It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Just waiting for my wife to finish putting on her face and then we are heading out for this dreaded annual payment. Not only is the procedure horrible, but the location is almost downtown, close to a major hospital and other businesses, so that means no parking. We normally drive to the closest parking lot and hope that it is not full, leave the car and take a long walk to the payment offices. Then take a taxi to the bank and another taxi back. Etc. Not nice!
Not sure if this couple should receive a Darwin award or something worse. Bet that insurance will not cover the loss of their car;

Back home. Horrible job completed for another year. It only took 3 hours and only needed to talk to 4 different people. Hate stupid government bureaucracy!
Took my wife out for lunch as a reward for both of us surviving this ordeal once again.
Tomorrow will be heading out early to do a job at the orphanage, so someone else can make the early morning ph00 and coffee.

Stan - - don't think I have ever seen damage on a vehicle like that before - - crazy how it blew that roof up. Wow, quite a shocker when that lighter ignited.
Now you know Scoooty would not run over himself = = = on purpose. Might do some other crazee stuff on purpose, but run himself over. YUK.
Weird day today. Worked like mad but don't ask me what I got done. Nice day though - - sorta different.
Ahhhh, hot ph00..................................

Very quiet at the shop today ... great day yesterday... had to shake the coffee to get any out into my cup.
Gotta love the gov'... I'm in the middle of renewing our permanent residence cards ... not really difficult just the hassle of remembering all the dates for our trips out and then back in to Canada... over the last five years!!
The one that really frosted me was when we applied for permanent residence the first time ... I had to actually pass an English exam. Must have been 250-300 of us and the only 2 that I saw who's first language was English was myself and a chappy from England!!! Everyone else had a towel wrapped around their head or body.
At least Canada does not provide the applicants with a translator... someone please tell me the US is still not doing that?!?!
Anyway I told the dragon to make some Timmys and I'm gonna see if my daughter is finished with those chocolate "no bake" cookies ... I really doubt there will be any left to share guys sorry bout that

Went to a 50th wedding anniversary last night.
we left disgusted and appalled.
my wife and I speak kindly to each other, don't lie or act rude ever and all we experienced was awful.
my sister and her husband we're dumbfounded by this as well.
sometimes families suck.
sorry, had to unload.
It was surreal.

OK - - ya did good, Lary. B.E. is a good one - - they make a fairly decent Denver Omelet. So, add a dish of fruit and that wonderful smelling Ph00 and I am a happy camper.
Just got in from locking in a car for my granddaughter. Think she will love it. Ford Edge Limited. Wow, has almost as many gadgets and electronics as my Caddie XT5. Low miles, one owner (retired couple who traded it in for an XT5). She is driving down from Tampa to see it and claim it. That will be fun. Think she will love it.
OK, done eating - - - - refill that Ph00 mug and go back to dealer and meet her there. Fun. Want to see her face. Have a great day.

Uh guys ... dirty dishes in the sink ... crumbs all over the counter and a black rig of burnt coffee in the pot where one of you shomes left the burner on when ya took the last cup...
The dragons not a happy camper either... didn't even leave him a sausage link of a piece of banana nut bread with a little butter and honey...
Sigh ... guess I'll do dishes and feed dragon some that a way this place is at least presentable if one of you guys stagger through the door to get the homemade chocolate "no bake" cookies I'm leaving on the counter and fresh pot of decaf

Just walked into the breakroom and almost did not recognize it as it is so clean. Not as clean as when we used to have a regular janitor, but definitely an improvement.
Was looking to see what type of coffee to make and found an old can with something in it that looks like coffee and sort of smells like coffee, but am really not sure what it is. Can't read the label, but think that it says COVFEFE and 'Made in China'. The surface of the coffee has a few small holes and next to each hole is a small pile of darker coffee. Reminds me of what earthworms leave behind. Anyway, decided to not waste whatever this is and make coffee. Did not taste it as it was still brewing when I left. Noticed that the dragon had moved to the other side of the room, next to the open window for some reason. Fresh ph00 is ready. Sorry, forgot to bring any munchies, but the next person here can do that.
Another too busy day ahead of me and a meeting at 10:00. Still trying to re-arrange my schedule to give me some me time. Anybody know how to do this?
NISMOramAE86, drop by more often.
Bob, what did your granddaughter think of her new car? Did you receive many hugs and kisses?
Off and running. L8tr.

Stan, when you solve your "time" problem, give me a call and give me the secret. GGRRRR And the granddaughter acted like a pro - - just like Grandy taught her. Come in, no big smiles, just a hug for me, great the sales person and small talk. When you see it, don't smile, walk around and start picking on any little spot you can see. She was perfect. I had all ready pretty well locked in the price, so it was a go. She dropped me a note today telling she got up early this morning and just went out and sat in it and looked around. Loves it. I am soo glad - - she is a sweety and very motivated little lady.
OK, blonde is hollering for supper - - gotta run.

HELLO , Hello, hello.
Well at least there's no mess to clean up ... dragon even made his corner tidy before he went out as well...
Glad to hear the car hunt finished with smiles ...
Thursday breakfasts aren't usually exciting... so if I'm up early I'll put on a big pot of oatmeal for everyone... maybe some fresh strawberries and raspberries out of our patches... maybe some honey from my bees ... maybe some real Canadian maple syrup ... breakfast might not be to shabby
See you gents tomorrow, Lord willing
