Chicks, Chips & Boats

[ChiefApache]

I'm home sick for the second day. They do not want anyone at work who is sick to be at work. All I have done is sleep, sleep, sleep. I feel better today than yesterday so will most likely be back to work tomorrow.

I need to wash the sheets and get the sicky crud off them and jump in the shower and make myself feel like a person again.

I hate being sick.

Morn'n everyone. Was sent on a mission yesterday while head'n for the house. Now in London, KY instead.
Hate those phone calls that start out with "Can you do me a BIG FAVOR?

[BBB725]

Mornin gang, it's raining today so time to put up the christmas tree and in door honey dos. We got invited to some fancy suit and tie event Saturday night, I really hate wearing a suit and tie but I'm going anyway, for charity so that's a good thing right?

I don't like dressing up either, but it only happens a few times a year, right??

We are going tree shopping Sunday I believe. Rob's BD is Monday so we're getting together with friends Saturday night, then we'll get the tree picked out and start decorating it this coming week. Nice out today, but I don't think it's going to last all day. So far the four letter "s" word they have been talking about all week hasn't produced anything...yet. We all know that luck will run out soon. :(

I'd go in shorts and topsiders.
If ya have the check book open, shouldn't matter what you're wear'n:D

btw...it is a good thing. If I could find my suit, I'd wear it.

Going out tonight to celebrate Rob's BD which is on Monday. Doing stuff around the house, have to go to the grocery store at some point (yuk) and laundry (yuk).

[BBB725]

Mornin all, Finish decorating the tree this morning and then going to that charity dinner thing. Oh I almost got out of going tonight, Miki had me check to see if I had everything, tie, belt, socks, and shoes. Guess what no shoes but I happen to do this 1/2 hour before our shop was done and they went to the house and sent the shoes FedEX Saturday delivery. I'll find out how much it costs to sent size 13 dress shoes over night. Damn those express services, sandals would have looked great with a suit even better at home:sifone:

Well....the favor bit me in the ass again. Sat all day Friday in London, KY after I delivered. About the time I figured I was stuck there for the weekend, they came up with a load that was spose to load 10:00 Sat morning by Louisville and deliver 10:00 Sun morning in Dwight, Il (1/2 hour from our Kohls terminal in Ottowa)
Got the load on Friday night (12 hours early) and delivered in Dwight 6:00 this morning (30 hours early)
Did my part to get me home, but they have nothing at Ottowa to bring me home on. Get to sit now anyway:(
I've seen them bring guys home out of Ottowa empty, but I guess I'm not lucky enough.
Gotta love being on the giving end of favors.:rolleyes:

[MarylandMark]

Yea- some how that favor thing never seems to works out for some reason

[Scarab KV]

Much better thank you! But I gave it to my husband. :(

Pretty cheap B-day gift, but I guess as long as it was from the heart:D

Happy birthday Rob:seeya:

Just sucks when ya bust your ass to set up the perfect round and someone else drops the ball. Chances are, there was something at Ottowa, but the weekend dispatch doesn't know the scoop cause nobody communicates.
The risks of back to back rounds.

Kept my shoes on all night, and I'm showing my age this morning, moving a little slow:rolleyes:

It actually was fun, we didn't realize how many people we know down here until they're all in one location. The said they raised $119,000 last night with 2 $50,000 donations from corporations. We ended up going out after the event that where the trouble started.

And, no Christmas cards this year, so don't be looking for ours in your mailbox. Just don't have the time or energy to do them.

Like that here too! The temps have dropped and snow is beginning to move in our area now. This will be our first snowfall this year believe it or not. That means totally stupid people who forgot to drive will be out there driving. :mad:

Hey gang, I took off yesterday to go fishing. We were catching a lot of fish, most had to be thrown back but did end up with enough for dinner. We also had a 3 foot nurse shark show up so my daughters boyfriend wanted to catch it and did, as he pulls it to the boat, he tells me to get a knife and cut the line as close to the hook as possible:eek:

[cuda]

Those snapper will make some good groceries.


I caught a six foot nurse shark in 130 feet of water. It was about as exciting as reeling in an old boot. That's one lazy azz fish. He has no teeth either.

The wife-to-be and I don't really do gifts. She says I'm spoiled- if I want some thing, I just go out and get it.

I told her she was full of it and to prove my point I wanted American Muscle II in our driveway Christmas morning if she thought otherwise.

Come on 12/25!!!

Well, almost done shopping but not yet. Thought we'd get a lot done last night, but that didn't happen.

Rob's dad, who is 64, wants a watch for Christmas, and he doesn't have the best eye sight. It's not easy to buy a watch for someone with so-so eye sight. You really have to look at the faces, make sure you can read it, plus it has to come with the snappable band, not the stretch band that pulls your arms hairs out of you.

And I have to find a bird feeder. In the middle of December. :boxing_smiley:

You roll peanut butter into a ball then dip the peanut butter almost all the way into melted chocolate, leaving just the top portion uncovered to resemble a buckeye.

You get the boat home and all hell breaks loose.

Actually it's 70 and yes I needed long sleeves this AM walking the dogs

I had to put on a jacket and sweat pants to feed the dogs this morning. It was 50. It was about 75 the same time yesterday. If it gets any colder, I'm moving to Florida.

I talked to my cousin in Chillicothee, Ohio yesterday. It was 20 degrees and snowing. It was 11 degrees at my other cousin's in Oregon.

[Scarab KV]

Time to go play in the snow. Looks like the only break I'm gonna get is in Ohio between the two systems. First two stops in NJ are predicting 1-2' and my two in NYC 10-15".
Monday will pretty much be the day from hell.

I don't think so. Maybe midwest, but I know people who make them in PA, NY, MD, KY. Hell, maybe they are. :)

Forward them my address- never had them and sound delicious

Snow, snow, snow is the story here..

18 bottles of wine on top of the 3 cases we already had

3 more cases of Coors Light on top of the 3 cases in the fridge already

another bottle of espresso vodka to replace the one I drank the other night to keep me up long enough to drink more Coors Light. 10 oz cans keep colder longer

[DonziGirl]

Made homemade whiskey sours today. Big pitcher full. If people don't get here on time, I may drink the pitcher! And I don't really like whiskey but they're good this way. Note to get an electric juicer though.

[Scarab KV]

Hey everyone. Wasn't bad last night. IL & IN had their toll roads salted heavy and temps were mid 30's so it was highway speed all the way. OH had a few snow squalls on the east end, but not bad. Eating breakfast in Hubbard, OH and then on into PA we go. Looks like the worst has moved off the coast so they'l have all day to deal with it before we get there.
Sure the side streets will be junk cause they have no place to go with this stuff, but I'l take it.

At least it didn't go to waste! :)

[DonziGirl]

That it didn't. My aunt told me 4 limes and 4 lemons to 3/4 cup whiskey and 2/3 cup of simple syrup. Well the limes and lemons are supposed to yield about 1/2 cup each. I used a juicer and got way more juice out of them. I bought enough limes and lemons to make 3 batches. needless to say, I have a ton of limes and lemons left with almost no whiskey

Pulled into my first NJ stop about 5:30. Roads were clear and dry all day. The snow moved out of PA and NJ while we slept in OH lastnight. Looks like they only got about 6" here, but I'm 40 miles from the coast. My buddy Lenny just got into Brooklyn and he said everything is cleaned up and ready for biz tomorrow. May not be such a bad Monday after all:)

NJ is in good shape. DC should be in good shape by now.
The Carolinas may be a different story though. Was down there once when they got 15". They have no clue how to deal with it or drive on it.

Close enough, Ormond Beach, 60 miles from Otown.

[MarylandMark]

DC is in good shape. I was not on 95 but imagine if the roads I were on were as good as they were, 95 would be a breeze.

Schools closed all over and so is most of the Fed Gov't. That makes my morning commute very nice but any thing after 11AM sucks because all the idiots are off work and want to go driving around bumping in to each other..

We just stick it in the freezer for a few hours (or snow in this case) and drink it out of shot glasses. We use to drink it straight out of the bottle but with all the germs out there we don't do that until we are too drunk to make it in the shot glasses. That and good handwashing; doing my part not to spread germs. :sifone:

the 1 that bugged out on ya the other day???????:toetap05:

[Scarab KV]

Well the snow did create some challenges after all. When it snows in Brooklyn, they'l just leave enough room for you to get up the street to deliver.....if you're lucky.
Just another day in the city.

Pretty sure the dude that unloaded me was Phragle's brother. The mirror on the forklift is in the way, but he was a dead ringer.:D

[Scarab KV]

Long Island got blasted. last stop of the day was a bit of a biotch. After knocking down 3' snow banks with the trailer on every turn I had to make to get to the stop, I find a car (on left) park by the gate to the dock that needs to be moved or be run over by the trailer going in. The car is actually parked on the street, that's just how they plow. One lane through and let everyone deal with the rest.
Pic was after the cars across the street were moved so I could do what I needed to get the freight off.

btw......don't look Brooks:D

[Scarab KV]

What ever it takes:rolleyes:

After bang'n on doors at the surrounding businesses looking for the owner of the car with no success I tell the Jamaican dude who's gonna unload me (I think he was still in island mode) that we're gonna have to unload in the street. He tells me he won't go in the street with the forklift because of the snow, but will unload me in the parking lot....which btw had snow on it too. Must be Demons at the curb or something. Well I explain to him that if I could make it into the lot, I would've just backed into the dock....will you meet me half way at the curb? He says "OK Mon, I go as far as the curb "

Driver 1
Curb Demons 0

Alrighty then. Make the rounds bang'n on doors again, to get four cars across the street moved so I can wiggle around enough to get the tail of the trailer past the Demons so my boy can get his freight off.

Now for the clincher.
After we're all done and I'm backing down the street to get out of there, the business owner from across the street who's employees all had to move their cars, walks out and gets in the car that was blocking the gate and drives away.:cuss:

I'm sure it was. She's in my shower right this minute. Women are all nutz.

She wasn't going to come over, then decided to come, and I fell asleep in my recliner while she was coming. Then she was mad because I woke up and did't want to go to bed. She's making me crazy. The language barrier doesn't help. She is just too cute and sexy for me to hold my ground.:)

My dad was a truck driver for 40+ years with Long Island/NYC being one of his main drop areas.

It is amazing the narrow alley ways and streets a truck can get down. Sometimes you literaly have inches between the truck mirrors and brick walls of the business you deliver to.

Then there's the cars. :cuss::cuss::cuss: Amazing how fast they move when a rig's grill is all they see out of their mirror with the sound of an airhorn blowing in the wind and up their azz. :sifone:

I forgot that my friend that I've known since I moved to Florida in 1971 was coming over. He lives in Alabama now, but was in Venice for work. He came over yesterday, and stayed until this afternoon. We had a good time recalling old war stories. He was also my first roomate.
