SUNDAY        8 - 17 - 25

 TOOK A FAVORED CHANCE AND AS I FIGURED I WAS RIGHT......SO I ROLLED NORTH.

 BUT FIRST :

 YOUNGEST AND I LOAD UP AND HEAD TO THE NAIL. WE PREP FOR THE NIGHT.

 NEXT , WE DO A RUN FOR FB MARKETPLACE. IT WAS A SMALL WORLD WHEN WE PICKED UP A LARGE BRAND NEW WARMING TRAY. THE PERSON WHO GAVE IT TO US I KNEW. I DID NOT PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER UNTIL AFTER WE LEFT AND THE SELLER WROTE , " WARMING TRAY SOLD ". IT WAS THAN I SAW HER LAST NAME. I MESSAGED HER DO YOU KNOW " J.S ? " SHE REPLIES , " YES !! ".

 NEXT STOP IS FITZWATER CAFE. LET ME TELL YOU THIS DINER FOR FOOD AND PRESENTATION VAULTED TO MY TOP AND FAVORITE PLACE. IT WAS EXCELLENT.

 I DROP OFF MY YOUNGEST AND ROLL HOME. I LISTEN TO THE PHILLIES WIN AND ALMOST BLOW A 6 AND 5 RUN LEAD.

 BACK HOME I SETTLE IN AND DO MY EMAILING AND BEGIN PACKING. I DECIDED TO HEAD NORTH WITH THE PUP AND I TIMED IT PRETTY GOOD.

 I ALSO DECIDE TO LET MY BARTENDER HANDLE THE SHOW TONIGHT. WHEN THE PROMOTER BOOKED THE SHOW HE TOLD ME HE GOT A LOCAL BAND FOR TONIGHT. THEY WERE FROM HARRISBURG. THIS IS NOT LOCAL AND I KNEW THE DRAW WOULD BE ZERO.

 I ARRIVE AND SEE A BUCK AND A DOE. THIS IS ALWAYS VERY COOL. I AM HAPPY TO SEE THE LAST RENTER LEFT OUR HOME EXCELLENT.

 I CHILL FOR A BIT BUT THAN DO 2 PROJECTS. AT 8PM  I SIT DOWN AND WATCH 3 EPISODES OF THE LAST OF US. THEY WERE VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT.  EPISODE 2 WAS FRIGGIN' OFF THE WALL GOOD AND I CAN SEE WHY SO MANY FANS GOT PISSED OFF. BUT , MY YOUNGEST TOLD ME THAT S HOW THE BOOK GOES.

 I CHILL AT MY COMPUTER TO CHECK EMAILS AND PLAY ONE GAME OF POKER. I THAN HEAD UPSTAIRS.....THE PUP FOLLOWS ME.

 WALK THE PUP AND I GET FREAKED A LITTLE BIT. I AM ALWAYS THINKING BEAR. THE PUP IS ON THE RUNNER AND I HEAR BRANCHES BREAK IN THE WOODS ABOUT 30 YARDS AWAY. I BROUGHT THE PUP IN RIGHT AWAY AND STARED OUT THE WINDOW FOR THE NEXT 11 HOURS.......NOTHING.

 I MAKE MY BED AND USE A DUAL WINDOW FAN. IT WAS 95 DEGREES WHEN I LEFT HOME AND IT IS 81 DEGREES HERE. THE NIGHT TEMPS WOULD DROP TO THE 60'S.

 TOOK A MUSCLE RELAXING PILL AND SLEPT TO 8:30AM. I WAS ONLY UP ONCE BUT PROBABLY WOKE UP AT LEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES.

 TRUMP MEETS WITH PUTIN TO STOP THE WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE. HE TOLD US REPEATEDLY HE WILL DO IT IN ONE DAY. NEITHER DICTATOR TOOK QUESTIONS. OH ,  THE NEXT DAY , USING DRONES ,  RUSSIA BOMBS AN APARTMENT BUILDING IN UKRAINE.

   MONDAY    8 - 18 - 25

 MONDAYS ARE LONG BUT HERE.....NOT SO BAD.

 - EMAILED BANDS THANKING THEM WHO PLAYED LAST WEEK. I DO THIS EVERY MONDAY.

 - EMAILED BANDS WITH DETAILS PLAYING THIS WEEK.

 - DID SOME SMALL PROJECTS - EMPTYING A BUG ZAPPER , DUSTED , CLEARED COBWEBS UNDER OUTSIDE AWNING , CLEANED A TV SCREEN , DID A GOOGLE REVIEW FOR FITZWATER CAFE , AND CHECKED A PORTAL FOR ANY UPDATES ON THE FINE OUR YOUNGEST GOT. SO FAR , NOTHING WHICH IS A GOOD THING .....BUT THE GOOD THING WON'T LAST.

 WENT SHOPPING FOR CRANBERRY AND PLASTIC CUPS FOR THE NAIL. GOD , I MUST OF LOOKED AT COOKIES AND CAKES 15 TIMES BUT NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING.

 HAD A BRIEF TALK WITH THE CHEF FROM CHARLIE WEAVERS RESTAURANT. THEY ARE CLOSING DUE TO AILMENTS. HE SAID IT WAS TIME TO RETIRE.

 PICKED UP A PIZZA AT MY FAVORITE PLACE CALLED JIREH'S AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THE ICE CREAM SHOP ACROSS THE STREET. I SENT IT TO MY FAMILY BUT NEVER WENT IN. MAN , THAT WAS HARD TO DO.

 TOOK THE PUP FOR A WALK AROUND THE STREET. I TALKED TO 2 TOUGH LOOKING GUYS FISHING. THEY SEEM BE COOL. JUMPED SOME DOE AND FAWN WHICH IS ALWAYS COOL. I ALSO TOOK A PICTURE OF A COOL LOOKING BUTTERFLY.

 HAD LUNCH AND WATCHED 2 EPISODES OF RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES. THE FIRST EPISODE CALLED " PRELUDE " WAS EXCELLENT. BRADLEY COOPER WAS VERY GOOD.

 TALK TO A NEIGHBOR WALKING HIS DOG. I LET OUT OUR PUP TO PLAY WITH HIM.

 I SPEND 2+ HOURS MAKING A SOCIAL MEDIA POST ON MUSICIANS WHO WERE SUPER COOL AND EASY TO WORK WITH.

  TEXT WITH FAMILY AND A BROTHER.

 SETTLE IN AND WATCH THE PHILLIES BATS EXPLODE. IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE IN THIS BIG WIN.

 WATCH 2 EPISODES OF THE LAST OF US. AGAIN.........VERY GOOD.

 BY 11PM I HEAD UPSTAIRS AND DO MY NORMAL TRADITION OF WATCHING THE NEWS , HONEYMOONERS , AND WINGS. ALL WERE GOOD.

 FOR THE 2ND NIGHT IN A ROW I TOOK A MUSCLE RELAXING PILL. IT WORKED AGAIN.

   TUESDAY      8 - 19 - 25

 DAYS GO BY SO FAST.

 STILL LOOKING FOR A BARTENDER. A NEW ONE STARTS THIS FRIDAY AND AN OLD ONE HAS GONE M.I.A.

  SLEPT GOOD AGAIN TAKING ONE SMALL MUSCLE RELAXING PILL.

 DID A FAIR AMOUNT OF COMPUTER WORK TODAY. THIS INCLUDES EMAILS TO BANDS , POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA , AND SEARCHING FOR THINGS.

 LEAF BLEW BALCONY AND MAIN DECKS. I ALSO USED A STICK TO TAKE DOWN SOME SPIDER WEBS. I KNOW SPIDERS ARE IMPORTANT TO THE ECO SYSTEM BUT JESUS THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

 THIS EXACT SAME SCENARIO HAPPENED TO WHEELS WHEN A DEER HIT HER CAR.   I AM DRIVING TO TOWN AND A CAR BEHIND ME IS RIDING MY ASS LIKE I DO TO WHEELS. I WAS DOING A LITTLE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT AND COULD OF SPED UP A LITTLE MORE BUT DECIDED TO KEEP MY SPEED , MAYBE EVEN SLOW DOWN JUST 1 OR 2 MPH. HOW DID THIS HELP ME ?  ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER A GOOD SIZE BUCK DARTED RIGHT IN FRONT MY BUMPER WITHIN 10-15 FEET. IF I SPED UP JUST A LITTLE TO APPEASE THE DICK HEAD DRIVER BEHIND ME.......THE DEER WOULD OF SLAMMED MY CAR.

 SPEAKING OF DEER I HAVE BEEN SEEING BUCKS , DOES , AND FAWNS GROWING UP. THIS IS ALWAYS COOL TO SEE.

 STOP AT RENEE'S COLD CUT HUT. THEIR BREAKFAST SANDWICHES ARE #1 TO ME. HERE'S WHAT I GOT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAY'S MEALS - 3 SAUSAGE EGG CHEESE ON A CROISSANT , ITALIAN HOAGIE , A HOME MADE SQUARE FRUIT TART , 2 SICILIAN STYLE CANNOLI'S , AND A BOTTLE OF ORANGE JUICE. TOTAL $29. I SHOULD GET 3+ MEALS OUT OF ALL THIS.

 IT WAS OVERCAST ALL MORNING BUT BY EARLY AFTERNOON THE SUN CAME OUT. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE.

 HURRICANE COMING IS SUPPOSE TO BRING SOME SERIOUS RAIN , WIND , AND COOLER TEMPERATURES.

 PHILLIES BLOW 4 - 1 LEAD BUT RESPOND WITH 2 RUNS IN THE 8TH INNING TO WIN 6 - 4. I KEEP THINKING , " IF WE CAN JUST GET TO THE 8TH INNING WITH A LEAD .....OUR NEW CLOSER CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE. " SO FAR DURAN IS DOING AWESOME. ALSO , ALVARADO RETURNS AFTER HIS SUSPENSION. YOU THINK THIS BE A WONDERFUL ONE TWO PUNCH FOR THE 8TH AND 9TH INNINGS.

 WATCH SEVERAL MORE EPISODES OF THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES. AFTER THE FIRST PHENOMENAL EPISODE IT HAS KINDA GONE BACK TO THE SILLINESS WHICH IS FINE. I DO ENJOY THE SERIES.

 DO SOME ODD JOBS , CHECK EMAILS , PLAY A GAME OF INTERNET POKER , AND SETTLE IN AROUND 8PM.

 WALK THE PUP AROUND THE LAKE. NO ONE IS AROUND. I LOVE WHEN SHE STOPS WAY BEHIND ME THAN DARTS WITH A QUICK GALLOP IN FRONT OF ME. SHE REPEATS THIS 20 TIMES. THIS DOG IS SUCH A NUT JOB AND SO FUN TO BE WITH.

 I WATCH THE FINAL 2 EPISODES OF SEASON 2 THE LAST OF US. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXCELLENT SEASON. I DID NOT EXPECT THE ENDING LIKE THAT.  I DID ENJOY THE AFTER INSIDE SCENES TOLD BY DIRECTORS AND ACTORS. IT GAVE SOME GOOD INSIGHT.

 WATCH THE NEWS , CHECK EMAILS , AND OF COURSE WATCH A LITTLE OF HOGAN'S HEROES.

 WALK THE PUP LATE NIGHT AND START THE PROCEDURE FOR HEADING TO BED. UPSTAIRS THE PUP JOINS ME. I WATCH AN EPISODE OF WINGS WHICH WAS NOT BAD FOR ITS DAY.

 IT GOT A LITTLE CHILLY HERE AT NIGHT SO NO NEED FOR MY DUAL WINDOW FAN.

  ANOTHER DAY IN THE BOOKS AND I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW FAST THEY GO.

 OH , AT 12 MIDNIGHT I CALL VRBO FOR A BIG DISCREPANCY.

  WEDNESDAY     8 - 20 - 25   ( 37TH ANNIVERSARY)

 37TH ANNIVERSARY FOR WHEELS AND I. SEE OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES FOR WHAT I WROTE AND PICTURES.

 VERY RARE BUT VRBO FIXED EVERYTHING ON OUR END.

 WEATHER KINDA HELPED ME ON THIS ONE. I REALLY WANTED TO STAY ANOTHER DAY HERE BUT WE HAD SCHEDULED GOING TO AN IRON PIGS GAME WITH SOME COUSINS. WELL , THE RAIN AND COLD TEMPS STOPPED US FROM GOING SO I WILL STAY HERE ANOTHER DAY. I FRIGGIN' LOVE IT. NOW , HOW DO I STAY ONE MORE DAY ?

 I GOT ALL MY PROJECTS DONE AND I DECIDED TO DO A " ME " DAY. AROUND 1PM I GO UPSTAIRS TO LAY DOWN AND WATCH THE PHILLIES ON MY PHONE. PHILLIES WITH A SOLID WIN AND THE ICING ON THE CAKE.....METS LOSE.

 THE PUP JOINS ME AND WE SNUGGLE A BIT. AFTER ABOUT 90 MINUTES I HEAD DOWN STAIRS TO FINISH WATCHING THE PHILLIES AND HAVE LUNCH.

 I REALLY WANTED TO JUST CHILL AND NOT THINK ABOUT TOO MUCH TODAY. SO.......

 WATCHED A MOVIE CALLED OLD GUARD 2. THE FIRST HALF  WAS NOT SO GOOD BUT OKAY BY THE END. CHARLIZE THERON IS STILL A SMOKE SHOW.

 WATCH THE SERIES AND SEASON FINALE OF THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES. IT WAS GOOD.

 SET UP MY TRAVEL ROKU AND WATCHED THE ACCOUNTANT 2. IT WAS GOOD.

 WATCHED EPISODE 1 OF THE NEW SEASON OF STAR TREK : STRANGE NEW WORLDS. THIS SERIES CONTINUES TO IMPRESS AND THE DOCTOR IS A FRIGGIN' SMOKED SHOW.

 TALK TO WHEELS AND ELDEST WHO WERE CHECKING IN ON ME.

 AGAIN , I TAKE A MUSCLE RELAXER SMALL PILL AND IT WORKS. I SLEPT TO 8:30AM.

 I TOOK A COUNT ON HOW MANY TIMES I PEED TODAY. IT STARTS WHEN I GET UP UNTIL I GO TO BED. THE COUNT WAS 10. APPARENTLY 6 - 8 IS NORMAL BUT 10 IS OKAY TOO. MAN , THE STUFF I GOOGLE.

  THURSDAY      8 - 21 - 25

 WELP , BACK HOME AND TO THE NAIL. OF COURSE SOMETHING HAPPENS. SOMETHING VERY BIG AND SOMETHING I COULD HANDLE.

 VERY BIG - VILLANOVA HAS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER ALERT. A SHITLOAD OF POLICE , EMERGENCY PEOPLE , AND THE F.B.I. ALL CONVERGE ON THE CAMPUS. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT AND IT WAS JUST A HOAX. WHOEVER MADE THIS PRANK CALL IS IN SOME SERIOUS SHIT.

 BY 11AM I WAS ON THE ROAD AND LEAVING THIS LAKEFRONT POCONO HOME I ADORE. I TELL RENTERS , FAMILY , AND FRIENDS HOW TRULY PEACEFUL AND REWARDING THIS PLACE IS BUT YOU REALLY CAN'T EXPLAIN IT UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCE IT.

 AT HOME I UNLOAD AND OF COURSE WHEELS AND OUR ELDEST GO RIGHT TO THE PUP FOR HUGS. ABOUT 4 HOURS LATER IS WHEN THE VILLANOVA ALERT WENT OFF. I BROUGHT TRASHCANS DOWN TO THE CURB AND TALKED TO MY NEIGHBOR AS HELICOPTERS WERE FLYING ABOVE US.

 I SETTLE IN AND GET ALL MY COMPUTER STUFF DONE. I DID NOT CHECK MY ANNIVERSARY POST SO WHEELS SAID , " ALOT OF PEOPLE RESPONDED. ONE FRIEND SAID SHE WAS CRYING FROM READING IT. "  I DID CHECK AND WHOA......ALOT OF PEOPLE DID RESPOND.

 NEW JERSEY GETTING SLAMMED WITH FLOODING. SOME FRIENDS AND RANDOM PEOPLE POSTING PICTURES.

 I HEAD TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT.  WHEELS PICKS ME UP AND WE GO TO BURRATA RESTAURANT IN HAVERTOWN. AS ALWAYS THE FOOD AND SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT.

 WHEELS DROPS ME OFF TO PREP MORE FOR THE OPEN JAM NIGHT. MY BARTENDER COMES IN 45 MINUTES EARLY. MAN , DO BOSSES LOVE THAT. I GAVE HER AN EXTRA PAYOUT FOR DOING THIS. I ALSO GOT TO MEET HER SISTER.

 I ROLL HOME AND WHEELS AND I WATCH 2 EPISODES OF DEXTER: RESURRECTION. AGAIN .......VERY GOOD.

 OFF TO THE BEDROOM AROUND MIDNIGHT TO CHECK EMAILS AND MORE. I ALWAYS KEEP MY SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS ON TO CHECK ON THE BARTENDER , HOST , AND PATRONS. IT WAS THAN MY ANTENNAS GO UP. I SEE A GUY BEING CREEPY. I TEXT THE BARTENDER AND THAN CALL HER. I TELL HER I AM ON MY WAY. THIS GUY WAS HITTING ON THE BARTENDER , TAKING CIGARETTE BUTTS OUT OF ASHTRAYS TO SMOKE , AND TRYING TO TAKE PEOPLE'S DRINKS OFF THE BAR WHEN THEY WERE NOT LOOKING.

 I ARRIVE AT THE NAIL AT 12:10AM.  I TELL THE BARTENDER TO HEAD HOME IMMEDIATELY TO DEFUSE THE GUY'S ADVANCES. I TELL THE HOST TO END THE OPEN JAM AND I BEGIN CLOSING. I HAD EVERYONE OUT WITHIN 20 MINUTES.

 BACK HOME I HEAD TO BED BUT CHECK EMAILS FIRST........BLOW.

    FRIDAY       8 - 22 - 25

   THIS WAS A REALLY FUN DAY AND NIGHT EXCEPT FOR.............THE PHILLIES.

 GO ON A FB MARKETPLACE RUN. THIS HUGE PROPERTY IN VILLANOVA WAS GIVING AWAY STUFF. I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT ALL BE GONE 19 HOURS AFTER THE POST. BUT , I WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY ONE THERE. I GOT A RAKE , HOE , AXE , KID'S TENT , BINGO GAME , NEW KITCHEN HANDLES , NEW BATHROOM FAUCET , LUGGAGE CASE , AND A SHEERING RAZOR.

  NEXT , I HEAD TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR A BIG NIGHT AND A NEW BARTENDER.

 BACK HOME I SHOW EVERYONE MY FB PICK-UPS.

 ELDEST CLEANS HER ROOM AND I LOAD THE VAN UP WITH TRASH AND SOME FB STUFF I AM THROWING OUT.

 I USE MY " NEW " ELECTRIC STAPLE A FIX OUR LARGE PATIO UMBRELLA AND PUT TOGETHER ANOTHER UMBRELLA TO CHANGE OUT THE RED PATIO UMBRELLA THERE. WE TOOK A VOTE AND KEPT THE " NEW " ONE. BOTH LARGE UMBRELLAS WERE FREE ON FB.

 ELDEST GOES OUT TO DINNER WITH HER FRIEND WHILE WHEELS , YOUNGEST , AND MYSELF HAVE PIZZA ON ARE PATIO UNDER THE " NEW " UMBRELLA.

 WE CHILL FOR A BIT BUT I HEAD TO THE NAIL. THE BANDS AND FANS START TO ARRIVE.

 OH , THE VILLANOVA SHOOTING INCIDENT WAS ALL A HOAX. HOLY SHIT THAT CALLED IS IN SOME DEEP DOO-DOO.

 IT WAS A FUN TIME ALL AROUND WITH REALLY GOOD MUSIC. I LIKE MY YOUNGEST FRIENDS WHO MADE AN APPEARANCE. I ADORE THEM. I ALSO TRAINED A NEW BARTENDER AND SHE WAS VERY GOOD. IT REALLY WAS GOOD FUN CROWD.

 SOME OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE STOPPED BY HOLLYWOOD AND HIS GIRLFRIEND. LATE NIGHT WE HUNG OUT TALKING. IT WAS FUN.

 ONE REGULAR TIPPED OUR BARTENDERS OVER $150. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THEIR HAPPY FACES.

 BY 1:30AM WE ROLL OUT. WE GIVE A PATRON A RIDE UP THE STREET TO ANOTHER BAR.

 MY YOUNGEST AND I ARRIVE HOME AND CHILL TO 2:30AM. IT WAS TIME TO HEAD TO BED.

 THE ONLY THING THAT SLIGHTLY RUINED MY NIGHT WAS THE PHILLIES UNSTOPPABLE CLOSER DURAN BLOWING A 4 - 3 LEAD IN THE 9TH. REALAMUTO THROWING THE BALL INTO LEFT FIELD WAS THE GO AHEAD RUN. NATIONALS , WHO ARE THE BEST FUCKING LAST PLACE TEAM EVER STEAL BACK A GAME IN WHICH THE PHILLIES CAME BACK FROM A 1ST INNING 3 - 0 DEFICIT ONLY TO LOSE 5 - 4......BLOW. OH, THE METS WIN SO THAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE......BLOW.

 OH , JUST ONE MORE THING , ONE OF  OUR BEER CHILLERS IS FILLING UP WITH WATER.......NICE........BLOW.

    SATURDAY      8 - 23 - 25

 TOTAL PANIC.......

  BEAUTIFUL DAY - AND JUST LIKE THAT IT FEELS LIKE AUTUMN. WASN'T IT 95 DEGREES JUST HOURS AGO FOR 4 STRAIGHT WEEKS.?

 ANOTHER FB MARKETPLACE RUN. THIS TIME JUST 3 BLOCKS FROM THE NAIL. I PICKED UP A POWER MITRE.

 STOP AT THE BANK TO WITHDRAW $300. I HAVE A NICE CONVERSATION WITH THE BANK TELLER ABOUT ITALY.

 SPEND ABOUT 4 HOURS AT THE NAIL PREPPING FOR THE NIGHT. I WAS EXHAUSTED.

 I ASKED WHEELS TO BRING ME TIN FOIL. TWICE A YEAR I CLEAN OUT THE BEER BINS AND LINE THEM WITH TIN FOIL AT THE BOTTOM. WHEELS ARRIVES AND DELIVERS THE TIN FOIL. SHE ALSO TAKES HER CHECK BOOK THAT I NEEDED FOR ACCOUNT NUMBERS.

 I GET ABOUT 20 THINGS DONE AND DECIDE TO HEAD HOME. I AM JUST SPENDING WAY TOO MUCH ENERGY. I DECIDE TO START CLEANING UP AND PUT TOOLS AWAY IN MY CAR. IT WAS THAN I REALIZE.......WHERE IS THE $300 I JUST GOT FROM THE BANK ?

 I GO IN PANIC MODE. I AM SEARCHING EVERYWHERE.....THE CAR , OUTSIDE , TOOL BAGS , TRASHCANS , THE BATHROOMS , MY BOXERS , AND THAN I CALL THE BANK AND TALK TO THE SAME TELLER I SAW 3 1/2 HOURS AGO. SHE SAYS SOMETHING TO ME THAT RAISES MY ANTENNAS IMMEDIATELY. SHE SAYS , " I SAW YOU PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET ". SO , WHY DID THIS RAISE MY ANTENNAS ? FIRST , HOW THE HELL DO YOU SEE MY POCKETS WHEN SITTING BEHIND THE LARGE COUNTER WHERE YOUR EYES JUST PEEK OVER AND SECOND...........I NEVER , AND I MEAN NEVER EVER PUT MONEY IN MY POCKETS WHEN WEARING MY SHORTS. THIS MAKES ME WONDER , " DID SHE EVEN GIVE ME THE MONEY ? " I WAS TALKING WITH HER SO MUCH I COULD OFF FORGOTTEN. WHEN I CALLED I WAS FULLY EXPECTING HER TO SAY , " OMG , THANK GOODNESS YOU CALLED. WE CLOSE IN 25 MINUTES AND YOU FORGOT YOUR WITHDRAW MONEY. "

 CONTINUED - I RACE TO THE BANK TO SEARCH THE PARKING LOT AND HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH THE TELLER. I AM TOTALLY GOING TO TALK TO A MANAGER TOO AND SEE IF THEIR SHIFT SHORT $300.  I CALL WHEELS AND MY YOUNGEST AND OF COURSE THEY DO NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONES. I AM IN FULL PANIC MODE AS I AM DRIVING THINKING I NOW HAVE TO WITHDRAW ANOTHER $300 BECAUSE I NEED IT FOR TOMORROW EARLY MORNING.

 CONTINUED - I AM PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT AND MY YOUNGEST CALLS ME BACK ON SPEAKER PHONE WITH WHEELS.  I TELL THEM , " OH MY GOD , I LOST THE $300 I GOT FROM THE BANK THIS MORNING. " IN THE BACK GROUND I HEAR WHEELS SAY , " OH , THE MONEY WAS IN THE CHECK BOOK. I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME TO TAKE IT HOME. "  OK , REMEMBER THE SCENE IN FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF WHEN CAMERON AND FERRIS REALIZE ALOT OF EXTRA MILES WERE ADDED TO HIS DAD'S PRIZED FERRARI BY THE PARKING LOT ATTENDANTS AND CAMERON SCREAMS GOING INTO A COMA LIKE FACE EXPRESSION.....THIS WAS ME. I BELIEVE SQUIRRELS FELL OUT OF TREES I SCREAMED SO LOUD. I CALMED DOWN QUICKLY AND DROVE HOME. THANK GOODNESS BECAUSE I WOULD OF MADE A SCENE AT THE BANK.

  PHILLIES REBOUND WITH A 6-4 WIN OVER THE BEST LAST PLACE TEAM EVER.....THE NATIONALS. METS WIN SO NO HELP FROM THE BRAVES. " DURANTULA " ALMOST BLOWS THE SAVE AGAIN. I TOTALLY JINXED HIM.

 ALL OF HAVE A NICE DINNER OUT ON THE PATIO. MAN , THIS IS PERFECT WEATHER.

 BACK TO THE NAIL AND THE ACTS START LOADING IN. THE FIRST ACT IS 45 MINUTES LATE. HE IS VERY LUCKY I DID NOT SEE HIM WALK IN BECAUSE I WOULD OF CANCELLED HIM.

 THE NIGHT WAS SLOW STEADY BUT I DID ENJOY THE ECLECTIC MUSIC.

 SCANNER WORKS AGAIN. THREE VILLANOVA STUDENTS CAME IN AND IT SCANNED " 0 " AGE. THIS MEANS THE ID WAS FAKE. I HAVE A RULE HERE OR A " GAME " AS I TELL THE KIDS , " IF ONE OF YOU SCANS UNDER 21 , YOU ALL HAVE TO LEAVE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY ? " THEY ALL LEFT WITHOUT A FLINCH.

 AT HOME BY MIDNIGHT WE DECIDE TO START A MOVIE CALLED 28 DAYS LATER. MY YOUNGEST 2 FRIENDS SAID , " IT IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER !!!! ". OH MY GOD.....THIS WAS THE WORST MOVIE I EVER SCENE AND IT WAS A CARBON COPY OF THE WALKING DEAD......ONLY SHOT HORRIBLY.

 OFF TO BED BY 2AM. I SHOULD NOT OF HAD A 2ND NIGHTCAP.  MAN , I HAD A HEADACHE WAKING UP AT 3AM , 5AM , AND AGAIN AT 6:30AM...........BLOW.

  SUNDAY      8 - 24 - 25

 WHAT'S BEHIND THE RED DOOR ? AND BEES WERE PISSED.

 ANOTHER FB RUN. THIS TIME IS IS A NEW PACKAGE OF TRAILER WIRING.

 TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT. I DID SOME PROJECTS , HANG SOME NEW L.E.D. STAGE LIGHTS , AND MADE A BEER LIST.

 BACK HOME I CHILL FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. I MOVE THE CARS AROUND , ROLL OUT THE TRAILER , AND ACCESS MY RIDING MOWER. I CUT THE LAWN.

 NEXT , I USE THE SELF PROPELLING PUSH MOWER AND WITHIN 1 MINUTE I FELT BITES ON MY LOWER LEGS........BEES. I DISTURBED A BEE HIVE ON THE GROUND IN THE CENTER OF A TREE. I GOT STUNG 5 TIMES. I FELT BAD ABOUT USING RAID TO KILL THE NEST BUT IT DID NOT WORK SO BEES 1 - ME - 0

 AFTER USING COME CALAMINE LOTION AND ALOE FROM A PLANT WE HAVE I GET BACK TO MOWING. MY YOUNGEST DOES THE LEAF/ GRASS CLIPPING BLOWING.

 I REST AGAIN AND PUT MORE ALOE LOTION ON MY STINGS. IT IS AMAZING AS VENOM WAS STILL PUMPING AFTER THE BEES DISCONNECTS ITS ABDOMEN. I PULL THIS SLIMY SLIME OUT WITH STINGER ATTACHED.

 PHILLIES HOLD ON FOR A GOOD 3 - 2 WIN OVER THE BEST LAST PLACE TEAM EVER. THE METS LOSE......WHO ARE THE NEXT OPPONENT FOR THE PHILLIES.

 SHOWER AND SHAVE AND ALL OF US HEAD TO VITA. WHAT A COOL UNDERGROUND SPEAK EASY TYPE OF PLACE. THIS ITALIAN DINNER WAS TOPS IN MY BOOKS FROM SCENERY , SERVICE , AND FOOD.  IT IS PRICY BUT WAS WORTH THE EXPERIENCE. WHAT IS KINDA COOL - YOU ENTER AND IT IS A ICE CREAM / GELATO SHOP. YOU GET A PASSWORD TO ENTER A BIG RED DOOR. BEHIND IT , IS A BEAUTIFUL DECORATED ROOM FOR DINNER SERVING. WE LOVED IT.

 I POSTED SOME PICTURES.

 WE DROP OFF OUR YOUNGEST AND MAKE VERY GOOD TIME HOME WHERE WE ARE GREETED BY A VERY HAPPY PUP.

 WHEELS AND I WATCH AN EPISODE OF DEXTER: RESURRECTION. AGAIN , IT IS GOOD.

 I HEAD TO MY BEDROOM TO CHECK EMAILS , WATCH THE NEWS , AND PLAY A GAME OF POKER.

 I TAKE A MUSCLE RELAXING PILL AND SLEEP OKAY. I ONLY GOT UP ONCE.

 MONDAY       8 - 25 - 25

 OUR GAS CARD WAS COMPROMISED. WE STOPPED THE ACCOUNT AND GOT NEW CARDS 2 WEEKS LATER. I AM PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHO IT WAS.

 DID SOME COMPUTER WORK AND THAN TOOK A RIDE TO THE NAIL.

 BACK HOME I GET SUPER TIRED AND NAP. BY 10AM I BEGIN LOADING UP TO HEAD EAST.

  THE PUP AND I MAKE GOOD TIME.  I WALK HER AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL HERE.  SHE DOES HER THING AND I UNLOAD MY STUFF.

 I MAKE A PUNCH LIST OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE. THE MAIN ONES ARE SECURING A TRACK FOR A SCREEN DOOR AND RE-HANGING A BROKEN TOWEL BAR. THE OTHER STUFF IS MOSTLY CLEANING.

 I WALK THE PUP AGAIN AND POP MY HEAD UP ON TO THE BEACH. THERE ARE STILL A SHIT LOAD OF PEOPLE HERE. THIS IS SOMETHING I DO NOT LIKE.........EXCEPT THE 2 SMOKING HOT GIRLS IN SUPER SKIMPY BIKINIS. GOOD GOD IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN A GOOD LOOKING WOMAN ? I STARED AT THEM (FROM A DISTANCE) FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND WALKED BACK HOME DEPRESSED. WHY ? I 'M FAT AND WHEN WOMEN LOOK AT ME THEY THINK , " I BET HE NEVER MISSED A JACK & JILL TRUCK."

 GET SOME MORE EMAILING DONE WITH BANDS. MONDAYS ARE MY LONG DAYS. I ALSO TEXTED THE BARTENDERS.

 SPORTS TALK RADIO HOST TOTALLY JINXING THE PHILLIES SAYING , " THE DIVISION RACE IS OVER......PHILLIES WILL WIN IT AND THE METS ARE DONE. " I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE LIKE THIS. THEY SPEW THEIR OPINION DAY IN AND DAY OUT SO FUCKING CONFIDENTLY THAN WHEN THEY ARE WRONG JUST SAY , " OH , I WAS WRONG. " AND MOVE TO THE NEXT SUBJECT.

 PHILLIES UP 3 - 0 ON THE METS WITH SANCHEZ OUR BEST PITCHER WHO NEVER FUCKS UP. ON ONE PITCH HE TRIPS AND NEVER THROWS THE BALL. THIS IS A BALK. SO A PLAYER HE JUST WALKED MOVES TO 2ND BASE. KRUK SAYS , " THAT WON'T BOTHER HIM ". SANCHEZ GETS FUCKING SHELLACKED THE NEXT 3 INNINGS AND THE PHILLIES BULLPEN AFTER THAT. METS WIN 28 - 3. METS WILL WIN THE DIVISION WITHIN 2 WEEKS.

 I WATCH SOME MATCH GAME. IT WAS OKAY TO GOOD.

 I WATCH THE 2ND SEASON OPENER OF PEACEMAKER. IT WAS VERY GOOD.

 PLAYED SOME FREE POKER AND DID WELL. PLAYED SOME REAL MONEY POKER AND DID NOT DO SO WELL.

 TALK TO MY MOM , A BROTHER  , WHEELS , AND MY BEER REP.

 WALK THE PUP AT NIGHT WHERE THE TEMPERATURES DROPPED INTO THE HIGH 50"S.

 OFF TO BED AND I SLEPT LIKE ASS. OH , A RENTER FUCKED UP THE TV SETTINGS AND IT TOOK ME A SOLID 10 MINUTES TO FIGURE IT OUT. LUCKILY , I AM GETTING GOOD AT THIS. NO WONDER THE CABLE BOX WAS UNPLUGGED.

 STORY - I AM CHANGING LETTERS ON THE MARQUEE AND I HEAR , " HEY , I'M IMPRESSED YOU DO THAT EVERY DAY. " I TURN AND IT WAS A HAVERTOWN POLICE OFFICER ACROSS THE STREET PULLING OUT. HE PAUSED TO TALK TO ME FOR A MINUTE.

 STORY II - A PERSON EMAILS ME WANTING TO BOOK A SURPRISE PARTY FOR HIS WIFE. HE WANTS THE NAIL TO PAY FOR THE BAND VIA CREDIT CARD AND ANY CATERING FOOD THAN HE WILL RE-INBURSE ME. WHY , HE MAKES A COMMISSION ON SALES. MY ANTENNAS IMMEDIATELY GO UP. I CONTACT THE BAND AND THEY ARE FROM CANADA. THEY REPLY QUICKLY AND THE BAND BERATES THIS GUY AS AN IDIOT AND SCAMMER. I STOP ALL CONTACT WITH THE SCAMMER.

 TUESDAY       8 - 26 - 25

 IT IS VERY NICE HERE BUT I AM NOT A FAN OF SO MANY PEOPLE.

 WALKED THE PUP SEVERAL TIMES TODAY. I DO LIKE WALKING HER ALONG THE TOP OF A RIDGE ON A SAND HILL. THE OCEAN , BEACH , AND BIKINIS WERE BEAUTIFUL.

 SETTLED IN FOR DINNER.

 TALKED TO WHEELS AND ELDEST.

 KEEP AN EYE ON MY EMAILS NON-STOP.

OUR NEW " BEST CLOSER EVER " IS NOW LOOKING MEDIOCRE AT BEST AS HE GAVE UP 4 STRAIGHT SINGLES TO LOSE THE GAME. PHILLIES HAVE LOST 9 STRAIGHT IN NEW YORK. THEY WILL GET SWEPT TOMORROW BECAUSE OF OUR STARTING PITCHER WALKER WHO ABSOLUTELY BLOWS.

 I KEEP HEARING THAT DAMN SPORTS TALK HOST SAYING " THE PHILLIES ARE A LOCK AND THIS DIVISION IS OVER. ".........FUCKING IDIOT.

 WATCHED THE NEW SEASON OPENER OF FUBAR WITH ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER. IT WAS EH TO OKAY. SEASON 3 WAS CANCELLED ALREADY RIGHT AFTER SEASON 2 EPISODE WAS RELEASED.

 OFF TO BED AROUND MIDNIGHT. I WAS PRETTY TIRED. I SLEPT DECENT BUT GETTING UP FOR BATHROOM BREAKS BLOWS.

  IN MINNEAPOLIS , AT A CHURCH , KIDS ARE PRAYING ON THEIR 2ND DAY OF SCHOOL. A PSYCHO COWARD WHITE GUY SHOOTS INTO THE CHURCH KILLING 2 YOUNG KIDS 8 AND 10 YEARS OLD. OTHERS WERE HURT.

OF COURSE , IT IS A WHITE GUY WITH NO PRIOR RECORDS AND JUST WENT BAT SHIT CRAZY WITH GUNS PURCHASED LEGALLY. HE KILLED HIMSELF.......FUCKING LOW LIFE COWARD MOTHER FUCKER !!

 WE SEEM TO HAVE MASS MURDERING EVERY OTHER WEEK. I SWEAR TO CHRIST WE NEED TO GET RID OF ALL GUNS. WHAT THE FUCK CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT DO YOU WANT ?

MY LAW WOULD BE :

 - IF YOU OWN A GUN IT CAN NEVER LEAVE YOUR HOUSE , PROPERTY , OR VEHICLE.

 WHAT A DAMN SHAME.

 CANADA - ZERO MASS MURDERS.

 GREAT BRITAIN - 3% OF WHAT THE UNITED STATES HAS IN GUN RELATED CRIMES.....THREE FUCKING PERCENT !!!

  ON ANOTHER SUBJECT , I SAID I WAS OKAY WITH TRUMP USING ARMED SERVICES TO HELP WITH CRIME. WASHINGTON D.C. DISTRICT CLAIMED CAR JACKING DROPPED 80%.  IF THE MILITARY AND POLICE CAN WORK TOGETHER THAN WHY THE FUCK NOT HAVE A MORE UNIFIED PRESENCE TO SCARE THESE FUCKING ASSHOLE CRIME MOTHER FUCKERS ??!!

 THURSDAY      8 - 28 - 25

  ANOTHER PICTURE PERFECT DAY. I HAD ONE THING I HAD TO DO......TAKE THE PUP TO THE DOG PARK. AROUND 12 NOON WE HEAD THERE AND PLENTY OF DOGS TO PLAY WITH. OWNERS WERE COOL AS WE TALKED. ONE THING THAT KINDA SUCKED WAS THE GAZEBO WAS TAKEN DOWN FOR RESTORATION. IT SHOULD BE REBUILT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS............WHICH MEANS A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

 SEEING THE KIDS WHO WERE SHOT IN MINNEAPOLIS IS JUST HEART BREAKING. I JUST DO NOT SEE WHY THE U.S.A. SHOULD NOT TAKE SOME ADVICE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.

 KINDA WEIRD I HAVE BEEN KEEPING TO MYSELF ALL WEEK. I JUST DO NOT FEEL LIKE SOCIALIZING OR EVEN GONG OUT TO GET FOOD OR BOOZE.

 HELPED A RENTER OUT LATE NIGHT GETTING A VEHICLE GUEST PASS AT OUR MOUNTAIN HOUSE. IT WAS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

 YOUNGEST GETS INVITED TO THE PHILLIES GAME AND THE SEATS WERE BEHIND HOME PLATE. SO THAT IS KINDA COOL. OH WHAT ELSE IS COOL ? SCHWARBER HIT 4 HOME RUNES TO WIN THE GAME 19 - 3. THE " BANK " WAS GOING CRAZY.

 A LITTLE TRIVIAL.......SCHWARBER COULD OF SET A RECORD WITH A 5TH HOMERUN.  IT WAS THE 9TH INNING AND ATLANTA RAN OUT OF PITCHERS SO THEY PUT AN OUTFIELDER IN TO PITCH. HE BASICALLY WAS LOBBING THE BALL. IT REMINDED ME OF THE EXTRA INNING ALL-STAR GAME THAT SCHWARBER HIT 3 HOME RUNS ON 3 SWINGS TO WIN THE GAME. I WAS THINKING CITIZEN'S BANK PARK IS GOING TO ERUPT. BUT , THIS IS PHILADELPHIA AND HE HAD A POP OUT TO SHORT CENTER FIELD. AGAIN , THIS WAS TRIVIAL BUT MAN IT WOULD OF BEEN SO MUCH FUN IF HE HIT A 5TH ONE.

 AN INTERNET INFLUENCER I LIKE NAMED KELLEY LORRAINE ANNOUNCED SHE IS GETTING A DIVORCE. I FELT REALLY BAD FOR HER BECAUSE THIS COUPLE WAS ALOT OF FUN AND LAUGHS ON THEIR POSTS THEY MAKE. I REALLY FELT SO BAD FOR HER I SENT HER AN INSTAGRAM MESSAGE. SHE WILL NEVER SEE IT SINCE SHE HAS OVER A MILLION FOLLOWERS.

 I DID DO SOME LATE NIGHT PACKING OF MY TOOLS TO START THE PROCESS. I AM ROLLING OUT TOMORROW SINCE A RENTER IS COMING IN.

 WATCHED A COUPLE OF EPISODES OF START TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS.  I WAS SO-SO AT BEST ON 2 OF THE 3 I WATCHED. ONE OF THE EPISODES WAS GOOD. I WILL TELL YOU THE ACTRESS JESS BUSH WHO PLAYS NURSE CHAPEL IS AN F'N SMOKE SHOW.

 A 2ND EPISODE OF PEACEMAKER WAS RELEASED FOR THE NEW SEASON. AGAIN........VERY GOOD.

 I THINK I PLAYED 10 GAMES OF POKER. I PLAYED ONE REAL MONEY GAME AND OF COURSE GOT SUCKED OUT ON. I AM SO GOOD AT FREE GAMES BUT REAL MONEY.....WORST LUCK EVER.

    FRIDAY        8 - 29 - 25

 A LONG DAY AND NIGHT......BUT BOTH WERE GOOD.

 SLEPT DECENT AND BY 11AM I HAD COMPUTER WORK DONE , FED AND WALKED THE PUP ON THE BEACH  , AND PACKED UP.

 STOP AT ATNEY'S GRUB. THIS PLACE IS IN MY TOP 5 FOR BEST SANDWICHES. I PICKED UP A CHICKEN CUTLET ITALIAN AND A CHICKEN CUTLET VENICE FOR WHEELS , MYSELF , AND YOUNGEST.

 DROVE BY A DAIRY QUEEN. I PAST THE ENTRANCE BY 100 FEET. I COULD NOT BACK UP ON A MAIN ROAD SO I KEPT GOING. MY RULE IS " IF THERE ARE 2 OR LESS PEOPLE IN LINE , I'LL STOP FOR ICE CREAM ".

 CONTINUE DRIVING AND GO BY A MCDONALDS. I GET IN A DOUBLE LINE TO GET A M&M MCFLURRY. I PLACE THE ORDER AND NOTICE THERE ARE 8 CARS AHEAD OF ME. I AM RUNNING TOO LATE SO I DRIVE OUT OF THE LINE AND CONTINUE DRIVING.........0 - 2. GOD WAS TELLING ME , " I CAN DO THIS AT EVERY DRIVE-THRU FATTY. "

 ARRIVE IN PHILLY AND PICK UP MY YOUNGEST. WE CHILL A BIT AND SHE HAS HER CHICKEN CUTLET SANDWICH.

 NEXT , WE HEAD TO THE AIRPORT WHERE WHEELS FLIGHT FROM HOME OFFICE IS 90 MINUTES LATE.  I PULL OVER AT TH ENTRANCE AND WALK THE PUP. WE CHILL AND I SAY , " THEY USED TO PUSH CARS PARKED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT NOT ANYMORE.....I THINK. " 15 MINUTES LATER......A COP SHOWS UP....PUSHING CARS. I DROVE UP 2 BLOCKS AND PARKED. I DID THIS TWICE AND THAN ONE MORE TIME IN THE TERMINAL UNTIL WHEELS CAME OUT.

 ALL OF US HEAD TO THE NAIL FOR A BEER DELIVERY. I KEPT PUSHING IT BACK BECAUSE WHEELS PLANE WAS LATE. WE ARRIVE AND THE BEER DELIVERY GUYS AREN'T THERE. WELP .......PLAN B.

 I DRIVE THEM HOME AND UNLOAD. I RETURN TO THE NAIL AND WHEN I WAS 1 MINUTE AWAY THE BEER GUYS CALL ME. I STOCK BEER AND PREP FOR THE NIGHT. IT'S LABOR DAY WEEKEND SO I WAS NOT EXPECTING A BIG CROWD. I WAS WRONG.

 BACK HOME I TRY TO NAP BUT CAN'T. I HAVE NO DINNER AND RETURN TO THE NAIL. IT WAS ONLY 20 MINUTES WHERE I TEXTED THE BARTENDER TO COME IN. THE NAIL NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME.

 THE BANDS WERE REALLY GOOD AND FUN AND MAN DID THE BARTENDER RUN ALL NIGHT.

 FIRST TWO PEOPLE IN ARE KINDA NUDGES. WELL , THE LADY IS AS SHE ASKED ME TO LOWER THE HOUSE MUSIC. I ENDED UP TURNING IT OFF WHICH I DISLIKED. WHEN THE BARTENDER CAME IN WE WOULD TAKE TURNS RAISING THE VOLUME UP ONE DECIBEL AT A TIME.

 A BARTENDER FROM HOME HELPED US GET THE PHILLIES ON USING HER APPLE+ ACCOUNT. AFTER A DEVASTATING SWEEP BY THE METS THE PHILLIES BOUNCE BACK AND WIN GAME 2 OVER THE BRAVES. IT WAS VERY GOOD TO SEE OUR CLOSER SHUT THE DOOR IN THIS 2 - 1 WIN.

 ONE FEMALE PATRON IN SHORT SHORT HOLY SHIT SHORT SHORTS DANCED NON-STOP FROM 8PM TO MIDNIGHT. I FANTASIZED ABOUT DANCING WITH HER APPLE ASS BUT I AM AN ELEPHANT AND THIS ELEPHANT WILL NOT ATTRACT ANOTHER WOMAN THE REST OF HIS FATTY FAT LIFE.

 LAST BAND HAS A DANCE SONG. THE LAST TIME THEY PLAYED HERE I TOLD THE FEMALE LEAD SINGER , " I WAS ALL READY TO DANCE WITH YOU. " SHE GIGGLE AND SAID , " NEXT TIME ". THIS SONG SHE GOES OUT IN THE AUDIENCE AND DANCES WITH PEOPLE. WELL , AS THE SONG PLAYED I WAS BROUGHT BACK TO 6TH GRADE DANCE AT MY ELEMENTARY  SCHOOL. I REFLECT BACK AS I SEE MY LITTLE SKINNY SELF STANDING ON THE EDGE OF THE DANCE FLOOR. NOT ONE GIRL ASKED ME TO DANCE THE WHOLE NIGHT. THE LEAD SIGNER DID THE SAME. A SMALL TEAR FELL AS I RE-SAW THIS MEMORY.

 LATE NIGHT WE HANG WITH THE LAST BAND AND THE FEMALE LEAD SINGER WAS SUPER COOL. OH , THE GIRL IN THE SHORT SHORTS.....STILL DANCING TO OUR HOUSE MUSIC.

 WE ROLL HOME AROUND 1AM. WE MAKE A NIGHTCAP AND BY 1:30AM I HAD TO HIT THE BED. THAT , MY FRIENDS , IS A LONG FRICKIN' DAY.

  SATURDAY        8 - 30 - 25

 WHAT IS A GOOD NIGHT ? A BIG CROWD AT THE NAIL , A PHILLIES WIN , AND A METS LOSS.

 HEADACHE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND COULD NOT FIND ASPIRIN......BLOW. AT 3AM I DID FIGURE OUT I HAD ADVIL IN MY TRAVEL BOX.

 DRIVE WHEELS TO HER BROTHER'S HOUSE. HER AND FAMILY ARE HEADING NORTH FOR AN ANNUAL FAMILY RE-UNION.

 BACK HOME I GET SOME THINGS DONE AND WRITE A LONG EMAIL TO PHILLIPS GAS STATION. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE HACKED FUEL PURCHASES.

 BY 11AM MY YOUNGEST AND I HEAD TO THE NAIL. WE PREP FOR THE NIGHT.

 WE DECIDE TO STOP AT GAZZOS STEAKS FOR LUNCH. THIS WAS A VERY GOOD DECISION. THERE WAS NO ONE THERE AT 11:45AM SO WE TALKED TO THE OWNER. WE DECIDE TO TRY THE TRUFFLE CHEESE STEAK ($25 FOR ONE) AND ADD A CHICKEN CUTLET SANDWICH TOO. WHILE STILL TALKING TO THE OWNER ABOUT THE NAIL AND HIS BUSINESS HE SAYS , " THIS LUNCH IS ON ME ". YEP , THAT WAS VERY COOL OF HIM. WE DECIDE TO EAT AT THEIR PICNIC TABLES WHICH WAS VERY NICE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY. OH , 20 PEOPLE CAME AFTER US SO WE TIMED IT PERFECT. IT WAS SUCH A GOOD TIME  AND GOOD FOOD TO JUST CHILL WITH MY YOUNGEST.

 HEAD TO SOUTH PHILLY AND DROP HER OFF. SHE IS THROWING A BIRTHDAY PARTY AT HER NEW APARTMENT TONIGHT.

 A QUESTION I ASKED MY YOUNGEST. IT CAME ABOUT WHEN I WAS STOPPING FOR FUEL AT ALL AFRICAN AMERICAN GAS STATION. IT WAS PACKED AND I WAS THE ONLY WHITE PERSON. I TRY TO TREAT ALL PEOPLE THE SAME AND I FELT COMFORTABLE BUT I THOUGHT OF WHEN IT IS REVERSE LIKE SOMETIMES AT THE NAIL WHERE IT IS ALL WHITE PEOPLE. I HOPE IN THIS SITUATION AFRICAN AMERICANS FEEL COMFORTABLE WHEN THEY COME INTO MY VENUE.

 BACK HOME I TRY TO DO COMPUTER WORK BUT MAN DO I GOT TIRED. I NAP FOR AN HOUR OR SO.

 TALK TO A BROTHER FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES.

 I HEAD TO THE NAIL AND WE GET IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED. I CALL IN A 2ND BARTENDER. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND WE HAVE 2 BIG CROWDS BACK TO BACK.

 ALOT OF FOOD ORDERS , PHOTOGRAPHERS , VIDEOGRAPHERS , AND MORE. EVERYONE WAS COOL FOR THE MOST PART. OUR STAFF WAS RUNNING FOR 4 SOLID HOURS. MUSIC WAS GOOD.

 OF COURSE RIGHT AS WE ARE ABOUT TO LEAVE 4 COLLEGE KIDS COME IN. I TELL THEM , " OK , READY TO PLAY A GAME ? IF ONE OF YOU SCAN UNDER 21 YOU ALL HAVE TO LEAVE. " THEY AGREE AND THEY ALL SCANNED OVER 21. WE STAYED OPEN ANOTHER 30 MINUTES FOR THEM.

 PHILLIES DOWN 2 - 1 IN THE 10TH INNING. I WAS SO BUMMING THAT THE BRAVES TOOK THE LEAD. THE METS LOST SO I FIGURED WELL AT LEAST WE DO NOT LOSE GROUND ON OUR FIRST PLACE LEAD. THAN , TREA TURNER , WHO HAD HIS BEST GAME OF THE YEAR BOTH DEFENSIVELY AND OFFENSIVELY CAME TO THE PLATE. THE BASES ARE LOADED , 2 OUTS , BOTTOM OF THE 10TH INNING WITH TURNER UP TO BAT. HE HITS THE BALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND IT SCOOTS THROUGH TO THE OUTFIELD. 2 RUNS SCORE AND THE PHILLIES WIN ON A WALK-OFF SINGLE BY TURNER. EVEN THE ANNOUNCER SAID , " WELL , TURNER HAS DONE EVERYTHING TONIGHT , WHY NOT WIN THE GAME ? "....AND HE DID. MAN DID THIS MAKE MY NIGHT !!!

 HEADED HOME , HAD A NIGHTCAP , AND TRIED TO WATCH AN EPISODE OF STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS. IT WAS THE BEST ONE BUT HALF WAY THROUGH I WAS FALLING ASLEEP.

 SUNDAY     8 - 31 - 25

 AND SO SUMMER IS COMING TO AN END. IT ALWAYS SEEMS WAY TOO FAST.

 EARLY MORNING I DECIDE TO HEDGE CUT OUR BUSHES ALONG THE DRIVEWAY FENCE. MY GOD THEY GROW SO FAST. OF COURSE I MADE SOME MISTAKES :

 - SET-UP HEDGER , 100' ORANGE EXTENSION CORD , SOME ZIP TIES , GORILLA LADDER , AND A RADIO. IT WAS A GOOD SIZE LANDSCAPING PROJECT. IT IS A BIG LITTLE JOB.

 - ABOUT 90 MINUTES IN I SEE A SPARK .........I F'N CUT RIGHT THROUGH MY ORANGE EXTENSION CORD.

 - GATHER SOME ELECTRIC TOOLS AND REPAIR THE EXTENSION CORD. I CONTINUE WITH ANOTHER 90 MINUTES OF HEDGING.

 - GO AROUND FENCE AND THROW ALL HEDGE CLIPPINGS ON TO MY SIDE. I ALSO ZIP TIE 4 WIRES TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY HANG SO LOW.

 - NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND WIELDING THE HEDGER LIKE CONAN THE BARBARIAN I MAKE BIG MISTAKE. I F'N PERFORM AN OVERHAND CHOP WITH HEDGER IN MY HAND AND HIT A WIRE ABOVE ME. I CUT RIGHT THROUGH IT.......SHIT. I CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER 60 MINUTES AND THE WHOLE TIME I AM WAITING FOR A NEIGHBOR TO COME OUT SAYING THEY LOST THEIR CABLE TV OR PHONE LINE.

 I NOW HAVE 2 DANGLING CUT WIRES HANGING OVER MY HEDGES.......BLOW.

 I PUT ALL TOOLS AWAY AND FIX A FLAG ON OUR GARAGE.

 INSIDE I TAKE A SHOWER AND THE PUP JOINS ME. WELL , MAYBE I GAVE HER A WELL NEED SHAMPOO SHOWER.

 RIDE MY VTX TO THE NAIL AROUND 4:30PM. I STOP FOR GAS AND THE DAMN GAS NOZZLE WILL NOT WORK. I ROLL MY BIKE TO THE NEXT GAS PUMP AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. I FINALLY FIGURE OUT THE NOZZLE NEEDS TO BE AIR TIGHT TO FUEL MY MOTORCYCLE. THIS NEVER HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE.

 OH , I AM PRETTY SURE I FILLED THE CAR BEHIND ME WITH THE FIRST PUMP I TRIED.

 DO SOME PROJECTS FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AT THE NAIL.

 BACK HOME I ORDER CHIPOTLE FOR MY ELDEST WHILE I MAKE SOME BURGERS.  WE EAT OUTSIDE ON THE PATIO ON THIS BEAUTIFUL NIGHT. OH , SHE TAKES A RIDE THERE AND THE QUESADILLAS SHE WAS GOING TO GET ME CAN ONLY BE PREPARED IF ORDERED ONLINE. HOW FUCKING STUPID ITS THAT ?

 WE TAKE A RIDE TO HOPE'S COOKIES FOR ICE CREAM. IT WAS GOOD.

 TALKED TO MY YOUNGEST AND SAID , " MAN , I AM JONESING FOR ICE CREAM. " SHE REPLIES , " YOU'RE ALWAYS JONESING FOR ICE CREAM. "

 WATCH THE PHILLIES SHIT THE BED WITH A 1 - 0 LEAD. OUR BULLPEN LETS US DOWN AGAIN. BRAVES SCORE 1 RUN IN THE 8TH AND 2 IN THE 9TH TO WIN 3 - 1. BRAVES BULLPEN WAS PERFECT AND OURS SUCKED ROYAL ASS. THE ONLY SILVER LINING WAS THE METS LOST AGAIN. MAN , BEING A PHILLY FAN BLOWS....SO MANY UPS AND DOWNS.

 TALK TO MY YOUNGEST AND HER BIRTHDAY PARTY WAS A SUCCESS.

 WATCHED AN EPISODE OF STAR TREK ; STRANGE NEW WORLDS. THEY DECIDED TO DO A DOCUMENTARY STYLE EPISODE. IT WAS HORRIBLE.

 OFF TO THE BEDROOM AROUND 11PM. I CHECK EMAILS AND PLAY 2 GAMES OF POKER.

 I SLEPT OKAY AT BEST.

  MONDAY      9 - 1 - 25

 A VERY RARE LABOR DAY MONDAY SHOW. AGAIN , I COULD NOT BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOWED UP. IT WAS SUPER COOL TO SEE. BUT..............THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING.

 PER USUAL I FOUGHT SLEEP ALL FRIGGIN' NIGHT.

 MONDAYS ARE LONG COMPUTER DAYS. I STARTED AT 4:30AM AND WAS DONE AROUND 11AM.

 OUTSIDE I WEED THE FRONT GARDEN. GOOD GOD THE " 3 FOOT A DAY " WEED WITH WHITE FLOWERS WAS GROWING UP ON TREE BRANCHES AND TOPS OF BUSHES.  I SPENT ABOUT 90 MINUTES PULLING THEM OUT FROM EVERYWHERE. I EVEN TOOK SOME TIME REMOVING IVY GROWING UP OUR FRONT MAIN TREE.

 BACK INSIDE I AM PRETTY TIRED. I TURN ON THE A/C , CHECK EMAILS , AND TRY TO REST.

 WHEELS COMES HOME AFTER 3 DAYS AT A NORTHERN VISIT TO FAMILY RE-UNION. FOOD , HAY RIDES , FIREWORKS , AND MORE. IT WAS A VERY GOOD TIME AND I WAS HAPPY FOR HER BECAUSE HER SISTER CAME IN TO JOIN THE GET TOGETHER. THE SISTER HAS NOT ATTENDED ONE IN 15 YEARS.  ANYWAY , WE DO DINNER TOGETHER AS SHE TELLS ME STORIES OF HER WEEKEND.

 MY BUCKET LIST - TO SEE A LIVE AIR SHOW WITH THE BLUE ANGELS , ARMY GOLDEN NIGHTS , AND MORE. THIS JUST HAPPENS TO BE IN WILDWOOD THIS WEEKEND. HMMMMMMMMMMM

 TAKE A RIDE ON MY VTX TO THE NAIL. AGAIN , I AM SURPRISED ON BANDS AND FANS SHOWING UP ON LABOR DAY MONDAY. IT'S INCONCEIVABLE. BUT I HAD SOME INVESTIGATING I HAD TO DO.

   HERE'S WHAT WENT DOWN :

 STORY - A HACKER HAS COMPROMISED OUR GAS CREDIT CARD. I AM PRETTY SURE IT IS AN INSIDE JOB. THE SAME WAWA EVERY MONDAY BETWEEN 8 - 8:30PM FUEL WAS BEING PURCHASED VIA OUR CREDIT CARD. I DECIDED TO GO TONIGHT TO DO SOME SURVEILLANCE. SO I SET-UP THE FIRST BAND AND HAD THE BARTENDER DO THE DOOR FOR 60 MINUTES.

 - I TEXT WHEELS , " START THE CAR FOR ME IN 5 MINUTES ". I ARRIVE HOME ON MY VTX AND TAKE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE WAWA. I ARRIVE AND PATROL THE LARGE LOT. THIS WAWA IS BIG AND PEOPLE ARE FUELING ALL OVER THE PLACE. THERE HAD TO BE 20+ PUMPS.

 - A POLICE OFFICER IS THERE SO I ASK FOR ASSISTANCE. A 2ND OFFICER ARRIVES SO NOW I AM SETTING A TRAP. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I MAY HAVE LEAKED INFORMATION TO A " MOLE ". THE CULPRIT WHO I WAS HOPINGTO RECOGNIZE NEVER SHOWED UP.

 - THE ONLY POSSIBILITY WAS ONE CAR WHO PULLED UP TO A FUEL PUMP. NOW , I JUST WATCHED 40+ CARS ALL GET FUEL. EVERY ONE PULLING UP , GOT OUT , AND GASSED UP THEIR TANKS. THIS ONE GUY DID NOT.  HE PULLED UP NEXT TO THE FUEL PUMP , WENT INSIDE , AND CAME OUT KINDA DISAPPOINTED. THIS DID RAISE MY ANTENNAS.  HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID NOT GET FUEL. HIS CAR WAS A BLACK DODGE SPORTS CAR WITH WHITE DOORS.......VERY EASY TO SPOT.

 I HEAD BACK TO THE NAIL TO FINISH DOING THE SOUND FOR THE BANDS AND COLLECTING DOOR COVER.

 EVERYONE WAS COOL AND SO WAS THE MUSIC.

 A FORMER REGULAR NAMED " S " STOPPED IN AND SHE WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. WE TALKED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND I HUGGED HER GOODBYE AT THE END OF THE SHOW.

 PHILLIES WITH THE BEST WIN OVER THE BEST BASEBALL TEAM IN THE MLB. BREWERS TOOK A 4 - 0 AND 5 - 1 LEAD WITH OUR WORST PITCHER WALKER ON THE MOUND. THIS WAS LOOKING BAD , BUT THE PHIGHTIN'S BATTLED BACK EVEN WITH BAD ERRORS ON PITCHNG AND FIELDING.  PHILS WIN 10 - 8 WITH 2 RUNS IN THE 8TH AND 9TH INNINGS.

 I HAVE A NIGHT CAP WITH THE BARTENDER AND GIRLFRIEND AND I FIND OUT THEY ARE GOING TO THE SEASHORE THIS WEEKEND. HMMMMMMMMM. BARTENDER MAKES MY FAVORITE CHOCOLATE MARTINI.

 AT HOME I CHILL FOR A BIT BUT HEAD TO BED. IT WAS ANOTHER LONG DAY.

 ONE LAST STORY - MY COPYING COMPANY DECIDED TO DOUBLE Y THEIR PRICES EVEN THOUGH I PAID FOR THE YEAR IN FULL. THEY TOLD ME THIS IN JUNE AND THAT IS WAS AN OVERSIGHT. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS COMPANY FOR 20+ YEARS. WELP , I DECIDED NO MORE ORDERING 100'S OF CALENDARS. I WILL DO IT ON MY OWN AND THERE ARE SOME SILVER LININGS. I SAVE SOME MONEY AND I GET TO EDIT EVERY WEEK BANDS ADDED TO THE CALENDAR MONTH. I COULD NEVER DO THIS BEFORE BECAUSE ONCE THE CALENDARS WERE PRINTED THAT WAS IT. OCCASIONALLY , WE USE A SHARPIE TO HAND WRITE IN TO ADD BANDS INTO THE FINISHED CALENDAR. NOW , I CAN DO IT AT ANYTIME VIA MY COMPUTER ALL MONTH. IN FACT , I PRINTED OUT ABOUT 25 CALENDARS AND FORGOT TO PUT TONIGHT'S BANDS IN THE NEW SEPTEMBER CALENDAR. SO , I ADDED THEM IN AND PRINTED OUT 15 MORE JUST FOR TONIGHT. THIS IS A VERY NICE SILVER LINING TO HAVE.

 OH , CALENDARS WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE BY OUR FRONT DOOR AND ALWAYS POSTED ON OUR PICTURE BOARDS IN THE NAIL.

   TUESDAY     9 - 2 - 25

 WELP , REALLY EASY DAY OF DOING NOTHING......YEAH RIGHT.  IT'S 3:30AM.......BLOW.

 START MY RUNNING TO RESTAURANT DEPOT , LIQUOR STORE , AND THE NAIL. THE 3 HOUR JOURNEY IS GETTING TIRESOME. I ALSO PLACED 2 BEER ORDERS.

 BACK HOME I SETTLE IN.

 ANOTHER CREDIT CARD IS COMPROMISED. THIS TIME A DISCOVER CARD WITH PURCHASES IN CALIFORNIA.

 PHILLIPS FUEL EMAILS ME A PHONE # TO FIGHT THE ILLEGAL CHARGES TO OUR CARD. THE PHONE NUMBER DOESN'T WORK.

 A NICE DINNER OUT ON THE PATIO WITH WHEELS AND ELDEST. WE KICKED AROUND THE IDEA OF PLAYING CARDS OUTSIDE BUT WE GO INSIDE..........10 MINUTES LATER A SUN SHOWER DOWNPOUR FOR 20 MINUTES.

 I MADE WHEELS BELLY LAUGH 5 TIMES TODAY. THE BEST WAS MAKING HER SAY THE " F " WORD. SHE IS SLOWLY MOVING TO THE DARK SIDE.

 ALREADY EDITING NAIL CALENDARS. THE SILVER LINING OF NOT PAYING AN OVER PRICED PRINTING COMPANY IS PAYING OFF.

 TALK TO YOUNGEST AND WE ARE PUTTING A GAME PLAN IN MOTION TO HEAD EAST.

 WE WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF DEXTER: RESURRECTION. IT WAS EXCELLENT.

 WE WATCH A SAD AND HEART WARMING MOVIE BASED ON TRUE EVENTS. IT WAS CALLED THE PENGUIN LESSONS.  IT WAS VERY GOOD.

 OFF TO BED TO CHECK EMAILS , WATCH TV , AND CHILL. BY MIDNIGHT I TRY TO SLEEP. I GOT UP 3 TIMES TO USE THE BATHROOM. I TOSSED AND TURNED AND JUST GOT UP BECAUSE I WAS HEARING NOISES IN THE KITCHEN. IT WAS MY ELDEST WALKING AROUND AT 4AM. I AM NOW UP.

 IT IS 6:30AM AND I AM GOING TO TRY TO GO BACK TO SLEEP.

  WEDNESDAY     9 - 3 - 25

 I AM PRETTY SURE I COULD WEED OUR GARDENS FOR A MONTH AND STILL FIND MORE TO DO. I SPENT ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS WEEDING AGAIN AND FILLING ALL TRASHCANS.

  FIXED OUR GARAGE FLAG. IT IS NOW 2 DAYS IN A ROW I AM ON A LADDER.

 THE WIRE I CUT WAS BOTHERING ME SO WHAT DID I DO ? I GOT BLACK GORILLA TAPE AND ATTACHED THE 2 WIRES BACK TOGETHER. THEY WON'T WORK BUT IT LOOKS BETTER FROM OUR PATIO.

 KINDA SUCKS ALITTLE - YARD WASTE PICK-UP IS EVERY MONDAY. OBVIOUSLY , NO PICK-UP ON LABOR DAY MONDAY. I WENT ON TO THE LOCAL TOWNSHIP WEBSITE FOR AN UPDATE FOR PICK-UP. THERE WAS NOTHING SO I FIGURED IT BE NEXT MONDAY. I LOOK AT THE WINDOW AND GOING BY IS A TOWNSHIP TRUCK COLLECTING YARD WASTE. A TEAR WENT DOWN MY CHEEK. SONNA OF A ...........

 WATCHING THE PHILLIES. YOU FELT THEY WERE NEVER IN THE GAME AFTER NOLA SHIT THE BED AGAIN WITH A 5 RUN 1ST INNING. WE LOSE 6 - 3. THE SILVER LINING.....METS LOST TOO.

 BEAUTIFUL DAY AND WHEELS AND I HAVE DINNER OUT ON THE PATIO.

 TALK TO ELDEST AND YOUNGEST. SOME GOOD THINGS HAPPENING BUT WE WILL SEE.

 MORE LONG EMAILS TO PHILLIPS FUEL COMPANY AND ENTERING A PORTAL FOR THE 2ND TIME TO FIGHT THESE DAMN ILLEGAL FUEL CHARGES. PHILLIPS IS UNBELIEVABLY HARD TO WORK WITH. THEY MAKE THE CUSTOMER JUMP THROUGH FUCKING HOOPS TO PROTEST CHARGES BEING COMPROMISED. GOING ON 2 YEARS FIGHTING WITH THEM.

 DISCOVER CARD - " SIR , WE WILL FIX EVERYTHING ON OUR END......MONEY WILL NOT BE CHARGED AND ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE MONTHLY BILLS WILL NOT BE AFFECTED." HOW'S THAT FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ?

 WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE , MATCH GAME , AND AN EPISODE OF WEDNESDAY ( VERY GOOD ).

 RETIRE TO MY BEDROOM TO CHECK EMAILS , WATCH THE NEWS , AND PLAY A GAME OF POKER.

 I DID NOT SLEEP WELL FOR THE FIRST 3 HOURS BUT TOOK A PILL AND IT HELPED WITH THE NEXT 3 HOURS.

 24 WOMEN CAME OUT TO TELL THEIR STORIES ABOUT EPSTEIN AND HIS ISLAND OF TERROR FOR KIDS. MANY SAY TRUMP WAS ABSOLUTELY INVOLVED WITH THE DEBAUCHERY. ONE GIRL GAVE TRUMP A HAND JOB BUT HE SAID SHE HAD TO PUT A GLOVE ON FIRST. TWENTY !!......FUCKING !!!......FOUR !!.......WOMEN !!!! ALL TELL HORRIFIC EXPERIENCES OF BEING ABUSED SEXUALLY AT AGES 13 TO 15. BUT , TRUMP SAYS IT WAS A DEMOCRATIC HOAX.  THE WOMEN WANT THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED BUT THERE IS RUMOR THESE BRAVE WOMEN WILL NOW RELEASE THEIR OWN REPORT.

  SO , ARE ALL 24 WOMEN LYING ABOUT BEING RAPED AND ABUSED AT THE YOUNG AGES OF 13 TO 15 ? GOD FORBID I HOPE IT IS NEVER A DAUGHTER OF YOURS. OR.....IS TRUMP RIGHT , IS IT ALL JUST MADE UP BY ALL 24 WOMEN .......A HOAX.

   THURSDAY       9 - 4 - 25

 THESE TIMES DO NOT COME AROUND OFTEN ENOUGH SO I WANTED TO ENJOY EVERY SINGLE SECOND. HERE'S MY BEAUTIFUL , FUN , GREAT TIME DAY : ( IT'S A LONG DAY AND NIGHT )

 - 9AM I HEAD TO EAGLEVILLE TO PICK UP A 10 X 10 FRAME FOR A CANOPY TENT.  THE PERSON SELLING IT HAD " AUDUBON " AS THE LOCATION WHICH IS 22 MINUTES AWAY. I REALIZED THIS WHEN 5 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE AND MY G.P.S JUMPED TO 35 MINUTES. MY MOTTO IS , " NO MORE THAN A 30 MINUTE DRIVE ". I DECIDED TO GO FOR IT. THE LADY WAS COOL AND I GOT THE FREE FB MARKETPLACE FRAME I WANTED. THIS ALL STARTED WHEN I ORDERED A 10' X 10' CANOPY TENT ON EBAY AND I ONLY GOT THE CANOPY.......NO FRAME.

 - BACK HOME I GET MY COMPUTER STUFF AND BEGIN PACKING.

 - MY FIRST BEER DELIVERY OF TWO CALL ME. I HEAD TO THE NAIL. I MEET AND LOAD THE PRODUCT AND BEGIN PACKING ESSENTIALS FOR HOME. I ALSO WENT AROUND OUR MAIN ROOM AND CHECKED EVERY BARSTOOL. THREE HAD TO BE SECURED. I HAD TIME FOR THE 2ND DELIVERY CAME SO I JUST STARTED CLEANING AND FIXING THINGS.

 - I TEXT 2 BEER REPS FROM FROM ORIGILIO BEVERAGE. THEY ARE SUPER COOL AND FAST GETTING BACK TO ME WHEN THE DELIVERY IS ARRIVING. I WANTED TO GET ON THE ROAD ASAP. THE BEER DELIVERY ARRIVES AND THE GUYS DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO PARK AND MAN DID ONE GUY SPEND SOME TIME ON HIS CELL PHONE. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN I AM IN A HURRY. THEY WERE COOL AND I STOCK ALL BEER.

 - I HEAD HOME AND MY ELDEST AND I BEGIN PACKING. WHEELS PACKS FOR THE PUP AND I ASK , " ARE YOU OKAY ? " WHILE HOLDING OUR PUPS BLANKET. WHEELS REPLIES , " OMG I AM SO USED OUR THE DOG GOING WITH YOU. " YEP , NO PUP ON THIS TRIP......AND THERE WAS A REASON FOR THIS.

 - MY ELDEST AND I ROLL OUT. WE DRIVE 30 SECONDS AND SHE SAYS I NEED SMOKES. WE STOP AT THE BEER DISTRIBUTOR ACROSS THE STREET FROM HER HOUSE. SHE STICKS OUT HER HAND. I REPLY , " DO YOU EXPECT THE NEXT 3 DAYS TO BE FREE ? " SHE RELIES , " YES , YES I DO "......AND GIGGLES.

 - NEXT STOP MCDONALDS. YES I AM IN A HURRY TO BEAT TRAFFIC BUT ELDEST INSISTED. I DO NOT CARE BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH HER AND YOUNGEST.

 - WE ARRIVE AT MY YOUNGEST APARTMENT TO GIVE HER SOME FRENCH FRIES. MY ELDEST HAS A MEETING FOR 45 MINUTES SO WE CHILL AND I TALK TO HER ROOMMATE / FORMER NAIL BARTENDER WHO I ADORE.

 - WE LOAD UP AGAIN AND DRIVE STRAIGHT INTO TRAFFIC AS WE HEAD EAST.

 - I TAKE THE BACK WAY AND TRAFFIC OPENS UP.  WE LISTEN TO MUSIC AND TELL STORIES. OF COURSE I JOKE AROUND WHEN MY GIRLS IMITATE ME REACTING TO CERTAIN  SITUATIONS. I WAS LOVING EVERY SECOND.

 - STOP AT WAWA FOR NEEDED ESSENTIALS.....ICE CREAM , SMOKES , ADVIL , AND MILK. OUR WAWA CREDIT CARD DID NOT WORK. I FOUND OUT LATER ALL CARDS HAVE BEEN DELETED DUE TO WAWA NOT SUPPORTING THEM ANYMORE.

 - NEXT STOP EVEN MORE NEEDED ESSENTIALS .......BOOZE.

 - LAST STOP AT ATNEY'S GRUB. WONDERFUL PORK SANDWICHES , CHICKEN CUTLETS , BURGER , AND FRIES.

  FRIDAY       9 - 5 - 25

 ANOTHER REALLY GOOD DAY.

 ELDEST AND YOUNGEST MAKE BREAKFAST WHILE I FINISH MY BLOG AND FIX A BIKE. I HAD TO DRIVE TO ZIPPY'S BIKE REPAIR FOR A TIRE TUBE AND LATER ON TO HOME DEPOT FOR A BIKE PUMP. ZIPPYS - $60 , HOME DEPOT - $29. I ALSO PULLED A METAL PRONG OUT OF AN OUTLET. I SWEAR TO CHRIST RENTERS DON'T TELL US DICK. WOULDN'T YOU THINK THAT BE KINDA IMPORTANT TO TELL US ?

 * MY YOUNGEST EDITED TODAY'S BLOG * ( SHE TOOK OUT ALL " F " WORDS )

  BACK HOME IT'S SOMETHING I HAVE NOT DONE IN A LONG TIME.............ALMOST 4 HOURS ON THE BEACH AND SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN WITH MY KIDS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY SINGLE SECOND. THE GIRLS EVEN BROKE OUT THE BOCCI.

 I REALLY LIKE USING MY BEACH DOLLY. IT CARRIES A TON OF STUFF LIKE GRAVITY CHAIRS ( 3) , UMBRELLA , BOCCI SET , COOLER WITH LIBATIONS , SUN SCREEN BOTTLES , BAGS , SNACKS , AND MORE. THE THING IS AWESOME. MY YOUNGEST , " WOW , THIS REALLY CARRIES ALOT OF STUFF."  I REPLY , " I HATE LUGGING SO MANY THINGS TO THE BEACH SO......FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE IS EVERYTHING WE ARE USING RIGHT NOW.......FOR FREE. " SHE ROLLS HER EYES AND GIGGLES.

 WHAT KINDA SUCKED IS I BROKE A WHEEL WHILE HOSING DOWN THE DOLLY IN TH EBACK ALLEY.......DAMN.

 IT WAS GLORIOUS ON THE BEACH WERE GOOD WEATHER , WARM OCEAN , AND PLANES FLYING OVER PRACTICING FOR THE AIR SHOW TOMORROW.

 BACK HOME WE SHOWER AND HEAD TO DINNER AT THE INLET. THESE GUYS STEPPED UP THEIR GAME WITH PRESENTATION AND TASTE. WE REALLY ENJOYED EVERYTHING. ALSO , HAVING A TABLE OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN WAS REALLY NICE.

 OUT OF THE RESTAURANT WE WALK 2 BLOCKS TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO A SPECIAL NEW YEARS DAY PARADE. IT WAS VERY COOL AS STRING BANDS PLAYED AND PEOPLE DANCED.

 BACK HOME WE SETTLE IN FOR A LITTLE BIT. MY ELDEST NAPS AND I CHILL WITH MY YOUNGEST. WE BOTH USE COMPUTERS FOR A LITTLE BIT. I WATCH THE PHILLIES WIN BIG AND THE REPLAY OF THE EAGLES BIG WIN OVER DALL-ASS.

 AT 9:30PM WE HEAD TO THE BOARDWALK TO MEET UP WITH A BARTENDER AND HIS GIRL FRIEND. THEY ALL PLAY GAMES AT THE ARCADE. I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THROWING MONEY AWAY TO THESE VERY RIGGED GAMES BUT.....THEY HAD FUN. OH.......MAN DID WE WALK ALOT.

 WE WALK A MILE TO PLAY MINI-GOLF AND......THEY ARE CLOSED.

 NEXT STOP WAS ICE-CREAM AT KOHRS.....ALWAYS GOOD. I TREATED FOR EVERYONE.

 I HAVE THE KIDS WALK BACK TO GET THE CAR SINCE WE ARE 11 MILES AWAY ON THE BOARDWALK. THEY PICK ALL OF US UP AND WE HEAD BACK TO OUR PLACE FOR NIGHTCAPS. WE DO NIGHTCAPS , BARTENDERS PUT CONCOCTIONS TOGETHER , LISTEN TO SPOTIFY MUSIC , AND I GET MY FB POST DONE FOR THE BANDS.....WHICH I FORGOT ABOUT YESTERDAY BECAUSE I AM HAVING SUCH A BLAST.

 OH , SUPER SUPER COOL. A COUPLE WAS WALKING TOW WOLVES ON THE BOARDWALK. WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO PET THEM BUT WE TALKED TO THE OWNERS FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES.  WE WALKED A BLOCK TO GET ICE CREAM AND THAN SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS PROBABLY NEVER.........WE COULD HERE THE WOLVES HOWLING. HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT ??!!

 BY 12:30AM I DRIVE MY BARTENDER AND GIRLFRIEND BACK TO THEIR MOTEL. MY YOUNGEST COMES WITH ME WHICH I APPRECIATED.

 OH , WE FOUND OUT OUR BARTENDER ALMOST DROVE BACK 2 HOURS TO HIS APARTMENT BECAUSE HIS SISTER COULD NOT OPEN HIS FRONT DOOR TO FEED HIS CAT. LUCKILY , A FRIEND DROVE OVER TO DO IT.

 BACK AT OUR CONDO THE 3 OF US WATCH AN EPISODE OF WEDNESDAY. I LASTED ONLY 15 MINUTES AND HEAD TO BED AROUND 1:30AM. I TOOK SOME ADVIL WHICH SEEMED TO HELP WITH MY SLUMBER.

 I ADORED THIS DAY.

  SATURDAY       9 - 6 - 25

 ANOTHER FUN DAY AND NIGHT. IT WAS SO LONG BUT I ENJOYED EVERY SECOND.

 UP EARLY AS ALWAYS AND BEGIN MY COMPUTER WORK. I WAS GLAD I DID MY BAND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTING LATE NIGHT LAST NIGHT.

 BY 10AM MY YOUNGEST AND I BEGIN TO PREP , CLEAN , AND PRE-PACK FOR OUR VEHICLE. WE DECIDED TO GET EVERYTHING DONE NOW TO SAVE TIME LATER.

 BY 11:45AM WE ARE DONE. MY ELDEST HELPS LOAD THE VEHICLE AND WE ROLL OUT.

 WE DRIVE TO WILDWOOD CREST FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN ON MY BUCKET LIST FOR A LONG TIME........AN AIR SHOW. WE KNEW IT BE CROWDED BUT MAN WAS IT PACKED WITH PEOPLE. PARKING WENT FROM $10 TO $40 AND AS HIGH AS $75.

  I DROPPED OFF THE KIDS BY THE BOARDWALK AND MADE A DECISION. I WAS GOING TO PARK 25 BLOCKS AWAY FOR FREE BECAUSE LOTS WERE FULL AND THEY WERE SO DAMN EXPENSIVE.

 I MAKE A 2ND DECISION. I SEE A CLOSED MOTEL WITH AN OLD GRAVEL LOT THAT HOLDS ABOUT 20 VEHICLES. I MEAN IT KINDA LOOKS ABANDONED. THERE ARE ONLY 2 CARS AND ONE TRUCK PARKED IN THIS LOT. I TAKE A CHANCE AND WHEN PARKING I KINDA HIDE MY CAR BEHIND A TRUCK. THERE IS A CHANCE OF GETTING TOWED BUT I WAS HOPING THE CLOSED MOTEL WOULD NOT PURSUE IT. TECHNICALLY , THEY DID NOT HAVE A COMPANY'S TOWING SIGN AND PHONE # WHICH YOU MUST HAVE IF TOWING A VEHICLE. ANYWAY , I TOOK THE CHANCE.

 WALK TO THE BOARDS AND WE CHECK OUT THE HUGE CROWD ON THE BEACH AND BOARDWALK.

 WE DID BRUNCH AT THE DOO WOP DINER AND GOT A SEAT RIGHT AT THE OPEN AIR WINDOW. THE AIR SHOW BEGAN AND WE GOT TO SEE THE PLANES PERFORMING. IT WAS SUPER COOL. OUR MEAL WAS VERY GOOD AND WE SAT THERE IN THE A/C WITH A BIG OPEN WINDOW TO WATCH THE PLANES AND PEOPLE. ALSO , THE DOO WOP PLAYS OLDIES MUSIC WHICH WAS FUN.

 BACK ON THE BOARDWALK WE WATCH THE AIR SHOW. A BARTENDER AND HIS GIRLFRIEND MEET UP WITH US. I TREAT FOR COFFEE DRINKS AND LATER ON ICE CREAM. WE TRY TO FIND SHADE AND THE BEST WAS ON THE BEACH SLIGHTLY UNDER THE BOARDWALK.

 CUTE - TWO KIDS ON THE BEACH WERE JUMPING A SHADOW. THE SLINGSHOT RIDE HAD TWO LONG ARMS THAT THREW A SHADOW ON THE BEACH WHERE THE KIDS WERE. SO , EVERY TIME IT SWING AROUND THEY JUMP. IT WAS ADORABLE.

  WE ENJOYED THE AIR SHOW , PEOPLE WATCHING , AND PETTING CUTE DOGS. IT WAS A COOL EXPERIENCE.

 BY 3PM WE HAD TO HEAD HOME. A LITTLE DOWNER WAS WE SAW SO MANY PLANES AND PARACHUTE JUMPERS BUT DID NOT SEE THE SUPERSONIC AIRCRAFTS. I TOLD MY BARTENDER TO FILM IT FOR ME. THEY WERE SCHEDULED AT 2:57PM BUT SO FAR A NO SHOW SO WE STARTED WALKING TO OUR PARK CAR.

   WE WALK 4 SHORT BLOCKS TO THE MOTEL'S PARKING LOT.  FIRST , WE SEE OUR CAR WAS NOT TOLD SO THIS IS A BIG RELIEF. BUT THAN WE HEAR............THE MIGS. TWO OF THEM ZOOM ACROSS THE SKY RIGHT ABOVE US. WE ALL START  CHEERING !! IT WAS A PERFECT ENDING TO A FANTASTIC 3 DAYS. MY BARTENDER SENT THE VIDEO TOO.

 WE TAKE THE BACK WAY HOME AND MAKE GOOD TIME. I HAD TO STOP FOR GAS BUT WE ROLLED UP A LITTLE BEFORE 5PM WHERE WHEELS AND THE PUP WERE WAITING. MY GOODNESS OUR DOG'S TAIL WAS GOING A MILE A MINUTE. THE GIRLS WERE SO CUTE GREETING HER.

 OF COURSE WE FORGET A ROKU BUT I QUICKLY THINK AND ASK OUR BARTENDER TO PICK IT UP SINCE THEY ARE LEAVING TOMORROW. I HOPE THEY CAN.

 WE CHILL AND TALK. WE TELL STORIES TO WHEELS AND SNUGGLE WITH OUR PUP.

 BY 6PM I HEAD TO THE NAIL AND WE GET HIT WITH A GOOD CROWD. MUSIC WAS EXCELLENT , PEOPLE WERE COOL , THE PHILLIES WON, THE METS LOST , AND I REALLY ENJOYED WORKING WITH THE BARTENDERS.

 THE SHOW FINISHES AT MIDNIGHT AND I BEGIN TO TIRE. THIS WAS ANOTHER VERY LONG DAY.

 MY YOUNGEST AND I ROLL OUT AROUND 12:30AM. AT HOME WE HAVE SOME WATER AND WATCH THE REST OF SATURDAY NIGHT LIGHT. WE HEAD TO BED AFTER IT ENDED AT 1AM.

 I SLEPT DECENT AND COULD NOT BE MORE GIDDY ON THE LAST 3 DAYS I HAD WITH MY KIDS.

  SUNDAY      9 - 7 - 25

 " VIVE LA RUSTY NAIL !! "

  THE NAIL IS A TREASURE COVE OF EXPERIENCES. TONIGHT WAS ANOTHER ONE.

  I DO MY MORNING ROUTINE , HEAD TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE SHOW , BACK HOME TO WATCH NFL FOOTBALL GAMES , AND OH THE PHILLIES LOSE......BLOW.

 IT INFURIATES ME WHEN A SPORTS SHOW COMMENTATOR CONFIDENTLY PREDICTS THE PHILLIES WILL WIN TODAY EASILY BECAUSE THE MARLINS JUST ARE TOO YOUNG AND THEIR SEASON IS OVER. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO PLAY FOR. AS SOON AS HE SAID THAT I SAID TO MYSELF , " THEY WILL SOOOOOOOOO LOSE !! " PLUS , OUR WORST PITCHER WALKER WAS ON THE MOUND. HE GAVE UP 4 F'N RUNS IN THE FIRST F'N INNING !!!  WORST PREDICTION EVER .

 IT WAS NICE TO CHILL WITH MY YOUNGEST. WE FINISHED 28 (BEST MOVIE EVER - SAID BY A FRIEND) DAYS. OH MY GOD HOW DID THIS MOVIE GET SO MANY GOOD REVIEWS AND LIKES ??!! IT WAS BRUTAL TO WATCH.

 WHEELS MAKES GNOCCHI'S AND MEATBALLS.  IT WAS A GOOD ITALIAN DINNER.

 BACK TO THE NAIL TO OPEN UP , LOAD-IN ACTS , AND ENJOY A REALLY REALLY COOL NIGHT.

 3 COOL BANDS WITH 3 BEAUTIFUL LEAD SINGERS. I HAD OUR BARTENDER TAKE A PICTURE WITH THEM BY OUR MARQUEE.

 ACTS :

 FRANCESCA FUENTES - ABSOLUTELY SWEET HEART FROM ASBURY PARK , NJ. AND ONE OF HER SONGS WAS FEATURED ON MTV. SHE IS ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE I HAVE MET IN A LONG TIME.

 CHARMSPEAK - REALLY COOL BAND WITH A CHILL VIBE. FOR SUCH A YOUNG BAND I DID NOT EXPECT THEM TO BE SO TIGHT.

 LULU VAN TRAPP - FROM PARIS , FRANCE AND MAN DID THEY HAVE THE ENERGY. LEAD SINGER DANCED THE ENTIRE SET. SHE IS SUPER COOL WITH A WONDERFUL " BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER " ORA ABOUT HER. I REALLY DUG THIS BAND AND VIBE THEY PUT OUT.

 WE ENJOYED ALL THE ACTS TONIGHT AND EVERY ONE WAS SUPER COOL. WHEELS EVEN POPPED IN FOR A RARE VISIT TO SAY HELLO TO THE ACTS.

 LULU VAN TRAPP LEAD SINGER - " OMG , IN NEW YORK , THE TRAFFIC WAS SO BAD .......WE LOST HOPE. "

 I GAVE A TAMBOURINE TO THE BAND'S LEAD SINGER OF LULU VAN TRAPP. SHE ASKED ME TO AUTOGRAPH IT. I WROTE " BIG DADDY ". SHE WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED BY THAT SIGNATURE. SHE DID NOT KNOW IT WAS MY RADIO NAME DURING OUR 16 SEASONS OF LIVE AT THE NAIL RADIO SHOW.

 2 ACTS DID ALOT OF VIDEOING TONIGHT. YES , I GAVE MY LITTLE SPEECH ABOUT THE NAIL AND ITS HISTORY......SEVERAL TIMES.

 THE NIGHT MOVED ALONG AND WHAT A REALLY COOL NIGHT TO SEE SOME MUSIC. SOUND MAN HELPING WAS SUPER APPRECIATED.

 OUR TRADITION CONTINUED AND I GAVE OPEN BAR TO THE OUT OF STATE ( WELL , OUT OF COUNTRY BAND FROM FRANCE ). I REALLY ENJOYED GETTING TO KNOW THEM. THEY MAY HAVE A HANGOVER THE NEXT MORNING AS I HAD THEM PLAY " PICK A SHELF ". IT WAS FUN AND I REALLY ENJOYED THEIR COMPANY.

 WE HUGGED THEM ALL AS ONE FRENCH MUSICIAN SAID , " VIVE LA NAIL !! "

 I NICKNAMED THE LEAD GUITARIST OF LULU VAN TRAPP " HIGH KICKER ". IF YOU SEE THEM LIVE , YOU'LL UNDERSTAND. HE ALMOST KICKED OUR CEILING FAN BLADES.

 TOO FUNNY - ALL BANDS AND FANS JUMPED ON THE STAGE FOR A PICTURE. I USED 4 CELL PHONES TO TAKE THE PICTURE. THEY STARTED CHEERING , " CHRIS, CHRIS , CHRIS , CHRIS ".......PRETTY COOL.

 LATE NIGHT EVERYONE ROLLS OUT. WE HUG PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE.

 BARTENDER AND I HEAD HOME AND WE JOIN OUR ELDEST AND FRIENDS FOR A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT OF FIRE PITTING. WE CHILLED AND TALKED. IT WAS A NICE WAY TO END THE NIGHT.

 ONE OF MY ELDEST FRIENDS WANTED TO SHOOT ME IN POOL. THIS WAS A HARD " NO " AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING.

  MONDAY     9 - 8 - 25

 MONDAYS ARE LONG DAYS WITH EMAILING , BAND COMMUNICATION , BLOGGING , AND MORE. IT IS NON-STOP FROM 7AM TO MIDNIGHT.

 LOOKING FOR A BARTENDER FOR OVER A MONTH NOW.

 ALMOST FORGOT TO PUT OUT 6 TRASHCANS OF WEEDS , BRANCHES , AND MORE FOR THE TOWNSHIP TO PICK-UP.

 TOOK A BREAK TO DRIVE MY YOUNGEST BACK TO HER APARTMENT. WE STOPPED AT ROWHOME COFFEE FOR PRETZEL BREAKFAST SANDWICHES AND THE DOG PARK. YEP , WE TOOK THE PUP WITH US.

 WHEN DRIVING I PULL OVER TO TAKE A PICTURE. I ASKED MY YOUNGEST TO GET THE PUP TO LOOK OUT THE SUNROOF. IT TOOK A LITTLE FINAGLING BUT WE GOT IT.

 BEAUTIFUL DAY AT THE PHILADELPHIA SCHUKYLL RIVER DOG PARK. THE ONLY THING IS OUR DOG DOES NOT PLAY. SHE IS A GREETER. EVERY DOG AND PERSON THAT COMES THROUGH THE GATE GETS A QUICK SNIFF AND ALLOWED IN AFTER INSPECTION. SHE IS A DOOR DOG.

 I ROLL HOME WITH THE PUP. AFTER CHECKING EMAILS I CHILL FOR A BIT.

 PHILLIES WITH A HUGE 1 - 0 WIN OVER THE METS. THIS SERIES COULD BE A PRELUDE TO THE PLAYOFFS. NOLA AND BULLPEN HAD THEIR BEST GAME OF THE SEASON.

 AFTER THE GAME WHEELS AND I WATCH THE SERIES FINAL OF DEXTER: RESURRECTION. IT WAS VERY GOOD.

 WE START AN EPISODE OF WEDNESDAY AND IT WAS GOOD BUT WHEELS GOT TIRED AT 10:45PM. YEP, WE'RE GETTING OLD.

 I HEAD TO MY BEDROOM TO EMAIL , BLOG , CHECK SOCIAL MEDIA , WATCH TV , AND PLAY A GAME OF POKER.

  TUESDAY        9 - 9 - 25

 WELP , LET'S DO SOME STUFF OUTSIDE. IT IS THAT NICE OUT.

 - TAKE TRASHCANS DOWN TO CURB.

 - FIX OUR GARAGE FLAG TWICE.

 - FIXED A BROKEN WHEEL ON OUR BEACH DOLLY.

 - SPENT ABOUT 20 MINUTES ON A 10 X 10 BEACH TENT FRAME. I DETERMINE IT WAS UNFIXABLE SO USED A SAWZ SAW TO CUT IT UP. I GOT IT FREE ON FB MARKETPLACE. IT ALSO WAS DETERMINE THE SELLER LIED TO ME SAYING , " ONLY ONE FRAME LEG IS BROKEN ". IT WAS MORE LIKE 10 FRAME PIECES WERE BROKEN AND ANOTHER 10 PIECES WERE MISSING.

 - RE-TAPED THE CUT WIRE. JUST SETTING UP THE GORILLA LADDER WAS A PAIN IN THE BALLS.

 - FIXED OUR GREY PATIO UMBRELLA THAT WAS BLOWN OVER IN A STORM.

 - RE-FIXED OUR OTHER PATIO UMBRELLA.

 - GORILLA GLUED A PLASTIC PIECE BACK ON THE FRONT BUMPER OF OUR CAR.

 - PRINTED OUT A 2026 CALENDARS ONLY TO HAVE IT STOP AND RUN OUT OF INK AT " AUGUST ". THIS PRINTER HAS BEEN SAYING " LOW TONER " FOR 6 YEARS.

 - ORDERED A TONER CARTRIDGE. MY GOD ONLINE IS SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN GOING TO SAY A STAPLES OR WHATEVER.

 - TRIED TO FIX A BICYCLE PUMP. I HAD TO ORDER THE PART. IT WAS $3. A BIKE SHOP SAID JUST REPLACE THE WHOLE PUMP FOR $60.

 - CHECKED FLUIDS ON EVERY VEHICLE AND USED A LEAF BLOWER TO BLOW-OUT DEBRIS UNDER THE HOOD AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD.

 - I REALLY REALLY LIKE UPDATING OUR NAIL MONTHLY CALENDARS. I DID LIKE USING A PRINTING COMPANY BUT ONCE THEY ARE PRINTED THAN WE HAVE TO EITHER HAND WRITE NEW ADDED BANDS IN OR JUST LEAVE THE SPACE OPEN. NOW.....I INSTANTLY UPDATE OUR CALENDARS AND PRINT SEVERAL OUT.......UNTIL I NEED A NEW TONER CARTRIDGE , WHICH I NOW NEED TO DO.

 TEXTING WITH FAMILY , YOUNGEST , AND BROTHERS.

 I GOT A FAIR AMOUNT OF EMAILS DONE TODAY. IT ALWAYS AMAZES ME THAT I WALK AWAY OR DO SOMETHING FOR JUST 30 MINUTES AND I WILL HAVE NEW EMAILS. I NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS BECAUSE BAND INQUIRES ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS BUSINESS.

 I BOUGHT CHEESE STEAKS AT RESTAURANT DEPOT. WE HAD THEM FOR DINNER TONIGHT WITH SAUTÉED ONIONS......LEGIT.

 ELDEST HAS NEW BOYFRIEND OVER. I AM NOT A FAN OF MEN AND THEIR PENISES BUT HE SEEMS NICE. HE DOES ALL THE RIGHT THINGS WITH PROPER GREETING , HANDSHAKING , AND MORE. STILL........I DON'T LIKE HIS COCK ANYWHERE NEAR MY ELDEST.

 WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH THE PHILLIES WIN AGAIN !! THESE ARE HUGE GAMES AND SO FAR THE PHILLIES HAVE WON THE FIRST 2 OUT OF 4 GAMES AGAINST THE F'N METS. THE DIVISION IS NOT SECURED BUT SO FAR SO GOOD. ANOTHER OBJECTIVE IS TO GET THE #2 SEED WHICH IS REALISTIC. THE #1 SEED IS A LONG SHOT.

 SCHWARBER HIT HIS 50TH HOME RUN OF THE SEASON. ONLY 2 PLAYERS EVER DONE THIS BEFORE. HIM AND RYAN HOWARD.

 WE WATCH 2 EPISODES OF WEDNESDAY. THEY WERE VERY GOOD.

 WE WATCH A NEW EPISODE OF ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. IT WAS GOOD. SELENA GOMEZ LOST A TON OF WEIGHT AND IT IS THE BEST I EVER SEEN HER LOOK.

 LATER THE 3 MAIN CHARACTERS ( STEVE MARTN , MARTIN SHORT , AND SELENA GOMEZ ) ON O.M.I.T.B. MADE AN APPEARANCE ON JIMMY FALLON'S TONIGHT'S SHOW. THEY ALL PLAYED A QUIZ GAME. IT WAS GOOD.

 WHEELS HEADS TO BED WHILE I GO TO MY BEDROOM TO CHECK EMAILS , WATCH THE DAILY NEWS , AND PLAY A GAME OF POKER. THE PUP JOINS ME. I SLEPT BETTER.

    WEDNESDAY       9 - 10 - 11

 A BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT GIRL FROM UKRAINE ESCAPING WAR IN THE U.S.A. GETS MURDERED RIGHT ON A TRAIN WITH NO ONE HELPING HER , A POLITICAL ASSASSINATION , ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING IN DENVER ..........MAN , WHAT A FUCKING WORLD.

 I CAN'T SHAKE BEAUTIFUL UKRAINE GIRL BEING MURDERED BY A MONSTER WITH 14 PRIORS. THE FEAR ON HER FACE JUST SHAKES ME TO THE CORE.

 THE REST OF THIS BLOG IS SO TRIVIAL COMPARED TO WHAT'S GOING ON.

 A REALLY BAD NIGHT OF SLEEP.  IT IS SO DEPRESSING. I AM WALKING AROUND AT 4AM , SURFING THE NET , CHECKING EMAILS , PEEING , WATCHING PORN , LOOKING OUT WINDOWS , TRACKING WHERE MY KIDS ARE , .....IT JUST DOESN'T END.

 I ORDERED A TONER CARTRIDGE 2 DAYS AGO. FOR SOME REASON I LOOK AT MY BED'S END TABLE WHICH HAS AN OPEN SHELF ON THE BOTTOM. I SEE A SMALL COPY MACHINE AND A BOX NEXT TO IT. I PULL THE BOX OUT AND IT IS A TONER CARTRIDGE AND GUESS WHAT ......IT FUCKING FITS MY BIGGER COPIER THAT I USE ALL THE TIME.

 I PRINTED OUT UPDATED NAIL CALENDARS , UPDATED NAIL FOOD MENU'S , AND NAIL LIQUOR LICENSES.

 I HAVE RE-UPDATED MY NAIL CALENDAR 6 TIMES ALREADY THIS MONTH. MAYBE THIS NO MORE PRINTING OUT CALENDARS ONCE EACH MONTH IS PAYING OFF. IT SAVES ABOUT $400 A YEAR WHICH IS NOT MUCH BUT THE ABILITY TO UPDATE EACH DAY IS A NICE LUXURY.

 POSTED A SOCIAL MEDIA AD FOR THE BANDS THIS WEEKEND.

 TALK TO YOUNGEST TO CHECK IN AND RUN AN IDEA BY HER.

 TOOK A RIDE TO AUTOZONE AND PICKED UP SPECIFIC OIL FOR OUR CARS AND ENGINE COOLANT.

 STOPPED AT MY PARENTS FOR LUNCH. OLD SCHOOL ROASTED PEPPERS WITH PROSCIUTTO SANDWICHES. THEY WERE VERY GOOD. OF COURSE , THERE IS SOMETHING ALWAYS TO FIX.  I HAD TO MACGUYVER A BROKEN TOILET FLAPPER.

 TO THE NAIL - I SPEND ABOUT 2 HOURS CLEANING. ONE LITTLE PROJECT WAS INSTALLING WHEELS ON A HEAVY LARGE SPEAKER. I TOOK THEM OFF A DOLLY I NEVER USE. I ALSO TRASHED THE 10X10 CANOPY FRAME THAT SO DIDN'T WORK , CHANGED THE MARQUEE , DID THE REGISTER , HAD OUR MERCH TABLE CLOTH COVER WASHED , AND PREPPED FOR THE WEEKEND.

 BACK HOME WHEELS AND I HAVE DINNER. WE CHILL A BIT AND DISCUSS HOW FAT I AM. I WILL NEVER BE TOUCHED THE REST OF MY LIFE.

 PHILLIES WITH ANOTHER HUGE 11 - 3 WIN OVER THOSE F'N METS. AS FANS WE ARE STARTING TO SEE THE FINISH LINE IN WINNING THE DIVISION. THAT IS THE FIRST PRIORITY. WE ALSO HAVE A REALISTIC CHANCE FOR THE 2ND SEED AND LONG SHOT FOR THE FIRST SEED. I AM SO HAPPY AND THRILLED THAT JUST A WEEK OR SO AGO THE METS SWEPT THE PHILLIES IN NEW YORK. THIS PAYBACK / REVENGE IS SO SO SO SOOOOOOOOO SWEET.

 OUR YOUNGEST PICKED A CANTALOUPE THAT SHE IS GROWING AT HER PLACE AND SO ARE WE HERE AT HOME. SHE AND HER ROOM MATE SAID IT WAS SWEET AND GOOD.

 WE WATCH AND FINISH THE SERIES WEDNESDAY. IT WAS VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT.

 WE ALSO WATCH MATCH GAME. IT IS GETTING BETTER EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT KNOW HALF THE CELEBRITY PLAYERS.

 WE HEAD TO BED AROUND 11PM. OF COURSE I GO TO MY BEDROOM TO CHECK EMAILS , WATCH MORE TV , PLAY A GAME OF INTERNET POKER , CHECK THE NEWS , AND MORE. I WAS UP 11 TIMES AND FINALLY TOOK SOME ADVIL AND GOT BACK IN BED WITH THE PUP AT 4:45AM.

  THURSDAY        9 - 11 - 01   ( WE WILL NEVER FORGET )

 " FOR A FEW DEATHS A YEAR , UNFORTUNATELY ,  IT IS WORTH HAVING THE 2ND AMENDMENT AND YOUR GOD GIVEN RIGHTS TO OWN A GUN " - CHARLIE KIRK.

  THOSE FEW DEATHS ........46,000+ PEOPLE A YEAR.

 A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE ON SUCH A TRAGIC DAY IN OUR HISTORY.

 DROVE TO KARAKUNG SWIM CLUB AS THEY WERE GIVING OUT BEACH CHAIRS. THE FB POST MADE IT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE BRAND NEW..........THEY WERE NOT.

 STOP AT MY PARENTS TO DROP OFF DIFFERENT KINDS OF DRINKING GLASSES. MY MOM GIVES ME A SHIRT THAT COULD FIT ANDRE THE GIANT.

 STOP AT THE NAIL TO EXCHANGE OUT CALENDARS AND MENU TABLE TENTS. IT IS THE 7TH TIME THIS MONTH I HAVE UPDATED OUR CALENDARS. IT IS CONFIRMED I WILL NOT GO BACK TO SPENDING MONEY ON GETTING THEM PRINTED OUT SINCE THEY ALWAYS NEED TO BE UPDATED.

 BACK HOME I SETTLE IN. I DO MY NORMAL STUFF.

 AT 5PM WHEELS AND I ROLL OUT TO MEET UP WITH FAMILY. WE TAKE A RIDE TO A RESTAURANT CALLED MAGGIE'S NEAR JENKINTOWN. IT WAS A 90TH BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH LOTS OF FAMILY, FOOD , BAND , AND MORE. I REALLY ENJOYED IT.

 WE HEAD HOME AND WE LISTEN ON THE RADIO TO THE LAST INNING. THE PHILLIES COME BACK FROM A 4 - 0 DEFICIT TO WIN 6 - 4 OVER THE METS. OH.......MY.......GOD........DOES THAT FEEL GOOD. 

 WE RELAX GETTING HOME AFTER BEING GREETED BY THE PUP. IT IS SUCH A JOY TO SEE AND BE WITH THIS DOG.

 WE WATCH AN ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. IT WAS DIFFERENT AND A FLASH BACK EPISODE BUT IT WAS GOOD AND FUN TO SEE OLD CHARACTERS.

 OFF TO BED TO CHECK EMAILS AND WATCH THE NEWS. I TAKE MY LAST MUSCLE RELAXING PILL. I SLEPT GOOD.

  FRIDAY     9 - 12 - 25

  BIRTHDAY SHOWS ARE ALWAYS FUN........AND IT WAS.

  DID SOME WEEDING AROUND OUR FIRE PIT WOOD STATION AT OUR GARAGE. MAN , THE " 3 FOOT A DAY " VINES CAN GROW FAST BIG TIME.

  YOUNGEST COMES HOME. THIS IS ALWAYS SUPER NICE. WHEELS PICKED HER UP AT THE TRAIN STATION.

 SO MANY HEART BREAKING POSTS ON IRYNA. IT IS JUST SO SAD AMD MADDENING. THIS SHOULD OF NOT HAPPENED. WHAT INFURIATES ME IS NOT ONE PERSON HELPED HER. I THINK , " WHAT WOULD I DO ? "

  OFF TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY SHOW WITH 5 ACTS.

 NAPPED AROUND 3PM. LATELY , I AM GETTING SO TIRED. IT IS BLAMED ON BAD SLEEP AND EXTRA FAT.

 ORDER PIZZA AND SANDWICHES FOR DINNER. ALL OF US ATE OUTSIDE ON THE PATIO WHICH IS VERY NICE.

 HEAD TO THE NAIL TO OPEN , GREET FANS , AND THE BANDS.

 A SOLID CROWD ALL NIGHT WITH MANY FAMILIAR FACES. I HEARD THE WORD " LOVE " AND " THANK YOU " 20 TIMES. IT NEVER GETS OLD.

 THE MUSIC WAS FUN AND PEOPLE CHEERED , HEAD NODDED , AND DANCED. I REALLY LOVE SEEING THIS.

 NEW BARTENDER FOR TOMORROW'S BIG SHOW. WE COULD HIT 200 PEOPLE BUT 125 IS PROBABLY MORE REALISTIC. I HAVE PLANNED FOR 4 BARTENDERS AND A DOOR MAN.

 BY 11:30PM THE LAST BAND FINISHED UP. IT WAS A FUN BIRTHDAY SHOW.

 WE CLOSE AND HEAD HOME BY 12:30AM. WE WATCH TV AND HAVE SOME MOZZARELLA AND CRACKERS. BY 1AM WE HEAD TO BED.

    SATURDAY     9 - 13 - 25

   2 HUNGE+......WOAH.

 EARLY MORNING TAKING WHEELS AND MOTHER-IN-LAW TO THE AIRPORT. THEY ARE VISITING FAMILY DOWN SOUTH.

 SINCE I AM UP I HEAD TO THE NAIL BY 8:30AM. I PREP FOR A VERY LARGE SHOW TONIGHT.

 AT HOME I GO BACK TO BED. SLEEP HAS BEEN IN SHORTAGE LATELY SO I TRY.

  I GET ABOUT ONE HOUR OF NAPPING. I GET MY EMAILS AND BLOGGING DONE.

 WHY DOES VILLANOVA PLAY PENN STATE ?  I THINK THE SCORE WAS 52 - 7.

 PHILLIES WORST PITCHER JOE BLANTON , I MEAN TAIJUAN WALKER GIVES UP 3 RUNS IN THE FIRST INNING LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES. BUT.......PHILLIES BATS STAY HOT AND THEY WIN 8 - 6. METS LOSE AGAIN. OH , THIS COMBINATION IS SO FRICK' SWEET. WITH 15 GAMES LEFT THE MAGIC NUMBER # IS NOW 1 TO CLINCH THE DIVISION. THIS MEANS ONE MORE PHILLIES WIN OR METS LOSS AND WE WIN IT. SO THIS IS A LOCK FOR ME NOW. I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY WE WILL WIN THE DIVISION. BUT NOW.....THE NEXT GOAL IS GETTING THE 2ND SEED , POSSIBLY THE FIRST.

 THE KIDS AND I WATCH A MOVIE CALL BETTER OFF DEAD. IT'S A AN OLD SCHOOL CUTE LOVE STORY COMEDY AND THEY LIKED IT. FAMOUS LINES , " I WANT MY 2 DOLLARS " , " SORRY FOR BLOWING UP YOUR MOM RICKY " , " THIS MOUNTAIN IS PURE SNOW (THE DRUG) " , " WITH HIS TESTICLES ALWAYS ALL OVER ME " AND SOME MORE. IT STARRED JOHN CUSACK IN THIS 1985 MOVIE

 THE KIDS GET VIC'S SUSHI FOR DINNER WHILE I SHOWER AND CHANGE.

 I HEAD TO THE NAIL TO LOAD IN BANDS AND FANS. ALL BARTENDERS CAME IN AT 7PM BECAUSE I KNEW THIS NIGHT COULD HIT 200 PEOPLE. YESTERDAY I WROTE " REALISTICALLY 125 ". WELP , TONIGHT WE DID OVER 225+ FANS OF MUSIC. MAN , WE WERE JAMMED PACKED.

 THE NIGHT MOVED ALONG WITH ALL BANDS HAVING REALLY FUN SET LISTS. THERE WERE A TON OF DANCING. AHHHH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN.

 THE BARTENDERS WERE RUNNING ALL NIGHT. WOW , WHAT A PACKED HOUSE. THERE WAS A TIME I WAS HOPING PEOPLE WOULD STOP COMING IN...........IMAGINE THAT ?

 THE NIGHT ENDS AND WE SETTLE IN. I BUY DRINKS FOR THE STAFF AND WE TALK ABOUT THE NIGHT AND GHOSTS.

 JUST ABOUT TO ROLL AND AN OLDER COUPLE COMES IN. I DECIDE TO LET EVERYONE GO AND MY YOUNGEST AND I HUNG OUT AND TALK TO THEM. THEY WERE VERY COOL.

 WE FINALLY ROLL OUT AT 11:58PM. MY YOUNGEST SAYS , " SINCE IT IS NOT MIDNIGHT YET LETS GO DOWN THE STREET.  WE VISIT MY ELDEST AND CLOSE TO 20 PEOPLE COME UP TO ME AND MY YOUNGEST TO SAY HELLO.

 I BUY DRINKS FOR EVERYONE AND CHILL FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. IT WAS NICE.

 BACK HOME WE ARE GREETED BY THE FUN CRAZY PUP. IT IS SUCH A JOY HAVING A DOG.

 WE STAY UP FOR A LITTLE BIT BUT VERY SOON HEAD TO BED.

 THIS.......WAS A GOOD DAY AND NIGHT.

  SUNDAY      9 - 14 - 25

  HERE'S HOW MY DAY WENT :

 UP SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE NIGHT. THE WORST THING I CAN DO IS DRINK LIQUIDS. I COULD NOT QUENCH MY THIRST SO DRINK A BOTTLE OF SPARKLING WATER AND GATORADE ZERO WAS NOT THE THING TO DO MINUTES BEFORE GOING TO BED.

 START MORNING DOING MY THING.

 MY YOUNGEST AND I HEAD TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR A 4 BAND NIGHT.

 WE THAN HEAD TO BOB'S DINER WHERE THE STAFF WORE EAGLES SHIRTS. WHEN WE ARRIVED A YOUNG OVERWEIGHT GUY IN A WHEELCHAIR WEARING A HOSPITAL -LIKE MOO-MOO WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT PARKING OR WHEEL CHAIR ENTRANCE. I AM NOT SURE WHICH.

 ANYWAY , OUR BRUNCH WAS VERY GOOD. I GOT A SPINACH/SWISS OMELETS AND MY YOUNGEST A B.L.T.  WE HARED REFILLABLE COFFEE , A ROOT BEER , AND CRANBERRY JUICE. THE STAFF WAS COOL AND OF COURSE I PLAYED WITH THEM. THEY CLOSE PROMPTLY AT 1:30PM EVERY DAY AND THEY GIVE OUT FREE KAISER AND LONG ROLLS. WE BOTH GOT 4 EACH. WE LIKED THE PLACE.

 NEXT WE HEAD TO THE APARTMENT WHERE I USE " MOLLIES " TO SUPPORT A CLOSEST SHELF. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES I ROLL HOME.

 I SEARCHED FOR THE PHILLIES SCORE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. LATER I SAW THEY GOT SMOKED.

 AT HOME I SETTLE IN AND WATCH NFL GAMES. MAN DID THE COWBOYS GET LUCKY BEATING THE GIANTS IN OVERTIME.

 I DECIDE TO CUT THE LAWN. I PRETTY MUCH HAD TO DO IT TODAY WHICH I AM GLAD I DID.

 MORE IMPORTANTLY I WATCH OUR EAGLES AGAINST THE CHIEFS IN KANSAS CITY. OF COURSE I LISTEN TO MERRILL REESE. I FELT GOOD ABOUT THIS GAME AND THE BIRDS CAME UP BIG WITH A 20 - 17 WIN. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME MAHOLMES LOST 3 GAMES IN A ROW. TO WIN IN K.C. IS HUGE. TECHNICALLY , IT SHOULD OF BEEN 20 - 10 BUT TWO TIMES THE EAGLES SAFETY LET 2 RECEIVERS BEHIND THEM......ONE SCORED A TOUCHDOWN. IT WAS MY ONLY COMPLAINT. YOU ARE TAUGHT IN 6TH GRADE FOOTBALL , " NEVER EVER LET A RECEIVER BEHIND YOU ".

 AT HALF TIME I RIDE MY VTX TO THE NAIL. I TIME IT PERFECT FOR THE 2ND HALF STARTS AND I AGAIN PUT MERRILL REESE AND MIKE QUICK ON THE RADIO. IT COMPLETELY CHANGES THE ENJOYMENT OF WATCHING A GAME.

 THE BANDS AND FANS BEGIN TO ARRIVE. I LIKED 3 OF THE 4 ACTS TONIGHT. ONE , I HAD TO GO OUTSIDE AND TO WASTE TIME I CLEANED AND WIPE DOWN MY BIKE. 

 I WAS GETTING TIRED ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE BAND WENT OVER THEIR SET TIME BY 30 MINUTES. TO ME , THIS IS THE UNWRITTEN RULE THAT WAS BROKEN AND A SLAP IN THE FACE TO OTHER BANDS WHO DO PLAY ON TIME.

 WHEELS SEND A VIDEO OF WHERE SHE IS STAYING. LET'S JUST SAY THE GULF OF MEXICO IS STEPS AWAY.

 I SLOWLY RIDE MY VTX HOME ON A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.

 THE PUP GREETS ME AND MY ELDEST COMES HOME BUT THAN GOES BACK OUT.

 I WATCH SOME FOOTBALL , NEWS , EAGLES POSTGAME , AND AN EPISODE OF PEACEMAKER WHICH WAS VERY GOOD.

 I HEAD TO BED AROUND MIDNIGHT BUT TOSS AND TURN ALL NIGHT..........BLOW.

 THOUGH CHARLIE KIRK PERSUADED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO HIS OPINIONS IT DOESN'T MEAN HE DESERVED TO BE SHOT AND KILLED. A BAND TONIGHT EXPRESSED HARSH WORDS TOWARDS HIM THAT I DID NOT AGREE ON.

  MONDAY     9 - 15 - 25

 AFTER A LONG , LITTLE STRESSFUL WEEKEND OF SHOWS , IT WAS TIME TO HEAD NORTH.

 SLEPT BRUTALLY BAD TONIGHT. I JUST DON'T GET IT.

 QUICK LOAD UP AND THE PUP AND I HEAD NORTH. BUT FIRST.....A FB MARKETPLACE STOP.

 I STOP IN LANSDALE WHICH WAS ON THE WAY. I PICK UP A BRAND NEW CPAP MASK CLEANER AND A BRAND NEW CPAP MACHINE FOR FREE. THIS IS WELL OVER $800 IN PRODUCT. I ALWAYS WANTED A MASK CLEANER. THE GUY IS VERY COOL IN A BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD. I ACTUALLY TOOK A PICTURE OF HIS HOME. IT ENDS UP HE IS RETIRED FROM AN INSURANCE COMPANY WHEELS AND I KNOW.

  AROUND 10AM I STOP AT ONE OF THE BEST MCDONALDS I EVER HAD FOR BREAKFAST. IT JUST TELLS ME THE ONE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BLOWS.

 I CONTINUE TO HEAD NORTH. I STOP TO REFUEL AND THE LIQUOR STORE. MY ELDEST DRANK MY WHISKEY SO I GOT ANOTHER BOTTLE.

 CALLED MY PARENTS TO CHECK IN.

 I ARRIVE AND IT IS PICTURE PERFECT HERE. THE RENTER LEFT IT OKAY BUT SOME LITTLE THINGS WERE ANNOYING LIKE TURNING ALL UNDER CABINETS LIGHTS OFF EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A SWITCH. OUR HOME NEEDS A FULL CLEAN NO DOUBT.

 I GET MY COMPUTER WORK DONE. MONDAYS ARE THE LONGEST DAY OF THE WEEK FOR ME........COMPUTER-WISE THAT IS.

 TWO DEER 10 FEET FROM OUR BACK DOOR. THIS NEVER GETS OLD.

  THE PUP AND I SETTLE IN. I WATCH 2 EPISODES OF THE NEW SEASON OF THE WALKING DEAD : DARYL DIXON. BOTH WERE GOOD.

 WATCH AN EPISODE OF PEACEMAKER. I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD THIS SERIES IS SO FAR. I EVEN WATCHED SOME OF THE PODCAST. I FOUND OUT THE PIECE OF ASS MAIN ACTRESS JENNIFER HOLLAND IS MARRIED TO......THE DIRECTOR. OF COURSE HE IS.

 THAN MY PHILLIES OUT IN LOS ANGELES FOR A 10:10PM GAME. THIS IS A BIG BIG SERIES AND THE PHILLIES WENT BACK AND FORTH ALL GAME WITH THE DODGERS. THIS COULD BE A PREVIEW OF THE UPCOMING PLAYOFFS. PHILLIES WIN IN A REMARKABLE GAME 6 - 5 IN 10 INNINGS. OUR CLOSER DURAN SHIT THE BED BY " SHAKING OFF " REALMUTO'S SIGN. THE NEXT PITCH ...........A DODGER BATTER SMOKED A HOME RUN TO TIE THE GAME IN THE 9TH INNING. I STAYED UP TO 1:15AM AND WATCHED THE WHOLE GAME.

 PHILLIES CLINCHED BEING IN THE PLAYOFFS 2 DAYS AGO. TONIGHT THEY CLINCHED THE DIVISION. I BELIEVE THERE IS 11 GAMES TO GO. THE PHILLIES HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO GET THE #2 SEED WHICH WOULD GET THEM A FIRST ROUND BYE. I KNOW , I KNOW , FIRST ROUND BYES HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD LATELY BUT I WILL ALWAYS TAKE IT.

 BREWERS ON A DOWNWARD CYCLE WHICH GIVES THE PHILLIES A CHANCE FOR THE #1 SEED WHICH IS AMAZING BECAUSE LAST MONTH THE BREWERS WON 13 GAMES IN A ROW AND LOOKED UNBEATABLE. WELL ,THEY COOLED OFF BIG TIME AND THE PHILLIES ARE ONLY 1 GAME BEHIND THEM FOR THE BEST RECORD IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

 OH I DID DO SOME THINGS TODAY :

 - LEAF BLEW UPPER BALCONY DECK , AWNING ROOF , AND MAIN DECK. USING A PICNIC TABLE AND A 5 FOOT LADDER TO ACCESS THE AWNING ROOF IS PROBABLY NOT THE BEST IDEA FOR A 300 POUND FATTY.

 - PICKED UP SOME TRASH.

 - TRIED TO ALIGNED CANOES TO BE UPSIDE DOWN.

 - USED ORANGE SPRAY PAINT FOR HORSESHOE PIT POLES.

 - STARTED TO ORGANIZE SOME THINGS.

 - SAW LARGE POOP ON OUR ROOF. THIS MAKES ME EXTREMELY NERVOUS. I SURVEYED AND IT LOOKS LIKE NO DAMAGE TO OUR ROOF.

 MADE A REALLY GOOD CHEESE STEAK WITH ONIONS ON A FLAT GRILL.

 PLAYED ABOUT 6 GAMES OF POKER. I WON 1 AND CASHED IN TWO.

 OFF TO BED AROUND 1:15AM. I ACTUALLY TURNED THE HEAT ON. I WATCHED TV FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. I WOKE UP AROUND 3AM WITH THE PUP AGAINST ME BACK TO BACK. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS WARM IN MY BED THESE DAYS.......AND I WELCOME IT.

 IT DOES MAKE ME SAD THAT I WAS A GOD WITH A PERFECT BODY. NOW......THIS BODY IS PERFECT FOR THE OCEAN AND MARINE STUDIES. LAST TIME AT THE BEACH A GUY PUT A TRACKER ON ME TO SEE WHERE I EAT DURING THE SUMMER SEASON. I WILL NEVER ATTRACT ANOTHER PERSON AGAIN IN MY LIFE.......WOMAN OR MAN. NOT THAT I WANT IT BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR , " HEY , YOU LOOK GOOD EATING THAT ICE CREAM. "

 SPEAKING OF THE PUP.  TODAY IS HER 6TH BIRTHDAY. TIME GOES WAY TOO FAST. I POSTED SOME PICTURES ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SHE REALLY IS A SWEET SWEET GIRL.

 TALKED TO MY YOUNGEST AND TRIED TO GET HER IN MY TRAVELING GAME PLANS THIS WEEK. IT DID NOT WORK WHICH IS VERY UNDERSTANDABLE. I WOULDN'T WANT TO HANG OUT WITH MY DAD EITHER.

  TUESDAY      9 - 16 - 25

 WELP , IT'S 1AM AND I AM WRITING MY BLOG. WHY ?..........PHILLIES LATE NIGHT VS DODGERS. I FIGURE WHY NOT DO SOMETHING. I GOT MY BAND BLOGS DONE FOR SOCIALS ( 90 MINUTES ) AND MY BLOG ( 30 MINUTES )

 TODAY I SOLELY CONCENTRATED ON CLEANING AND ORGANIZING. PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE DAY AND NIGHT I DID THIS.

 TOOK THE PUP FOR A WALK AROUND THE LAKE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL HERE.

 WATCHED THE LAST 2 EPISODES OF STAR TREK : STRANGE NEW WORLDS. THEY WERE GOOD.

 WATCHED A TRUE MOVIE CALLED WARFARE. IT WAS OKAY AT BEST AND FOR SOME REASON IT IS #1 ON NETFLIX.

 MADE ANOTHER CHEESE STEAK WITH FRIED ONIONS.......DAMN GOOD.

 I SO WANTED TO ORDER A PIZZA OR GET ICE CREAM THESE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.....I DID NOT.

 WHEELS REALLY ENJOYING BEAUTIFUL ACCOMMODATIONS AND FOOD. I TALKED TO HER FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES.

 THIS BLOG COUNTER HAD 1700 HITS WITHIN 24 HOURS. WHO IN THE HELL IS READING ABOUT MY FAT LIFE ?

 A COUPLE OF NIGHTCAPS TONIGHT. IT WAS REALLY NICE TO CHILL.

 TALKED TO MY NEIGHBOR AND HIS DOG PLAYED WITH OURS.

 MAN , DID I TALK , TEXT , AND EMAIL TO A POTENTIAL RENTER OF OUR CONDO. THIS LADY WAS A NERVOUS NELLIE.

 17 BANDS COMING THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. ONE BAND HAS 133 THOUSAND FOLLOWERS ON INSTAGRAM.....IMPRESSIVE.

 I HEAD TO BED AFTER THE PHILLIES GAME. RIGHT NOW IT IS TIED 6 - 6 IN THE 9TH INNING. AT ONE POINT THE PHILLIES WERE DONE 4 - 0. I MAY STAY UP ALITTLE LONGER.

 OK , I STAYED UP. MARCHON , BATTING 150. , IS UP WITH 2 PHILLIES ON BASE IN THE 9TH INNING. I AM TALKING TO THE TV TO PLEASE LET HIM WALK AND NOT SWING ON A 2 - 0 COUNT......JUST GET TO THE NEXT BATTER. NO...HE SWINGS AND HITS A HOME RUN TO TAKE THE LEAD  9 - 6. DURANTULA COMES IN AND SHUTS THE DODGERS DOWN FOR REVENGE FROM LAST NIGHT.

 OK , HEADING TO BED AT 1:05AM. I AM SURE I'LL WATCH TV FOR 15 MINUTES OR SO.

  WEDNESDAY       9 - 17 - 25

 THE T.S.A. DID A COMPLETE SEARCH OF LUGGAGE AND SCANNED THE BODIES OF TWO 90 YEAR OLD WOMEN. THEY CLAIMED " SOMETHING " WAS ON THEIR HANDS. YOU COULD NOT OF DROPPED THE BALL MORE THAN THIS ACTION. TWO......F'N.....90 YEAR OLD WOMEN BEING TREATED LIKE THEY WERE CRIMINALS. TO SAY THIS IS WAAAAAAY THE FUCK OFF WOULD BE THE BIGGEST UNDERSTATEMENT EVER. YOU'VE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME. OH , ONE MORE THING , THOSE 2 ELDERLY WOMEN WERE MY MOTHER-IN-LAW AND AUNT LEAVING A FLORIDA AIRPORT......ONE WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR.

 AMERICAN AIRLINES DROPS THE BALL WITH A 90 MINUTE DELAY. THE PEOPLE WHO HAD CONNECTING FLIGHTS WERE TOTALLY SCREWED. ONE THING THAT COULD OF HELPED WHEN OFF-BOARDING THE PLANE......." ANYONE WITH A CONNECTING FLIGHT PLEASE LET THESE PEOPLE LEAVE NOW. " NOPE.......THEY ALL LEFT IN NORMAL FASHION. SO , IF YOU WERE IN THE LAST ROW AND HAD A CONNECTING FLIGHT.....YOU WERE SCREWED.

 NOW , MY DAY.

 TWO PLACES I LOVE GOING ALL IN ONE DAY.

 I WAS SMART TO GET MY BLOGGING DONE AND SOCIAL MEDIA BAND POSTS DURING THE LATE NIGHT PHILLIES GAME. SO , FINAL CLEAN UP AND LOADING WENT REALLY FAST.  I AM ON THE ROAD BY 9:45AM.

 STOP AT RENEE'S COLD CUT HUT FOR MY #1 BREAKFAST SANDWICHES OF EGG , SAUSAGE , CHEESE ON A CROISSANT. SO FAR , THESE ARE NUMBER #1 IN MY BOOK.

 TRUMP GOT STEPHEN COLBERT OFF THE AIR AND NOW JIMMY KIMMEL. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS .........RIGHT ?

 AT HOME I HEAD RIGHT TO THE NAIL. TO MEET AN A.T.M. TECH. I SPEND ABOUT 45 MINUTES AND ROLL BACK HOME.

 BACK HOME I HAVE A DILEMMA. I AM WHEELS AND HER MOM'S RIDE HOME FROM THE AIRPORT. THE FLIGHT GOT PUSHED BACK 90 MINUTES TO 7PM SO NOW I HAVE TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE. AFTER OUR ELDEST COULD NOT DO IT SHE NOW COULD. THIS WOULD HELP WHEELS AND I BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO GET AN UBER AND I NEEDED TO CHECK OUR CONDO.

 BY 1PM I AM ON THE ROAD EAST.  THIS IS A VERY GOOD TIME TO GO. I MAKE GREAT TIME AND BY 3PM I WAS WALKING THE PUP ON THE BEACH. I EVEN WALKED HER ALONG THE OCEAN TO HELP GET SALT WATER ON HER ITCHY PAWS.

 I SETTLE IN AND CHECK OUR PLACE. THE RENTERS LEFT IT NICE.

 OH , THE GOOD THING IS MOST OF MY PACKED STUFF STAYED IN MY CAR SINCE I WAS GOING AWAY AGAIN.

 THE 3 DAYS IN THE POCONOS WAS AWESOME. NOW.......3 DAYS AT THE BEACH.

 BY 6PM I AM DONE ALL MY LITTLE PROJECTS.

 I WATCH A MOVIE WITH JOHN CENA CALLED FREELANCE. IT ALSO STARRED THE ADORABLE ACTRESS ALISON BRIE FROM THE TV SERIES COMMUNITY. LET ME TELL YOU THIS GIRL HAS A BODY ON HER BIG TIME. THE MOVIE WAS ENTERTAINING AND I LIKED IT.

 2ND MOVIE I WATCHED WAS WITH LIAM NEESON CALLED ICE ROAD : VENGEANCE. IT WAS BAD. THE ONLY GOOD THING WAS THE SUPER HOT CHINESE ACTRESS FAN BINGBING. THE GUN FIGHT SCENES WERE THE MOST NON-BELIEVING SHOOT-OUTS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE......IT WAS LAUGHABLE.

 EXAMPLE :

 - IN A SMALL ROOM MAYBE 15 X 15 THERE ARE 4 BAD GUYS AND 2 GOOD GUYS. THEY BREAK OUT SEMI-AUTOMATIC MACHINE GUNS AND FIRE AWAY AT EACH OTHER. THE GOOD GUYS FLIP A WOOD TABLE OVER WHILE THE BAD GUYS HIDE BEHIND CURTAINS. BULLETS ARE FLYING ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE AND ONE BAD GUY GETS HIT WHILE A GOOD GUY ( LIAM NEESON ) GETS GRAZED. IT HAD TO BE A 1,000 BULLETS FLYING ALL OVER AND 6 OF THE 7 PEOPLE IN A 15 X 15 ROOM SURVIVED.

 ANOTHER SCENE WHERE THE GOOD GUYS ARE SHOOTING AN A.K. ASSAULT GUN AND A SHOT GUN OUT THE BACK DOOR OF THE BUS. THE CAR CHASING THEM IS LITERALLY ON THEIR BUMPER. ALL THEIR SHOTS MISS. YOU DO NOT SEE ONE BULLET EVEN HIT THE CAR. AGAIN , IT WAS LAUGHABLE.

 WATCHED THE PHILLIES LOSE GAME 3 TO THE DODGERS. I HAVE TO SAY WINNING 2 OF 3 AGAINST THE DODGERS IN L.A. WAS UNEXPECTED. I BELIEVE THE PHILLIES HAVE A 5 1/2 GAME LEAD WITH 9 GAMES TO GO TO SECURE A #2 SEED. THE BREWERS ARE UP 2 1/2 GAMES WHICH IS FEELING UNCATCHABLE NOW ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY JUST SWEPT THE LOWLY LAST PLACE ANGELS.

 WALK THE PUP ON THE NIGHT BEACH......BEAUTIFUL.

 PLAY 2 REAL CASH GAMES POKER......WORST EVER.

 $20 BUY-IN - 1ST GAME , 1ST HAND , AND I HAVE ACE/QUEEN. I HIT AN ACE FOR TOP PAIR. A PLAYER PUTS ME ALL-IN....HE HAS TRIP 10'S. I'M OUT ON THE FIRST FUCKING HAND.

 I RE-BUY AND MY ACE/KING LOSES TO JACK / 9. THE PLAYER ACTUALLY HIT TRIP JACKS. HE CALLED MY ALL-IN WITH JACK FUCKING 9............UN.....FUCKING.......BELIEVABLE.

 IN 15 MINUTES I LOST $40 AND YELL OUT , " FUCK THIS , BACK TO FREE POKER. "

 I HEAD TO BED WHERE THE PUP WAS ALREADY UNDER THE COVERS.

  THURSDAY        9 - 18 - 25

  PICTURE PERFECT DAY. I'VE BEEN WALKING THE PUP IN THE OCEAN WATER TO HELP HER WITH ITCHY PAWS. IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING VERY WELL.

 STARTED CLEANING BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS TO GET A JUMP ON THINGS.

 FOR THE 5TH TIME SALMON OIL SPILLED IN OUR PUP'S FOOD CONTAINER.......BLOW.

 TEXTED FRIENDS , " ANYTHING GOING ON TONIGHT ? OWENS PUB , SHIP N SHORE , PORNHUB ? " I NEVER GOT A TEXT BACK BY EITHER OF THEM.

 I HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE FOR IRISH WEEK SO I TOOK A RIDE TO CHECK IT OUT.

 DROVE TO 2ND STREET BUT IT WAS TOO EARLY. VENDERS WERE JUST SETTING UP.

 DROVE TO OWENS PUB AT 4:15PM.....JAMMED PACKED.

 DROVE TO SHIP N SHORE........NOT ONE BAR SEAT AVAILABLE AT THE BAR.

 DROVE TO THE WATERFRONT. I GOT A BAR SEAT , HAD TO MOVE TWICE TO HELP OTHERS GET A SEAT , AND ENJOYED WINGS , SURF & TURF BURGER , AND CAPE MAY DRAFTS. I ORDERED WINGS FIRST BUT TOLD THE WAITRESS BEHIND THE BAR I WILL ORDER A BURGER NEXT.  I NEVER SAW HER AGAIN. I ORDERED THE BURGER THROUGH A BARTENDER AND SHE GOT IT TO GO. I FELT LIKE GRANDPA SIMPSON STARING AT BARTENDERS TO GET THEIR ATTENTION. IT WAS NOT THAT BUSY FOR 8 STAFF WITH JUST 30 PEOPLE.

 I ROLL OUT AND HAPPEN TO GO BY A DAIRY QUEEN.

 BACK HOME I WALK THE PUP IN THE OCEAN AGAIN. IT IS SO DAMN NICE HERE.

  PHILLIES ARE OFF AND BOTH BREWERS AND DODGERS WIN. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE PHILLIES.

 FEVER PULL UPSET AND WIN FIRST ROUND SERIES IN ATLANTA. I ACTUALLY WATCHED THE LAST 5 MINUTES. WELL , I MORE LIKE " CHECKED IN " EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES OR SO. I FEEL SO LESS MANLY WRITING ABOUT WNBA.

 WATCH AN EPISODE OF PEACEMAKER. AGAIN , VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT.

 WATCH ALOT OF NEWS TODAY. MANY TIMES I WATCH TWO VERSIONS TO GET PERSPECTIVE ON BOTH SIDES. I WILL WATCH FOX NEWS ( NOT A NEWS STATION BUT ENTERTAINMENT SOURCE AFTER LAW SUIT ) AND CNN. IT AMAZES ME HOW BOTH NEWS AGENCIES ARE SO DIFFERENT ON THE SAME STORY.

 FOX - KIMMEL REMOVED AND FIRED FROM ABC DUE TO LOW RATINGS AND KIRK COMMENTS.

 CNN - F.C.C. DIRECTOR ANDREW CARR HIRED BY TRUMP PRESSURES DISNEY TO SUSPEND KIMMEL SHOW DUE TO KIRK COMMENTS.

 FORMER F.C.C. DIRECTOR COMMENTED AND SAW KIMMELS REMARKS. THEY DO NOT WARRANT A SUSPENSION. IN FACT , THE F.C.C. DOES NOT PENALIZE FOR COMEDIENNES HUMOR AND/OR OPINIONS.

 JIMMY KIMMEL GETS CANCELLED. NOW HERE IS ANOTHER STORY THAT PEOPLE SAY , " HE WAS LET GO OR FIRED. " AGAIN , MISINFORMATION. I EVEN SAW MY COUSIN POST ON FB ABOUT HOW HE WAS FIRED DUE TO BAD RATINGS. AGAIN , NOT TRUE. SO , BOTH COLBERT AND KIMMEL JUST HAPPENED TO BE FIRED OR CANCELLED ? BOTH OF THESE HOSTS WERE TRUMP'S NEMESIS WITH JOKES AND FACT TELLING.

 FOR JIMMY KIMMEL GETTING LET GO. LET ME BACK UP , JUST YESTERDAY TRUMP WAS IN ENGLAND AND WAS ASKED ABOUT FREE SPEECH AND A CERTAIN TV HOST BEING LET GO. OF COURSE TRUMP SAYS , " KIMMEL IS IN A IDIOT WITH BAD RATINGS. HE NEVER SHOULD OF BEEN ON TV. " WHAT FUCKING PRESIDENT TALKS LIKE THIS ??!!

 ANOTHER THING NOT MENTIONED ON FOX NEWS , DID YOU SEE THE CROWDS ALONG THE BIG BEN BRIDGE TO PROTESTING TRUMP.....HOLY SHIT IT HAD TO BE 500,000 PEOPLE.

 OKAY BACK TO KIMMEL BEING LET GO. TRUMP'S F.C.C. REP BRENDAN CARR SAID ( THIS IS A FUCKING QUOTE NOW ) TO THE DISNEY EXECUTIVES , " WE CAN DO THIS THE HARD WAY OR EASY WAY. " DISNEY TOOK THE KNEE BECAUSE FIGHTING THE GOVERNMENT AND F.C.C WOULD BE FUTILE. CARR ALSO SAID ,  THESE SPONSORS NEED TO CHANGE THEIR CONDUCT AND TAKE ACTION ON KIMMEL OR THE F.C.C. HAS SOME WORK TO DO. THAT DAY KIMMEL WAS SUSPENDED.

 WALK THE PUP LATE NIGHT ON THE BEACH. IT IS ALWAYS SO SURREAL AT NIGHT.

 BACK HOME I CHILL , CHECK EMAILS , AND PLAY 3 GAMES OF POKER WHERE I LOSE ON BAD BEATS 3 TIMES IN A ROW. I SAY TO MYSELF , " FUCK THIS , I'M DONE " AND HEAD TO BED. THE PUP JOINS ME.

 HERE'S SOME QUOTES IF YOU STILL THINK KIMMEL WAS LET GO DUE TO DISNEY LOSING MONEY AND BAD RATINGS. ALL COMPANIES HAVE MONEY INTEREST WITH TRUMP. :

 Speaking with CNN’s Erin Burnett after Kimmel’s show was taken off the air, Gomez said “the First Amendment does not allow us, the FCC, to tell broadcasters what they can broadcast.

   But Anna Gomez, the lone Democratic commissioner at the FCC, wrote on X that while “an inexcusable act of political violence by one disturbed individual must never be exploited as justification for broader censorship and control,” the Trump administration “ is increasingly using the weight of government power to suppress lawful expression.”

 “I saw the clip. He did not make any unfounded claims, but he did make a joke, one that others may even find crude, but that is neither illegal nor grounds for companies to capitulate to this administration in ways that violate the First Amendment,” Gomez told CNN. “ This sets a dangerous new precedent, and companies must stand firm against any efforts to trade away First Amendment freedom.” 

 Nexstar is seeking Trump administration approval to acquire another big US station group, Tegna. The deal requires the FCC to loosen the government’s limits on broadcast station ownership.  Minutes after Nexstar criticized Kimmel publicly, ABC said the show was being yanked nationwide.

  Later in the evening, another big station group, Sinclair, said it had also told ABC that it was preempting Kimmel’s show on its ABC-affiliated stations before the network announced its nationwide decision. Sinclair, too, has business pending before the Trump administration, and it made a bid for Tegna a day before Nexstar stepped in with its bid. The company announced Wednesday night that it will air a one-hour special tribute to Kirk on Friday night in Kimmel’s usual time slot.  

 The FCC regulates the public airwaves, including broadcast signals and content. Before Trump appointed Carr to lead the agency, the FCC, for the most part, had taken a hands-off approach to broadcasters’ political content in recent years.

  But Carr has taken a broader view of the FCC’s remit to serve the public interest, and has served as a political attack dog for Trump, threatening his perceived enemies in the broadcast media.

      FRIDAY        9 - 19 - 25

  I AM ALWAYS EXPECTING PEOPLE TO GIVE ME CRITICISM ON MY BLOG. TONIGHT A COUPLE ASKED , " ARE YOU THE ONE THAT WRITES THE BLOG ? " THE FIRST THING I ALWAYS THINK IS , " OH MAN I OFFENDED SOMEONE AGAIN EITHER WITH MY SEX TALK OR POLITICS ". IT ENDS UP THEY WERE COOL. THEY READ THE NAIL BLOG AND WANTED TO BE MENTIONED THE NEXT DAY.

  WANNA GET 100% FACTS AND SOME  HUMOR ON ALL POLITICIANS ?........GIVE THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART A TRY.

 WELP , I ROLL HOME......BLOW.

 I WALK THE BEACH WITH THE PUP ON A PICTURE PERFECT MORNING. AGAIN , I LET HER PAWS SOAK IN THE OCEAN WATER. WE WALKED IN THE WATER'S EDGE AND STOOD FOR ABOUT 35 MINUTES. I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE.

 BY 10:30AM I AM ON THE ROAD. OH , I LOST 15 MINUTES BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND MY CAR KEY. I LOCKED AND RE-OPENED MY DOOR 3 FRICKIN' TIMES. AFTER 10 MINUTES I FOUND MY KEY IN MY BLUE JEANS THAT I WORE THE NIGHT BEFORE TO A LOCAL PUB. THE OTHER 5 MINUTES WAS I HAD TO POOP. HEY , I HAVE A 2 HOUR DRIVE AHEAD OF ME.

 LOAD UP THE CAR AND TALK TO MY NEIGHBOR FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES.

 I MAKE GOOD TIME AND LISTEN TO SPORTS TALK FOR AWHILE.  I STOP AT DUNKIN DONUTS FOR BREAKFAST SANDWICHES AND ICED COFFEE. THEY ARE IN MY TOP 5 FOR BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICHES.

 AT HOME OUR ELDEST IS UP AND SHE HELPS HUG , GREET , AND PET THE DOG WHILE WHEELS AND I UNLOAD THE CAR. THE KID HAS HER PRIORITIES.

 I GET MY COMPUTER STUFF DONE AND PUT AWAY MY TRAVEL THINGS. I CHECKED AND RESPONDED TO EMAILS AT 9AM. IT IS NOW 12:30PM AND I HAVE 20 EMAILS....MOST FROM BANDS. I RESPOND TO ALL OF THEM LIKE I ALWAYS DO. I AM PROUD WHEN BANDS WRITE ME BACK , " OMG THAT WAS FAST ". FUNNY THING......MY WIFE SAYS THE SAME THING.

  TRY TO NAP FOR A BIT SINCE I HAVE BEEN UP BEFORE THE SUN ROSE.

 WHEELS AND I ORDER A PIZZA AND WATCH THE NEWS. MY GOD THE FIRST 15 MINUTES IS SO DEPRESSING.

 AN EARLY SHOW COMBINED WITH A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND ALBUM RELEASE ALWAYS MEANS A FUN TIME.

 TALK TO A MOUNTAIN HOUSE RENTER WHO DID NOT FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS ON PRINTING OUT A CAR PASS FOR HIS DASHBOARD. OF COURSE SECURITY ASKED HIM WHILE HE WAS PARKED ALONG THE LAKE FISHING. WHEELS AND I SENT HIM A PICTURE THAT HIS TRUCK WAS REGISTERED EVEN THOUGH THE SECURITY GUY SAID IT WAS NOT. OH THIS WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK TO US AND IN NOT A GOOD WAY.

 I TAKE MY VTX TO THE NAIL AND SETTLE IN. I PREP AND BEGIN LOADING THE ACTS IN. ON THE DOOR I PLAYED WITH MANY PATRONS.   THE BANDS MOVED ALONG PERFECTLY. WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT TIMING BECAUSE THE LAST BAND WAS HIS ALBUM RELEASE AND BIRTHDAY. THE GOOD ( QUICK CHANGEOVER ) AND BAD ( SAME MUSICIANS IN 2 BANDS ) WERE TWO BANDS HAVING THE SAME BAND MEMBERS. THE HOST AND I DID NOT KNOW THIS BUT IT WORKED OUT FINE. PLUS , ONE BAND WAS BOOKED LAST MINUTE AFTER ONE BAND HAD TO CANCEL TO DUE TO A HOSPITAL EMERGENCY.

  I ENJOYED ALL MUSIC AND PEOPLE. EVERY ONE WAS SUPER COOL.

 SOMETIMES BEING NICE IS JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THE STORY :

 A GUY COMES IN AND IS CLEARLY DOWN ON HIS LUCK AND DEFINITELY HAVING ISSUES WITH LIFE. HIS MENTAL STATE WAS NOT GOOD EITHER , HIS FACE AND NECK WERE COVERED WITH SCRAPE MARKS OR LESIONS.....I'M NOT QUITE SURE. ANYWAY , AT THE DOOR , HE TELLS ME HE HAS NO MONEY BUT HAS THESE TINY CRYSTALS THAT COULD BE WORTH MONEY BUT PROBABLY WERE GLASS........HEY , AT LEAST HE WAS HONEST. HE TOLD ME HE WAS JUST LET OUT OF PRISON. I BOUGHT HIM A BEER AND A BARTENDER GAVE HIM AN ORANGE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND LET HIM LISTEN TO SOME MUSIC.  OH , HE ASKED IF WE HAD ANY VEGETABLES. WE DID NOT.

 CONTINUED - HE LEFT AND CAME BACK 3 TIMES. HE WAS CARRYING A MEDIUM SIZE BAG OF SOAP BARS. I AM NOT SURE WHY BUT AT LEAST THE SMELL WAS PLEASANT WHEREVER HE WENT.  HE TOOK A HALF CIGARETTE OUT OF AN ASHTRAY AND ASKED ME FOR A LIGHT. I DO NOT SMOKE SO HAD NO LIGHT. HE EVENTUALLY MOVED ON AND STARTING WALKING DOWN THE STREET. I WAS GLAD I HELPED HIM A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I WOULD WANT SOMEONE TO DO THE SAME WITH ME.

 PHILLIES WITH A GOOD SOLID 8 - 2 WIN AFTER BEING DOWN 2 - 0. THEIR CHANCES OF SECURING A #2 LOOK FAVORABLE AND EVEN THE #1 SEED IS A SHOT SINCE THE BREWERS LOST TONIGHT. PHILLIES ARE 2 GAMES BEHIND THEM WITH 10 TO GO. IF THE PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY THE PHILLIES WOULD HAVE A FIRST ROUND BYE AND THE DODGERS AND METS WOULD PLAY EACH OTHER IN THE FIRST ROUND.

 TALKED TO MY MOM , COUSIN , AND A BROTHER TODAY. MOST OF THE CONVERSATIONS INVOLVED FAMILY AND DRINKING. THESE ARE TWO COMMON DENOMINATORS IN MY FAMILY TREE.

 THE NIGHT ENDS PRETTY COOLLY ( IS THAT WORD ? ) IN A GROUP EMAIL THAT THE LAST BAND'S LEAD SINGER SENT THE LYRICS TO A SONG. ALL THE 5 ACTS AND SINGERS IN THE AUDIENCE ALL GOT ON STAGE AND SANG THAT SONG TO END THE NIGHT. I BELIEVE IT WAS A BOB DYLAN SONG. I THOUGHT, " NOW THIS IS WHAT MUSIC AND THE NAIL IS ALL ABOUT ". I POSTED A SHORT 1 MINUTE VIDEO OF THIS GET TOGETHER ON STAGE.

 I WIND DOWN WITH A DRAFT OF SIERRA NEVADA HAZY LITTLE THING WHILE WATCHING THE PHILLIES LAST 2 INNINGS. IT WAS CLOSE AT 3 - 2 BUT THAN THE PHILLIES BLEW IT OPEN TO 8 - 2 SO THE BARTENDERS AND I ROLLED OUT BEFORE THE GAME ENDED. WHEN THE LEAD WENT TO 8 - 2 I KNEW THEY WOULD NOT PUT IN DURANTULA.......WHO'S FUN TO WATCH.

 A NICE SLOW CHILL RIDE HOME ON MY VTX. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT. AT HOME I SETTLE IN WITH A BOTTLED WATER AND A SLICE OF PIZZA. I WATCHED THE NEWS AND HEAD TO BED AROUND 1:30AM.

 LAST STORY - WHY DID I THINK THIS ?

 - I VISIONED A BURGLAR ENTERING MY HOME WHILE WHEELS SLEPT SO I TURNED ON MY SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS VIA MY CELL PHONE. I WATCHED THE PHILLIES AND MY PHONE AT THE END OF THE NIGHT. I EVEN WROTE MY ADDRESS DOWN AND SHOWED THE BARTENDER. THIS WAS IN CASE I HAD TO LEAVE AND SHE WOULD CALL THE POLICE FOR ME WHILE I RODE MY MOTORCYCLE HOME......THOUGHT THIS WAS WEIRD BUT IN TODAY'S WORLD AND THE NEWS WE WATCH OF ALL THE BAD THINGS HAPPENING I GUESS THIS IS PART OF THE NORM.

 OFF TO BED WHERE I ALMOST HAD 2 SEX DREAMS. EVEN I MY DREAMS I CAN NOT HAVE FUN........BLOW.

   SATURDAY      9 - 20 - 25

 WELP , THIS WAS AN UNEXPECTED LONG DAY.......BUT FUN.

 PHILLIES LOSE , EVERYONE CHASING US OR AHEAD OF US WINS......BLOW. 7 GAMES LEFT AND WE NEED TO WIN 3 GAMES (OR DODGERS TO LOSE 3) TO CLINCH A #2 SEED. WHY DO I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT IT ?

 TRIED TO GET EAGLES TICKETS SINCE A SUNDAY SHOW HERE WAS CANCELLED. I FOUND " WAY TOO GOOD " TICKETS FOR SALE. WHEN THE PERSON TOLD ME , " I'M A FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND GET MAKE THE GAME. I AM FROM OHIO BUT AN EAGLES FAN ". MY ANTENNAS WENT UP AND STOPPED COMMUNICATION.

  TRIED PUTTING TOGETHER A NEW CPAP MACHINE AND A NEW CPAP MASK CLEANER. MY GOD I COULD NOT DO IT.

 I DID GET OUR NAIL IPOD TO WORK AGAIN. THIS IS LITTLE BUT BIG TO ME. IT HAS PLAY LISTS THAT WE USE BETWEEN BANDS.

 BY 5PM WHEELS , MYSELF , AND YOUNGEST HEAD TO THE NAIL. WE PREP FOR THE NIGHT. WHEELS AND I ROLL OUT TO A LARGE 80TH SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY.

 WE ARRIVE AND THERE IS AT LEAST 150 PEOPLE THERE. IT WAS AT MCCALLS GOLF CLUB AND IT WAS VERY NICE. THERE WERE LOTS OF COUSINS TO SEE , A JOAN RIVERS IMPERSONATOR  , SOME COUSINS SANG , A DJ , FOOD WAS GOOD , AND MORE. THE ONLY THING THAT SUCKED WAS I HAD TO LEAVE AND GET BACK TO THE NAIL.

 I COULD OF STAYED LONGER BUT THE FIRST ACT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THE MIXING BOARD. THE BARTENDER AND OTHER MUSICIANS TRIED BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK. WHEN I GOT THERE WE FIGURED IT OUT......HIS GUITAR WAS THE PROBLEM. I WOULD OF STAYED A LITTLE LONGER AT THE PARTY BUT IT ENDED UP I WAS GLAD WE LEFT BECAUSE WE ENDED UP HAVING A GOOD CROWD.

 THE NIGHT MOVED ALONG AND EVERYONE WAS COOL. I REALLY LIKED THE LAST BAND CALLED INVIS.

 BARTENDER AND I DECIDE TO DO THE " CLOSE " TOMORROW TO SAVE TIME AND GO TO AN AFTER BIRTHDAY PARTY AT MY COUSINS HOUSE RIGHT NEAR THE NAIL. THIS WAS AT 11:15PM......OH.......MY........GOD.

 WE ARRIVE TO ABOUT 20 COUSINS HANGING OUT. WE SETTLE IN WITH SNACKS AND DRINKS AND MAN DID THE FUN START. JOKES AND STORIES WERE CONSTANT. THE OLDER COUSINS HAD SOME AWESOME STORIES. WE LAUGHED INTO THE NIGHT.  I WAS SO GLAD WE STOPPED BY. THE ONLY THING IS.........WE LEFT AT 2:45AM. I WAS FEELING GOOD TO SAY THE LEAST SO I WAS NERVOUS DRIVING HOME.

 AT HOME OUR ELDEST HAS FRIENDS OVER. I ASK HER TO COME UPSTAIRS FROM THE BASEMENT TO SAY GOOD NIGHT TO HER MOM. THERE WAS MORE LAUGHTER AS I MADE JOKES BECAUSE WHEELS WAS FEELING QUITE GOOD.

 IN BED BY 3AM.........JESUS WHAT A DAY.

 SUNDAY      9 - 21 - 25

 I WAS WRITING THIS BLOG FOR 30 MINUTES AND HIT A KEYBOARD BUTTON.....IT ALL DISAPPEARED. FUCKKKKKKK !!

 SO , LET ME RE-FUCKING WRITE EVERYTHING A-FUCKING-GAN. ( GAN SOUNDS BETTER THAN GAIN WITH THE "F" WORD BETWEEN A & G )

 BANDS CANCELLED TONIGHT SO I WAS ACTIVELY SEARCHING FOR EAGLES TICKETS. I WAS VERY CLOSE TO PULLING THE TRIGGER BUT DUE TOO LATE NIGHT PARTYING MY DECISION WAS MADE NOT TO GO.

 EAGLES HAVE THE WORST FIRST HALF IN DECADES. LOSING 26 - 7 EARLY IN THE 3RD QUARTER. SO GLAD I DID NOT GO.

 EAGLES HAVE THEIR BIGGEST COMEBACK IN 40 YEARS. WIN GAME 33 - 26. SO WISH I WENT.

 WE START MORNING BY HEADING TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT. MY YOUNGEST IS NOT FEELING WELL AT ALL SO I LET HER CHILL AND SIP ON GINGER ALE. I GET EVERYTHING DONE IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES.

 WE HAVE TO DRIVE BACK HOME BECAUSE MY YOUNGEST FORGOT SOME THINGS. I ACTUALLY SAW THEM IN THE BATHROOM BUT I FORGOT TO TELL HER. WE DRIVE BACK HOME.

 NOW WE HEAD TO SOUTH PHILLY. WE DO NOT STOP FOR BRUNCH LIKE WE ALWAYS DO. MY YOUNGEST SO WAS NOT FEELING GOOD. I DROP HER OFF AND SHE GOES RIGHT TO BED.

 I HEAD HOME AND STOP AT DUNKIN DONUTS FOR COFFEE AND 2 BREAKFAST SANDWICHES. THEY ARE IN MY TOP 5 FOR BREAKFAST PLUS THEY ARE THE ONLY FAST FOOD CHAIN THAT SERVES BREAKFAST SANDWICHES 24 / 7.

 I LISTEN TO THE EAGLES AND MERRILL REESE ON THE WAY HOME. MY GOD DO THEY PLAY BAD. IT WAS BRUTAL TO LISTEN TO BUT MERRILL MADE IT ENTERTAINING.

 I ARRIVE HOME AND IT IS HALFTIME. I GO RIGHT TO MY COMPUTER TO CHECK EMAILS. I ALWAYS WATCH THE GAME WITH WHEELS IN THE MAIN ROOM WITH MERRILL AND MIKE QUICK ON THE RADIO. THE 2ND PLAY THE RAMS SACK HURTS BIG TIME ,  CREATE A FUMBLE , AND SCORE ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN RIGHT AWAY TO MAKE IT 26 - 7. WORST GAME EVER AND SO GLAD I DID NOT GO.

 I MUST CHANGE THE JINX OF BAD LUCK SO I GO BACK TO MY BEDROOM TO CHECK EMAILS AND PLAY POKER WHILE WATCHING THE GAME AND LISTENING TO MERRILL AND MIKE ON THE RADIO. EAGLES NEVER GIVE UP ANOTHER POINT AND GO ON TO WIN 33 - 26 WITH A BLOCKED FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT AS THE RAMS WERE TRYING TO WIN AND TIME EXPIRED. OUR LINEMAN JORDAN DAVIS BLOCKS THE KICK AND RETURNS IT FOR A TOUCH DOWN. THE LINC GOES APE SHIT. THIS WAS THE BEST GAME TO ATTEND IN 50 YEARS......AND I MISSED IT. BEST..........WIN.........EVER !!!

 COWGIRLS LOSING TO THE BEARS MAKES THE CAKE TASTE EVEN BETTER. SOME REALLY CRAZY GAME ENDING N THE NFL TODAY. PACKERS LOSING TO THE BROWNS HELPS MAKE THE DAY BETTER TOO.

  PHILLIES LOSE AGAIN AND I SURE HOPE THEY ARE NOT COOLING OFF AT THE WRONG TIME. THEY GET SMOKED BUT WE GET SOME HELP. THE GIANTS FINALLY WIN ONE GAME OF THE 4 GAME SERIES AGASINT THE DODGERS. THIS DROPPED THE PHILLIES MAGIC # TO 2 TO GET A 1ST ROUND BYE. PHILLIES ARE UP 4 GAMES OVER THE DODGERS WITH 6 GAMES TO PLAY. PHILLIES WILL BE HOME FOR ALL OF THEM BUT THE FIRST SERIES IS WITH THE MARLINS WHO ARE THE HOTTEST TEAM IN BASEBALL WINNING THEIR  LAST 9 OF 10 GAMES.

 WNBA - FEVER WIN AN AWAY 2ND ROUND PLAYOFF GAME AND UPSET ( I DON'T EVEN KNOW THEIR NAME ) TO WIN GAME 1 OF THE BEST OF 5 SERIES.

 WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF HIGH POTENTIAL. IT WAS GOOD. WE ALSO WATCH 2 EPISODES OF ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING WHICH VERY GOOD. MARTIN SHORT HAS BEEN EXCELLENT THIS SEASON.

 BY 10:45PM I HEAD TO MY BEDROOM TO WATCH REPLAYS OF FOOTBALL AND SPORTS NEWS. I HEAD TO BED PRETTY TIRED.

 OH , STARTING THURSDAY THIS WEEK THE NAIL HAS 10 SHOWS IN 11 DAYS.

 OH , ONE MORE THING.....I SLEPT INCREDIBLY BAD BECAUSE ALL I KEPT THINKING WAS THE EAGLES REMARKABLE COMEBACK WIN AND TURNING ON THE RADIO TO HEAR SPORTS TALK THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. THIS IS HOW MUCH THE EAGLES AFFECT ME. I AM AN IDIOT.

 MONDAY     9 - 22 - 25

 THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING.............THAT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF.

 NORMAL MORNING STUFF THAN MEET OUR SODA TECH AT THE NAIL. I SPEND ABOUT 2 HOURS PREPPING FOR THE NIGHT.

 BACK HOME I MAKE LUNCH AND SETTLE IN FOR A BIT.

 TRY TO FIX A BIKE AIR PUMP FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. I DO NOT THINK IT WENT WELL. IT WAS A TOTAL MACGUYVER.

  A NICE DINNER OF BORSCHT. IT WAS ACTUALLY VERY GOOD.

 RIDE MY VTX TO THE NAIL. IT'S A MONDAY SO I FIGURED IT BE SUPER SLOW......I WAS WRONG.

 FOUR SOLO ACTS AND ONE BAND THAT HAD A HUGE FOLLOWING ON INSTAGRAM.........133K. I ENJOYED ALL THE SOLO ACTS BUT THIS POPULAR BAND CALLED RYAN CASSATA WAS REALLY GOOD WITH LYRICS AND PUNK STYLE MUSIC.  I POSTED A SHORT VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA.  RYAN'S SONG WANTING TO BE A MAN BUT WILL ALWAYS BE DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL WAS QUITE MOVING. HE WAS INTERVIEWED ON LARRY KING , DR. DREW , AND ANOTHER FAMOUS PERSON I FORGET. TYRA BANKS ASKED HIM TO DRESS AS A LESBIAN TO BE INTERVIEWED ON HER SHOW BUT RYAN DENIED DOING IT.

 THE NIGHT MOVED ALONG AND EVERYONE WAS VERY NICE. I GOT TO TALK TO FANS AND MUSICIANS ALL EVENING.

 BREWERS LOSE BUT THE 2 1/2 GAMES AHEAD OF THE PHILLIES WITH 6 GAMES LEFT MIGHT BE TOO FAR TO CATCH. I THINK THE BREWERS HOLD THE TIE BREAKER. 

 PHILLIES AND DODGES WERE OFF TONIGHT. PHILLIES ARE UP 4 GAMES TO GET THE #2 SEED WITH 6 GAMES LEFT. TO SECURE THE #2 SEED THE PHILLIES NEED TO WIN 2 OF THE REMAINING 6 GAMES OR WIN 1 AND DODGERS LOSE 1 OF THEIRS OR DODGERS LOSE 2 OF THEIR 6 REMAINING. THESE ARE GOOD COMBINATIONS BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

 GOOD GAME BETWEEN THE LIONS AND RAVENS. LIONS WIN WHICH HURTS THE EAGLES A LITTLE BIT SINCE THEY ARE IN THEIR DIVISION.

  BY 11:30PM I RIDE HOME ON A VERY NICE NIGHT. MY ELDEST GETS UP AT 11:45PM AND HEADS OUT.  YEP , JUST GETTING UP.

 I START THE NEW MOVIE SUPERMAN ON HBOMAX. I WATCH THE FIRST HOUR AND I AM "EH" TO "SO-SO" AT BEST FOR BEING ENTERTAINED SO FAR. I DO NOT LIKE THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL (VERY GOOD SERIES) ACTRESS RACHEL BROSNAHAN PLAYING LOIS LANE AT ALL.

 OF COURSE THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO PISS ME OFF. OUR ASSOCIATION IN THE POCONOS ARE FUCKING ASSHOLES. AFTER 3 MONTHS I THOUGHT THERE WAS A CHANCE THEY DISMISS IT BUT I GOT A NOTICE OF A JUDICIAL HEARING IN THE MAIL. OUR YOUNGEST WHO USED HER KEY FOB CARD TO ACCESS THE DUMPSTER GOT FINED $250 BECAUSE HER FRIEND'S CAR WAS NOT REGISTERED. IT'S AN OFFICIAL LETTER AND IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A FUCKING DATE ON IT !!

  TUESDAY      9 - 23 - 25

 POCONO ASSOCIATION ADMITS THEY NEVER PLACED A HEARING DATE ON OUR NOTICE LETTER. OF COURSE IT IS SCHEDULED ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. I LEFT A MESSAGE TO STRICTLY CALL MY CELL PHONE. OFFICE CALLS OUR HOUSE PHONE.......TWICE.

 I'M SICK OF BEING FAT. RODE MY VTX TO THE NAIL TO GET SOME THINGS DONE. I HAD ABOUT 12 THINGS TO DO AND ONLY GOT HALF DONE BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF ENERGY.

 FB MARKETPLACE RUN ON MY VTX. I TOOK A NICE RIDE AND PICKED UP AN AUGER-LIKE STAND THAT SPINS INTO THE SAND ON A BEACH. IT CAN HOLD A BEACH UMBRELLA OR FISHING POLE.

 WORST MEMORY EVER.............

  PART 1 - I LEAVE THE NAIL AND NOTICE ON MY WAY BACK I LEFT SOME OUTSIDE LIGHTS ON. AFTER I PASS OUR VENUE I THINK ABOUT IT AND TURN AROUND. I PARK MY VTX OUT FRONT ( AGAIN ) AND I NOTICE I MISSED A CALL FROM MY COUSIN. WHILE TALKING TO HIM I GO IN THE NAIL TO TURN THE SECURITY SYSTEM OFF. I GO BACK OUTSIDE AND GET ON MY BIKE TO HEAD HOME.

 PART 2 - ABOUT 3 BLOCKS FOR THE NAIL I REALIZE I NEVER TURNED THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS OFF WHILE TALKING TO MY COUSIN. WORST........MEMORY .......EVER.

 AT HOME I USE THE BATHROOM AND MY NEIGHBOR SEES ME THROUGH OUR VERY OPEN WINDOW BLINDS. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME MY NEIGHBOR HAS SEEN ME IN THE BATHROOM. WHEELS HAS THIS INFATUATION OF OPENING OUR BLINDS HALFWAY UP THE WINDOW. I , EACH MORNING , LOWERING THEM. WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS BATTLE FOR 30+ YEARS. MY NEIGHBORS HAVE SEEN WHEELS TITS MORE THAN ME.

 TALK TO OUR YOUNGEST ABOUT HOW MY COUSIN REMEMBERED SETTING UP A DINNER IN CENTER CITY. WE BOTH COULD NOT BELIEVE HE REMEMBERED. HE TOLD ME DRINKING TEQUILA IS LIKE WATER TO HIM.

 WHEELS AND I SETTLE IN AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. AGAIN , VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT. WE ALSO WATCH AN EPISODE OF TULSA KING WHICH WAS GOOD.

 PHILLIES SHIT THE BED AGAIN AND KEEP LOSING. THEY ARE COOLING OFF AT THE WRONG TIME. THEY BLOW A 3 - 0 LEAD AND THE WHOLE BULLPEN SUCKED ASS GIVING UP RUNS IN EVERY OF THE LAST 5 INNINGS OF AN 11 INNING GAME. OUR ACE DURANTULA GAVE UP A FUCKING 9TH INNING HOME RUN AGAIN TO PUT THE GAME INTO EXTRA INNINGS. OF COURSE WE LOSE. MAYBE THERE IS A REASON THE TWINS TRADED HIM TO US.

 THE GOOD THING IS THE ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS BECAUSE THEY CAME BACK FROM A 4 - 0 DEFICIT AGAINST THE DODGERS TO WIN 5 - 4. WHY ? , THE DODGERS ARE CHASING THE PHILLIES FOR A 2ND SEED. THE PHILLIES MAGIC # TO CLINCH THE SECOND SEED AND A PLAYOFF FIRST ROUND BYE DROPPED TO ONE BECAUSE THE DODGERS SHIT THE BEST WORST THAN THE PHILLIES.

 SO , WITH 5 GAMES LEFT THE PHILLIES NEED TO WIN ONE GAME OR THE DODGERS TO LOSE ONE GAME. WE ARE STILL MATHEMATICALLY ALIVE FOR THE #1 SEED BUT NOT LIKELY EVEN THOUGH THE BREWERS HAVE BEEN ON A LOSING STREAK JUST LIKE THE PHILLIES.

 FEVER LOSE BY 30 IN GAME 2 OF THEIR PLAYOFFS. HOW THE HELL DO YOU WIN BY 20 IN GAME 1 AND LOSE THE NEXT GAME BY 30 ?

 ELDEST WAS INVITED TO GO TO THE PHILLIES GAME TONIGHT. SHE WAS PISSED SHE NEVER SAW HER 20 TEXTS FROM A FRIEND. SHE FINALLY SAW THEM AT 8PM WHEN SHE GOT UP. YEP , 8.......P........M. I HAVE TOLD HER NUMEROUS  TIMES , " SLEEPING SO LATE AND YOUR MISSING LIFE. " I ALSO MENTIONED SEEING THE SUN IS A GOOD THING TOO.

 OH , I FINISHED THE NEW SUPERMAN ON HBOMAX. IT WAS BRUTALLY BAD. I EVEN WROTE A GOOGLE REVIEW.

   WEDNESDAY      9 - 24 - 25

 EMAILS , SOCIAL MEDIA BAND POSTS , 32 BANDS IN THE NEXT 10 OF 11 NIGHTS , BEER ORDERS , FOOD ORDERS , LIQUOR ORDERS , AND FIXING A CORN HOLE GAME LOCK ( THEY SHOULD REALLY CHANGE THAT NAME )

 MORNING IS DONE AND I CAN'T GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR. THE WHOLE DAY I AM JUST VERY TIRED. I DECIDE TO TAKE A NAP.

 SHOWER , SHAVE , AND GET DRESSED FOR A DINNER WITH A COUSIN , YOUNGEST , HER ROOM MATE , AND WHEELS. WE HIT TRAFFIC AND FINALLY ARRIVE AT MY COUSIN'S HOUSE AROUND 5:15PM. WE ALL HEAD TO A RESTAURANT CALLED PARC IN CENTER CITY. WE MEET OUR YOUNGEST AND HER ROOM MATE. THE 5 OF US HAVE A VERY NICE MEAL AND SHARE LAUGHS OF COURSE. IT AS REALLY GOOD TIME.

 MY REVIEW ON THE RESTAURANT PARC :

 - WAITER CLAIMED THEY HAD THE BEST FRENCH ONION SOUP IN THE CITY. THIS WAS NOT TRUE OR EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN OTHER RESTAURANTS.

 - OUR WAITER IS SUPER NICE AND LOOKED LIKE DAK PRESCOTT. HIS ONLY FLAW WAS TOO MUCH TALKING. I DID LIKE HIM.

 - ALL MEALS WERE GOOD OF BEEF , TROUT , STEAK , AND PASTA. I THOUGHT THE PASTA WAS THE BEST.

 - APPETIZERS OF GAZPACHO , LOBSTER RAVIOLI , AND BURRATA CHEESE SALAD DISH ON TOAST WAS THE BEST.

 - THEIR RAISIN-LIKE BREAD WAS MY FAVORITE.

 - DRINK SELECTION WAS MUCH DIFFERENT AND OFF MENU SO TO SPEAK WHICH WE LIKED. ONE DRINK WAS TOO STRONG WHICH IS RARE.....BUT WE FINISHED IT.

 - PRICE........OOOF. IT'S EXPENSIVE.

 - BEAUTIFUL AMBIANCE AND THE RESTAURANT IS ALWAYS BUSY.

 - PARKING IS SUPER CLOSE IN A SMALL PARKING GARAGE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER THAT HAS THE CAPABILITIES TO MOVE CARS ON AN ELEVATOR. THE STREET IS A LITTLE SUSPECT.

 OVERALL , IT WAS THE " GETTING TOGETHER " PART THAT MADE THIS MEAL THE BEST. PARC WAS ON MY LIST BUT I HAVE TO BE HONEST IT DID NOT IMPRESS ME SO MUCH LIKE REVIEWS I READ. EVEN MY COUSIN SAID THEY GO HERE OFTEN. AT THEIR PRICES , I DO NOT SEE HOW.

 WE SAY GOODBYES AND HUG OUT. MY COUSIN DRIVES HOME AND WE TALK MORE DURING THE RIDE. HE IS MY FAVORITE COUSIN TO HANG WITH.

  OH , THE WHOLE REASON FOR DOING DINNER WAS THE AFTER PARTY ON SATURDAY NIGHT WHERE ME AND MY YOUNGEST WERE RIBBING HIM ABOUT DOING DINNER TOGETHER AND HE ALWAYS SAID YES FOR 4 YEARS. IT WAS NOT THAT LONG AND WE COULD NOT BELIEVE HE REMEMBERED WITH SUCH A " FUN " AFTER PARTY AT HIS HOUSE THIS PAST SATURDAY BECAUSE HE CALLED US YESTERDAY.

 PHILLIES WIN BIG 11 - 1 AND SET ALL KINDS OF HOME RUN RECORDS. THE PHILLIES HAVE SECURED THE #2 SEED AND A FIRST ROUND BYE. THE #1 SEED IS MATHEMATICALLY REACHABLE BUT NOT LIKELY AT ALL.

 WE WATCH THE END OF THE PHILLIES GAME. MAN , THE HOMERUNS WERE FLYING.

 JASON KELCEY ON ESPN.....VERY FUN.

 WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF HIGH POTENTIAL. IT WAS VERY GOOD.

 WE WATCH A LITTLE NEWS AND I HEAD TO MY BEDROOM TO CHECK EMAILS.

 I WATCH JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE FOR THE 2ND NIGHT IN A ROW SINCE HE HAS COME BACK. THE SHOW WAS GOOD.

 I ALSO WATCHED THE DAILY NEWS AND FAMILY GUY BEFORE GOING TO BED AROUND 11:45PM.

 THERE IS AT LEAST 10 THINGS I FORGOT TO WRITE ABOUT. OFF TO BED AND SLEPT OKAY AT EST. I BELIEVE I USED THE BATHROOM 11 TIMES DURING THE NIGHT. I WONDER IF I JUST USED A MEN'S DIAPER ?

  THURSDAY       9 - 25 - 25

 THE FIRST SHOW OF THE 10 IN THE NEXT 11 DAYS IS IN THE BOOKS.....AND IT WAS FUN WITH A BIG CROWD.

 WHEELS TRAVELING AGAIN. I TAKE HER TO THE AIRPORT.

 I HEAD TO THE LIQUOR STORE AND THAN TO THE NAIL FOR 2 BEER DELIVERIES. I STOCK LIQUOR AND BEER FOR 11 HOURS. IT WAS EXHAUSTING. OK , MAYBE NOT 11 HOURS BUT IT SURE FELT LIKE IT.

 BACK HOME I CHILL , GET EMAILS DONE , AND MORE.

 THE RAIN COMES AND I HEAD BACK TO THE NAIL FOR THE OPEN JAM SHOW AND NEW BARTENDER.

 I HELP THE HOST WITH SOUND AND WE GET A GOOD CROWD WITH REALLY FUN MUSIC.

 THE NIGHT MOVES ALONG AND I HELP WITH COOKING FOOD ORDERS AND BARTENDING. THE NEW BARTENDER DOES REALLY GOOD. I LIKE HER.

  ELDEST STOPS IN WITH FRIENDS AND ONE FRIEND HAS AN TABLET TO WATCH THE SEATTLE / ARIZONA NFL GAME ON AMAZON PRIME. SEATTLE IS UP 14 POINTS WITH 8 MINUTES LEFT AND THE FRIEND TELLS ME , " I HAVE BIG MONEY ON THIS GAME. " I ASK WHAT IS THE SPREAD ? " HE TELLS ME , " 1 1/2 POINTS AND IT WAS A NO BRAINER TAKING SEATTLE BECAUSE ARIZONA SUCKS. " ARIZONA TIES THE GAME 21 - 21 WITH 19 SECONDS LEFT. SEATTLE KICKS WINNING FIELD GOAL AS TIME EXPIRES AND THE FRIEND COVERS HIS BET AND WINS. TO ME , THAT IS NOT QUITE A " NO BRAINER " BET.

 PHILLIES WIN 1 - 0 WITH A RAIN DELAY. THE MARLINS GOT SO LUCKY FOR THIS SHOULD OF BEEN A SWEEP. PHILLIES NEED TO WIN FINAL 3 GAMES AND BREWERS NEED TO LOSE THEIR FINAL 3 GAMES FOR PHILLIES TO GET THE #1.

 I HEAD HOME , MAKE A DRINK , WATCH JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE ( OK TO GOOD ) , AND GO TO BED. I WAS SWEATING SO I TURNED ON THE A/C........IT FELT SO GOOD.

   FRIDAY     9 - 26 - 25

  RUNN.......NIN' (SAY LIKE FORREST GUMP) - THE LAST 24 HOURS - 2 BEER DELIVERIES , LIQUOR PICKUP , FOOD RUN , AND A BANK STOP........PLUS STOPPING AT THE NAIL EVERY TIME TO STOCK.

 OK , HERE WE GO.

 WHEELS HAVING A GOOD TIME ON A MINI-VACATION.

 I START MY RUNNING EARLY BY GOING TO RESTAURANT DEPOT AND THAN THE NAIL. I STOCK EVERYTHING AND THAN STOP AT THE BANK FOR QUARTERS.

 AT HOME I UNLOAD FOOD AT OUR HOUSE. I SETTLE IN TO CHECK EMAILS AND NORMAL STUFF.

 I TRY TO NAP FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BECAUSE I HAVE DOUBLE SHIFTS IN THE NEXT 10 OF 11 NIGHTS NIGHT. START DAY AT 6AM AND FINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT......GOOD GOD.

 PICK UP MY YOUNGEST ON MY VTX AT THE TRAIN STATION. WE STOP AT A FRIENDS HOUSE TO PICK UP A DRESS AND TALK A BIT TO HER FRIEND WHO I LOVE. WE THAN TAKE A 20 MINUTE RIDE AROUND SOME BACK STREETS THAT RUN ALONG A REALLY NICE CREEK BED AREA.

 I MAKE CHEESE STEAKS FOR DINNER. I USED TO WORK AT A STEAK SANDWICH SHOP AND I SHOWED MY YOUNGEST HOW TO " SHRED " THE STEAKS WHEN COOKING THEM FOR SANDWICHES. THEY CAME OUT REALLY GOOD.

 NEXT MY YOUNGEST AND I START A NEW TV SERIES CALLED HOUSE OF GUINNESS. IT IS SOMEWHAT LIKE PEAKY BLINDERS. I THOUGHT THE FIRST EPISODE OF OK TO GOOD. IT IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY OF THE RISE OF GUINNESS BEER IN IRELAND.

 OFF TO THE NAIL WHERE I ASSUMED IT BE A SLOW NIGHT. THANKFULLY I WAS WRONG.

  HERE IS HOW IT WENT :

 - ONE BAND MEMBER HAD A BIRTHDAY SO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS STOPPED IN.

 - ONE BAND WAS ITS FIRST SHOW.

 - MY ELDEST AND ABOUT 15 FRIENDS STOPPED IN FOR HER BIRTHDAY.

 - A COUSIN AND HIS GIRLFRIEND STOPPED IN WHICH IS ALWAYS ALOT OF FUN. THEY WERE LITERALLY THE LAST ONES TO LEAVE.

 A GOOD SOLID CROWD ALL NIGHT AND THE BANDS DID A GREAT JOB WITH PERFORMING THEIR MUSIC.

 PHILLIES WIN AND BREWERS LOSE. THERE IS STILL A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THE PHILLIES GETTING THAT #1 SEED.....VERY SLIGHT. WE NEED TO WIN OUR LAST 2 GAMES AND BREWERS TO LOSE THEIR LAST 2.

 REDS HOLD THEIR FATE BECAUSE THE METS COMPLETELY COLLAPSED. THEY NOW HAVE THE FINAL WILD CARD AS OF TODAY WITH 2 GAMES TO GO. THEY HAVE THE SAME RECORD BUT THE TIE BREAKER GOES TO THE REDS.

 MY YOUNGEST AND I HANG OUT WITH EVERYONE AFTER THE SHOW. IT WAS REALLY FUN.

 LATE NIGHT WE HEAD HOME BUT FIRST STOP AT MCDONALDS FOR FRENCH FRIES. MAN THERE WERE A SHIT LOAD OF COLLEGE STUDENTS STANDING IN LINE IN AT THE DRIVE-THRU. THE REGAL DOORS WERE CLOSED.

 AT HOME WE SETTLE IN WITH THE PUP AND WATCH THE 2ND EPISODE OF HOUSE OF GUINNESS. AGAIN , OKAY TO GOOD AND SEEM TO BE PICKING UP SPEED.

  SATURDAY     9 - 27 - 25

 SHOW #3 OF 10 IN 11 DAYS......AND OVER 100+ FANS SHOWED UP.

 DRIVE MY YOUNGEST BACK TO CENTER CITY BUT FIRST STOPPING AT THE NAIL TO DO A FULL CLEAN.

 BACK HOME I SETTLE IN. I SLEPT HORRIBLE AGAIN SO I TRY TO TAKE A NAP. IT WAS NOT GOOD.

 TALK TO WHEELS AND SHE IS HAVING A GREAT TIME IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND BOSTON WITH A FRIEND.

 PHILLIES HAD THEIR CHANCES FOR THE #1 SEED. THE BREWERS LOST AGAIN WITH JUST ONE GAME LEFT BUT.....THE PHILLIES SHIT THE BED AGAINST A TWINS TEAM PLAYING FOR NOTHING AND 21 GAMES BELOW .500. THEY LOSE 5 - 0. SO NOW , THE LAST GAME FOR BOTH THE PHILLIES AND BREWERS MEANS NOTHING.........BLOW. MAN, THAT WOULD OF BEEN A FUN LAST GAME.

 PENN STATE ROARS BACK TO TIE THE GAME AT A WHITE OUT ATTENDING STADIUM. IT WAS SO COOL TO SEE. THEY SCORE FIRST IN OVERTIME BUT OREGON SCORES THE NEXT 2 POSSESSIONS. BUT , PENN STATE STOPS THEIR 2 POINT CONVERSATION ATTEMPT. OK , DOWN 6 , AT THE 25 YARD LINE , PENN STATE NEEDS TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN JUST LIKE THEY DID THE LAST POSSESSION , AND AN EXTRA POINT WOULD WIN THE GAME. THE FIRST PLAY THE QUARTERBACK THROWS AN INTERCEPTION AND THEY HAVE AN INSTANTANEOUSLY CRUSHING LOSS AT HOME IN FRONT OF 110,000 PEOPLE..........BLOW.  WORST......LOST.......EVER.......BLOW.

 OFF TO THE NAIL AND THE NIGHT STARTS SLOWLY. I WAS CONCERNED BUT THAN WE GET SLAMMED. ALL THE BARTENDERS START RUNNING. ALL MUSIC WAS GOOD AND FOR THE MOST PART ALL FANS WERE TOO.

 I POST A FUNNY PICTURE OF THE BARTENDERS WHO REFUSED TO GIVE A SERIOUS FACE.

 A BARTENDER TRICKS ME INTO A SHORT VIDEO. MAN I LOOKED STUPID AND SO FAT. DOES A CAMERA PUT 100 POUNDS ON YOU ?

 THE SHOW ENDED A LITTLE AFTER 11PM. WE CLOSED BY 12 MIDNIGHT.

 I HEAD HOME TIRED AND HUNGRY FOR I HAD NO DINNER. I MAKE A TURKEY SANDWICH AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF  PEACEMAKER. AGAIN , IT WAS VERY GOOD. I JUST WATCHED THE NEW SUPERMAN WHICH WAS BAD BUT THEIR WAS A CROSSOVER TO PEACEMAKER. BOTH RICK FLAG SENIOR AND LEX LUTHER MAKE APPEARANCES.

 I HEAD TO BED AND GET UP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR WATER AND BATHROOM. IT WAS HORRIBLE.

  SUNDAY     9 - 28 - 25

  FOR THE 2ND STRAIGHT WEEK OUR BELOVED EAGLES GIVE US A DAMN NEAR HEART ATTACK.

   THE 2ND HALF - I AM NOT SURE HOW YOU GET NO 1ST DOWNS , NO COMPLETIONS , THROW FOR MINUS YARDS , AND TAKE PENALTIES YET STILL HOLD ON TO WIN THE GAME. EAGLES WIN IN TAMPA BAY WHICH IS ALWAYS TOUGH FOR THEM.

 PHILLIES WIN ON A WALK-OFF FLY BALL TO END THE SEASON. PLAY-OFF START SATURDAY AGAINST THE DODGERS OR REDS.

 AM I HAPPY THE METS MADE A MONUMENTAL COLLAPSE TO NOT MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS ? YES , YES I AM. US PHILLY FANS KNOW PAIN BUT DAMN THE METS DROPPING OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS LITERALLY ON THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON BY LOSING IS ANOTHER LEVEL OF FAN PAIN.

  MY DAY- IT IS SHOW #4 FOR 10 SHOWS IN 11 DAYS.  THESE DOUBLE SHIFTS ARE SO HARD ON MY FAT BODY. YOU THINK I SLEEP UNBELIEVABLY GOOD AT NIGHT........I DO NOT.

  HEAD TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT. I GET EVERYTHING DONE AND EVEN MAKE A PIZZA TO TAKE HOME.

 I WATCHED NFL GAMES TODAY AND TRIED TO TAKE IT EASY. THERE IS ALWAYS THINGS TO DO THOUGH. ONE THING I DO IS WHEN WHEELS COMES HOME I DO ALL THE DISHES. IT TOOK ME THE ENTIRE HALFTIME OF THE EAGLES GAME. I FEEL SHE SHOULD NOT COME HOME FROM A VACATION AND SEE 50 DISHES IN THE SINK.

 BY 4:50PM I HEAD TO THE AIRPORT. I JUST NEVER GET OVER HOW TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP ON A FUCKING SUNDAY ON THE BLUE ROUTE. IT FUCKING AMAZES ME EVERY.......DAMN......TIME.

 I GET WHEELS AT THE AIRPORT AND WE TALK ON THE WAY HOME. SHE HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME.

 I DROP HER OFF AND HEAD RIGHT TO THE NAIL. THE BANDS AND FANS ARRIVE.

 TONIGHT'S MUSIC WAS EXCELLENT. I THOUGHT THE FIRST FOUR OF 5 ACTS WERE REALLY GOOD.

 A STEADY CROWD FOR A SUNDAY NIGHT WAS NICE TO SEE.

 I ENJOYED DOING THE DOOR , RUNNING SOUND , WATCHING THE ARTISTS ,  LISTENING TO THEIR MUSIC , AND WATCHING LATE NFL GAMES. I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS RUNNING ON ADRENALINE.

 I HAVE A LATE NIGHT NIGHTCAP AND ROLL HOME BY MIDNIGHT.

 I WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF PEACEMAKER. AGAIN.....VERY GOOD.

 OFF TO BED AND UP AT LEAST 3 TIMES DURING THE NIGHT. I ALSO TOSSED AND TURNED MOST OF THE NIGHT.

 MONDAY       9 - 29 - 25

 I GET ONE DAY OFF BETWEEN 10 SHOWS IN 11 DAYS.....THIS WAS THE ONE DAY.  I STARTED MY COMPUTER WORK AT 8AM AND WAS DONE AT 7:30PM. YEAH , WHAT A DAY OFF.

 IT IS REALLY A 24/7 BUSINESS AND I FEEL IT HAS TO BE. COMMUNICATION IS KEY WHEN WORKING WITH BANDS AND MUSICIANS.

 TODAY I BLOGGED , RETURNED EMAILS , SENT EMAILS , DID SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS , SENT GROUP EMAILS TO ALL BANDS FOR SHOWS THIS WEEK , SENT THANK YOU EMAILS TO BANDS THAT JUST PLAYED HERE , AND GROUP TEXTED THE BARTENDERS A SCHEDULE. IT WAS NON-STOP.

 I LOST A BARTENDER I JUST HIRED DUE TO HER OTHER BAR GAVE HER MORE HOURS. I AM OKAY WITH THIS BECAUSE SHE WAS JUST TOO FAR FROM US.

 OH , NOW MY RIGHT SHOULDER IS HURTING.

 I REALLY DREAM ABOUT BEING THINNER. THE JOY AND COMFORT OF EATING AND DRINKING PREVENTS THIS. MAN , IT IS SO DEPRESSING.

 " MONUMENTAL COLLAPSE " IS WHAT THEY ARE CALLING THE METS AFTER THEY SPENT THE MOST MONEY THIS SEASON ON PLAYERS. I'M OKAY WITH THIS.

 PHILLIES WILL START THEIR PLAYOFFS THIS SATURDAY AGAINST THE WINNER OF DODGERS / REDS. TO TRY TO STAY IN-TUNE THEY WILL PLAY AN INTER SQUAD GAME THIS WEEK.

 TAKE MY VTX TO THE NAIL AND SPEND ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS CLEANING  , STOCKING , FIXING , AND MORE.

 MY EMAILS DO THIS SOMETIMES. THEY JUST START TO RUN NON-STOP ON INCOMING EMAILS. IT STOPPED AROUND 4600. YEAH , THAT WAS FUN WAY TO START THE MORNING.

 BACK HOME I SETTLE IN. WHEELS MAKES A NICE DINNER AND WE CHILL.

 WE WATCH THE NEWS AND AN EPISODE OF TULSA KING WHICH WAS GOOD. WE ALSO FINISH PART 2 OF CHARLIE SHEEN DOCUMENTARY. THIS WAS GOOD TOO.  GOOD GOD HE HAD IT ALL AND THREW IT TO SHIT.

 I HEAD TO MY BEDROOM TO WATCH THE NEWS , HOGAN'S HEROES , NFL FOOTBALL , AND THE DAILY SHOW ( EXCELLENT COMEDIC SHOW THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING , TELLS THE TRUTH , AND FACT CHECKS ON POLITICS AND POLITICIANS )

  ABOUT TO GO TO BED AFTER MIDNIGHT AND I SEE MY DOOR OPEN. MY ELDEST WAS LOOKING FOR THE PUP. SHE THAN HAD A FIRE-PIT WITH FRIENDS AND LEFT AROUND 2AM TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE.

  TUESDAY      9 - 30 - 25

  I WAS ASKED , " WHEN WILL YOU BE BRINGING SEXY BACK ? " I REPLIED , " SEE THAT PICTURE ON THE WALL ? ( IT WAS ME WHEN I WAS CAPTAIN OF MY COLLEGE SOCCER TEAM IN 1985 ) , " SEXY " HAS NOT BEEN HERE SINCE THE 80'S ".

 THE NAIL JUST ALWAYS SURPRISES ME - A SHOW ON A TUESDAY NIGHT BRINGS PEOPLE AND MUSICIANS TOGETHER. IT IS A REMARKABLE THING TO WITNESS. IT IS SO COOL TO SEE OTHER MUSICIANS SUPPORTING BANDS PLAYING TONIGHT. TWO OF MY TOP 10 WERE HERE TONIGHT.......LEAD SINGER M. OF FLOATING AND LEAD SINGER  FATADAY.

 SO , LET ME BACK UP A BIT TO START MY DAY.

 UP EARLY WITH NO SLEEP AGAIN AND NOW MY NEW PAIN IS MY RIGHT SHOULDER. I USED AND APPLIED MY LEFTOVER MEDS OF ASPERCREME WHEN MY BACK HURT FOR 6 MONTHS.

 I NEED TO DO SOME YARD WORK. I MOWED THE EDGES OF THE WHOLE PROPERTY WITH MY PUSH MOWER AND THAN SPENT A SOLID 60 MINUTES USING A WEED WHACKER EVERYWHERE. I ACTUALLY WHACKED IT SO MUCH MY 3 BATTERY PACKS RAN OUT OF CHARGE. THIS RARELY HAPPENS BECAUSE USUALLY I AM DONE WHACKING IN 15 SECONDS.

 I ALSO REPLACED A PATIO UMBRELLA AND VACUUMED OUT A CAR.

 TAKE MY VTX FOR A RIDE TO THE NAIL. I SPEND ABOUT 90 MINUTES PREPPING FOR THE NIGHT.

 BACK HOME I FINISH WEED WHACKING BECAUSE THE CHARGE WAS BACK FOR MY WEED WHACKER.

 SHOWER , SHAVE , AND GET READY TO HEAD TO THE NAIL FOR #5 SHOW IN 10 OF 11 DAYS. BUT FIRST WHEELS MAKES EXCELLENT BURGERS. I SWEAR I THINK I COULD HAVE THEM EVERY DAY.

 RIDE MY VTX BACK TO THE NAIL AGAIN. DID YOU NOW I HAVE STICKERS OF THE PHILLIES AND EAGLES  ON MY BIKE ?  I ACTUALLY POSTED PICTURES OF IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

 THE BANDS ARRIVE AND THEIR FANS. AGAIN , ANOTHER REALLY GOOD NIGHT OF MUSIC. I AM JUST AMAZED AND JEALOUS ON HOW GOOD THEY ARE. I ALWAYS WISHED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT.

 THE NIGHT MOVED ALONG AND EVERYONE WAS SUPER COOL. I TALKED TO ALOT OF MUSICIANS AND EVEN SAT DOWN AND HAD A NIGHTCAP ( OR 2 ) WITH SOME. I JUST WISH I WAS YOUNG , THIN , AND HAD MY HAIR BACK AGAIN. MAN , I MISS THOSE YEARS. EVERYONE IS SO YOUNG AND ADORABLE IT JUST MAKES ME ENVIOUS OF MY OLD DAYS. THEY ARE ALL SUCH REALLY GOOD PEOPLE.

 I LOST ANOTHER BARTENDER WHICH I KNEW WAS COMING. BUT TONIGHT I GOT A RESUME AND ANOTHER GIRL INQUIRED. TALK ABOUT GOOD TIMING. I SAT AND TALKED TO ONE VERY POLITE GIRL LATER IN THE NIGHT. IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL GIVE HER A SHOT. WE BE HELPING EACH OTHER OUT.

 THE NIGHT ENDS WITH HUGS AND GOODBYES. I WONDER IF OTHER VENUE OWNERS GET HUGS FROM PERFORMERS. I LIKE TO THINK THEY DON'T BUT I KNOW THEY DO. IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR BANDS AND MUSICIANS THAT PLAY HERE.

 I TAKE A SLOW AND NICE RIDE ON MY VTX BACK HOME. I ENJOYED THIS NIGHT SO MUCH.

 WATCHED PLAYOFF BASEBALL ALL NIGHT. THE FIRST ROUND HAS STARTED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE HOME TEAMS ONLY WON 2 OF 4 GAMES.

 MOST OF THE NATION WAS BUMMING AS THE INDIANA FEVER CAME BACK AGAIN TO TIE THE GAME WITH NO TIME LEFT FORCING OVERTIME. UNFORTUNATELY , THE LYNX WENT ON TO WIN AND HEAD TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND. IT WAS A DAMN SHAME.

 * THAT IS THE MOST I EVER WROTE ABOUT THE WNBA **

 A LATE NIGHT SNACK OR TWO AND I WATCH JIMMY KIMMEL AND STEPHEN COLBERT DO A DUAL CROSSOVER SHOW TOGETHER. IT WAS KINDA COOL.

 MOST OF TRUMP'S DELUSIONAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS , SPEAKING , AND ACTIONS ARE ALWAYS HEAD SHAKING BUT TODAY HE DID PUT INTO MOTION MORE FUNDING TOWARDS CHILD CANCER AND LOWERING MEDICAL BILLS BY 1,000%. YEP , HE SAID LOWERING MEDS BY 1,000%.  I KNOW YOU CAN ONLY REDUCE PRICES BY A 100% BUT I'LL ROLL WITH IT.

  WEDNESDAY      10 - 1 - 25

 AND OCTOBER ROLLS IN. TIME JUST GOES BY TOO FAST.

 I SPEND SOME TIME CREATING NAIL CALENDARS AND UPDATING THE WEBSITE CALENDAR.

 TAKE A RIDE TO THE NAIL WITH THE PUP. BEFORE WORKING I VIDEO AND CHASE THE PUP AROUND THE MAIN ROOM. SHE IS JUST TOO FUNNY. I SENT IT TO FAMILY.

 AFTER NORMAL PREPPING FOR THE NIGHT I HAD TO FIX AN EXIT DOOR. I HAVE TO SAY , AND THIS IS VERY RARE , I GOT SO LUCKY FINDING A TURN STYLE SCREW TO FIT AND HOLD A DOOR CLOSER BAR IN PLACE.

 I GOT TIRED AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO. I FEEL I AM RUNNING OUT OF STEAM LATELY WITH ME GETTING OLDER EACH DAY AND FATTER.

 BACK HOME I DO SOME COMPUTER AND BLOGGING. I GOT SO DAMN TIRED I HAD TO LAY DOWN. OH , AND MY RIGHT SHOULD HURTING IS NOT HELPING.

 SPEAKING OF BLOGGING , TWO NIGHTS AGO MORE MUSIC FANS CAME UP TO ME ABOUT READING MY WEBSITE. IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD AND NERVOUS AT THE SAME TIME.

 THIS PAST WEEKEND A BAND ASKED ME TO POST " THIS IS WHY " FOR THEIR BAND. I JUST COULDN'T DO IT.

 IT WILL BE THE PHILLIES VS DODGERS IN A BEST OF 5 GAME SERIES. THE FIRST GAME WILL BE IN PHILADELPHIA THIS SATURDAY AT 6 OR 6:30PM.

 GET THIS - PHILLIES PLAY AN INTER-SQUAD GAME WHERE OVER 32,000 FANS SHOW UP. CLEVELAND DID NOT HAVE THAT MANY FANS IN THEIR FIRST ROUND PLAYOFF GAME.

 DINNER WITH WHEELS AND A FACETIME BY OUR YOUNGEST WHICH IS ALWAYS A NICE SURPRISE.

 RIDE MY VTX TO THE NAIL AND AGAIN SURPRISED ON FANS COMING OUT FOR A MIDWEEK SHOW. I THOUGHT OUR NEW BARTENDER DID GREAT AGAIN ON HER 3RD SHIFT. THE ONLY THING WE HAD TO WORK OUT WAS SWITCHING FROM DOOR DUTIES TO COOKING FOOD ORDERS. IT WORKED OUT PRETTY DAMN GOOD.

 I LIKED BOTH BANDS TONIGHT. I DO RECOMMEND THE TRAVELING BAND NOT TO LEAVE RIGHT AWAY AFTER THEIR SET ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LOCAL BAND SHARED THEIR DOOR COVER. I MEAN IT IS ONLY ANOTHER 30 OR 40 MINUTES TO HANG OUT.

 HAD A NIGHTCAP WITH THE BARTENDER AND HER FRIEND.

 RIDE HOME TIRED AND KINDA MELANCHOLY. I HANG OUT WITH THE PUP AND WATCH SOME TV.

 HEAD TO BED AROUND 12:30AM. I TOSSED AND TURNED ALL NIGHT WITH RIGHT SHOULDER PAIN AND USED THE BATHROOM 5 TIMES. I TRULY DO NOT KNOW HOW I AM DOING THESE DOUBLE SHIFT DAY AND NIGHTS.

  THURSDAY     10 - 2 - 25

 THE NIGHTS OF MUSIC AT THE NAIL CONTINUE. AGAIN , I AM SURPRISED ON HOW MANY FANS SHOW UP.

 BUT , LET'S START MY DAY WITH BAD SLEEP AGAIN AND A HURTING RIGHT SHOULDER. IT JUST SUCKS IN MY YOUNGER DAYS I NEVER GOT SICK , HURT , INJURED , OR FELT BAD. I COULD EAT LIKE A HORSE AND TRULY FELT IF I GOT HIT BY A CAR I WALK AWAY WITH NO INJURIES. I HAD A BODY LIKE A GOD AND HAIR LIKE RAPUNZEL. NOW...........I SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED ON HAIR CLUB FOR MEN AND HOW FAT GUYS LIVE WITHIN 3 FEET OF A REFRIGERATOR.

 UP EARLY EMAILING , UPDATING OUR NAIL CALENDARS , AND MORE.

 OH , I AM NOT MISSING PAYING FOR CALENDARS. IT IS A GREAT ASSET TO CONSTANTLY UPDATE OUR CALENDARS DAY TO DAY...........A VERY NICE SMALL LUXURY.

 RIDE MY VTX TO THE NAIL. I SPEND ABOUT 2 HOURS CLEANING , FIXING , AND ORGANIZING THE P.A. SYSTEM (MAN , IT NEEDED IT WITH SO MANY SHOWS IN A ROW)

 PHILLIES VS DODGERS SATURDAY AT 6:38PM. I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE SERIES. US FANS JUST HOPE THE PHILLIES JUST PLAY TO THEIR POTENTIAL. I AM NOT ASKING ALL PLAYERS BAT .400 BUT....THEIR POTENTIAL. YOU KNOW , JUST DON'T SUCK ASS.

 THE 8 REMAINING MBL TEAMS IS SET. I WAS GLAD THE CUBS WON. I WAS SO-SO THE YANKEES BEAT THE RED SOX.

 RAMS SHIT THE BED LAST NIGHT AND LOSE IN OVERTIME TO THE 49ERS. I AM SO OKAY WITH THAT. DOWN BY 3 POINTS AND 4TH AN DONE THEY DECIDE TO GO FOR THE GAME ON THE 49ERS 11 YARD LINE. THEY DID NOT GET THE FIRST DOWN AND LOSE.

 WATCHED " KIDS INTERVIEW PLAYERS ". IT WAS ALL EAGLE PLAYERS WHICH WAS CUTE AND PRETTY FUNNY. OH , THE KIDS ARE THE PLAYERS DAUGHTERS AND HAVE OVER 80K VIEWS.

 BACK HOME I SETTLE IN. AGAIN I TRY TO NAP. I GOT TIRED AND MY PAIN INCREASED. I AM RUNNING SHORT ON ENERGY WITH SO MANY SHOWS. I DO KNOW THIS IS A GOOD THING......VERY GOOD.

 A NICE PASTA DINNER WITH WHEELS AND I RIDE MY VTX BACK TO THE NAIL.

 AGAIN , I AM SURPRISED ON TURN OUT TONIGHT. 3 ACTS , NO BANDS BUT A NICE CROWD.

 AFTER THEY PLAYED I LET A LOCAL / REGULAR PATRON PERFORM. HE ACTUALLY WASN'T BAD.

 I ALSO PLAYED A PATRON IN POOL WHO ALWAYS ASKS ME. HE IS AN EXCELLENT PLAYER AND CONSIDERED A " 7 " IN A.P.A. POOL LEAGUE WHICH IS THE HIGHEST RANKING. IN 2 GAMES , I WON THE FIRST AND SHOULD OF WON THE 2ND. 

 RIDE HOME KINDA EARLY AT 11PM. I WATCHED THE NEWS , JIMMY KIMMEL , AND THE DAILY SHOW. MY GOD THE DAILY SHOW HAS ENDLESS MATERIAL.

 BY MIDNIGHT I GO TO BED AND DO NOT CHECK MY COMPUTER. I KNEW IF I DID I STAY UP ANOTHER 2 HOURS.

 UP SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE NIGHT AND AT 4AM I SEE OUR ELDEST OUTSIDE TALKING TO FRIENDS IN OUR DRIVEWAY.

  FRIDAY     10 - 3 - 25

 JUST WHEN YOU THINK THE NAIL DOESN'T AMAZE ME OF PEOPLE.....IT STRIKES AGAIN IN A BIG BIG " WHAT THE FUCK ? " WAY. IT WILL BE THE LAST STORY AND I'LL TRY TO REMEMBER AS MUCH AS I CAN. IT DID KEEP ME UP FOR 2 HOURS TONIGHT.

 START THE DAY NORMAL BUT DECIDE TO REMOVE 5 WINDOW A/C'S. IT WAS FUNNY AS ONE SPIDER HAD A HOME IN WHEELS BEDROOM WINDOW. WHEN I REMOVED THE A/C THE SPIDER DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND WENT UNDER HER BED. SHE NOW HAS A NEW ROOM MATE SHARING HER BEDROOM. WHEELS ASKS ME , " HOW BIG WAS IT ? " I SAID , " WIDTH WISE , ABOUT A BASKETBALL. "

 RIDE MY VTX TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT AND MEET OUR A.T.M. TECH. I NOTICED THE TOP OF THE MACHINE SLID RIGHT OUT. HE FIXED THE LOCK.

 BACK HOME WE CHILL. WHEELS GOES SHOPPING AND PICKS UP OUR YOUNGEST. ALL OF US TALK FOR ABOUT 90 MINUTES AND END UP GOING TO FELINI'S CAFE FOR DINNER. THEY FORCED ME. IT WAS GOOD AGAIN.

 OH , I WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF PEACEMAKER.......EXCELLENT.

 BACK HOME I IMMEDIATELY DRIVE BACK TO THE NAIL. THE BANDS AND FANS BEGIN TO ARRIVE. WELL , EXCEPT FOR THE 2ND BAND WHO WAS A NO SHOW. LATER THEY TOLD ME THEIR DRUMMER QUIT. I DID NOT CARE AT ALL FOR THE NO-SHOW SINCE ZERO PEOPLE SHOWED UP FOR THEM.

 THE LAST 2 BANDS WAS THEIR FIRST SHOW SO THIS MEANS WE GET SLAMMED. I MEAN DROVES OF PEOPLE WERE FLOCKING IN AND IT WAS FUN TO SEE. I AM HAVING A GREAT NIGHT , THE BARTENDERS ARE RUNNING , I'M IN A GOOD MOOD , AND THE MAJOR ICING ON THE CAKE......A PROFESSIONAL SOUNDMAN IN ONE  OF THE BANDS OFFERED TO DO SOUND FOR ALL ACTS TONIGHT. THIS WAS AWESOME.

 EVERYONE WAS SUPER COOL AND I PLAYED/JOKED  WITH A TON OF PATRONS. IT WAS A REALLY GOOD FUN YOUNG CROWD.

 AT THE END OF THE NIGHT I TALK TO 2 REALLY FUNNY BIG GUYS. THEY HAVE SOME GOOD STORIES.

 MY YOUNGEST AND I ROLL HOME BUT FIRST STOP FOR FUEL AT A SUNOCO. IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE ACROSS THE STREET FROM MCDONALDS.

 AT HOME WE WATCH ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF HOUSE OF GUINNESS. IT WAS OKAY TO GOOD.

 WE HEAD TO BED AND I RE-WAKE UP AROUND 2AM TO 4AM. I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP THINKING ABOUT WHAT JUST FUCKING HAPPENED AT THE NAIL TONIGHT.  I CHECK EMAILS AND PLAYED A GAME OF POKER.....WHICH I WON.

  I TOOK SOME ADVIL , APPLIED SOME ASPERCREME TO MY SHOULDER , AND  GOT BACK IN BED WITH THE PUP. I DID RE-SLEEP TO 9AM......THANK GOD.

 OK , I ALWAYS WRITE HERE A PERSON'S INITIALS. I NEVER GIVE FULL NAMES TO PROTECT THEM AND GIVE PRIVACY.

  TODAY'S BLOG.....I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO DO INITIALS BECAUSE THE THINGS THIS GUY DID OVER THE NIGHT WAS SO BAT SHIT CRAZY. I'LL JUST SAY I HAVE KNOWN HIM A LONG TIME.

  I decided not to write about it and removed all content.

  SATURDAY       11 - 4 - 25

 THE LAST SHOW OF A 10 DAY RUN. SHOULDER HURTS AND YOU MAY NOT SEE ME FOR 2 WEEKS.

 I TALK TO SOME FAMILY AND A FRIEND ABOUT THE GUY 2 NIGHTS AGO WHO WAS A TRAIN WRECK. MAN , DRINKING AND GAMBLING. I JUST DO NOT EVER GET HOW IT CAN TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE.

 THE BIG NEWS IN MY LITTLE LIFE IS THE PHILLIES STARTING THEIR FIRST PLAY-OFF GAME. THEY PICKED UP RIGHT WHERE THEY WERE LEFT OFF LAST YEAR..........BLOW. A CRUSHING HEARTBREAKING LOSS AGAIN AS THE PHILLIES TOOK A 3 - 0 LEAD AND THAN IT JUST GOT SHIT ON. PHILLIES LOSE 5 - 3 IN GAME ONE OF 5. DODGERS WILL WIN THIS SERIES AND PHILLIES FANS GET THEIR HEARTS BROKEN AAAAAAAGAIN.

 IT REALLY RUINS MY DAY WHEN THE PHILLIES LOSE. WE HAD SO MANY FANS CHEERING ON THE GAME AT THE NAIL TOO.......DAMN IT !!!!

 WHEELS MOM COMES OVER AND SHE NEEDED HELP WITH SOME BANKING STUFF.

 OK , NEXT UP IS HEADING TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT. I SPEND ABOUT 90 MINUTES.

 BACK HOME I CHILL WITH THE PUP , OUR YOUNGEST , AND WHEELS.

 PENN STATE LOSES TO AN 0 - 4 UCLA TEAM. THEY HAD A CHANCE TO TIE THE GAME TO FORCE OVERTIME BUT SHIT THE BED. ANOTHER PA. TEAM LOSING.....BLOW.

 I CAN NOT SHAKE THIS RIGHT SHOULDER PAIN.

 BY THE WAY , ASPERCREME DOES DICK.

 LEFTOVER FELINI'S FOR DINNER AND TOMATO PIE THAT HAD WRITTEN ON IT (IN PARMESAN CHEESE) " RED OCTOBER ". PHILLIES BLOW.

 I HEAD BACK TO THE NAIL WHERE MUSIC AND FANS WERE AGAIN SUPER COOL.

 WE TRAINED A NEW BARTENDER. WE LIKE HER.

 THE NIGHT MOVED ALONG WITH REALLY GOOD MUSIC.

 DONE AROUND 11:30PM WE START OUR CLOSE.

 BACK HOME WE SETTLE IN. FOR SOME REASON THE LAST 4 OR SO NIGHTS I HAVE HAD NO NIGHTCAPS.

 WE WATCHED AN EPISODE OF HOUSE OF GUINNESS WHICH WAS GOOD. WE ALSO FOUND OUT IT IS THE SAME WRITERS OF PEAKY F'N BLINDERS......MAKES SENSE.

 I HEAD TO BED AND THE PUP TOTALLY SNUGGLES WITH ME. I TOOK ADVIL AND BEFORE BED USED A HAND HELD MASSAGER ON MY SHOULDER. BOTH DID NOTHING.

     SUNDAY      10 - 5 - 25

 WELP , THE PHILLY FAN'S PAIN DOUBLED AS OUR BIRDS ABSOLUTELY SHIT THE BED WITH A F'N 17 - 3 LEAD GOING INTO THE 4TH QUARTER. A CRUSHING LOSS AGAIN. IT ACTUALLY KEPT ME UP SEVERAL HOURS TONIGHT.....LIKE MY SLEEPING HABITS NEEDED THAT.

 HEADING EAST ......YEP , OUT OF HERE.

 FIRST I START MY MORNING BY DOING NORMAL STUFF AND THAN VACUUMING OUT ANOTHER CAR AND FILLING A TIRE WITH AIR.

 WHEELS AND I LOAD UP WITH OUR YOUNGEST AND THE PUP. WE STOP AT THE NAIL TO PREP AND THAN HEAD TO SOUTH PHILLY. WE DROP OFF OUR YOUNGEST AND BE-LINE STRAIGHT EAST.

  WE ARRIVE AND WHEELS TEXTS FRIENDS. THEY ALL RESPOND. WE STOP AT ANTEY'S GRUB AND FOR THE FIRST TIME I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR CHEESE STEAK AND CHICKEN CUTLET. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

 WE WATCH THE FIRST HALF OF THE EAGLES AND IT IS GOOD. OUR TEAM IS PLAYING SOLID. WE ALSO HAVE MERRILL REESE ON WHICH IS A MUST IN MY EYES.......WELL EARS.

 THE 2ND HALF WHEELS MEETS FRIENDS AT A LOCAL PUB WHILE I STAY HOME. I NEVER MOVED A MUSCLE CHEERING FOR OUR TEAM. IT WAS CRUSHING 2ND HALF AGAIN. IT WAS ALLLLLL FUCKING BRONCOS AND THE REFEREES DID NOT HELP. A BRUTAL LOSS AGAIN BY A PHILLY TEAM.

 I HEAD TO THE BEACH AND TAKE THE PUP. I AM REALLY SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON THE BEACH. I WALKED WITH THE PUP 3 BLOCKS DOWN TO GET AWAY FROM EVERYONE.

 I BATHE THE PUP'S PAWS IN THE OCEAN SALT WATER AGAIN. I THAN SIT AND CHILL WITH HER. SHE WAS HILARIOUS DIGGING AND WATCHING PEOPLE.

 WHEELS JOINS ME ON THE BEACH AROUND 6PM. SHE SAID SHE HAD A GOOD TIME.

 WE SETTLE IN AND SHE MAKES SOME CHICKEN AND I MAKE A VERY GOOD CHEESE STEAK. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED WITH ATNEY'S GRUB I MADE ONE MYSELF.

 WE TALK TO OUR ELDEST TO CHECK IN.

 WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. IT WAS VERY GOOD. WE ALSO WATCH AN EPISODE OF HIGH POTENTIAL. IT WAS GOOD.

 WHEELS HEADS TO BED AND I WATCH MORE FOOTBALL , NEWS , AND PLAY A GAME OF POKER.

 FUNNY AND CUTE. WHEELS WALKS THE PUP AROUND 8:30PM. THE PUP GOES STRAIGHT TO MY BED AND CRASHES.

 I HEAD TO BED AND WATCH ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF TV AND HEAD TO BED. I COULD NOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THE PHILLIES AND EAGLES LOSSES. I LITERALLY WAS UP UNTIL 6......F'N.....AM. I TOOK SOME ADVIL AND RUBBED SOME ASPERCREME ON MY SHOULDER AND ASS.

   I DID NOT NEED THE CREAM ON MY ASS BUT IT FELT WARM AND GAVE THE FEELING SOMEONE WAS SPOONING ME.

  MONDAY     10 - 6 - 25

 SOME SPORTS DEFINITIONS :

 " CRUSHING HEARTBREAKING DEVASTATING KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT PAIN " = BEING A PHILADELPHIA SPORTS FAN

 " SUCKING US IN " = GIVING THE ILLUSION THAT A PHILADELPHIA SPORTS TEAM WILL MAKE UP A DEFICIT IN THE LAST INNING OR MINUTE TO WIN A GAME.

 " WHY OTHER " = WHEN A TEAM COMES BACK YOU DO NOT KNOW AND WINS IN THE FINAL SECONDS. THIS WOULD COMPLETELY OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOUR HOME TEAM WOULD DO.

  EXAMPLE : JACKSONVILLE WINNING OVER KANSAS CITY IN THE LAST SECONDS TONIGHT AT HOME. FANS WETN CRAZY WILD WITH GLEE.

 THE PHILLIES AND EAGLES COMPLETED THE TRIFECTA BY LOSING 3 GAMES IN 3 DAYS.

 PHILLIES LOSE TO THE DODGERS AND THE DODGERS WILL MOVE ON TO PLAY THE BREWERS IN THE NEXT PLAY-OFF ROUND. THOUGH TECHNICALLY THE SERIES IS NOT OVER MATHEMATICALLY......IT REALLY IS. THE PHILLIES WILL FLY AN AIRPLANE TO LOS ANGELOS BUT NO PLAYERS WILL BE ON IT.

 I SLEPT HORRIBLY. I JUST KEPT THINKING HOW THE PHILLIES LOST. JUST 2 NIGHTS AGO I DIDN'T SLEEP BECAUSE OF AN EAGLES LOSS.

  I FINALLY GET TO SLEEP AROUND 6AM. I START MY DAY AROUND 10AM.

 GO TO A DINER I HAVE NOT BEEN TO  IN 15 YEARS. WHY ? MOST DINERS WERE CLOSED AND THIS WAS ( 15 YEARS AGO ) THE ONE I HAD A HUGE ANT IN MY EGG OMELETTE. THIS MEAL WAS OKAY AT BEST.

 BUCKET LIST ALERT :

 A 90% SUCCESS RATE IS LAUGHABLE BECAUSE I WAS ON THE BOAT. I WENT ON A WHALE WATCHING TOUR. WE SAW ALOT OF DOLPHINS WHICH IS ALWAYS FUN. THE NARRATOR ON THE BOAT CALLED IT A " SUPER POD ". BY NO MEANS WAS IT A SUPER POD BUT MANY SMALL GROUPS OF 4 TO 8 SPREAD OUT OVER A 1/4 MILE OR SO. TO ME , A SUPER POD IS 1,000'S IN ONE GROUP.

 WHALES - NEVER SAW ONE. I GUESS THAT 90% SUCCESS RATE WILL BE GOING DOWN A BIT. I KNEW HAVING ME ON THE BOAT WE WOULD NOT SEE A WHALE.

 OVERALL EXPERIENCE IS VERY GOOD FROM SHIP TO CREW TO VERY GOOD NARRATOR TO ACCOMMODATIONS TO PERFECT WEATHER. THE ONLY THING THAT TOTALLY SUCKED WAS............NOT SEEING A WHALE. IT REALLY SHOULD SAY " DOLPHIN AND POSSIBLE WHALE WATCHING TOUR ". I DID NOT GET TO CHECK-OFF MY BUCKET LIST.

  I DRIVE TO WALMART TO PICK UP SOME THINGS FOR WHEELS.

 AT HOME I HEAD TO THE BEACH. WHEELS WAS NOT FEELING WELL BUT JOINED ME LATER FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. AGAIN , I WALK THE PUP IN THE OCEAN WATER.

 WE HAVE DINNER OF CHECKING AND MORE WHILE WATCHING THE PHILLIES. IT WAS ANOTHER CRUSHING " SUCKING US IN " LOSS.

 A 2006 MOVIE CALLED IDIOCRACY GOT GOOD REVIEWS. OH MY GOD.......IT AS BAD. I MEAN I TRIED TO ROLL WITH THE SILLINESS AND HUMOR BUT IT WAS DOWNRIGHT STUPID.........LITERALLY. I GIVE IT UP FOR MAYA RUDOLPH FOR LOOKING PRETTY DAMN GOOD ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO.

 THE WEATHER IS BEAUTIFUL HERE. I WALK THE PUP ON THE NIGHT BEACH.......PRETTY COOL.

 OFF TO BED AND SLEPT OKAY AT BEST. THE PUP JOINED ME LATER.

  MONDAY     10 - 7 - 25

 BEAUTIFUL DAY.....SO I WORKED OUTSIDE FOR ABOUT 3 1/2 HOURS.

 WEEDED , LEAF BLEW , WEED WHACKED , PICKED UP TRASH , AND PAINTED 2 COFFEE TABLES.

 WENT TO THE BEACH WITH THE PUP AND WALKED HER IN THE SHALLOWS OF THE OCEAN WATER. TALKED TO SOME NICE PEOPLE AND ONE GUY LOVED HER SO MUCH HE TOOK PICTURES OF THE PUP.

 GOT SOME THINGS DONE ALONG WITH EMAILS OF COURSE.

 TALKED TO ELDEST - TOLD ME THE BOYFRIEND'S GRANDMOM GOT PISSED AT HER FOR SHOWERING AT HER HOUSE. APPARENTLY , THERE WAS LEAK BELOW. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU BLAME IT ON YOUR GUEST ? GET YOUR FUCKING SHOWER DRAIN FIXED !!

 TAKE A VERY MUCH NEEDED SHOWER AND SHAVE.

 HEAD TO DINNER AND WE PICK UP A FRIEND OF MY MOM'S. I HAVE KNOWN HER MY WHOLE LIFE. ON OCCASION WHEN HERE WE CONTACT HER. WE DINE AT POPPI'S PIZZA AND RESTAURANT. IT WAS VERY GOOD AND BYOB. 

 AT FIRST WE TRIED KIMBERLY'S RESTAURANT BUT NO ONE WAS AT FRONT AREA.  THERE WERE 3 PEOPLE TOTAL THERE SO I ASSUMED THE OWNER WAS IN THE BACK COOKING TOO.  WE THAN TRIED PASTA PESTO BUT THEY WERE CLOSED.

 A REALLY GOOD DINNER AND CONVERSATION. WE DRIVE OUR FRIEND BACK TO HER HOME AND HAVE A NIGHTCAP. WE PLAY WITH HER NEW CAT WHO WAS VERY FRIENDLY. OH , WE ALSO DROVE TO THE BEACH TO SEE THE SUPER MOON. IT WAS PRETTY COOL.

 TALK TO MY COUSIN. I ALWAYS NEED TO LEAVE THE ROOM , HOUSE , AND NEIGHBORHOOD DUE TO OUR COMEDIC CONVERSATIONS THAT IS SO NOT SUITABLE FOR KIDS , WOMEN , OR ANYONE REALLY.

 BACK HOME WE FIND OUT WE DO NOT HAVE PARAMOUNT+ ANYMORE.......DAMN.

 WE WATCH KARATE KID LEGENDS BECAUSE I AM A FAN OF THE ORIGINAL MOVIE AND THE TV SERIES. IT WAS OKAY AT BEST. I AM STRETCHING THE WORD " OKAY ".

 WHEELS HEADS TO BED AND I STAY UP ALITTLE LONGER TO WATCH NEWS , DAILY NEWS , AND A GAME OF POKER.

 OFF TO BED WITH THE PUP. WHAT SUCKS IS RAIN IS COMING BIG TIME. I AM SO GLAD I GOT ALL THAT OUTSIDE WORK DONE TODAY.

   WEDNESDAY      10 - 8 - 25

 WELP , NOT ONE PHILLIES FAN WANTED NOLA TO START AND WE WERE ALL WRONG.  PHILLIES WIN BIG TO KEEP PLAY-OFF HOPES ALIVE !!

 FANS LIKE ME GET SO IMMERSED INTO THE TEAM WE ARE CHEERING FOR. IT IS IN OUR NATURE , BLOOD , DNA , TO JUST GET SO INVOLVED IT HURTS OUR SOUL IF WE LOSE AND WARMS OUR HEARTS IF THEY WIN. YEP , THAT IS A FAN'S LIFE.  THE PHILLIES KEPT THE CHEERING ALIVE BY WINNING TONIGHT 8 - 2.

 LOOKING FOR BANDS FOR HALLOWEEN AND DID A SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS FOR BANDS PLAYING THURSDAY.

 DID SOME LITTLE ODD JOBS LIKE CHECKING THE A/C FILTER , CLEANING SOME THINGS , FIXING A CABINET SHELF ( WHICH A GLASS FELL AND BROKE ) , AND A COUPLE OF OTHER LITTLE THINGS I FORGOT.

 THE RAIN CAME BUT BY LATE AFTERNOON THE SUN WAS OUT. WE WALKED THE BEACH WITH THE PUP SEVERAL TIMES. AGAIN , HAD HER PAWS IN THE OCEAN.

 TALKED TO YOUNGEST AND ELDEST TO CHECK IN.

 A FAMILY MEMBER CANCELLED HIS PARAMOUNT+ ACCOUNT. ALL OF US SHARE ABOUT 6 STREAMING APPS. I SHARE WITH SEVERAL FRIENDS TOO. ALL THE APPS IS ME GIVING MY ACCOUNTS TO FRIENDS. ANYWAY , A FAMILY MEMBER STEPPED UP TO SHARE HIS PARAMOUNT+ ACCOUNT. THEY SAY NEVER SHARE A PASSWORD. THEY ARE GUARANTEED I WILL NOT SHARE THIS ONE.

 WE HAVE LEFTOVERS FOR DINNER AND WATCH THE NEWS.

 WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF HIGH POTENTIAL. IT WAS GOOD. WE ALSO WATCHED AN EPISODE OF TULSA KING. THIS WAS ALSO GOOD.

 AT 9:08PM WE WATCH OUR PHILLIES. MAN , THEY HAD MULTIPLE CHANCES TO BREAK THE GAME OPEN BUT COULD NOT GET TIMELY HITS WITH PLAYERS ON BASE. I KEPT THINKING , " WE CAN NOT LET THE DODGERS STICK AROUND. THEY LEAD THE LEAGUE IN COME-BACK WINS. "

 IT WAS SO REWARDING AND FINALLY FUN TO SEE THE BATS COME ALIVE WITH MONSTER HOME RUNS BY SCHWARBER AND OTHER PHILLIES PLAYERS JUST MOVING THE LINE WITH KEY HITS. OH MY GOD IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND REWARDING TO SEE.

 OH , AGAIN WE LISTEN TO OUR ANNOUNCERS WHICH IS WAY WAY BETTER THAN THE NATIONAL ANNOUNCERS.

 TOMORROW OUR BEST PITCHER WILL GET THE BALL. UNFORTUNATELY , I DON'T THINK HE HAS WON A GAME IN A WHILE ESPECIALLY WITH LIMITED RUN SUPPORT. THIS GAME IS ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE THE PHILLIES ARE BIG TIME UNDERDOGS.

 OFF TO BED AND I WATCH PHILLIES POST GAME SHOW. THE HOSTS WERE ALL FIRED UP AND SO HAPPY TO SEE THE PHILLIES FIGHT FOR ANOTHER DAY.

 I SLEPT OKAY. AROUND 2:30AM I USED THE BATHROOM , RE-APPLIED ASPERCREME ( I SWEAR IT DOES DICK ) AND TOOK SOME ADVIL. I DID HAVE SOME COOL DREAMS. BUT OF COURSE I FORGET THEM.

 FRIDAY     10 - 9 - 25

 AND THE SPORTS GODS CREATE WONDERFUL NEW WAYS TO CRUSH THE PHILLY FANS HEARTS AND SOULS. OH MY GOD..........THE WAY THE PHILLIES LOST CAN NOT BE EVEN THOUGHT OF IN A NOVEL.

 THE TRI-F'N-FECTA - FLYERS LOSE , PHILLIES LOSE , AND EAGLES LOSE.

 ANALYSIS :

 FLYERS - ONE PERSON ASKED TO PUT THE FLYERS ON. I DID NOT. FLYERS LOSE BECAUSE THEY HAD 45 PENALTIES AGAINST THE REIGNING STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS. PROBABLY NOT A GOOD GAME PLAN.

 PHILLIES - MAJOR MISSED UMPIRE CALL AFFECTS THE GAME LATE. A RELIEF PITCHER FROM 15 FEET AWAY THROWS TO HOME PLATE 10 FEET WIDE TO THE CATCHER. IT WAS LAUGHABLE THAT THE CATCHER COULD NOT EVEN TOUCH THE BALL BECAUSE IT WAS THROWN SO FAR WIDE. I MEAN DOESN'T A PITCHER THROW TO HOME PLATE HS ENTIRE LIFE AND NOW MISSES FROM 15 FUCKING FEET ? THE DODGERS DESERVED TO WIN. PHILLIES BATS WENT ANEMIC AGAIN........BLOW.

 EAGLES - GET ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED BY THE LAST PLACE GIANTS. AGAIN , THEY SHUT DOWN IN THE 2ND HALF WITH ZERO POINTS. EVEN WORSE , I HAD A HUGE GIANTS FANS NEXT TO ME. HE CHEERED VIGOROUSLY BY THROWING HIS HANDS UP ON EVERY DAMN PLAY THE GIANTS DID GOOD AND EVERY DAMN THE EAGLES SUCKED ASS. I CHEERED ZERO AND NEVER MOVED FROM MY BAR STOOL......NOT A FUCKING INCH AND THIS  WAS FOR BOTH THE PHILLIES AND EAGLES GAME. WHAT A BRUTAL FUCKING WAY TO END !!!

 SO , THE PHILLIES SEASON WITH HIGH HOPES ENDS AGAIN BY CRUSHING THE FANS SOULS WITH AN IDIOTIC THROW TO HOME PLATE AND AN UMPIRE WHO MADE A HUGE BAD CALL. ON A NON-STRIKE. ( AFTER THE GAME THE UMPIRE APOLOGIZED TO THE PHILLIES PITCHER SANCHEZ )

 AND WHAT HAPPEN TO MY DAY AND NIGHT TAKING OUT SPORTS OF COURSE......THIS.

 BY 10:15AM I AM DONE COMPUTER WORK AND WALKING THE PUP ON THE BEACH.

 I LOAD UP AND HEAD TO SOUTH PHILLY WITH THE PUP TO PICK UP OUR YOUNGEST. WE STOP TO GET BREAKFAST SANDWICHES AND THE DOG PARK. WE FIND A PICNIC TABLE TO EAT WHILE THE PUP GETS ATTENTION FROM YOUNG KIDS ON RECESS. A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN PHILLY.

 AT HOME WE SETTLE IN , TALK TO ELDEST , WATCH AN EPISODE OF HOUSE OF GUINNESS , AND TAKE NAPS. I GOT SUPER TIRED AROUND 3PM.

 WHEELS GOES OUT WITH FRIENDS.

 YOUNGEST AND I HAVE BURGERS FOR DINNER AND THAN HEAD TO THE NAIL FOR A 3 BAND METAL NIGHT.

 A SOLID CROWD AND WE TRAIN AN NEW BARTENDER AGAIN.

 I WATCH SPORTS ALL NIGHT. IT IS FUCKING HUMILIATING ACROSS THE BOARD WITH 3 OF 4 OUR TEAMS PLAYING THE SAME NIGHT. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPED 19 TIMES IN 60+ YEARS.

 THE NIGHT MOVES PERFECTLY AND EVERYONE WAS SUPER COOL. THE BANDS PLAYING HERE HAVE USED OUR STAGE MANY TIMES.

 BACK HOME WE WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF HOUSE OF GUINNESS. IT IS OKAY TO GOOD BUT NO WHERE NEAR PEAKY BLINDERS. IT IS THE SAME PRODUCER.

 I HEAD TO BED AND IT GOT A LITTLE COLD. TOMORROW I WILL TURN THE HEAT ON.

 I WATCH A TON OF POST GAME ON TV AND LISTEN ON THE RADIO. WHEN WE LOSE.............ZERO CARE. I DON'T WATCH DICK.

  FRIDAY    10 - 10 - 25

 FIRST WEEKEND OFF IN 27 YEARS.  IT'S FRIDAY RIGHT ?

 OUTSIDE I SET UP AN AIR COMPRESSOR TO FILL A TIRE. I LOOK DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY AND SEE OUR BLUE RECYCLING TRASH CAN WAS NOT TAKEN. EVERY FRIDAY MORNING IS RECYCLING DAY. I SAY TO MYSELF , " MAN , I PUT THE CAN OUT THURSDAY NIGHT. DID THE TOWNSHIP TRASH TRUCK GO RIGHT BY US AND NOT PICK IT UP ? "

 I TAKE BLUE TRASHCAN AND PAPERS BACK TO OUR BACK DOOR AREA TO SIT UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY. I GO BACK TO FILLING THE AIR UP. THIRTY SECONDS LATER I SEE THE TOWNSHIP TRUCK PICKING UP RECYCLABLES AT MY NEIGHBORS AND CONTINUE UP THE STREET. I SAY TO MYSELF , " WOW , THE TOWNSHIP IS WORKING ON A SATURDAY ? " 

 I TEXT WHEELS , " CALL ME WHEN YOU HAVE A MOMENT. " SHE TEXTS BACK , " ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO. I'M IN A MEETING. " I THINK , " I'LL TELL YA SHE WORKS ALL THE TIME EVEN ON THE WEEKENDS. "

  AFTER LOADING TOOLS IN A CAR AND FILLING AIR UP ON A TIRE I HEAD TO THE NAIL. I PREP FOR THE NEXT SHOW AND WHEN DOING THE MARQUEE SIGN I REALIZE.......TODAY IS FRIDAY (NOT SATURDAY). WORST .......MEMORY........EVER.

 BACK HOME I START LOADING THE CAR. I HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH MY ELDEST BEFORE SHE HEADS TO WORK AND MORE WITH THE BOYFRIEND.

 OH , I SAW SOME NEW VIDEOS OUT ABOUT THE PHILLIES GAME. THE DODGER PLAYER WHO WON THE GAME IN THE 11TH INNING.........MISSED HOME PLATE. YEP , JUST RE-OPENING THE WOUND MORE.

 YOUNGEST AND I LOAD UP AND OUR ELDEST ARRIVES HOME FROM WORK. WE AND THE PUP HEAD NORTH. BUT FIRST STOP AT CHICK FIL - A. I NEVER BEEN THERE. $38 FOR THE ORDER. I HAD ONE SMALL CHICKEN SANDWICH.

 WE HEAD NORTH AND STOP AT WHITE HAVEN DINER SINCE I HAVE BEEN JONESING AND PLANNING FOR THEM FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. MASSIVE MUSHROOM CHEESEBURGER WITH PICKLE , FRENCH FRIES , UNLIMITED COFFEE , WATER , AND 2 HOME MADE DESERTS OF PUMPKIN PIE WITH VANILLA ICE-CREAM AND CARROT CAKE FOR $15. WE BROUGHT HALF HOME.

 AT THE HOUSE WE UNLOAD AND IT IS OVER THE TOP BEAUTIFUL HERE. I PREP EVERYTHING WHILE MY YOUNGEST LEAF BLOWS THE AWNING ROOF AND MAIN DECK.

 WE WALK THE PUP AROUND THE LAKE AND SEE 2 GUYS FISHING. THEY KNOW THE NAIL. WE TALK TO THEM FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. HALF WAY AROUND THE LAKE WE TALK TO THEIR WIVES WHO WERE WALKING TOO. THEY KNOW THE NAIL AND THE LADY EVEN SAID ," ARE YOU CHRIS FROM THE NAIL ? " WE TALK TO THEM FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THEY WERE COOL.

 FINISHING OUR WALK MY YOUNGEST SAYS , " MAN , NO MATTER WHERE WE GO SOMEONE KNOWS YOU AND THE NAIL. "

 WE WATCH AN OF HOUSE OF GUINNESS. AGAIN , OKAY TO GOOD.

 WE ORDER FROM JIREH'S PIZZA AND MY YOUNGEST GOES WITH ME TO GET IT. BACK HOME WE HAVE CHICKEN ALFREDO WHITE PIZZA , EGGPLANT PARM PLATTER , GARLIC BREAD , AND CHICKEN QUESADILLAS. AGAIN JIREH'S IS SPOT ON.

 WE SETTLE IN. OUR ELDEST TALKS TO FRIENDS WHILE MY YOUNGEST AND I WATCH A MOVIE CALLED SINNERS. THIS WAS A VERY GOOD MOVIE FOR THE FIRST  HOUR+. I MEAN IT WAS REALLY GOOD MOVIE WITH 97% ROTTEN TOMATO SCORE AND WON SOME AWARDS. NOW , THE 2ND HALF OF THE MOVIE THROWS IN VAMPIRE STUFF WHICH ACTUALLY WAS OKAY.....EVEN THOUGH I COMPLAINED TO MY ELDEST AND YOUNGEST SEVERAL TIMES.

 WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF MYTH BUSTERS. I WAS KINDA SHOCKED THAT MY KIDS PICKED IT.

 WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF HOUSE OF GUINNESS. AGAIN , OKAY TO GOOD.

 NEXT WE PLAY THE Q & A TV GAME JACK BOX WHERE I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT. IT WAS FUN THOUGH.

 WE HEAD TO OUR BEDROOMS AROUND 1:15AM. I SET UP MY BEDROOM AND WATCH TV FOR A LITTLE BIT. I TURN ON MY BEDROOM HEAT BECAUSE IT IS COLD. I MEAN REAL COLD.

 I SLEPT OKAY AND GOT UP TWICE DURING THE NIGHT. I HAD SOME COOL DREAMS.

 OH , IN THE MORNING I GET UP AROUND 7AM. I RAISE A LOWERED MINI-BLIND UP AND NOTICE.......THE LAST RENTER LEFT THE WINDOW COMPLETELY AND FULLY OPENED. NO WONDER IT WAS SO DAMN COLD IN THE BEDROOM........BLOW.

  SATURDAY    10 - 11 - 25

 MORE PHILLY FAN PAIN - GET THIS. DID YOU SEE HOW THE FLYERS AND TEMPLE FOOTBALL TEAMS LOST ?

 FLYERS - IN OVERTIME SCORE A GOAL. THE GOALIE CALLS FOR INTERFERENCE. A FLYER PLAYER CAME ACROSS THE CREASE AND THE GOALIE SHOVED HIS RIGHT ARM OUT HITTING THE PLAYER. THE REVIEW SHOWED INTERFERENCE.....NO GOAL. 28 SECONDS LATER CAROLINA SCORES TO WIN IN OVERTIME. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE......CRUSHING LOSS.

 TEMPLE FOOTBALL - IN A TIE GAME , ON NAVY'S 1 YARD LINE , AND NAVY HAS ONLY 2 TIMEOUTS , THE TEMPLE RUNNING BACK DECIDES TO RUN THE BALL INTO THE END ZONE FOR A TD TO GO UP 31 - 24. TEMPLE PLAYERS , FANS , AND COACHES ARE JUMPING UP AND DOWN LIKE THE GAME IS WON. I AM THINKING , " WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY SCORE WITH SO MUCH TIME LEFT ? "

 EXAMPLE - PENN STATE A 21 POINT FAVORITE LOSES TO NORTHWESTERN. WHAT DOES THE NW RUNNING BACK DO ?......HE PURPOSELY FALLS SHORT OF THE END ZONE. TIME RUNS OUT , NW WINS.

 BACK TO TEMPLE - SO WHY IN THE FUCK DIDN'T THE TEMPLE RUNNING BACK RUN INTO THE END ZONE ? THE OFFENSE COULD OF KNELT DOWN , USED NAVY'S TIME OUTS UP , AND KICKED A FIELD GOAL FROM THE 1 YARD LINE TO WIN THE GAME AS TIME EXPIRED.......WORST COACHING DECISION I EVER SEEN.

 RESULT - NAVY WITH 2 TIMEOUTS AND A MINUTE+ GO FOR A 4TH AND 1 ON THEIR OWN 45 YARD LINE. THE QB RUNS RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE AND SCORES A 55 YARD TD. NAVY HAS THE BALLS TO GO FOR A 2 POINT CONVERSATION AND MAKE IT !! NAVY WINS 32 - 31. YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP.

 OKAY , NOW MY LONG BUT GOOD DAY.

 THE RAIN IS COMING BIG TIME ESPECIALLY AT THE BEACH. I NEED TO GET ON THE ROAD SOON.

 UP EARLY DOING MY THING AND I BEGIN CLEANING AND PREPPING FOR DEPARTURE.

 OH , FAMILY IN ITALY DOING A HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE. THAT BE SUPER COOL TO DO BUT I DON'T THINK THERE IS ENOUGH HOT AIR TO LIFT ME.

 ANYWAY , TO MY SURPRISE MY ELDEST AND YOUNGEST ARE UP AROUND 10AM. MY YOUNGEST HELPS ME CLEAN AND PREP TOO. BY 11AM ALL OF US HEAD TO WHITE HAVEN DINER FOR BREAKFAST. IT IS ALWAYS GOOD AND THE PRICE IS RIDICULOUSLY LOW.

 NEXT WE GO TO THE LOCAL FOOD MARKET. I BUY THE KIDS FOOD AND MORE.

 BACK HOME WE DO A FINAL CLEAN AND HEAD HOME. WE TALK TO WHEELS FOR ALMOST AN HOUR WHICH WAS VERY NICE.

 OH , I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I PURPOSELY TOOK A WEEKEND OFF AT THE NAIL OR BOOKED NO BANDS.

 AT HOME WE TRANSFER THINGS TO ANOTHER CAR. WE SETTLE IN AT HOME AND I TRY TO REST FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. I ALSO SHOWER.

 BY 3:30PM I DRIVE MY YOUNGEST BACK TO SOUTH PHILLY. WE MAKE GOOD TIME.

 NEXT I HEAD EAST AND 90 MINUTES LATER I AM GREETED BY WHEELS IN A NEGLIGEE WAITING FOR ME AT THE FRONT DOOR. SHE TOTALLY MISSES ME AND WANTS MY BODY NOW. BEFORE WE EVEN UNLOAD AND THE DOG IS STILL IN THE CAR WE GO INTO THE BEDROOM.

 11 SECONDS LATER WE UNLOAD THE CAR AND WALK THE PUP. WE SETTLE IN AND HAVE CHEESE STEAKS FOR DINNER.

 FRIENDS WERE SUPPOSE TO CALL US TO GO TO A LOCAL PUB BUT NEVER DO OR UPDATE WHEELS. BY 8:30PM WE FIGURE WE ARE STAYING IN SO WE WATCH A MOVIE CALLED THE NAKED GUN. IN THE RIGHT MIND SET IT WAS OKAY TO GOOD AND SEVERAL TIMES IT MADE US LAUGH OUT LOUD. LESLIE NEESON AND PAMELA ANDERSON ACTUALLY DID A DECENT JOB IN RARE COMEDIC ROLES. OH , THEY ARE NOW DATING IN REAL LIFE.

 WE WATCH THE BREWERS BEAT THE CUBS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT BETTER TEAMS DO ESPECIALLY IN THEIR HOME STADIUM. WE WATCH THEM WIN AND I SAY WHILE WATCHING THE FANS FREAK OUT WITH HAPPINESS  , " MAN , IT MUST BE NICE TO CHEER. "

 AFTER THE NEWS WE HEAD TO BED AROUND 11PM. I TOOK SOME ADVIL AND USED THE MASSAGER ON MY RIGHT SHOULDER FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. I SLEPT DECENT.

 THE RAIN AND WIND IS A COMIN'.

 ONE STORY WRITTEN ABOVE MAY BE FICTITIOUS AND A FANTASY OF MINE.

  SUNDAY     10 - 12 - 25

 AND THE RAIN AND WIND CAME.........IT CAUSED FLOODING AND BEACH EROSION BUT OUR BLOCK AND BEACH WAS FINE.

 TRUMP NEGOTIATES PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. HALF THE NATION THINKS TRUMP IS AN IDIOT BUT THIS MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED........GOOD JOB. TRUMPS FIRST WORDS IN ISRAEL AND IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD SAYS , " THE LAST PRESIDENT WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. OBAMA WAS NOT FAR BEHIND. "........I JUST SHAKE MY HEAD.

 TRUMP ALLOWING QATAR TO BUILD AN AIR BASE IN IDAHO. IN 2017 TRUMP SAID , " QATAR IS THE BIGGEST SUPPORTER IN TERRORISM ."  YEP , THIS IS WHY HALF THE COUNTRY THINKS HE'S AN IDIOT.

 COWBOYS LOSING HELPS A LITTLE EASING OF OUR PAIN BECAUSE EVERY DAMN PHILLY AND SUBURB TEAM LOST IN EVERY DAMN SPORT THIS PAST WEEK.

 I DID SOME SMALL PROJECTS LIKE TOUCH-UP PAINT A BATHROOM CEILING , WOOD PUTTY ABOUT 8 IMPERFECTIONS ON OUR WOOD FLOORS , FIX A FLOOR GAP IN A CORNER , AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS. WHEELS ALWAYS CRACKS ME UP WHEN I LET HER CROSS OFF THE THINGS DONE ON THE PUNCH LIST.

 YOUNGEST TRAVELS TO NEW HOPE AREA TO SEE A PLAY WITH FRIENDS. SHE SAID IT WAS VERY GOOD.

 TALK TO ELDEST AFTER SHE WORKED TODAY.

 WATCHED SOME NFL FOOTBALL. MAN IT SUCKS WHEN THE EAGLES DON'T PLAY. THE PHILLIES BEING ELIMINATED BLOWS TOO.

 WHEN OUT TWICE TO WALK THE PUP IN THE SLIGHT RAIN AND MODERATE WINDS. I TRIED TO PICK LULLS AND IT WORKED OUT. OH , IT WAS NO WHERE NEAR 60MPH WINDS LIKE ACTION NEWS SAID FOR 48 STRAIGHT HOURS.

  WHEELS MAKES DINNER AND WE CHILL WATCHING THE NEWS.

 WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF TULSA KING AND ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. BOTH WERE VERY GOOD.

  GOT AN ISSUE HERE. A MOVIE CALLED ANORA WON ALL KINDS OF OSCARS. I MEAN BEST PICTURE , BEST ACTRESS , BEST ASS , AND MORE.  MY QUESTION IS , " WHO THE FUCK VOTED THIS BEST MOVIE ? " THE FIRST HOUR+ IS ALL MULTIPLE SEX SCENES. HEY , AS A GUY , I AM TOTALLY FINE WITH A HOT GIRL BEING BANGED ALL OVER A HOUSE , POOL , SHOWER , CAR , TRUCK , LAWN , TABLES , BEDROOM , PLANE , STRIP CLUB , FLOOR , AND OTHER LOCATIONS. I MEAN THE GIRL IS A PIECE OF ASS. BUT......BEST FUCKING PICTURE ? NO......ABSOLUTELY NOT.

 MY RIGHT SHOULDER IS STILL HURTING. I AM USING ASPERCREME ( DOES ABSOLUTELY DICK ) AND ANOTHER BENGAY-LIKE PRODUCT ALONG WITH ADVIL AND A MASSAGER. THE PAIN IS NOT GOING AWAY.

 I ENTER A REAL CASH POKER GAME FOR $15. WINNER TAKES ABOUT $600. I CONSIDER MYSELF A DECENT TO GOOD PLAYER BUT I  WILL NEVER WIN BIG MONEY.

 EXAMPLES :

 - MY ACES VERSE 3/4. I LOSE WHEN THE PLAYER HIT A 4 ON THE RIVER TO GET 2 PAIR.

 - MY QUEENS VERSE THREES. THE PLAYER HITS A 3 ON THE TURN FOR TRIPS.

 THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS IN REAL MONEY GAMES. THE FREE POKER I ALWAYS DO WELL.

 OFF TO BED AROUND 12:30AM WHERE THE PUP WAS ALREADY IN MY WAITING.

  OH , RIGHT BEFORE GETTING OUT MY CLOTHES FOR BED I SAW A SPIDER CRICKET. HE WON'T BE COMING BACK.

  MONDAY      10 - 13 - 25

 ANOTHER DAY HERE AND ALL IS GOOD , AT LEAST AT OUR BLOCK , OTHER AREAS GOT HIT WITH FLOODING.

 FIGHTING THIS RIGHT SHOULDER PAIN. IT IS NON-STOP , THE PAIN IS EQUAL TO MY RECENT BACK PAIN BUT AT LEAST I CAN WALK.

 DID SOME SMALL STUFF TODAY BUT MOSTLY TRIED TO CHILL. I LAID DOWN TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE SHOULDER PAIN.

 GOT SOME COMPUTER WORK DONE , WALKED THE PUP ON THE BEACH TWICE , AND THERE A WAS ALOT OF SEAWEED AND LIMITED DEBRIS.

 FUNNY SOCIAL POST , " FLYERS ONLY PHILLY TEAM TO WIN ". IT DID SPEAK THE TRUTH.

 EAGLES GOT HELP FROM THEIR CRUSHING LOSS BECAUSE BOTH DALLAS AND WASHINGTON LOST TOO.

  STILL SHAKING MY HEAD ON AWARDS GIVEN TO THE MOVIE ANORA.

 WE TRIED TWO NEW TV SERIES. ONE EPISODE OF EACH. FIRST WAS BLACK RABBIT. IT WAS OKAY AT BEST BUT DID PICK UP IN THE LAST 10 MINUTES. NEXT WAS BOOTS. THIS PRETTY MUCH HAD INTENSITY RIGHT AWAY AND THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE. WHEELS AND I DECIDED WE WATCH BOOTS FIRST.

 WATCHED THE FLYERS BOUNCE BACK FROM A SHITTY ROUGHING THE GOALIE CALL LAST GAME WHICH GAVE THEM A LOSS IN OVERTIME. THEY BEAT DEFENDING CHAMPION PANTHERS 5 - 2.

 WATCHED THE NEWS WITH WEATHER AND HOSTAGES BEING RELEASED. I JUST COULD NOT IMAGINE.

 I TOOK MORE ADVIL AND BEN-GAY AND FELT DECENT ENOUGH TO HEAD OUT TO DINNER. WE DECIDE TO JUST DRIVE A LITTLE BIT TO SEE WHAT IS OPEN AND IF ROADS WERE FLOODED. ALL WAS GOOD.

 WE PICK POPPI'S FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 2 WEEKS. AGAIN , THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT AND A BYOB.

 BEFORE LEAVING WE ALWAYS TAKE A BOTTLE OF WINE IN CASE WE PICK A BYOB RESTAURANT. WELP , BOTH OF US FORGOT THE WINE. YEP , WE DROVE BACK. HEY , AT $14 A GLASS A 10 MINUTE RIDE BACK WAS FINE WITH ME. WE BOTH HAD 3 GLASSES SO WE SAVED $84.

 WE BOTH HEAD TO BED KINDA EARLY. WHEELS AROUND 10:30PM AND ME AROUND 11PM. I WATCHED TV FOR A BIT. I DID WAKE UP AT 5AM PISSED. I WAS UP UNTIL 6AM AND WENT BACK TO SLEEP UNTIL 8AM WHEN THE PUP GOT ME UP.

 A LITTLE SCARE..............

 YOUNGEST TEXTS ME A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE BACK YARD AND HEARING A HISSING SOUND. I IMMEDIATELY TELL HER TO CALL PECO/PGW AND POLICE. THE FIRE COMPANY AND PGW ARRIVE QUICKLY. APPARENTLY IT WAS THE NEIGHBORS BBQ PROPANE TANK THAT SPRUNG A LEAK AND MADE THE STRONG ODOR OF GAS EVIDENT. I WAS RELIEVED BECAUSE I DID TEXT BACK , " DOES GAS LINE CONNECT TO A PROPANE TANK FOR A BBQ OR GOES INTO THE HOME ? " LUCKILY , IT WAS A PROPANE TANK AND RESOLVED VERY QUICKLY. GAS IS NO JOKE AND COULD BE VERY LETHAL. I ACTUALLY TOLD MY YOUNGEST AND ROOM MATE TO WALK TO A LOCAL PUB SEVERAL BLOCKS AWAY UNTIL IT WAS INVESTIGATED.

 ANOTHER DAY AND THE GOOD WEATHER IS RETURNING.

 AGAIN OUR BEACHES ARE FINE. OTHERS TOOK A HIT.

 TALK TO ELDEST WHO WAS MAKING SLOW COOKED BEEF WITH AU JUS. I'M WAITING FOR THE DAY SHE COOKS FOR US.

  MOSTLY DOING EMAILS AND CHILLING TODAY. BY 5:30PM WHEELS AND I WERE DONE WORK.

 FUNNY STORY - WHEELS COMPANY IS DOING AN " EMPLOYEE BUILDING " PROJECT. THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO ALL POST BABY PICTURES OF THEMSELVES. EMPLOYEES THAN GUESS WHO IS WHO.  THE FUNNY THING THAT MADE EVERYONE LAUGH.........WHEELS WAS THE ONLY WHITE PERSON AND HER CO-WORKER WAS THE ONLY BLACK PERSON IN THE GROUP. YEP , THEY WERE GUESSED QUITE QUICKLY.

 WE DECIDE TO GO TO NINO'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT. THIS PLACE ALWAYS CRACKS US UP WITH PORTION AND PRICE. WHEELS HAS AT LEAST 3 MORE MEALS AND I HAVE 2 MORE. EVERYONE ALWAYS BRINGS DOGGY BAGS HOME. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT WITH COST BUT THIS PLACE IS ALWAYS BUSY.  I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THEIR DIPPING SAUCE FOR BREAD WAS WAY BETTER THAN BEFORE.

 BACK HOME WE SETTLE IN. WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF BOOTS AND BLACK RABBIT. BOTH WERE GOOD. I LIKE BOOTS OVER BLACK RABBIT SO FAR.

 WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF HIGH POTENTIAL. IT WAS GOOD.

  WHEELS WALKS THE PUP AND THAN SHE HEADS STRAIGHT FOR MY BED. NOT WHEELS....THE PUP.

 WE WATCH THE NEWS AND HEAD TO BED TOO.

 I STAY UP A LITTLE LONGER IN BED BUT EVENTUALLY TRY TO SLEEP. I SLEPT OKAY AND HAD SOME DREAMS AGAIN I CAN'T REMEMBER.

 DODGERS HAVE WON ALL THEIR AWAY GAMES. THEY ARE UP 2 - 0 AGAINST THE BREWERS AND NOW HEAD BACK TO LOS ANGELES. MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT DODGERS OR PHILLIES WOULD GET TO THE WORLD SERIES........MAN , IT IS SO DEPRESSING.

  WEDNESDAY     10 - 15 - 25

 WELL THIS KINDA SUCKS BUT I CAN NOT COMPLAIN. IT IS 72 DEGREES AND A PICTURE PERFECT DAY. I WALK THE PUP ALONG THE OCEAN'S EDGE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. WHAT SUCKS ? IT IS TIME TO ROLL BACK WEST.......BLOW.

 BACK FROM THE BEACH AND I GET ALL WORK DONE AND BEGIN CLEANING AND PACKING. WE HAD A FAIR AMOUNT OF STUFF THAT NEEDED TO BE PACKED SMARTLY. I WAS ACTUALLY SWEATING BY THE END. THE PUP LAID IN THE SUN IN THE PARKING LOT THE WHOLE TIME.

 WE ROLL OUT AND AFTER DINNER TIME WE ARE HOME. WE UNLOAD AND HAVE LEFTOVERS FOR DINNER.

 WHEELS HAS HER HAIR DONE. SHE SAYS IT IS EVERY 6 WEEKS BUT FEELS LIKE EVERY OTHER WEEK. 

 WE TALK TO ELDEST TO CHECK IN.

 WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF ABBOTT ELEMENTARY WHERE THE CAST IS AT A PHILLIES GAME. MY YOUNGEST WAS AT THIS GAME AND SCHWARBER HIT 4 HOME RUNS AND APPEARED AS A GUEST ON THE SHOW. IT WAS OKAY TO GOOD.

 AGAIN WE WATCH TWO TV SERIES TOGETHER. EPISODE 3 OF BOTH BOOTS AND THE BLACK RABBIT. BOTH WERE GOOD.

 A COUSIN USING OUR MOUNTAIN HOUSE TEXTING ME A PICTURE OF HIM , HIS BROTHER , AND A BARTENDER WE KNOW. I GAVE HIM A SUGGESTION TO GO TO A LOCAL PUB AND HE WENT THERE.

 RIGHT SHOULDER STILL HURTING. I TOOK 2 ADVIL AT 6PM AND AGAIN AT 11PM. I ALSO USED THE HAND HELD MASSAGER FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. MAN , IT SUCKS GETTINGG OLD.

 OFF TO BED TO CHECK EMAILS AND WATCH TV FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 20 MINUTES. ACTUALLY , MY TV LOST A SIGNAL SO I SAID , " F THIS " AND JUST WENT TO BED.

 I SLEPT OKAY. I GOT UP FOR THE BATHROOM AND HEARD SOME NOISES.

 HAD A DREAM OUR HOME HAD WICKED FLOODING. CARS WERE PUSHED DOWN THE STREET AND TAKEN AWAY VIA THE RAGING WATER. THE WEIRD THING IS THE WATER WAS COMING RIGHT DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY AND NONE OF OUR CARS EVER MOVED.

  THURSDAY      10 - 16 - 25

 WELP , I'M DEFINITELY BACK HOME. IT'S FUNNY HOW I THINK. I OPEN MY EMAILS UP AND THE VERY FIRST ONE IS A BAND WITH A BIG DRAW. THEY WANT TO PLAY IN DECEMBER SO I BOOK IT. I THINK , " THIS IS A GOOD SIGN FOR THE START OF MY MORNING. I BET THE REST OF MY EMAILS WILL BE GOOD. "

 2ND EMAIL - MT HOUSE RENTER - " YOUR DIG DUG ARCADE MACHINE HAS A BLACK SCREEN ".

 3RD EMAIL - MT HOUSE RENTER - " YOUR WASHING MACHINE WON'T SPIN AND MAKING A LOUD SOUND. "

 RIGHT SHOULDER IS NOT GETTING BETTER. IT IS EXACTLY LIKE MY BAD BACK FOR 6 MONTHS. I AM TAKING ADVIL , PAIN CREAMS , AND USE THE HAND HELD MASSAGER EVERY DAY.

 DODGERS WIN AGAIN. GO UP 3 - 0. MAN , IT IS PAINFUL TO WATCH. WELL  , NOT WATCH , JUST FIND OUT THE SCORE.

 FLYERS LOSE 5 - 2 TO THE BEST TEAM IN THE NHL.

 PICK UP ELDEST AFTER SHE HAD A SLEEPOVER. I AM NOT A FAN OF THIS PICK-UP......BUT I DID AND EVEN BROUGHT THE PUP WITH ME.

 LEFTOVERS FOR DINNER AGAIN. THIS IS THE 3RD MEAL SO FAR.

 AROUND 6:30PM I HEAD TO THE NAIL TO CLEAN , PREP , ORGANIZE , AND MORE FOR THE WEEKEND SHOWS. BY 9PM NOT ONE PERSON CAME IN SO I SAID " F THIS " AND HEAD HOME. I TELL THE BARTENDERS THIS TOO. IF NO ONE IS AROUND LEAVE ASAP.

 AT HOME I SETTLE IN WITH THE MASSAGER. I CHECK EMAILS AND CHILL WITH WHEELS.

 WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF BOOTS AND BLACK RABBIT. BOTH WERE GOOD. AGAIN , BOOTS IS BETTER.

 WE ALSO WATCH AN EPISODE OF ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD AS ALWAYS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM WRITING THIS BUT THERE WAS TOO MUCH MERYL STREEP.

 IT IS AFTER 11PM AND WE HEAD TO BED. WE ARE BOTH TIRED.

 I SLEPT DECENT AND ONLY WOKE UP TWICE. THE PUP WAS ONE OF THOSE WAKE-UPS AT 4AM WHEN SHE JUMPED ON MY BED.
