch evenings watching the thunderstorms all night. They seemed to converge from all directions above the farm. All most as much fun as watching fireworks….
Not to be a complainer, but… have you ever noticed that most idiots behind the wheel are in a hurry to go nowhere. Not once, twice I had people in such a hurry behind me, pass me on the right while I was pulling back into the right hand lane going down Genessee St. Only to pull back into the left lane, to make a left hand turn, right in front of me. They couldn’t FUCKING wait two extra seconds for me to move over. I had my signal on to move right but they were too god damn close to see the signal. But the good thing was that both had to wait at light’s to make their turn… Hahahaha!!!
Serves them right. Patience, patience. Enough of my ranting.
I had a quiet evening, except the thunder, at home last night. I watched this program on CMT about Southern Rock. Not that I watch a lot of CMT, but it turned out to be well worth the effort. It dealt with the Allmans, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd and CDB. Also about Muscle Shoals, and the music that came out of Georgia and that area. Spent a lot of time on Duane Allman and his band and working with the guys at Muscle Shoals and others, like Eric Clapton and the Derek and the Dominoes album. All in all I recommend seeing it if you get the chance. They always show it several times. A must see if you were into the late sixties Hippie movement and the Southern Rock era. Gee’s I’m letting you know how old I am……. I remember all of that stuff. I used to stay up late to listen to the areas only album rock station. At the time it wasn’t a full time album rock station, only after 11:30 or 12 midnight. That was during the early seventies. Wow, that’s kind of old! Listen folk’s I remember Penny candy and 5 cent packs of gum. Candy bars were a dime. My dad had a fit when cigarettes went up to four or five dollars for a carton. Now I feel OLD………
But don’t feel bad, I’m still young at heart, so they say. I’m not in AARP yet. I still have a few years yet. Not to many though. Guess I’ve said enough, Keep your stick on the ice.

Monday and a trip to another Doctor.

I hope I didn’t scare any one with that photo on Saturday’s post. It’s from a real cheap camera and a morning after shot of me. Really had little sleep that night, but what the hell. I had to play with the camera. Hope my next one is better. I get to go see another doctor today about my blood condition. Probably lose a pint of blood. So I guess I’ll be going……..
Keep your stick on the ice.
