AND JUST LIKE THAT.......IT'S 2026.

 THIS MINI-VACATION HAS BEEN VERY NICE FOR WHEELS AND I. SHE TOOK THE WEEK OFF AND I BOOKED NO BANDS.

 NEW YEARS DAY PARADE - MY COUSIN TOOK A 6 YEAR HIATUS FROM HOSTING THIS GET TOGETHER BUT DECIDED TO BRING IT BACK. IT WAS AWESOME.

 HERE ARE THE EVENTS OF OUR DAY :

 - I PLUG IN THE WRONG ADDRESS VIA MY G.P.S. AND IT TAKES ME TO MY COUSIN'S PLACE BELOW BROAD STREET. I WAS SUPPOSE TO PICK UP OUR YOUNGEST WHO IS ABOVE BROAD STREET. THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I CAN GET ACROSS BROAD STREET SO I ASK HER TO WALK.

 - WE FIND EXCELLENT PARKING ON THE STREET JUST 2 SHORT BLOCKS FROM MY COUSIN'S APARTMENT BUILDING. A NICE THING IS ALL PARKING IS FREE TODAY.....AND I FEEL HORRIBLE.

 - WE TIME IT PERFECTLY MEETING OUR YOUNGEST AT THE LOBBY OF A REALLY NICE APARTMENT BUILDING. THE ATTENDANT NAMED " MUFASA " ( YEP , LIKE THE LION KING ) WAS SUPER COOL.

 - WE ALSO TIME ABOUT 10 OTHER COUSINS ARRIVING AT THE SAME TIME. WE ALL HEAD UP AND OUR COUSIN GREETS US. IT IS ONLY 11:45AM SO FOOD IS NOT READY SO WE HEAD DOWN TO THE STREET. WE GET FRONT ROW STANDING AND BRING SOME STATE SIDE BEVERAGES.

 - LATER , A FUN AND FAVORITE COUSIN ARRIVES WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND AND FRIEND. HE IS THE GLUE TO THIS GET TOGETHER. WE IMMEDIATELY OPEN BOTTLES OF WINE AND WATCH THE MUMMERS PARADE GO BY. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

 - MORE COUSINS ARRIVE WITH FOOD FROM READING MARKET TERMINAL ( UNBELIEVABLE STUFFED PORK , ROASTED TURKEY , AND BBQ HAM). YEP , MY DIET IS OFFICIALLY BECOME A CHEAT DAY.

 - WINE , DRINKS , CUPS ARE BROUGHT DOWN TO THE STREET. THIS PARTY IS ON AS MORE COUSINS AND FRIENDS ARRIVE. I THINK WE HIT 40 LAST TIME I COUNTED.

 - I ASK MY FAVORITE COUSIN , " ARE YOU GOING ACROSS THE FENCE BORDERS INTO BROAD STREET AGAIN ? " HE REPLIES , " NO , I'M TOO OLD FOR THAT. "

 - ONE BOTTLE OF WINE LATER......MY COUSIN CROSSES THE BORDER FENCES AND IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRING BANDS ON BROAD STREET......TOO FUNNY. "

 - THE YELLOW TAPE HOLDING PEOPLE BACK WAS FUNNY TOO. MY COUSIN AND I WOULD LIFT THE TAPE UP WHEN PEOPLE WANTED TO CROSS BROAD STREET. WE WOULD YELL OUT , " HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!.........NOW LIMBO !!! " WE DID IT DO 100 PEOPLE BUT 4 ADORABLE GIRLS ALL LIMBOED RIGHT IN A ROW WHICH WAS AWESOME !!

 - BACK UPSTAIRS FOR THE FOOD IS NOW READY AND MY COUSIN MAKES HIS FAMOUS NEW ORLEANS STYLE JAMBALAYA WITH A BLACK BEAN ENSEMBLE ON THE SIDE. HE SPENDS ALL DAY COOKING IT AND IT WAS VERY GOOD.

 - OF COURSE A 1,000 COOKIES AND CHOCOLATES WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE......DAMN IT !!

 - ANOTHER TRADITION IS CROWN ROYAL SHOTS. AGAIN , WE HAD TO DO THE TRADITION.

 - BACK TO THE STREETS AND MY COUSIN IS LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF BROAD STREET. I VIDEO HIM AND IT IS HILARIOUS. HE TRULY MAKES THIS EXPERIENCE 10X BETTER. WE SPEND ABOUT ANOTHER 45 MINUTES WATCHING , DANCING , AND SINGING WITH EVERYONE AND THE STRING BANDS GOING BY.

 - BACK UPSTAIRS WE SAY OUR GOODBYES AND THAN DOWN ON THE STREET WE SAY OUR GOODBYES TO MORE COUSINS. THE ONE MAIN COUSIN CAN NOT BE FOUND. APPARENTLY ( I TALKED TO HIM THE NEXT DAY ) HE WALKED DOWN BROAD STREET A COUPLE OF BLOCKS TOWARDS WILLIAM PENN STATUE.

 - WE GET IN THE CAR AND THERE IS STILL NO WAY TO CROSS BROAD STREET TO GET MY KID BACK TO HER APARTMENT. WE LET HER WALK. AGAIN , I FEEL BAD.

 WE MAKE GOOD TIME GETTING HOME. WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH THE HALL OF FAME MUSIC AWARDS AND THE INDUCTEES. IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

  OFF TO BED AND WHEELS MAKE ME SLEEP MUCH MUCH BETTER.....WINK WINK.

 76ERS WIN AND SOME REALLY GOOD COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF GAMES.

 I SLEPT SO-SO AT BEST AND I HAVE SOME THING GOING ON TOMORROW. I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THEM SO I SLEEP OKAY AT BEST. THE PUP JOINS ME.

 FRIDAY      1 - 2 -  25

 A GOOD DAY FOR ME , A BAD DAY FOR MY DIET.

 YESTERDAY WAS THE NEW YEARS DAY PARADE FAMILY PARTY WITH TONS OF FOOD AND DESERTS. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR MY DIET. SO WHAT HAPPENS TODAY ? A CHRISTMAS GET TOGETHER WITH.......FOOD , DESERTS , AND BOOZE. OH MAN , THIS IS NOT GOOD BUT I HAD SUCH A FUN TIME. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AS THEY SAY.

 OK , MY DAY AND IT WAS GOOD.

 AT THE NAIL AROUND 8:45AM TO MEET A SECURITY TECH. MY CAMERAS HAVE BEEN DOWN AND I FIGURED IT HAD TO DO WITH THE EVER CHANGING I.P. ADDRESSES NOT MATCHING TOMY CELL PHONE. THE TECH FIGURED IT OUT AND HAD THE CAMERAS BACK UP AND RUNNING.  THIS WAS SUCH A RELIEF. THE TECH WAS SUPER COOL WITH OVER 35 YEARS EXPERIENCE.

 WHILE THE TECH WAS WORKING I CLEANED AND PREPPED. HE WAS DONE BY 10AM AND I GOT READY TO LEAVE AND HEAD HOME. BUT THAN I FORGOT .....I HAVE A BEER DELIVERY. I WAIT UNTIL 11AM AND THE BEER GUYS ARRIVE. I STOCK BEER UNTIL 11:45AM AND NOW HEAD HOME.

 I FIRST STOP AND DROP OUR CAR OFF AT THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP. I TALK TO OUR MECHANIC FOR A LITTLE BIT. I TELL HIM ABOUT THE 2 LEADS HE GAVE ME FOR BARTENDERS AND THEY NEVER SHOWED UP. HE FELT SO BAD BUT I RE-ASSURED HIM IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT HIS FAULT.

 AT HOME I GET EMAILS AND BLOG DONE. I SHOWER AND CHANGE AND NOW WHEELS AND I ARE ON THE ROAD TO COATESVILLE. WE MEET UP WITH FAMILY WHO ARE REALLY COOL. WE HAVE ALL KINDA OF PICKIES , DESERTS , AND WINE. WE HANG OUT TO ABOUT 5:30PM AND I REALLY ENJOYED TELLING STORIES , JOKES , AND JUST GETTING TOGETHER.

 OH THE DRIVE UP WE TALKED TO OUR YOUNGEST , ELDEST , SISTER-IN-LAW , AND MY MOM. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS GOING BACK INTO SURGERY FOR HIS KNEE SEEMS INFECTED. HE WAS TOLD HE WALK NO PROBLEM IN TWO WEEKS. IT IS NOW 8 WEEKS.

 DRIVING HOME WE DECIDE TO CALL A COUSIN. HE TELLS US TO STOP BY. WE VISIT THEM FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND I HAVE A CROWN ROYAL DRINK WHILE WHEELS HAS SOME WHITE WINE. WE TALK AND JOKE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. AGAIN , A GOOD TIME BUT MAN MY DIET IS TAKING A BEATING WITH 2 CHEAT DAYS IN A ROW. GAINING WEIGHT PISSED ME OFF BUT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD TIME THESE LAST 2 DAYS.

 OH , FINDING THEIR APARTMENT TOOK SO LONG MY COUSIN HAD TO COME OUTSIDE TO FIND US.

 I GET A TEXT FROM A WOMAN I THINK. SHE WROTE , " I AM BBQING STEAKS TOMORROW IF YOU LIKE TO COME OVER ".  AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS AN INNOCENT MISTAKE SO I PLAYED ALONG WITH SEVERAL MORE TEXTS GOING BACK AND FORTH. BUT , IT ENDS UP IT WAS A SCAM.

 AT HOME THE PUP FREAKS OUT SEEING US. SHE IS SO FUNNY. WE FEED AND WALK HER.

 WHEELS AND I SETTLE IN AND WATCH THE 2 HOUR FINALE OF STRANGER THINGS. WE THOUGHT IT WAS VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT. WE EVEN WATCH THE AFTER SEGMENT OF 18 MINUTES SHOWING HOW THEY MADE THE FINAL EPISODE. IT IS BORDERLINE AMAZING THE TECHNOLOGY THEY USE.

 OH , I HAVE 2 COKE ZEROES DURING THE FINALE. OVERALL , I GAINED 3 POUNDS THESE PAST 2 DAYS.........BLOW. MY COUSIN SAID TO ME , " DID YOU LOSE SOME WEIGHT ". THIS MADE ME FEEL GOOD. I TELL WHEELS , " IT IS SO NICE WHEN SOMEONE REALIZES I LOST WEIGHT. " SHE GRABS AND HUGS ME SAYING , " OH YOUR DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB ".  IT WAS VERY SARCASTIC.

 OFF TO BED AROUND 11PM. I WATCH SOME MORE TV WHILE CHECKING EMAILS AND MORE.

 I CLIMB IN BED AND TRY TO SLEEP. THE PUP JOINS ME LATER. I SLEPT OKAY AT BEST BUT GOT UP 3 TIMES FOR THE BATHROOM..........WHICH SUCKED. THOSE DAMN COKE ZEROES , CROWN ROYAL , GLASSES OF WINE , AND A ZERO CHERRY FLAVORED GINGER ALE.

 SATURDAY        1 - 3 - 26

 SO AFTER 2 GET TOGETHERS IN A ROW WITH BOOZE , FOOD , AND DESERTS I ABSTAIN AGAIN. I CALL IT MY PENANCE. THIS IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT I AM BACK ON TRACK AND LOST THE 3 POUNDS I GAINED OVER THOSE TWO PARTIES. I AM DOWN 23 POUNDS AND SO FEEL IT. NOW.....I HAVE TO KEEP IT GOING.

 WHEELS VISITS BROTHER IN HOSPITAL FOR HE HAD TO DO A 2ND KNEE SURGERY BECAUSE THE FIRST GOT INFECTED. I WAS TEXTING HIM AFTER MIDNIGHT. SHE THAN GOES OUT TO DINNER WITH A FRIEND.

 DROVE TO NAIL TO PREP AND GET HEAT ON. I AM SO PISSED I DID NOT ASK THE COMCAST TECH TO SEE WHY OUR BIG TV IS POWERING DOWN. IT NEVER DID IT BEFORE UNTIL HE DID SOMETHING.

 YOUNGEST TAKES TRAIN HOME AND MAN DID THE PUP WELCOME HER BACK.

 IT GOT COLD IN A HURRY BUT A WARM FRONT IS IN THE FORECAST SOON. PEOPLE THAT PREFER WINTER OVER SUMMER........REALLY ?

 TRUMP INVADES VENEZUELA AND KIDNAPS PRESIDENT AND WIFE. I KNOW THEY ARE BAD PEOPLE BUT DAMN. TRUMP SAID THE ACTING VICE PRESIDENT WOULD RUN THINGS. THAT ACTING VICE PRESIDENT WAS FURIOUS AND WANTS HER PRESIDENT RELEASED IMMEDIATELY. HMMMM.......EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF WHAT TRUMP TOLD US.

 TWO BURGERS WITH ONIONS , MUSHROOMS , AND CHEESE IS ALL I HAD TODAY. AGAIN , IT WAS FOR MY SINS IN EATING SO MANY DESERTS.

 FLYERS AND 76ERS WITH BIG WINS OVER TOP TEAMS.

 A BROTHER GETS A PUP. WE WILL SOON VISIT.

 49ERS SHIT THE BED WITH LOSS TO SEAHAWKS. THEY LOSE #1 SEED. THE SUPERBOWL IS AT THEIR STADIUM THIS YEAR. THEY COULD OF HAD HOME ADVANTAGE INTO THE SUPERBOWL.....CRAZY. I GUESS THEY STILL CAN THOUGH.

 STOP AND VISIT MY BROTHER AND FAMILY AT A VERY LOCAL RESTAURANT. IT WAS NICE TO SEE THEM.

 WE HEAD TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR A 4 BAND NIGHT. OF COURSE ONE BAND CANCELS DUE TO A FAMILY EMERGENCY. I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW MANY BANDS SAY THIS. THE TOP REASON IS , " MY GRANDFATHER IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND I AM GONG TO VISIT HIM. " MY RESPONSE , " YOUR SET IS AT 11PM. ARE VISITING HOURS THAT LATE? IF SO , YOU SHOULD LET GRANDPA GET SOME REST. "

 THE NIGHT MOVES ALONG WITH GOOD MUSIC AND A SO-SO CROWD. IT WAS SOLID SLOW BUSY. I WAS SO PISSED I COULD NOT GET THE BIG TV TO WORK IN H.D.

 I HAD A VERY GOOD TIME SEEING MY FORMER RADIO SHOW HOST. SHE HAD A TON OF FUNNY STORIES.

 BACK HOME WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. BY 1AM WE HEAD TO BED.

 I HAVE A DREAM ABOUT WHEELS STEALING SOME TV EQUIPMENT AT A STORE WHERE I THOUGHT SHE PURCHASED IT. THE OVER HEARD THE GUARD SAY , " DID SHE PAY FOR THAT ? " I TURN BACK WHILE LEAVING WITH WHEELS AND GIVE HIM THE THUMBS UP." I LATER FIND OUT WHEELS SHE DID NOT PAY FOR IT.

  SUNDAY    1 - 4 - 26

 YOU KNOW WHAT IS NOT A GOOD SOUND ?........A PIECE OF PLASTIC SNAPPING IN TWO.

 IT'S 2AM AND I SPIN MY HEAD WITH MY MASK ON. SOME HOW THE PLASTIC TUBE THAT CONNECTS TO MY MASK KINKS AND SNAPS. I AM SO PISSED. SO , NOW I AM UP SUPER GLUING IT , WRITING THIS BLOG , AND CHECKING EMAILS.

 THE 70% OF FANS WHO WISHED THE EAGLES WOULD SIT THEIR STARTERS GOT THEIR WISH. THE EAGLES PLAYED BRUTALLY BAD WITH THEIR BACKUPS ,  A SHIT LOAD OF DEFENSIVE PENALTIES , AND BRUTALLY BAD PLAY CALLING AGAIN. EAGLES LOSE 24 - 17 TO WASHINGTON AND DO NOT MOVE FROM THEIR #3 SEED. THEY WILL FACE THE 49ERS ON SUNDAY AT 4:25PM AND LOSE.

 OH , THE LIONS UPSET THE BEARS 16 - 13 ON A FIELD GOAL WITH NO TIME LEFT. IF THE EAGLES PLAYED THEIR STARTERS AND WON THEY WOULD OF BEEN A #2 SEED AND PLAYED THE INJURY RIDDLED PACKERS AND HAVE A 2ND HOME GAME IF THEY WON THE FIRST. SETH JOYNER AND I ARE FURIOUS AT THIS SCENARIO.

 EAGLES HAVE BEAT THE PACKERS 3 STRAIGHT TIMES.

 EAGLES IN THE PLAYOFFS ARE 5 - 0 AT HOME AND 0 - 2 AWAY. YOU HAVE TO BE A FUCKING IDIOT TO SIT THE STARTERS.

 STEELERS....HOLY SHIT WHAT A GAME. THEY CLINCH THEIR DAVISON BECAUSE THE RAVENS ROOKIE KICKER MISSED A SHORT FIELD GOAL WITH NO TIME LEFT.

 I TALK TO A RENTER WHO WAS BBQ'ING STEAKS ON THE GRILL AT OUR MOUNTAIN HOUSE. HE SENT A PICTURE......OH......MY.....GOD IT LOOKED AWESOME. HE SAYS HE KNOWS A BUTCHER FRIEND AND BUYS A HALF COW FOR $1800.

 OKAY , MY DAY.

 WHEELS , MYSELF , AND YOUNGEST HEAD TO THE NAIL AND PREP FOR THE NIGHT. WE HAVE BREAKFAST FIRST.

 NEXT , WE STOP AT MY BROTHER'S HOUSE TO SEE THEIR NEW PUPPY. A COOL LOOKING DOG THAT HAS FEATURES LIKE A RED FOX.

 NEXT , WE GO TO CENTER CITY TO DROP YOUNGEST OFF.

 WHEELS AND I DRIVE BACK HOME AND SETTLE IN. WE HAVE DINNER. I HAVE A SALAD WITH EXTRA CARROTS ON THE SIDE......OH JOY.

 WE START A NEW TV SERIES CALLED PLURIBUS. IT WAS SUGGESTED FROM A COUSIN. SO FAR.......VERY GOOD.  IT HAS A 98% RATING ON ROTTEN TOMATOES AND STARS RHEA SEEHORN FROM BETTER CALL SAUL.

 I HAVE A SMALL BOWL OF MIXED NUTS , 2 SMALL CHUNKS OF CHEESE , AND A SMALL CHOCOLATE PROTEIN BAR.

 WE WATCH THE STEELERS INCREDIBLE GAME WHERE THEY HAD TO HAVE 10 LEAD CHANGES IN THE 4TH QUARTER ALONE.

 OFF TO BED AROUND 10:30PM TO WIND DOWN THE NIGHT. I WATCH THE REST OF THE STEELERS GAME AND FAMILY GUY.

 I PLAY 2 GAMES OF POKER AND HEAD TO BED THINKING......IT BE NICE TO HEAD NORTH.

 OH , IT'S 3:30AM AND I AM GOING TO TRY TO HEAD BACK TO BED WITH THE PUP.

  MONDAY     1 - 5 - 26

 WELP ,THIS WAS A LAST MINUTE DECISION AND I M SO GLAD WE DID.....EXCEPT FOR ONE THING OF COURSE.

 LISTENED TO SETH JOYNER'S EAGLES POSTGAME PODCAST ABOUT THE COACH SITTING HIS PLAYERS OUT AND EAGLES LOSING OUT ON A VERY IMPORTANT 2ND SEED. BOY WAS HE PISSED OFF AND SO WAS I.

 OFF TO THE NAIL TO TRY TO FIX OUR HD TV AND SOME FUZZINESS ON OUR SURVEILLANCE MONITORS. I SPENT 2 HOURS TRYING TO NO AVAIL........BLOW.

  PICK UP MY ELDEST AND WE HEAD HOME.  WE CHILL FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR THOUGH I PUT TRASH OUT AND MORE.

 WE LOAD UP THE VAN AND A 2ND CAR. WE A DECIDED TO JOIN OUR ELDEST HEADING THERE.

 I DRIVE THE VAN WITH THE PUP WHILE ELDEST AND WHEELS ARE IN THE OTHER CAR. WE MAKE GREAT TIME UNNNNNNNNNTIL A MAJOR ACCIDENT LITERALLY IN THE LINCOLN TUNNEL. OH MY GOD !! WE WERE A HALF MILE FROM THE TUNNEL ENTRANCE AND WITH THE 45 MINUTE STOPPAGE THE CARS LINEUP UP BEHIND US AS FAR AS YOUR EYES COULD SEE. IT HAD TO BE A 20 MILE BACK UP. REMEMBER THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE FIELD OF DREAMS AND CARS ARE LINE-UP TO COME TO THE FIELD AND YOU SEE IT VIA A SKY VIEW.......JUST LIKE THAT.

 OUR ELDEST ACTUALLY GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WALKED UP TO ME TO PLAY WITH THE PUP OUTSIDE THE VAN WINDOW. SHE GOT OUT A 2ND TIME TO RETRIEVE A CELL PHONE CHARGER.

 AFTER 40 MINUTES IT JUST TOTALLY OPENED UP. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW FAST IT MOVED BUT WE WERE ONLY 1/2 FROM THE TUNNEL. THE 20 MILES OF TRAFFIC BEHIND US PROBABLY TOOK 30 MORE MINUTES JUST TO START.

 WE ARRIVE AND UNLOAD AND I TEXTED THE FRIEND WHO JUST RENTED FROM US. HE LEFT US A HUGE STEAK , 10 VODKA / TEQUILA HIGH NOONS , BOTTLE OF KETCHUP , BOTTLE OF SYRUP , BAG OF ICE , A COOL WATER FILTER PITCHER , AND A NEW CHOPPING BOARD.

 I WORK UPSTAIRS PUTTING MY BEDROOM TOGETHER AND COMPUTER ONLINE. WHEELS AND ELDEST MAKE AN AWESOME GRILLED STEAK / SAUTÉED SHRIMP DINNER WITH CAULIFLOWER AND CARROTS ON THE SIDE.

 WE SETTLE IN AND START A MOVIE CALLED PLAY DATE BUT WE DID STOP IT AFTER 30 MINUTES. IT WAS OKAY AND MADE US LAUGH A LITTLE BIT. WE WERE ALL PRETTY TIRED.

 I HEAD TO BED AROUND 10PM AND SETTLE IN TO WATCH TV FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR. I SLEPT OK TO NOT SO OKAY.

 I DID HAVE A DREAM MY 2 KIDS AND I COULD NOT GET TO THE FLOOR ABOVE US TO OUR HOME BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION AND PAINTING. THE ELEVATOR WAS NOT ACCESSIBLE.  WE WALKED AND TRIPPED OVER RUBBLE TO TRY TO FIND CARDBOARD OR SOMETHING TO SLEEP ON FOR THE NIGHT...........dream ends. 

  TUESDAY    1 - 6 - 26

 29 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF OWNING THE NAIL. MAN , WERE THE ODDS AGAINST US. IF YOU LIKE TO READ ABOUT MY PAIN OF PURCHASING THE NAIL SCROLL ALL THE WAY UP. IT IS ABOUT A 10 MINUTE READ. I CAN NOT READ IT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT BRINGS BACK TOO MUCH PAIN , ANGER , BACK STABBING , AND SORROW.

 I DID DO A SOCIAL MEDIA POST ABOUT OUR 29TH ANNIVERSARY WHERE PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS A BIRTHDAY. DID THEY THINK I WAS OR THE NAIL WAS 29 YEARS OLD ?

 OKAY , BACK TO MY DAY. THIS MORNING I WAS ON EMAIL PATROL FOR A SOLID 6 HOURS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE BAND EMAILS COMING IN. IT WAS TIME CONSUMING BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT A LIVE MUSIC VENUE WANTS.

 NEIGHBOR STOPS BY WITH HIS DOG TO SAY HELLO.

 IT IS CONFIRMED PLOY , A WHEELSTOCK BAND AND PLAYED THE NAIL MANY TIMES 20 YEARS AGO , WILL DO A SHOW ON SATURDAY MARCH 14TH.

 NEXT WE DRIVE TO LOCAL THRIFTWAY MARKET FOR DINNER SUPPLIES. OUR ELDEST WILL BE MAKING CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS.

 BACK HOME WE SETTLE IN AND GO BACK TO MY COMPUTER.

 BY DINNER TIME WE ARE HAVING WINE WITH A CHICKEN DUMPLING SOUP. IT WAS REALLY GOOD. WE PLAYED MUSIC AND CHILLED. I MADE THEM LAUGH NON-STOP.

 2 COUSINS CALL ME TO GO OUT TO DINNER THIS WEEK. ANOTHER COUSIN TEXTING ME ABOUT BANGING.....LOL.

 SAW A LOAN DEER IN UR BACK YARD.......JUST SOMETHING COOL ABOUT IT.

 WE WATCH A WHO DUNNIT MOVIE WITH A SHIT LOAD OF FAMOUS ACTORS. IT WAS CALLED WAKE UP DEAD MAN : A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY. IT WAS GOOD TO VERY GOOD. 92% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES AND A 7.4 OUT OF 10 ON IMdB. JOSH BROLIN WAS EXCELLENT AND STOLE ALL THE SCENES HE WAS IN.

 BY 10:15PM WHEELS AND ELDEST HEAD TO BED. I WATCH HOGAN'S HEROES ( CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF SCHULTZ ) , PLAY POKER , AND CHECK EMAILS. I ALSO SNUGGLED WITH THE PUP.

 PUP HAVING FUN PLAYING WITH OUR ELDEST. SHE IS JUST TOO FUNNY.

 TRUMP BECOMES FIRST PRESIDENT TO BOMB 8 COUNTRIES AND HE DID IT IN LESS THAN 10 MONTHS. QUITE A FEAT FOR A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE NOMINEE.

 ICE AGENT SHOOTS WOMAN IN THE FACE AND KILLS HER WHEN SHE JUST DROPPED OFF HER ONLY DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL. THE AGENT CLAIMED SELF DEFENSE FROM HER VEHICLE BEING TOO CLOSE AND TRYING TO "ESCAPE". WATCH THE VIDEO......YOU MAKE THE DECISION.

 TRUMP NOW WANTS GREENLAND. YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP. I KEEP THINKING WHEN HITLER WAS SAYING HE WAS DOING SO MUCH GOOD FOR HIS PEOPLE AND THEY LOVED HIM.........UNTIL THEY FOUND OUT THE TRUTH LIKE DEATH CAMPS AND INVADING POLAND. BUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTT WHO CARES RIGHT ?

 THIS IS A NEW ONE. WHITE OFFICIALS SAYS EPSTEIN WAS TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT DONALD TRUMP IN HIS EMAILS. OH............MY..........GOD. WE COULD BE THE DUMBEST NATION EVER. WELL , AT LEAST HALF OF US.

 THE THREE OF US HEAD TO A LOCAL PUB CALLED TAVERN ON THE TRAIL. THE FOOD IS VERY GOOD , PRICES GOOD , AND BARTENDER IS VERY ENTERTAINING.

 WE TOOK TWO CARS AND ELDEST HEADS HOME FROM PUB WHILE WE HEAD BACK TO HOUSE.

 ELDEST CALLS US 5 MINUTES LATER SAYING A GUY CAME HEAD ON IN HER TURNING LANE TRYING TO GET ON TURNPIKE. SHE HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKES AND LEAN ON THE HORN. ALL THE FOOD SHE SAVED FOR BOYFRIEND WENT FLYING ON THE CAR'S FLOOR.

 I HEAD TO BED AND SLEEP. WELL , IS THIS OKAY ? FELL ASLEEP A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT TO 2:30AM. THAN FELL ASLEEP AGAIN UNTIL 5AM , THAN FELL ASLEEP UNTIL 7:30AM. I WAS UP EVERY 2 1/2 HOURS AND USED BATHROOM EVERY TIME AND DRANK A LITTLE WATER. I GUESS IF YOU TOTAL IT THE SLEEP COMES TO 7 1/2 HOURS.

 I HAD 3 DREAMS EACH TIME AND FORGET THEM ALL.

  THURSDAY      1 - 8 - 26

  RENEE NICOLE GOOD WAS MURDERED. IF YOU SEE IT ANY OTHER WAY YOU ARE WRONG AND HAVE LITTLE TO NO EMPATHY. I DO NOT CARE WHAT FUCKING EXCUSING YOU THINK. YOU ARE , AS A HUMAN , FUCKING WRONG.

  - HER VEHICLE WAS NOT DIRECTLY COMING AT THE I.C.E. AGENT. HE FIRED 3 SHOTS AT HER FUCKING FACE. TWO SHOTS WERE WHEN THE VEHICLE PAST HIM.

 - WHY NOT SHOOT THE TIRES ? OR DO NOTHING ? AGENTS COULD OF JUST FOLLOWED HER VEHICLE. I MEAN HOW FUCKING FAR IS A MOM GOING TO GET ?

 - 20 AGENTS BEHIND AND NEAR YOU WITH GUNS AND ARMOR AND YOU WERE AFRAID FOR YOUR LIFE ?

 - I.C.E. AGENT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL ? FOR WHAT ? HE WALKED TO HIS CAR WHILE OTHER I.C.E. AGENTS WALKED AWAY FROM HIM. THEY INSTANTLY KNEW HE DREW A WEAPON WRONGLY.

 - THERE IS A LAW THAT POLICE OR ANY AGENTS OF GOVERNMENT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DISCHARGE A WEAPON ON A MOVING VEHICLE. THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE TAUGHT THIS !!

 - VANCE SAID , " SHE BROUGHT THIS ON HERSELF. " THERE WAS AN I.C.E. SHOOTING JUST WEEKS PRIOR. WHO IN THEIR FUCKING RIGHT MIND WOULD NOT BE FRIGHTENED WHEN THEY COME AT YOU. THIS WOMEN HAD TO BE COMPLETELY IN TERROR AND PANICKED TO GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.

 - THERE ARE 5 ANGLES OF THE VIDEO. ALL ABSOLUTELY SHOW SHE TURNED HER TIRES RIGHT TO AVOID ANY CONTACT. USE YOUR FUCKING EYES PEOPLE !!

 - THIS YOUNG MOTHER JUST DROPPED HER ONLY DAUGHTER OFF AT SCHOOL JUST BLOCKS AWAY.

 IF YOU SEE THE SIDE OF THE GOVERNMENT YOU ARE A FUCKING HEARTLESS FUCKING PERSON. THERE IS A REASON THOUSANDS ARE MARCHING AND VIGILING THIS MURDER IN STATES ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WHAT FUCKING SIDE ARE YOU ON ?

 TRUMP NOW WANTS GREENLAND. PEOPLE C'MON , WHAT DO YOU SEE ?

 TRUMP BOMBS AND STEALS VENEZUELA RUTHLESS PRESIDENT FOR THE COMMON GOOD BECAUSE THE GUY IS A VICIOUS PERSON. ONE WEEK LATER TRUMP ANNOUNCES THE U.S. WILL TAKE OVER ALL OIL PRODUCTION. PEOPLE C'MON , WHAT DO YOU SEE ? IT'S NOT FUCKING HARD TO PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER ?

 SO NOW MY MEANINGLESS DAY.

 I CONTINUE TO RESPOND TO EMAILS AND POST SOME SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF.

 AT 1PM I HEAD TO THE LOCAL VET HERE FOR OUR PUP'S ANNUAL CHECK UP AND MORE. MY GOD THE MEDIATION IS EXPENSIVE. ONE TINY BOTTLE FOR HER ASS WAS $66. THE DOCTOR AND TECH WERE SUPER COOL AND I THINK OUR PUP GOT ABOUT A 1/2 POUND OF PEANUT BUTTER AND TREATS.

 BACK HOME I NOTICE OUR VAN IS SMOKING AND HAS AN OIL-LIKE SMELL. THIS IS NOT GOOD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS BUT A DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT NEVER COMES ON. WE WILL SEE ON THE RIDE HOME.

 I BEGIN MY SMALL PROJECTS. I HAD A LIST OF 15 AND GOT DONE 14.

 ANOTHER PROJECT WAS CALLING FRIENDS OF MY MOM WHO ARE ATTENDING HER 90TH BIRTHDAY. OUT OF ALL THE CALLS...............2 CALLED ME BACK. I CONSIDER THIS BORDERLINE FUCKING IGNORANT.

 WHEELS MAKES A NICE CHICKEN DINNER. WE HAVE SOME WINE , LISTEN TO MUSIC , AND I MAKE HER LAUGH. THIS IS DONE ALMOST EVERY NIGHT.

 WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH 3 EPISODES OF PLURIBUS. WE FINISH SEASON 1 AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TV SERIES. IT IS KINDA LIKE LAST MAN ON EARTH TV SERIES MEETS A VERY NICE BORG. YOU MUST ASSIMILATE.

 WE ALSO WATCH AN EPISODE OF LANDMAN. THIS HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TOO.

 YOUNGEST ATTENDS A HUGE CONVENTION IN WASHINGTON WITH 2 FELLOW WORKERS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW BIG IT IS AND THEIR HOTEL IS RIGHT ON THE WATER.

 WHEELS HEADS TO BED RIGHT AS WE HAVE TO PUT POWDER ON OUR PUP'S VAGINA. YEP , THIS ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE MY JOB. SHE IS LICKING HER VAG SO THE VET GAVE US SOME OINTMENT.

 I CHECK EMAILS , PLAY POKER , AND WATCH SOME TV. ANOTHER TV SERIES THAT I THINK IS GOOD WAS THE DREW CAREY SHOW.

 OFF TO BED AND SLEPT DECENT. I ONLY GOT UP ONCE.

 DREAMT ABOUT MY YOUNGEST AND I ATTENDING A HOCKEY GAME. WITH ABOUT 5 MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME ALL THE STADIUM OVERHEAD LIGHTS WENT ON AND THE ANNOUNCER SAYS , " AN UNKNOWN PERSON JUST BURST THROUGH EMERGENCY DOORS PLEASE VACANT THE BUILDING."  WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT ON EVERYONE AND I MEAN EVERYONE SIMULTANEOUSLY CROUCHED DOWN BEHIND THE SEAT IN FRONT OF THEM.

 CONTINUED - PEOPLE WERE PANICKING AND RUSHING OUT ISLES. I TOLD MY DAUGHTER TO STAY PUT FOR A MINUTE. WE ARE ON THE 2ND LEVEL AND FIRST ROW AND I SEE A GUY WITH AN ASSAULT RIFLE. HE BEGINS YELLING AND SHOOTING AT THE JUMBOTRON WITH THIS AUTOMATIC WEAPON. I TELL ME DAUGHTER , " OH MY GOD , HE IS GOING TO KILL SO MANY PEOPLE , I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING , GET DOWN ".  SHE HIDES BEHIND THE FRONT WALL WHILE I STAND ON THE EDGE LOOKING DOWN AT THE SHOOTER. HE IS RELOADING HIS GUN AND LOOKING DOWN. I DECIDE TO JUMP FROM THE 2ND FLOOR AND LAND ON TOP OF HIM. I MAKE THE " CANNON BALL " POSITION AND LAND SQUARE ON HIS SHOULDERS. HIS FACE SLAMS A SEAT AND THAN THE CONCRETE STEPS. I SEE BLOOD EVERYWHERE.................dream ends.

  FRIDAY    1 - 9 - 26

 AFTER A WEEK IN THE POCONOS MY DIET WAS NOT THE BEST BUT NOT THE WORST EITHER BUT......I HAD TO SERVE " PENANCE " WHICH I AM VERY SURPRISED I DO IT KINDA EASILY.

 PENANCE = NO FOOD , SNACKS , OR BOOZE FOR 24 HOURS.

 I LOST A 1/2 POUND WHICH I'LL TAKE AFTER A WEEK ON VACATION. MOST LIKELY I GAINED AT LEAST 3 POUNDS.

 MY NORMAL MORNING BUT BY 10AM I AM CLEANING , PACKING , LOADING , AND PREPPING FOR DEPARTURE. IT IS SO FRICKIN' BEAUTIFUL HERE. BY 11:30AM WE ARE ON THE ROAD. WE MAKE GOOD TIME AND CALL SOME FAMILY.

 ARCADE TECH STOPS BY OUR HOUSE JUST AFTER WE LEFT AND FIXES OUT DIG DUG MACHINE.  LABOR , NEW MOTHER BOARD , AND PARTS - $360. I KNOW THIS IS A LITTLE EXPENSIVE BUT HIM HAVING THE MOTHER BOARD ON HIS TRUCK WAS PRETTY BIG. LAST TIME I HAD TO DRIVE TO DELAWARE TO HAVE IT FIXED.

  AT HOME WE SETTLE IN. I HAVE TO ADMIT IT IS NICE TO BE BACK BUT MAN I COULD OF STAYED LONGER UP NORTH.

 BACK TO WORK ON THE COMPUTER AND DONE BY 5PM. WHEELS BRINGS A PIZZA TO HER BROTHER'S HOUSE SINCE HE HAD A KNEE SURGERY AGAIN. OH AND HE FACE PLANTED ENTERING HIS HOME TWO DAYS AGO.

 TEXTING WITH YOUNGEST. SEEMS LIKE THIS GAMING CONVENTION IS REALLY COOL. A CONCERT WAS HELD AND THE STAGE WAS HUGE AND THE CROWD EVEN BIGGER.

 I DROP 3 BARTENDERS TO 2 BECAUSE OF RAIN AND HEAD LINE BAND HAD THEIR DRUMMER QUIT 6 HOURS BEFORE THE SHOW TONIGHT.

 WE HAVE A STEADY CROWD AND PEOPLE WERE VERY COOL. I ENJOYED THE NIGHT AND PLAYED WITH PATRONS MOST OF THE TIME. MY NEPHEW STOPPED BY TOO.

 HAPPY FOR INDIANA FANS FOR THEIR COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM SMOKED OREGON. THEY MOVE TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP. I AM CHEERING FOR THEM SINCE THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A CHAMPIONSHIP LET ALONE WIN ONE.

 76ERS WITH A SOLID WIN.

 LAST NIGHT THE FLYERS HAD A HEARTBREAKING LOSS IN OVERTIME. THE REFS DID NOT HELP. JEREMY ROENIK WENT OFF ABOUT IT.

 HOME AROUND 1AM AND I TRY TO WATCH THE NEW SEASON OF FALLOUT. MAN , DURING THE RECAP I PRETTY MUCH FORGET EVERYTHING.

  SATURDAY      1 - 10 - 26

 ANOTHER DAY , ANOTHER SHOW , AND ANOTHER FUN NIGHT.

 BUT FIRST LET'S START WITH 2+ HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH COMCAST. YEP , THIS WAS FUN. WE KEEP GETTING CHARGED WHEN WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ON A " SEASONAL " PLAN. THIS IS 3 MONTHS IN A ROW FIGHTING THIS CHARGE.......SO FRUSTRATING.

 ELDEST COMES OVER FOR LUNCH. WE CHILLED A BIT.

 WHEELS TEXTING A FAMILY MEMBER IN PRAGUE........KINDA COOL.

 SOME PHENOMENAL PLAYOFF FOOTBALL GAMES. UNFORTUNATELY , BOTH GAMES DID NOT HELP THE EAGLES WITH A 2ND HOME GAME. I AM ONLY HOPING THERE IS A SILVER LINING IN THERE SOMEWHERE LIKE THE EAGLES NOT LOOKING PAST FIRST GAME AGAINST THE 49ERS TOMORROW.

 I TEXTED FAMILY AND SOME FRIENDS DURING BOTH NFL GAMES.

 BARTENDER LETS ME USE HER AMAZON PRIME ACCOUNT AGAIN TO WATCH BEARS VS PACKERS GAME. MAN , HOW MUCH DID AMAZON PRIME PAY TO BE THE EXCLUSIVE STREAMER ? I'LL TELL YA......120 MILLION DOLLARS.  THEY SPEND 1 BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY FOR NFL GAMES TO BE STREAMED ON THEIR SERVER. UN........FUCKING........BELIEVABLE.

 FLYERS.......GET SMOKED.

 I HEAD TO THE NAIL LATE MORNING TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT. THIS RAIN IS NOT HELPING.

 BACK HOME I SETTLE IN. MY ELDEST MADE ME TWO BURGERS.....NO BREAD , CONDIMENTS , OR KETCHUP.

 FOR DINNER I HAD 8 SMALL MEATBALLS WITH NO CHEESE.

 OFF TO THE NAIL TO LOAD THE BANDS IN. BY 7:40PM THE SHOW STARTS. BANDS WERE GOOD AND PEOPLE WERE COOL.

 A 3 BAND NIGHT SO WE WERE DONE PRETTY EARLY.  BY 12 MIDNIGHT WE START OUR CLOSE AND BY 12:30AM I WAS OUT THE DOOR.

  OH , THE BATHROOM CEILING WAS LEAKING AGAIN.........BLOW.

 I WATCH SOME SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE AND FINISH THE FIRST EPISODE OF FALLOUT. IT WAS GOOD.

 I DID HAVE SOME PEANUTS AND 2 COKE ZEROES. THE NEXT MORNING I GAINED WEIGHT. IT AMAZES ME HOW FAT I AM AND THE LITTLE STUFF I ATE ALL FUCKING DAY AND NIGHT AND I GAIN FUCKING WEIGHT ? .........UNBELIEVABLE.

    SUNDAY        1 - 11 - 26

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY - WHAT CAY I SAY ?.............ALOT.

 WE BUILT A FAMILY , A LAKEFRONT HOME , A NIGHTCLUB , AND SO MUCH MORE , AND TO THIS DAY I HAVE NOT MET A MORE BEAUTIFUL , HONEST , GENUINE , CONSIDERATE , PURE OF HEART PERSON.

 I HAVE MET A TON OF PEOPLE IN MY LIFE AND NOT ONE PERSON EVER SAID ANYTHING SLIGHTLY DISCOURAGING ABOUT HER. IT'S BORDERLINE AMAZING HOW GENUINELY KIND SHE IS. IF YOU EVER MET HER YOU WOULD AGREE. I MEAN C'MON.....EVEN DOLPHINS KNOW. ( THERE IS A PICTURE OF WHEELS HUGGING A DOLPHIN )

  WHEELS , HAPPY BIRTHDAY KID - LOVE BIG DADDY

 OH......ONE MORE THING.......EAGLES BLOW.

 TO SAY THIS WAS A HEARTBREAKING LOSS WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. FIRST , VEGAS HAD THE EAGLES AS A 6 1/2 POINT FAVORITE. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ? THE " EXPERTS " ALL HAD THEM WINNING BIG. WITH THIS OFFENSE AND PLAY CALLING ???!!! I WOULD OF BET THE HOUSE ON THE 49ERS WITH 6 1/2 POINTS.

 OH , HOW WAS THAT RESTING THE PLAYERS THING GO ? AND GIVING THE 2ND SEED TO CHICAGO. THE 49ERS WERE THE MOST BANGED UP TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS AND THEY SMOKED US.........DISGUSTING LOSS.  NOT ONE TIME DURING THE GAME DID I FEEL WE WERE GOING TO WIN......NOT FUCKING ONCE.

 OH , ONE MORE TIME , EVERY GAME IN PLAYOFFS THE TEAM WITH THE BALL LAST WON......EXCEPT THE BLOW EAGLES......BLOW.

 DRIVE WHEELS TO AIRPORT FOR HER HOME OFFICE IS HAVING MEETINGS AND MORE.

 BACK HOME I WATCH THE GAME UNTIL HALFTIME THAN ROLL TO THE NAIL FOR A 3 BAND NIGHT. IT WAS A CHILL NIGHT BUT I DID ENJOY THE BANDS AND MUSICIANS.

 BACK HOME I HANG WITH THE PUP AND START ANOTHER EPISODE OF FALLOUT. IT WAS GOOD.

 I WAS SO PISSED FROM THE EAGLES LOSS I BROKE MY LATE NIGHT SNACK RULE OF NOT EATING ANYTHING. I HAD CHEESE , PRETZELS , AND SELTZER WATER. THE NEXT MORNING I WEIGHED MYSELF AND I GAINED A POUND.........BLOW.

  MONDAY      1 - 12 - 26

 OKAY THE EAGLES ARE OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS AND IT WILL TAKE ME WEEKS TO GET OVER IT BUT AT LEAST I HAVE THE STEELERS TO WATCH.

 TALK TO WHEELS BEFORE HER PRESENTATION IN FRONT OF 700 PEOPLE. SHE IS A LITTLE NERVOUS. I ALSO SAW HER HOTEL VIEW FROM THE TOP FLOOR OVER LOOKING THE CITY , RIVER , AND TRUMP PLAZA.

 9AM MEET WITH A SURVEILLANCE TECH. HE COULD NOT FIX MY CAMERAS. OF COURSE HE COULDN'T. WELP , THERE GOES $150 OUT THE WINDOW.

  CONTACTED A FB MARKET PLACE GUY FOR 5 OUTSIDE BLINK CAMERAS BRAND NEW IN THE BOX. I TOLD HIM I GET BACK TO HIM TODAY. ONE HOUR LATER.......I RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION , " THE CAMERAS HAVE SOLD ".

 OFF TO THE NAIL TO MEET A CREDIT CARD REP. SHE WAS SUPER COOL AND THE 1 1/2 HOUR PRESENTATION WAS THE SHORT VERSION. I BROUGHT MY PUP WITH ME AND SHE LATER EMAILED ME A PICTURE OF HER DOG.  THE EXPENSE OF CHANGING OVER ALL STARTED WHEN A DRUNK PATRON WANTED HIS MONEY BACK AFTER DRINKING 4 BEERS.....AND WON.

 SO , IF YOU GO OUT TO DINNER JUST ASK FOR A REFUND WHEN YOUR DONE EATING AND DRINKING. THAN COMPLAIN TO YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND THEY WILL TAKE YOUR SIDE OVER THE RESTAURANT NO MATTER WHAT OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THE RESTAURANT GIVES. IMAGINE FUCKING THAT ??!!

 BY 4PM I WAS TOO TIRED TO WORK AT THE NAIL SO THE PUP AND I ROLLED HOME.  I TALKED AGAIN WITH MY YOUNGEST ABOUT HER MAGTRON EXPERIENCE. IT WAS EYE OPENING THAT OVER 25,000+ PEOPLE ATTENDED......EACH DAY !!

 MEALS OF THE DAY - MULTI-GRAIN WHEAT BREAD WITH CREAM CHEESE AND BLUEBERRIES , 2 BURGERS WITH CHEESE AND SPAGHETTI SAUCE , AND A RASPBERRY FIG BAR. I ALSO STARTED WALKING ON OUR STAIR TREADMILL. I LOST MINUSCULE WEIGHT AND I'LL TAKE IT.

 FLYERS LOSE AGAIN BIG TO THE SAME TEAM.

 76ERS GET REVENGE AFTER CRUSHING LOSS AND WIN BIG TONIGHT.

 STEELERS KEPT IT CLOSE UNTIL THE END WHERE THEY WERE JUST WERE OVERMATCHED ESPECIALLY ON DEFENSE. RODGERS LOOKED LIKE A LOST SHEEP.

 WATCHED ANOTHER EPISODE OF FALLOUT. IT WAS GOOD.

 SLEPT PRETTY GOOD AND HAD A REALLY COOL DREAM I TOTALLY FORGOT.

  TUESDAY      1 - 13 - 26

 IT WOULD OF BEEN NICE IF IT WORKED. MY LOW TIRE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR SO. THE CAR GOT INSPECTED AND A NEW TIRE PLACED ON IT. BUT.....THE LOW TIRE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I GOOGLE IT AND LO AND BEHOLD A SMALL BUTTON UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL JUST NEEDS TO BE HELD DOWN TO RESET IT.  I DID THIS PROCEDURE 11 TIMES AND NOT ONCE DID IT WORK.........SO CLOSE.

 LOST A LITTLE WEIGHT AND WALKED ON THE STAIR TREADMILL AGAIN. TODAY'S MEALS WERE A VERY SMALL LEFTOVER STEAK-UM WITH PROVOLONE  , A SMALL STEAK , YOGURT , SEA SALT PEANUTS WITH PEANUT BUTTER , AND 16 OUNCES OF HYDROXY CUT. I AM JUST AMAZED MORE WEIGHT DOESN'T MELT OFF WITH EATING JUST THOSE THINGS. I MENA HOW CAN THIS LITTLE FOOD SUPPORT A 300 POUND PERSON ?

 OFF TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE WEEK. ALOT OF VACUUMING AND CHANGING THE MARQUEE.

 DID THE BLOG , EMAILS , AND MORE.

 SURFED FB MARKETPLACE AGAIN AND LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A DEAL FOR 4 OUTDOOR BLINK CAMERAS. WE WILL SEE ON FRIDAY.

 A.J. BROWN IS THE NEW SPONSOR FOR THE CANDY BAR BUTTERFINGERS. HOW APPROPRIATE IS THAT ??!!

 TALK TO YOUNGEST FOR A BIT AND ELDEST STOPS OVER WITH BOYFRIEND TO MAKE PIZZAS. I BROUGHT PIZZA SHELLS AND PEPPERONI HOME FOR THEM. I NEVER GOT ONE SLICE.

 SETTLE IN AND WATCH 2 MOVIES. I ACTUALLY WAS ENTERTAINED BY BOTH. THEY GOT 87% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES. THEY WERE CALLED BECKY AND WRATH OF BECKY. THEY ARE LOW RATED " B " MOVIES AND REVENGE IS THE THEME WHICH MADE IT FUN WHEN BAD GUYS GET RUN OVER BY LAWN MOWERS AND OUTDOOR BOAT MOTORS.

 PLACED 2 CUT UP MATTRESSES AT THE CURB AND HOPING TOWNSHIP WILL TAKE THEM AGAIN. WALKED THE PUP AND HEADED TO MY BEDROOM TO END THE NIGHT. I USUALLY WATCH THE DAILY SHOW , HOGAN'S HEROES , FAMILY GUY , FUTURAMA , AND / OR AND THE NEWS WHILE PLAYING SOME POKER.

 A PERSON CALLED TRUMP A " PEDOPHILE PROTECTOR " WAS IN THE NEWS TODAY.  TRUMP SCREAMED BACK " FUCK YOU " AND GAVE THE GUY THE FINGER. GO TRUMP !!

  WEDNESDAY       1 - 14 - 26

 THE CAR MANUFACTURER WORKER WHO WAS LET GO FOR CALLING TRUMP A " PEDOPHILE PROTECTOR " APPARENTLY HAS NO REGRETS. OH , SOMEONE STARTED A GO-FUND-ME PAGE FOR HIM. AS OF LAST NIGHT IT REACHED $350,000 AND STILL GOING.

 TRUMP NOW WANTS GREENLAND.  HE WAS QUOTED , " WE WILL TAKE IT NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY ".  GO TRUMP !! BEST PRESIDENT EVER !!  TRUMP HAS BOMBED 8 COUNTRIES SO FAR. THIS IS THE MOST ANY PRESIDENT EVER DID. WHAT'S COOL....TRUMP DID IT IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR. MAN , HE IS SETTING ALL KINDS OF RECORDS.

 REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP SAID HE WAS GOING TO GIVE $2,000 CHECK TO EVERY AMERICAN ? HE THAN SAID HE'LL MAKE THE CHECK TO $1776 TO REFERENCE THE START OF OUR NATION. WELL , TODAY , HE WAS ASKED IS THERE AN UPDATE ON THIS CHECK FOR THE PEOPLE AND HIS RESPONSE , " WHEN DID I SAY THAT ? "

 TRIED NEW MEALS - SLICED DELI TURKEY ON A SUPER THIN CREPE FRENCH STYLE PANINI BREAD. I SPREAD A THIN COAT OF CREAM CHEESE AND CUT THEM INTO SMALL STROMBOLI-LIKE PIECES. IT WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD. I ALSO DID THIS WITH JUST CREAM CHEESE LATER. SNACKS WERE 2 SMALL PROTEIN BARS AND A BOWL OF SEA SALT / NO BUTTER ORVILLE REDENBACHER POPCORN. I ENDED THE NIGHT WITH A MEDIUM ROCKS GLASS OF GIN AND ZERO EVERYTHING STRAWBERRY SELTZER.

  NOW , WAS THESE THINGS I ATE ALOT OF CALORIES ? APPARENTLY YES......THE NEXT MORNING I WEIGHED MYSELF AND GAINED 2 POUNDS. HOW IN THE F'N WORLD CAN THIS SMALL AMOUNT OF FOOD AND DRINK GAIN WEIGHT ON A 300 POUND PERSON ? I JUST DON'T GET IT.

 OH I DID THE STAIRCASE TREADMILL AGAIN. APPARENTLY IT DOES DICK.

 I ALSO WORKED UPSTAIRS FOR ABOUT 90 MINUTES. WE ARE RE-DOING CARPETS AND PAINT.

 TALK TO WHEELS AFTER SHE GAVE HER SPEECH IN FRONT OF AN AUDITORIUM OF 800 PEOPLE. SHE WAS PRETTY NERVOUS. HER HOTEL IS OVER THE TOP EXTRAVAGANT AND SHE SAID EVERYTHING FROM START TO FINISH WAS SUPER PROFESSIONAL. HER COMPANY OOZES MONEY. IMAGINE THE COST TO FEED 800 PEOPLE IN A TOP TIER HOTEL ?

 MOSTLY A CHILL DAY TODAY. I WATCHED A 2017 MOVIE CALLED GOOD TIME. AS FAR AS TECHNOLOGY IT WAS NOT EVEN IN COMPARISON TO THINGS DONE TODAY BUT , IT WAS NON-STOP CHAOS.  THE REVIEWS WERE UP AND DOWN AND ROTTEN TOMATOES WAS 75% WHICH IS NOT BAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY TO A LITTLE BETTER THAN OKAY.

 SPENT A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME EMAILING AND POSTING SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF FOR THE BANDS THIS WEEKEND.

 76ERS BLOW

 FLYERS BLOW

 RANGER SUAREZ TRADED TO BOSTON RED SOX......BLOW.

 I WATCHED 1 1/2 EPISODES OF FALLOUT. IT WAS GOOD. I GOT TIRED AROUND 10PM AND HEADED TO THE BEDROOM TO CHECK EMAILS , PLAY POKER , AND WATCH ANOTHER HOUR OF TV.

 BY 11PM I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP. ANOTHER COOL DREAM I FORGOT.

  THURSDAY     1 - 15 - 26

 MY BARTENDER HAS BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO LOSE WEIGHT AND BE HEALTHIER. TONIGHT SHE SAID , " IT'S A GOOD FEELING KNOWING I CAN TAKE CONTROL OF MY BODY AND LIFE ". I THOUGHT THIS SHORT STATEMENT TO ME WAS MORE IN-DEPTH WITH MEANING ESPECIALLY THE WAY THE WORLD IS TODAY. I MEAN ANYONE COULD USE THIS STATEMENT ON ALL LIFE'S SITUATIONS.

 POLITICAL POSTS ARE EXHAUSTING. 95% YOU CAN'T BELIEVE. THE EXACT SAME STORY IS TOLD COMPLETELY OPPOSITE IF WATCHING CNN TO FOX NEWS , AND NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING WILL EVER GET DONE OR CHANGED UNTIL THE NEXT ELECTION 3 VERY VERY LONG YEARS FROM NOW.

 SO , I SET-UP A MEETING IN PHILLY TO PICK UP SOME CAMERAS TOMORROW. IT WORKED OUT NICE SO NOW I WILL PICK UP MY YOUNGEST TOO. I GET A TEXT AT 6:30AM , " I FORGOT THE CAMERAS GOING TO WORK TODAY.......SORRY NEED TO RE-SCHEDULE. " I LITERALLY TEXTED HIM LAST NIGHT AT 9:30PM AND HE FORGOT IN THE MORNING.

 I CONTINUE THIS HEALTH KICK BY WALKING ON A STAIR STEP TREADMILL AND TRYING TO EAT HEALTHY. TODAY I MADE SOME CHICKEN TERIYAKI AND WHEELS ADDED SPINACH AND BROWN RICE.

 SPEAKING OF WHEELS I PICKED HER UP AT THE AIRPORT TODAY. THE STORIES SHE TOLD ME OF THIS EVENT , DINNERS , HAPPY HOURS , HOTEL , THE COMPANY , CO-WORKERS , AND HER SPEAKING IN FRONT OF 800 PEOPLE WAS DOWN RIGHT AMAZING AND INCREDIBLY IMPRESSIVE. SHE TOLD ME HER COMPANY IS THE TOP 10 LARGEST IN THE.....................WORLD.

 AT HOME WE HAVE DINNER AND WHEELS SHOWS ME PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE 4 DAY EVENT. THE MONEY THAT OOZES FROM THIS COMPANY IS HEAD RATTLING.

 OFF TO THE NAIL TO HOST ANOTHER COMEDY SHOW. IT ACTUALLY GOT PRETTY BUSY WHERE I HAD TO MOVE FROM THE DOOR TO THE KITCHEN FOR SO MANY FOOD ORDERS.

 COMICS WERE FUN , PEOPLE WERE COOL , AND OUR BARTENDER IS ALWAYS FUN TO HANG WITH.

 FLYERS LOSE AGAIN .......BLOW.

 AT HOME AROUND 11:30PM AND I DECIDE TO JUST GO TO BED. NO LATE NIGHT TV , SNACKS , BOOZE , COMPUTER , OR POKER. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD THIS IS FOR ME.

  ASKING SELLER ON EBAY WHERE IS MY ORDER FOR 2 WEEKS. I DECIDE TO ORDER THE SAME PRODUCT VIA WALMART YESTERDAY. I TALKED TO AN EBAY REP VIA CHAT.  IT WAS AN EXCELLENT DECISION AS WALMART IMMEDIATELY SAID YOUR PRODUCT WILL BE DELIVERED ON SATURDAY. THIS MORNING THE EBAY REP EMAILED ME SAYING YOUR PRODUCT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO INACTIVITY FROM THE SELLER. YOUR MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED.

 SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT WITHOUT USING THE BATHROOM. WELL , " SLEPT THROUGH " IS NOT REALLY RIGHT WORDING. I SHOULD WRITE , " I NEVER GOT OUT OF BED THROUGH THE NIGHT ". THIS IS HUGE.

  OH , I LOST ALITTLE MORE WEIGHT. I HAVE TOUGH FOOD/BOOZE HURDLES COMING UP THIS WEEKEND TO JUMP BECAUSE WE ARE CELEBRATING WHEELS BIRTHDAY WITH A DINNER AND MY MOM'S HUGE BIRTHDAY FAMILY GET TOGETHER OF NEARLY 75 PEOPLE AT A GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB.  CRAP......THIS WILL MAKE ME SO MUCH FATTER.

  FRIDAY      1 - 16 - 26

 TREADMILL , FASTING , AND THAN A WONDERFUL ASIAN DINNER FOR WHEEL'S BIRTHDAY.

 EBAY ORDER WAS CANCELLED AFTER 3 WEEKS , WALMART ORDER ARRIVED IN 2 DAYS.

 DECIDED TO SPEND SOME TIME WORKING UPSTAIRS AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS I RAN OUT OF SPEED.

 - I GOT THICK FOAM AND DRYWALL FROM MY GARAGE. BROUGHT ALL IF IT UPSTAIRS. I ASKED WHEELS TO HELP AND SHE SAID NO.

 - BROUGHT ALL PAINT , SPACKLE , AND SUPPLIES UPSTAIRS FROM BASEMENT.

 - DUSTED COBWEBS OF A BEDROOM AND 2 CLOSETS.

 - SOME OPEN WALLS I INSERTED THICK FOAM AS INSULATION.

 - RE-DRYWALLED A LARGE CLOSET.

 I RAN OUT OF SPEED SO I AM LEFT WITH SOME PATCHING DRYWALL IN A SMALLER CLOSET. I WILL THAN START SPACKLING AND THAN PAINT. WHEELS AND I PICKED OUT COLORS. THIS WHOLE PROJECT SO FAR HAS BEEN FREE.

 YOUNGEST COMES HOME AND WE CHILL FOR A BIT.

 I DO LEGWORK FOR ELDEST ON JOB HUNTING . I SPENT A SOLID 2 HOURS.

 OFF TO DINNER BUT FIRST STOP AT THE BANK TO GET SOME QUARTERS AND 5 DOLLAR BILLS. OF COURSE THE DRIVE-THRU SAID THEY WERE TOO BUSY AND TO JUST GO INSIDE.

 TAO ONE ASIAN CUISINE - FOOD AND PRICE WERE VERY GOOD AT THIS BYOB RESTAURANT. WHEELS AND YOUNGEST HAVE BEEN HERE TWICE BEFORE. FOOD WAS VERY GOOD , PORTIONS WERE OKAY TO GOOD , PRICE VERY GOOD , AND UNFORTUNATELY SERVICE WAS SLOW BECAUSE THEY GOT BUSY. LUCKILY , WE WERE THE FIRST ONES THERE AND GOT A PARKING SPOT RIGHT OUT FRONT.

 LITTLE STORY - NEXT DOOR IS A BAKERY. A GUY CARRYING 5 BOXES TRIES TO OPEN THE DOOR SO I HELP AND WHILE HOLDING THE DOOR I SAY TO HIM , " SURE , LET THE FAT GUY HOLD A DOOR OPEN IN A BAKERY ". HE LAUGHED. OMG DID THAT BAKERY SMELL AWESOME.

 I DROP THEM OFF AND HEAD TO THE NAIL. I CALL IN 2ND BARTENDER FOR IT GOT BUSY.

  A FUN NIGHT OF MUSIC AND EVERYONE WAS SUPER COOL.

 I TALKED TO OUR YOUNGEST CO-WORKER ABOUT THEIR TRIP TO WASHINGTON.

 I ALSO TALKED TO HIS PARENTS WHO WERE VERY NICE. THE FUNNY THING , AFTER 10 MINUTES ,.........I MISTOOK THEM FOR HIS PARENTS. IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE'S. I FELT LIKE A JACKASS.

 I PLAYED AND JOKES WITH ALOT OF PATRONS TONIGHT. WE HAD 3 NEW COUPLES TO THE AREA AN DHTYE STOPPED IN ALL SAID THEY HAD A GREAT TIME.

 SOME PLAYING AROUND I DO WITH PATRONS : (ALL LAUGH)

 - A COUPLE CLEARLY IN THEIR 50-60'S COME IN. I ASK THE WIFE FOR I.D. THE WIVES ALWAYS SAY THANK YOU AND THE HUSBANDS ROLL THEIR EYES.

 - PEOPLE WELL OVER 40 COME IN AND WE HAVE A SIGN THAT SAYS " SHOW I.D. BEFORE ORDERING ALCOHOL. ". A GUY GOES TO HIS WALLET AND I SAY , " SIR , C'MON . YOUR BEARD IS AT LEAST 21. "

 - WHEN A COUPLE LEAVES THEY USUALLY THANK ME AND I OPEN THE DOOR. I SAY TO THEM , " DID A BARTENDER KICK YOU OUT OR ARE YOU LEAVING ON YOUR ON ACCORD ? "

 76ERS LED THE ENTIRE GAME UNTIL THE LAST 8 SECONDS. I ABSOLUTELY KNEW THEY LOSE ANOTHER HEART BREAKER.  I SAID THIS IN THE 1ST QUARTER.

 CLOSING - CHILL WITH THE BARTENDERS AS THEY HAD NIGHTCAPS AND I HAD NOTHING.

 AT HOME BY 12:30AM WE WATCH AN EPISODE OF FALLOUT.

 BY 1:30AM WE ARE OFF TO BED. I STAYED IN BED THE ENTIRE NIGHT. THIS IS TWO STRAIGHT NIGHTS DOING THIS.

 BTW - I ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT 30% OF WHAT I DID DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT.

 SATURDAY       1 - 17 - 26

 ANOTHER TIDBIT ABOUT WHEELS ON THAT HUGE COMPANY CONVENTION THAT AGAIN IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE. NOW , SHE GAVE A SPEECH IN FRONT OF 800+ PEOPLE BUT I DID NOT KNOW OUT OF 88 BUSINESS PRESENTATIONS OFFERED  ONLY FIVE WOULD BE ACCEPTED. WHEELS WAS ONE OF THOSE FIVE.  MAN , SHE AMAZES ME.

 GET FUCKING THIS - I ADDED ANOTHER MINUTE TO MY STAIR STEP TREADMILL WORKOUT. I KNOW IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE MUCH BUT A MINUTE ADDED EACH DAY STARTS TO ACCUMULATE. I FIGURED MAYBE A LITTLE BABY CHEAT DAY WAS OKAY AND I FIGURED STILL WOULD LOSE WEIGHT.....NOT EVEN CLOSE.

 MY YOUNGEST AND I TRIED A PLACE ON OUR LIST FOR A WHILE. THE OWNER IS ACTUALLY A 3RD COUSIN. THE PLACE IS CALLED SKINNY JOEY'S CHEESE STEAKS. THIS FORMER MOBSTER HAS NO QUALMS PROMOTING HIS PAST DAYS BY WRAPPING SANDWICHES IN OLD MOBSTER NEWS PAPERS. I MEAN THEY ARE ACTUAL ARTICLES ABOUT HIS MOBSTER PAST. ANYWAY , WE TRIED THE CHICKEN AND RIB EYE CHEESE STEAKS AND BOTH WERE VERY GOOD. PRICE IS A LITTLE STEEP BUT I AM GLAD I TRIED IT.

 OH , BACK TO WEIGHT GAIN WHICH I CAN NOT FUCKING BELIEVE. ALL DAY I HAD 1/2 OF A CHICKEN CHEESE STEAK , 2 CUPS OF SEA SALT PEANUTS , AND TWO 12 OUNCE COKE ZEROES. THAT'S FUCKING IT !! AND GUESS WHAT ??........I GAINED 1.8 POUNDS. HOW THE FUCK IS THIS POSSIBLE ??!!

 OFF TO A FB MARKETPLACE STOP WHICH I PLUGGED IN THE WRONG FUCKING ADDRESS AND IT TOOK ME 30 MINUTES OUT OF THE WAY THAN TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT , THAN PICK UP A FRIEND , THAN HOME , THAN TO THE AIRPORT , AND THAN DROP OFF MY YOUNGEST AT HER APARTMENT AFTER WE STOPPED AT SKINNY JOEY'S.

 AT THE NAIL I TESTED A NEW HDMI CABLE AND IT WORKED. I WAS SO HAPPY BECAUSE THE BIG TV HAD PROMPT BOXES ON THE SCREEN I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT TO REMOVE THEM.

 BACK HOME I CHILL , CHECK EMAILS , AND WATCH SOME FOOTBALL. HOW THE FUCK DID WE LOSE TO THE FUCKING 49ERS ?? THEY GOT SMOKED BY SEATTLE.

 BACK TO THE NAIL AND WE GET SLAMMED RIGHT AWAY. IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO HAVE A CROWD. IT DID TAIL OFF AND BY 11PM THE SHOW WAS DONE. WE WERE OUT OF THERE BY 11:30PM.

 OH , WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED THE BIG TV WAS STILL WORKING IN HD. THE CABLE WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND FOR THE TEST. SO , I GOT A LADDER AND RAN IT UP IN THE CEILING TO HIDE IT. THE FUNNY THING IS I FOUND MY LOST TAPE MEASURE ABOVE THE CABINETS AND A PICTURE OF JESUS THAT THE BARTENDERS LOOK FOR EACH SHIFT.

 OH , OUR SCANNER CAUGHT MORE GROUPS OF YOUNG KIDS TRYING TO GET IN WITH FAKE ID'S. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS I EVER MADE. WHEN THEY ALL ENTER I ALWAYS PLAY THIS GAME. I TELL THE GROUP OF 6 TONIGHT , " OKAY , WE'RE GOING TO PLAY A GAME. IF ONE OF YOU SCANS FAKE , YOU ALL HAVE TO LEAVE. WANNA PLAY ??!! "  THEY ALWAYS SAY YES. THE FIRST I.D. SCANNED FAKE. I YELL OUT , " THANK YOU FOR PLAYING , PLEASE DO NOT COME BACK AGAIN !! AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS WE SCAN HERE !! ".

 BACK HOME I GO RIGHT TO MY BEDROOM. I AM UP FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR AND HEAD TO BED. I WATCH SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE AND IT IS NOT SO GOOD. I KNOW I COULD WRITE BETTER SKITS. I DO LIKE THE NEWS SECTION OF IT THOUGH.

  SUNDAY     1 - 18 - 26

 WELL , THIS WAS A HECK OF A DAY AND NIGHT.

  I WAS GOING TO PICK UP MY YOUNGEST IN PHILLY FIRST AND WORK MY WAY HOME. BUT I DECIDED TOO MUCH TIME WAS WASTED SO I KINDA DID IT IN REVERSE TO SAVE TIME.

 TODAY'S DIET WILL BE PUT ON PAUSE BIG TIME.

 HERE IS WHAT HAPPEN: ( FROM WHAT I REMEMBER )

 - FEED PUP , WALK PUP , APPLY MEDS ON HER VAGINA , PAWS , AND EARS.

 - OFF TO THE NAIL BECAUSE I FORGOT MY FOOD LIST. I DECIDE TO STAY AND JUST PREP FOR THE NIGHT.

 - HEAD TO RESTAURANT DEPOT AND SPENT ALITTLE OVER AN HOUR SPENDING A MORTGAGE PAYMENT. I DID BUY A LARGE BOX OF 8 OUNCE BURGERS IN WHICH I LATER FOUND OUT I HAD A LARGE BOX OF 8 OUNCE BURGERS ALREADY UPSTAIRS IN OUR FREEZER......BLOW.  I DID BUY SOME BABY BACK RIBS.....NICE.

 - PICK UP MY YOUNGEST AND WE HEAD BACK TO THE NAIL. A FB SELLER OF CAMERAS NEVER RESPONDED AFTER HE TOLD ME HE WOULD SO I COMPLETELY BLEW HIM OFF AND IT WORKED OUT PERFECTLY. WE WERE SUPPOSE TO PICK THEM UP FRIDAY BUT THE SELLER SAID HE FORGOT TO PUT THE CAMERAS IN HIS CAR.

 - AT THE NAIL WE UNLOAD AND STOCK PRODUCT. WE ALSO PREP A LITTLE MORE FOR OPENING.

 - AT HOME WE UNLOAD AND STOCK PRODUCT. WE CHILL FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF FALLOUT WHILE THE PUP SNUGGLES WITH YOUNGEST.

 - FB HOOK UP BIG TIME. THE PHILLY SELLER WAS A DICK AND NEVER GOT BACK TO ME FOR PICK-UP TODAY OF THE 4 USED CAMERAS. SO , ANTICIPATING THIS , I CONTACTED ANOTHER SELLER AND GOT A BETTER DEAL !! I GOT 5 BLINK CAMERAS , EXTENDER , MOUNTS , AND  MORE FOR $125. EVERYTHING IS BRAND NEW AND IN THE BOX. WE MET THE REALLY NICE GUY AND HE SAID HE BOUGHT THEM FOR HIS PARENTS AT CHRISTMAS BUT THEY NEVER USED THEM. OH , AND HE ACCEPTED VENMO SO IT FELT LIKE NO MONEY CAME OUT OF MY POCKET.

 - WE TALK TO WHEELS IN FLORIDA. SHE WAS SITTING A POOL.

 - SHOWER , SHAVE , CALL ELDEST , FEED PUP , WALK PUP , AND HEAD OUT. MY YOUNGEST HELPS ME PICK CLOTHES. WHAT WAS KINDA COOL I TRIED ON CLOTHES THAT DID NOT FIT FOR YEARS AND THEY DID.

 - PICK UP ELDEST AND MY PARENTS AS WE HEAD TO MCCALL'S GOLF CLUB AND BANQUET ROOM. ABOUT 80 PEOPLE WERE INVITED FOR MY MOM'S 90TH BIRTHDAY. I THINK AROUND 10-14 PEOPLE BAILED DUE TO SNOWY WEATHER.

 - THIS EVENT WAS AWESOME. I GOT TO SEE ALOT OF FAMILY , FOOD WAS VERY GOOD , AND AN OPERA SINGER WAS HIRED TO SING MY PARENTS FAVORITE ARIAS.

 - A COOL HEART MOMENT WAS MY PARENTS STANDING AND HUGGING TO THEIR WEDDING SONG. MOM IS 90 AND DAD IS 97.

 - WE TAKE FAMILY PICTURES WITH MY PARENTS. WE DID THE SONS, THE GRAND CHILDREN , THE GREAT GRAND CHILDREN , AND THAN EVERYONE.

 - I GOT MOVED FROM THE MAIN TABLE BECAUSE I WAS TOO FAT SO I SAT WITH THE KIDS. I ACTUALLY HAD A BLAST SITTING WITH MY YOUNGEST , ELDEST , NEPHEWS , AND NIECE.  I MADE ALOT OF JOKES AND THERE WAS A TON OF LAUGHING GOING ON.

 THIS WAS A GLORIOUS FUN NIGHT AND I SUPER ENJOYED IT. I WENT OFF MY DIET EVEN MORE AS THE PARTY MOVED TO A BROTHER'S HOUSE.

 I DROP OFF MY PARENTS AND HEAD TO A 2ND GET TOGETHER AS ABOUT 20 OF FAMILY HEADED TO MY BROTHER'S HOUSE TO WATCH THE BEARS/RAMS GAME , SAY HELLO TO THEIR NEW PUPPY , AND OF COURSE CONSUME MORE BOOZE. MY GOD I HAD A TON OF SAMBUCA. I ORDERED LATE NIGHT PIZZA FOR EVERYONE.

 I REALLY WANTED THE BEARS TO WIN AND THE LAST PLAY BY THE BEARS QB WAS UNBELIEVABLE. IT WAS ASHAME THEY LOST IN OVERTIME.

 AGAIN , I HAD AN AWESOME TIME HANGING WITH MY ELDEST , YOUNGEST , BROTHERS , COUSINS , AND NEPHEWS.

 BARTENDER TEXTS ME THE BATHROOM IS LEAKING. YEP  , SOMETHING HAD TO RUIN THIS NIGHT A LITTLE.

 HEAD HOME WITH MY YOUNGEST. WE WALK THE PUP AFTER A BIG HAPPY GREETING AND GO TO BED. I HAD TO GAIN 5 POUNDS TONIGHT AND YOU KNOW WHAT ?......IT WAS WORTH IT.

  MONDAY     1 - 19 - 26

 YEAH !! EXTREME COLD WEATHER AND POTENTIAL SUNDAY BLIZZARD OF 12 TO 15" OF SNOW. YEAH !!!........BLOW.   

  SILVER LINING - AT LEAST IT IS NOT NEAR A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

  GOT SOME THINGS DONE TODAY AND ONE PUNCH LIST ITEM HAS BEEN ACHIEVED FOR OVER 3 YEARS.

 START DAY OFF LIKE NORMAL BUT AS FAR AS THE DIET GOES........PENANCE !! MY YOUNGEST GIGGLES AND SAYS , " YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT. "

 WHAT ISP PENANCE ? BASICALLY IS IT SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DO TO PAY FOR YOUR SINS. MY SINS WAS SUNDAY NIGHT I ATE 5 POUNDS OF CHEESE CAKE AND DRANK A BOTTLE OF SAMBUCA. I THINK I GAINED 11 POUNDS IN THAT 6 HOUR FOOD AND DRINK BINGE.

  SO MY PENANCE , EAT OR DRINK NOTHING FOR 24 HOURS. AFTER MY 24 HOURS OF FASTING I STILL GAINED 1.2 POUNDS WHEN I WEIGHED MYSELF THIS MORNING. HOW FUCKING DISHEARTENING IS THAT ? I DON'T EAT FOR 24 HOURS AND STILL GAIN WEIGHT FROM ONE NIGHT OF BINGING..........BLOW.

  PROJECTS :

 - THE BRAND SPANKING NEW FIVE GENERATION 4 BLINK CAMERAS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AT OUR HOUSE. WHO DID IT ?.....NOT ME. MY YOUNGEST SPENT ABOUT 20 MINUTES SETTING AND TESTING EVERYTHING UP FOR ME.  I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE PRICE I GOT VIA FB ( $125 WITH VENMO SO IT FEELS LIKE NO MONEY OUT OF POCKET ) AND THE CAMERAS ARE GENERATION 4 WHICH HAVE AUDIO AND MICROPHONES TO TALK.

 - I SHOVELED OUR STEPS AND MORE AT OUR HOUSE.

 - WIPED OFF CARS OF SNOW AND PLACED WINDSHIELD WIPERS UP.

 - ORDERED A RATCHET BELT WITH MY WALMART 30 DAY FREE TRAIL OF FREE DELIVERY.

 - PREPPED AND PRINTED OUT PAPERWORK FOR MY ELDEST FOR A JOB INTERVIEW.

 - APPLIED MEDS TO OUR PUP'S EARS , PAWS , AND VAGINA. I ASKED MY YOUNGEST TO DO IT BUT SHE DECLINED.

 - I WANTED TO WORK A LITTLE UPSTAIRS BUT I COULD NOT GET OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL 2PM.

 - SEARCH FOR COPPER MOSCOW MULE CUPS. THEY ARE KINDA EXPENSIVE SO I WENT TO MY OLD STANDBY.....FB MARKETPLACE.

 - TRYING TO FIND ARE OLD PIZZA SHELLS. MY RESTAURANT DEPOT STORE NO LONGER CARRIES THEM.

 WE CHILL AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF FALLOUT. I LET MY YOUNGEST HAVE MY HALF OF CHEESE STEAK FROM SKINNY JOEY'S.

 BY 5:45PM WE HEAD OUT. FIRST STOP TO DROP OFF PAPERWORK TO ELDEST.

 AT THE NAIL MY YOUNGEST PREPS FOR OPENING AND I SHOVEL AND SALT OUT FRONT. THE BAND IS OUTSIDE ALREADY AND 30 MINUTES EARLY.

 WE HAD ONE SOLO ACT , ONE 1 MAN BAND , ONE 4 PIECE BAND , AND A FEMALE COMEDIENNE WHO TALKED SEX THE ENTIRE TIME......I LIKED HER.

 THE BAND RW HELLBORN MADE MY " PICK OF THE MONTH ". I POSTED A SHORT VIDEO OF THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA. BY MIDNIGHT IT HAD A 1,000 VIEWS.

 EVERYONE WAS SUPER COOL AND ALL THE ACTS THANKED ME SEVERAL TIMES EACH.

 WHILE BANDS BROKE DOWN AND LOADED OUT I MADE A BEER AND LIQUOR ORDER LIST.

 FLYERS AND 76ERS WITH NEEDED WINS.

 I WAS HAPPY INDIANA HUNG ON TO WIN THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.

 BY 11:15PM WE HEAD HOME. WE CHILL WITH THE PUP AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF FALLOUT. IT WAS VERY GOOD.

 AROUND 12:15AM WE HEAD TO BED. I CHECK EMAILS AND TRY TO SLEEP. I DID GET UP TO PEE ONCE AND STARTED MY DAY AT 6AM.

 OH , PART OF THE CEILING IN THE MEN'S BATHROOM FELL DOWN AND ONTO THE FLOOR AND IN THE TOILET........NICE.

  TUESDAY     1 - 20 - 26

 DOES EVERYONE DO THIS MUCH IN ONE DAY ?

  YEP........ONE GOOD BREAKFAST AND 1 1/2 DONUTS AND I GAIN WEIGHT. THIS IS ALL I HAD ALL DAY AND NIGHT. HOW THE FUCK IS THIS POSSIBLE ??!!!

 I HAD A FUN DAY , GOT SOME THINGS DONE ,  CAR FUEL SITUATION , AN ASS SITUATION , AND THAN REALLY MELANCHOLY AT NIGHT.

 HERE ARE SOME THINGS I REMEMBER :

 - FB MARKETPLACE STRIKES AGAIN AS MY YOUNGEST AND I PICK UP BRAND NEW COPPER MUGS FOR MOSCOW MULE DRINKS. MY GOD ARE THEY EXPENSIVE IF BOUGHT REGULARLY. FB......$3 EACH. I GOT 4 WITH VENMO WHICH ALWAYS FEEL NO MONEY EVER CAME OUT OF YOUR POCKET.

 - DURING RIDE TO PHILLY WE TALK TO WHEELS. LET'S JUST SAY SHE IS HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH HER FRIENDS , LOTS OF LAUGHS , VISITING A ZOO , TAKING AN AIR BOAT RIDE ( SEEING A BIG ALLIGATOR ) , AND DINING.

 - OH , THE SELLER SAID , " THERE IS BIG UPS AND FED EX BOXES RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM HARDWARE STORE.  LET'S JUST SAY THEY WERE NOT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. I SWEAR HALF THE SELLERS THAT GIVE ME DIRECTIONS ARE WAAAAAAY TOO COMPLICATED. MY YOUNGEST GIGGLED AT MY COMPLAINING.

 - OFF TO EGGCELLENT CAFE. WE HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GO HERE FOR 2+ YEARS BUT IT IS ALWAYS PACKED ON WEEKENDS. SO , TODAY WAS PERFECT WITH MODEST CUSTOMERS. LET ME TELL YOU THIS PLACE WAS VERY GOOD ALONG WITH PRICING. THE ONLY PROBLEM. THE PLACE WAS COLD.

 FUNNY - THERE IS A RESTAURANT SIGN I SEE ACROSS THE STREET AND I PRONOUNCE IT " HANDY NASTY ". MY YOUNGEST STARTS LAUGHING AND SAYS , " DAD , ITS ' HAN - DYNASTY ' "

 - DROP OFF YOUNGEST WHICH ALWAYS MAKES ME SAD BECAUSE I SO LOVE HER COMPANY.

 - OK I HAVE A SITUATION HERE. I AM LOW ON FUEL. MY INSTRUMENT GAUGE ON DASHBOARD READS I HAVE 18 MILES LEFT TO EMPTY. I  GOT TO GAS STATION AND IT WAS DOWN TO 11. THAT WAS CUTTING IT A LITTLE TOO CLOSE BECAUSE I THOUGHT , " WHAT IF GAUGE IS WRONG ? " MAN , IF I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE SCHUYLKILL HIGHWAY THAT WOULD OF TOTALLY SUCKED ASS.

 - I TALK TO MY ELDEST AND SHE HAS A JOB INTERVIEW ALONG WITH GETTING WHEELS AND FRIEND AT AIRPORT FOR ME.

 - NOW ANOTHER PROBLEM. THE EGGCELLENT BREAKFAST IS STARTING TO MAKE IT'S WAY TO MY ASS. I HAVE A 20 MINUTE DRIVE AFTER THE GAS STATION TO THE NAIL. THIS IS GOING TO BE CLOSE........REAL REAL CLOSE. I ARRIVE IN 19 MINUTES AND 59 SECONDS TO THE NAIL'S TOILET. YEP ONE SECOND SEPARATED ME , MY ASS , AND FIRE IN THE HOLE !! IT WAS AN EXPLOSIVE BOWEL MOVEMENT. I WAS NT EVEN SEATED YET AND BOMBS AWAY !!! MY GOD IT FELT LIKE THE SCENE IN DUMB AND DUMBER.

 - OK AT THE NAIL FOR 3 HOURS I POST ON FB ABOUT THE BREAKFAST I HAD , ORDER BEER AND LIQUOR , AND UNLOAD TOOLS.

 - I CHANGE OUT A VGA CORD ON MY SURVEILLANCE MONITOR BUT IT DOES NOT HELP WITH THE GRAINY PICTURES. UNFORTUNATELY , IT DID NOT WORK.

 - BLACK TAPE TV CABLE WIRES TO ORGANIZE AND CONCEAL THEM.

 - CHECK MY NEW BLINK CAMERAS AND SEE OUR PUP LAYING ON THE COUCH. I DID THIS TWICE. ONCE AT 10:45AM AND AGAIN AT 3:30PM. I GIGGLED AS THE DOG NEVER MOVED FROM THE COUCH.

 - CHANGE THE MARQUEE SIGN. TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAY , " I LOVE THE WINTER OVER THE SUMMER ".......FUCK YOU. YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME.

 - CLEAN UP BATHROOM CEILING THAT FELL ON THE FLOOR AND IN THE TOILET. WHAT SUCKS IS I CAN NOT FIX THE ROOF LEAK UNTIL WEATHER GETS WARMER. YEAH WINTER I BETTER THAN SUMER.....FUCKING IDIOTS.

 - PREP FOR TOMORROW'S SHOW.

 BY 4PM I AM GETTING TIRED SO I HEAD HOME BUT FIRST PICK UP MY ELDEST WHO HAS LUNCH AT OUR HOUSE AND I LET HER TAKE MY CAR FOR 3 DAYS.

 BY MYSELF I AM WITH THE PUP. I CHECK EMAILS NON-STOP , APPLY MEDS TO DOG' VAGINA , AND HAVE SOME WATER FOR DINNER.

 I START A TRUE TV SERIES CALLED MASTERS OF THE AIR. IT IS A WORLD WAR II THEMED SHOW BASED ON TRUE EVENTS AND TRUE PILOTS THAT FLEW B-52'S. MY GOD THESE YOUNG KIDS WERE HEROES.

 TRUMP HAD A PICTURE OF UNITED STATED ANNEXING CANADA , GREENLAND , AND VENEZUELA.......ALL COUNTRIES WERE NOW UNITED STATED IN THE POSTER. DOES THIS FUCKING LOOK FAMILIAR ? THINK ........1939. HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THIS ??!!!

 BY 10PM I AM IN MY BEDROOM CHECKING EMAILS AND WATCHING TV. I STARTED TO FEEL REALLY MELANCHOLY NEAR THE END OF THE NIGHT. I LIKE BEING BY MYSELF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT SOON AFTER YOU KINDA FEEL LONELY.

 I SPEND ABOUT 45 MINUTES DESIGNING SOME SIGNAGE AND RE-DID OUR NAIL TABLETOP MENUS SINCE WE ARE ADDING " FISH N CHIPS ". I'LL PRINT THEM OUT TOMORROW.

 I SPEND ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND FOUND ARE OLD PIZZA SHELLS. THE ONLY SLIGHT PROBLEM IS THE STORE IS IN PENNSAUKEN , NEW JERSEY. RESTAURANT DEPOT CANCELED SELLING OUR PIZZA SHELLS SO WE HAVE BEEN USING ANOTHER BRAND THAT ARE SEASONED CAULIFLOWER ONES. I HAVE TO ADMIT THEY ARE GOOD BUT I PREFER OUR OLD ITALIAN STYLE DOUGH SHELLS.

 I CLIMB INTO BED AND THE PUP JOINS ME. I SLEEP OKAY AN DUSE THE BATHROOM ONCE DURING THE NIGHT.

  WEDNESDAY       1 - 21 - 22

 ALOT GOING ON AS ALWAYS. IT IS LITERALLY NON-STOP.

 WHEELS GETS PICKED UP AT AIRPORT BY OUR ELDEST AND BACK HOME SAFELY. WELL , NOT TOTALLY SAFELY. IN FLORIDA A TEA POT TOP WITH BOILING WATER FELL OFF POURING HOT STEAM AND WATER ON TO HER HAND. SHE HAD TO GO TO THE URGENT CARE TO BE TREATED FOR 2ND DEGREE BURNS. LATER , I ASKED HER TO PUT MEDICATION ON THE PUP'S VAGINA. I HAVE TO ADMIT IT DOES LOOK BAD. THREE FINGERS ARE BLISTERED UP BIG TIME.

 UTILIZING WALMART'S FREE DELIVERY FOR 30 DAYS :

 - PURCHASED A RATCHET BELT AND LOVE IT.

 - PURCHASED A 50' HDMI CORD AND IT WORKED ( FUNNY , THE ORIGINAL CORD FINALLY ARRIVED TODAY AFTER 3+ WEEKS AND YESTERDAY'S EMAIL SAID I GET A REFUND FOR ORDER WAS CANCELLED )

 - ORDERED CHARGERS FOR CELL CORDS. I ORDERED 5 FOR $9.99. GOOD PRICE RIGHT ? THEY FUCKING CAME WITH NO CHARGERS.

  HIT MY LOWEST WEIGHT IN 5 YEARS AND HAVE LOST 27 POUNDS TOTAL. I WAS PRETTY PROUD OF MYSELF.

 OH ,  SO GET THIS. TODAY'S MEALS ( NO BREAKFAST , LUNCH , DESERTS , OR BOOZE ). I HAVE A 1 1/2 TURKEY WITH PROVOLONE SANDWICHES , 2 FIG BARS , A CUP OF ROASTED PEANUTS , AND TWO 16 OUNCE DIET/SUGAR FREE ICED TEAS AND GAINED 3 POUNDS BACK. THIS IS ALL I HAD IN 24 HOURS. HOW IN THE WIDE WIDE WORLD OF FUCK DO I GAIN 3 POUNDS ??!! I TRULY FEEL I AM SLEEP EATING.

  OK START THE DAY WITH TREADMILL WALKING. AGAIN I ADD 1 MINUTE TO MY WALK.

 SPEND SOME MORE TIME DRYWALLING UPSTAIRS. AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES I HAD TO STOP FOR A BEER DELIVERY WAS COMING EARLIER THAN I THOUGHT.

 PRINT OUT SIGNAGE AND UPDATE TABLE TOP MENUS FOR THE NAIL.

 SNOW PREDICTION FOR SUNDAY ....ANYWHERE FROM 1 INCH TO 20 INCHES. I BELIEVE ACCU-WEATHER HAS THEIR BASES COVERED. OH , IT'S SUPPOSE TO HIT 50 DEGREES ON THURSDAY AND THAN ALL HELL BUSTS LOOSE WITH SUPER COLD WEATHER AND SNOW.

 HEAD TO NAIL FOR BEER DELIVERY AND GATE IS NOT WORKING . I CONTACT MY NEIGHBOR.

 DOES ANYONE ELSE GET A SHIT LOAD OF " WE CAN MAKE YOUR WEBSITE BETTER OR MORE NOTICEABLE " EMAILS ? MY GOD I GET ABOUT 10 A DAY.

 AT THE NAIL I STOCK BEER , DO A FULL VACUUM , AND PREP FOR THE NIGHT.

 VERY PROUD OUR ELDEST WENT ON A JOB INTERVIEW. THE ONLY THING THAT SUCKS IS RESULTS WILL NOT BE FOUND OUT FROM 2-3 WEEKS. ELDEST AND BOYFRIEND LATER STOPPED AT THE NAIL FOR FOOD , DRINK , AND SHOOTING POOL. ALL WERE MY TREAT. IT WAS A THANK YOU FOR GETTING WHEELS AND A FRIEND AT THE AIRPORT AND GOING TO THE JOB INTERVIEW. OH , PER MY SUGGESTION , THEY STOPPED AT NICK'S ROAST BEEF FOR DINNER.

 LEAVE NAIL AND PICK UP A LIQUOR ORDER. WHAT WAS SO COOL THE SALES ASSOCIATE HAD MY ORDER READY TO GO AND DOOR OPEN WHEN I ARRIVED. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN 29 YEARS IT WAS LIGHTNING FAST.....AND I TOLD HER THAT. I DID CALL FIRST AND THE REP TOLD ME , " SINCE I KNEW YOU BE HERE IN 5 MINUTES I DECIDED TO START THE ORDER. "

 BACK HOME I CHILL , CHECK EMAILS , AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF MASTERS OF THE AIR.

 BACK TO THE NAIL FOR A PHENOMENAL NIGHT OF MUSIC AND ONE OF THE WORST NIGHTS I EVER SEEN WHERE THE REGISTERS DID NOT MOVE. NO ONE WAS DRINKING ANYTHING....NOT EVEN SODA OR WATER. I ACTUALLY CALLED " LAST CALL " AS SOON AS THE MUSIC STOPPED. I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS IN 29 YEARS.

 I DID A SOCIAL MEDIA POST THAT TONIGHT'S PERFORMERS WERE IN MY TOP 10 OF ALL TIME. MY GOD YOU HAVE TO SEE KAT RIVERS & THE SECOND SIGHT.

 BY 11PM I WAS HOME TALKING TO WHEELS. SHE HEADS TO BED AFTER TELLING ME HER BEST TIME EVER IN FLORIDA. THEY'RE GOING TO ADD ANOTHER DAY FOR NEXT YEARS VACATION.

 IF IT HITS 50 DEGREES THURSDAY OUTDOOR PROJECTS WILL BE DONE.

 I WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF MASTERS OF THE AIR. MY GOD THE HORROR THESE B52 PILOTS WENT THROUGH DURING WORLD WAR II. THE SURVIVAL RATE WAS 10%. IT IS SO BRUTAL AND SO DAMN SAD.

 OFF TO BED BY 12 MIDNIGHT. ANOTHER DAY IN THE BOOKS.

  THURSDAY       1 - 22 - 26

 SO , WHAT DO YOU DO EACH DAY ? ME.......EH.....NOTHING MUCH.

TODAY - UTILIZE THE 50 DEGREE WEATHER WAS AN ABSOLUTE MUST BECAUSE MOTHER NATURE IS GOING TO BE A TOTAL BITCH SOON.

 UP AT 6AM I DO A TON OF EMAILING WITH BANDS. I SET ANOTHER RECORD.........20+ BANDS CONTACTED ME TODAY. I LITERALLY FORCED MYSELF TO STOP CHECKING EMAILS BECAUSE I HAVE OUTSIDE WORK TO DO.

 A 5TH BAND PLAYING ARDMORE MUSIC HALL WILL BE PLAYING THE NAIL FRIDAY NIGHT. THEY ARE ALSO PLAYING 2 OTHER HUGE VENUES IN NEW JERSEY. THE LITTLE NAIL IS MAKING A MOVE. WE ARE ANTICIPATING A HUGE NIGHT WITH FREE PIZZA !!

  TESTED 2 OLD COMPUTERS. BOTH DO NOT WORK SO I THREW THEM OUT. IF PEOPLE FIND THEM AND GO THROUGH THE DATA THEY WILL SEE NUDE PICTURES OF ME VERY FAT.

 UPSTAIRS , I FINISH ALL DRYWALL PATCHING. MAN , THIS WAS NOT FUN. I EVEN THREW HUNDREDS OF SMALL DEBRIS IN OUR WALLS ALONG WITH ONE OF OUR CAR'S OLD REGISTRATION DETAILS.

 USING SEVERAL LADDERS I SET-UP MY 5 BLINK CAMERAS OUTSIDE. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH PURCHASE AND CAMERAS.

 OFF TO THE NAIL FOR A BEER DELIVERY. I STOCK BEER  , CHANGE THE MARQUEE , AND PREP FOR FRIDAY NIGHT.

 BACK HOME I TEXT WHEELS AND MY YOUNGEST , " WHAT WOULD YOU DO ? WEATHER IS 50 DEGREES , IT WILL BE SUPER COLD FOR AT LEAST A MONTH , DO I TRY TO PATCH A ROOF FOR A LEAK IN THE NAIL'S MEN'S BATHROOM NOW ? " GUESS WHAT THEY SAID ?

 OUTSIDE I LOAD ROOF TOOLS AND A GORILLA LADDER IN MY VAN.

 STOP AT C.V.S. FOR WHEELS HAND BLISTER MEDICATION. HER HAND IS HUGE. C.V.S SINCE TAKING RITE AID AND THEIR CUSTOMERS......PACKED !!

 STOP AT LIQUOR STORE IN BRYN MAWR SINCE MY STORE TOLD ME THEY NEVER GAVE MY ORDER GINGER BEER. SO I GOT IT HERE.

 I STOP AT D.M.I. HOME SUPPLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE FUCKING PARKING SPOT AVAILABLE. THEY ARE FUCKING PACKED ! PEOPLE ARE GOING NUTS. I LITERALLY PARK BY THE FRONT DOORS. LUCKILY , AS SOON AS I WENT IN A REP I KNEW HELPED ME IMMEDIATELY IN GETTING ROOF MUCK. I WAS IN AND OUT IN UNDER 25 SECONDS. THIS IS SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN ME DOING WHEELS.

 TO THE NAIL AND SET-UP LADDER TO ACCESS THE ROOF. USING A MEASURING TAPE I THINK I FIGURE OUT WHERE THE LEAK IS BEING CAUSED FROM........A DETERIORATED ROOF SCUPPER. I POUR AND TROWEL A SHIT LOAD OF ROOF MUCK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DRAIN SCUPPER. OH GOOD GOD IT IS EVERY WHERE.

  OH , EVERY FUCKING TIME I WORK WITH ROOF MUCK I GET IT ON ME....EVERY FUCKING TIME. I AM EVEN WEARING THICK RUBBER GLOVES THAT GO TO MY ELBOWS !!

 WHEELS TEXTS ME , " WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FOR DINNER ? " I AM ON THE NAIL ROOF AND TEXT BACK , " FAST OR FELINI'S ". I REGRET THAT TEXT.

 FINISH ROOF , CLEAN UP , AND LOAD TOOLS BACK IN VAN. ROOF MUCK DRIPPED DOWN THE ROOF AND LANDED ON A MOP BELOW..........AND BLOW.

 I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH TAR GOT ON ME AND MY CLOTHES. I USED A CAN OF WD-40 TO HELP CLEAN EVERYTHING TOUCHED BY TAR. I SWEAR I WAS JUST SHORT OF BEING TARRED AND FEATHERS. I JUST HAD NO FEATHERS.

 I ROLL OUT AND STOP FOR FUEL.

 BACK HOME I CLEAN UP AND CHANGE CLOTHES. WHEELS IS DRESSED , COAT ON , WITH A BOTTLE OF WINE......WAITING AT THE DOOR

 WE HEAD TO FELINI'S CAFE FOR WHEELS BIRTHDAY WHICH WE DID NOT CELEBRATE UNTIL SHE GOT BACK FROM FLORIDA.  WE GOT HOOKED UP BIG TIME AND MY DIET WAS BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER.

 THE MEAL - BREAD WITH BUTTER AND OIL , A BOTTLE OF WINE (FREE) , WE SHARED PORK SHANK WITH CORZETTI PASTA , BOLOGNESE BURRATA WITH MAFALDINE PASTA , SALTY CARAMEL TIRAMISU WITH A BIRTHDAY CANDLE  , A FRICKIN' UNBELIEVABLE CARROT CAKE , 2 BAILEY LIQUORE DRINKS (FREE) , A 10 OUNCE GIFT BOTTLE OF OUR FAVORITE LIQUORE (FREE) , AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG ON THE OVERHEAD SPEAKERS. THIS DINNER WAS AWESOME.

 BACK HOME WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH THE 2 REMAINING EPISODES OF LANDMAN. THEY WERE VERY GOOD.

 OFF TO BEDROOM TO CHECK EMAILS ,PLAY A GAME OF POKER , AND WATCH THE NEWS. I SLEPT PRETTY GOOD.

  FRIDAY      1 - 23 - 26

 THE SNOW AND COLD IS A COMIN'.

 WELL , MANY PEOPLE ARE PANICKING DUE TO BLIZZARD PREDICTION. MY QUESTION , WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING YOUR WHOLE LIFE AND WHY DO YOU BUY A SHOVEL EVERY YEAR ? HARDWARE STORES SELL OUT OF SHOVELS EVERY BIG SNOW STORM. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO LAST YEAR'S SHOVEL ?

 BLINK CAMERAS ARE WORKING VERY GOOD SO FAR. AGAIN , I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH THEM.

 ELDEST STOPS BY AND I DRIVE HER TO BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE AND THAN STOP AT THE NAIL TO PREP FOR A BIG NIGHT.

 BACK HOME I WATCH AN EPISODE OF MASTERS OF THE AIR. OH MAN WHAT THESE KIDS WENT THROUGH IN WORLD WAR II.

 PENANCE !!! I HAD ZERO CALORIE INTAKE TODAY. THIS 24 HOUR FASTING IS PROBABLY NOT THE BEST BUT I AM BACK TO MY ORIGINAL WEIGHT LOSS SINCE I " CHEATED " THE NIGHT BEFORE BY GOING TO FELINI'S CAFE.

 WHEELS BRINGS DINNER TO BROTHER AND FAMILY. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS REALLY HAVING A TOUGH TIME WITH HIS KNEE SURGERY.

 BAND WANTED A 5:30PM LOAD-IN. I ARRIVED AT 5:15PM AND THE BAND WAS SETTING UP BY 5:20PM. SOUND CHECK AND ALL SETTING UP TOOK OVER 2 HOURS.

 BY 8PM THE BAND STARTED AND THEY WERE GOOD. THEY DID THREE 50 MINUTE SETS TO A 100+ CROWD OF PEOPLE SINGING AND DANCING ALONG. AS THE LEAD SINGER TOLD ME , " EVERY SONG IS AN ENCORE SONG." HE WAS RIGHT. EVERYONE KNEW THE WORDS TO EVERY SONG.

 I THINK I MAY HAVE LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG BY PROMOTING " BIRTHDAY PARTY AND FREE PIZZA ". IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A SURPRISE PARTY. OH , I DID NOT HAVE ONE SLICE OF PIZZA. GOD THAT WAS TOUGH DURING MY 24 HOUR FAST.

  WE HAD A GOOD FUN STAFF OF 3 BARTENDERS , A DOOR MAN , SOUND MAN , AND ME. THEY WERE RUNNING ALL NIGHT AND THE BARTENDERS WERE ADORABLE AND PLAYFUL. I WAS SO PROUD OF MY STAFF TONIGHT.

 AS ALWAYS I PLAYED ALOT WITH THE PATRONS COMING AND GOING. I TRULY BELIEVE DOORMAN ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY ARE THE FIRST AND LAST EMPLOYEE PATRONS SEE.

 LOOKS MY DOORMAN WHO IS A MASTER MECHANIC IS GOING TO HELP A BARTENDER WHO'S CAR HAS NO HEAT.

 IT GOT COLD IN A HURRY BUT ONE THING ALWAYS AMAZES ME.........PEOPLE COME IN WITH NO JACKET OR COAT. THERE HAD TO BE AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE WHO DID THIS. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WALK FROM THE CAR TO THE NAIL IN 10 DEGREE WEATHER ?

 FLYERS HAVE LOST THEIR LAST 6 OF 7 GAMES SO I HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING THEM. TONIGHT THEY BEAT #1 NHL TEAM COLORADO 7 - 3 IN COLORADO.....GO FIGURE.

 THE NIGHT MOVED ALONG PERFECTLY. EVERYONE WAS HAVING FUN AND THE CROWD WAS SUPER COOL.

 BY 11PM THE SHOW WAS DONE AND BY MIDNIGHT I WAS THE LAST ONE OUT THE DOOR.

 I GET HOME , WALK THE PUP , AND DO NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING. THIS WAS SO TOUGH. AROUND 1AM I WATCH TV AND FALL ASLEEP. I SLEPT TO 5:45AM AND GOT OUT OF BED TO START MY DAY AT 7AM. I NEVER USED THE BATHROOM. THIS IS SMALL TO YOU BUT PRETTY BIG TO ME.

 TOMORROW , PREP FOR ANOTHER SHOW I HOPE AND SHOULD  GET IN AND PREP THE SNOW BLOWER AND GENERATOR. SUNDAY'S SHOW HAS ABOUT A 1% CHANCE OF HAPPENING.

 SATURDAY      1 - 24 - 26

 OKAY , BEFORE ALL SNOW HELL BREAKS I HAD TO GET THINGS DONE AND A VERY LARGE WOMAN GOT MAD AT ME. SEE LAST PARAGRAPH.

 MY PUNCH LIST :

 - HEAD TO THE NAIL AND PREP FOR THE NIGHT. THIS WILL BE A SHOW I HOPE GETS IN BEFORE THE SNOW STORM. DAMN , I WAS THERE 3 HOURS AND A BARTENDER LEFT PIZZA IN THE FRIDGE........CRAP. I ATE 11 SLICES. OH DOING THE FRICKIN' OUTSIDE MARQUEE......LIKE ICE.

  SPEAKING OF " I.C.E. " THEY KILLED MORE PEOPLE. I AM JUST AMAZED HOW PEOPLE VIEW AND DO NOT USE COMMON SENSE WHEN SEEING WHAT DEVELOPED. THE GUY WAS A NURSE AND SHOT KILLED WHEN 8 AGENTS JUMPED HIM. HE WAS LITERALLY COVERING A WOMEN FRIEND WITH HIS BODY. WHILE 8 AGENTS WERE ON TOP OF HIM AND ONE PISTOL WHIPPING IS HEAD WHILE ANOTHER AGENT SCREAMS OUT " HE'S GOT A GUN !! " AND AFTER TAKING HIS GUN THEY SHOOT HIM. AS HE LAYS LIFELESS , THEY SHOT HIM 9 MORE TIMES. WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE. OH , HE WAS CARRYING A LEGAL PERMITTED GUN IN A STATE THAT HAS  "OPEN PERMIT ". HE NEVER HAD GUN OUT ONCE.

 THE VICTIM , BY THE WAY , IS ALLOWED TO PROTEST. PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA SAY , " WELL , HE SHOULD OF BEEN HOME OR AT WORK AND THIS WOULD OF NEVER HAPPENED. PEOPLE WHO SAY THIS ARE FUCKING BACKLESS SPINELESS PIECES OF SHIT.

 HALF A MILLION PEOPLE PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IN -10 DEGREE WEATHER. HEY , BUT THEY ALL MUST BE WRONG AND YOU'RE RIGHT. PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT TRUMP WILL ONLY SEE REALITY WHEN SOME REALLY BAD HAPPENS TO THEM OR A VERY CLOSE LOVED ONE.

 - STOP TO FILL UP MY CAR BEFORE HEADING HOME.

 - START AND RUN SNOW BLOWER.

 - START AND RUN GENERATOR.

 - PREP CARS IN DRIVEWAY FOR PLOWING. I BACK THEM UP AND MOVE WINDOW WIPERS UP AWAY FROM WINDSHIELD.

 INSIDE I SETTLE IN AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF MASTERS OF THE AIR. AGAIN , MY GOD WHAT THESE PILOTS  WENT THROUGH. I HAVE REALLY BEEN ENJOYING THIS SERIES.

 CALLED MY DAD AND BOTH TIMES HE ENDS MY CONVERSATION IN LESS THAN 60 SECONDS. YOU WOULD THINK A 97 FATHER , GRANDFATHER , AND GREAT GRANDFATHER WOULD BE EYEING HIS PHONE 24/7 FOR FAMILY TO CALL HIM AND STAY ON THE PHONE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE......NOPE.

 TEXTED WITH A BROTHER WHO GOT A LARGE SNOW BLOWER FROM HIS FATHER-IN-LAW......GOOD DECISION. THOUGH I WOULD OF GOT IT THE DAY BEFORE IN 50 DEGREE WEATHER.

 I ASK WHEELS , " HOW ABOUT YOU COME WITH ME TO THE NAIL. I HAVE A SHORT SHOW . WE CAN CHILL , HANG OUT , A HAVE A DRINK TOGETHER." WHEELS ANSWERS , " NOPE , I'M QUITE COMFY HERE. " SHE HAS NEVER SAID YES IN 29 YEARS OWNING.

 OFF TO THE NAIL FOR A 4 BAND NIGHT AND WEATHER IS A ZERO FACTOR. THE BANDS MOVE ALONG AND IT WAS A FUN NIGHT. EVERYONE WAS SUPER COOL EXCEPT......THIS STORY WILL BE LAST.

 BACK HOME I SETTLE IN WITH SOME PEANUTS ( SHOULD NOT EAT LATE NIGHT ) AND WATER. I WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF MASTERS OF THE AIR. AGAIN , VERY GOOD. THIS TIME THE SHOW CONCENTRATED ON THE INFAMOUS TUSKEGEE PILOTS.

 HEAD TO BED AND THE SNOW HAS NOT COME YET. I WAS UP AT 4AM AND STILL NO SNOW. BUT BY THE TIME I GOT UP AROUND 6AM.....THE SNOW IS HERE.

 HERE IS THE FUNNY STORY THAT HAD BEEN LAUGHING IN THE NAIL LAST NIGHT :

 A WOMAN CALLS THE NAIL AND I ANSWER.

 HER - " HI , DO YOU HAVE KARAOKE TONIGHT ? IT'S MY BIRTHDAY "

 ME - " NO , BUT WE HAVE 4 LIVE BANDS ".

 HER - " OH , MAYBE THE BAND WOULD LET ME SING A SONG SINCE IT IS MY BIRTHDAY ".

 ME - " WELL YOU KNOW , BEING ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY , THIS IDEA SHOULD WORK. "

 HER - " OKAY GREAT , SEE YA IN 5 MINUTES !! "

 ABOUT 15 MINUTES GOES BY AND I AM AT THE MIXING BOARD RUNNING SOUND FOR A BAND THAT IS ABOUT TO START. I SEE TWO WOMEN COME IN. THEY ARE CLEARLY INTOXICATED. ONE IS VERY GOOD LOOKING AND THE OTHER IS KAMALA-SIZED. I MEAN SHE IS A BIG BIG GIRL.

 I WALK OVER AND STOP BOTH OF THEM. I SEE THEY ARE CARRYING DRINKS.

  ANOTHER CONVERSATION ENSUES.

 ME - " WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DRINK ? " ( THIS IS TO THE BIG BIG BIG WOMAN )

 BIG GIRL - " I GOT IT HERE " ( SHE POINTS TO OUR BARTENDER )

 I CALL OUR BARTENDER AND ASK " DID YOU SERVE THIS WOMAN A DRINK ? " SHE REPLIES , " NO "

 ALSO , I RECOGNIZE THE GLASSWARE ISN'T EVEN WHAT WE HAVE HERE. SO , NOW I GET MAD.

 ME - " OKAY , YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ".

 BIG GIRL - " WHY ? "

 ME - " FOR LYING TO ME AND BRINGING ALCOHOL INTO MY BAR. "

 BIG GIRL - " SHE STARTS SAYING STUFF I CANT UNDERSTAND BUT ALL OF IT IS DEROGATORY.

 BIRTHDAY GIRL WHO IS GOOD LOOKING - " BUT IT'S MY BIRTHDAY ".

 ME - " I KNOW. BUT IF YOUR FRIEND HERE WAS HONEST WITH ME I WOULD OF LET YOU IN. IMAGINE IF EVERY PARTON COMING IN BROUGHT THEIR OWN ALCOHOL , JEOPARDIZED MY LIQUOR LICENSE , AND LIED. IF SHE PUT THE DRINK DOWN AND WAS HONEST I WOULD OF LET YOU IN. "

 I GUIDE THEM OUT SLOWLY AS THE BIG WOMAN SLAMS THE DOOR LIKE ANDRE THE GIANT SLAMMING A LITTLE WRESTLE.

 ( THIS GETS FUNNY )

 I THAN RE-OPEN THE DOOR AND YELL , " ANNNNNNNND STAY OUT !! "  AND SLAM THE DOOR.

 THE BIG GIRL RE-RE-OPENS THE DOOR AND SLAMS IT AGAIN YELLING SOMETHING.

 I RE-RE-RE- OPEN THE DOOR AND YELL , " HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! AND BA BYE !! " THAN SLAM IT SHUT.

 THE BIG BIG WOMAN TRIES TO OPEN THE DOOR AND I AM HOLDING IT BUT LET ME TELL YOU I AM STRUGGLING. THIS GIRL IS EVERY BIT OF 400+ POUNDS AND IT TAKES ALL MY STRENGTH TO HOLD IT SHUT AND APPLY A LOCK.

 I LOCK THE DOOR AND MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT OVER THE P.A. SYSTEM. " I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT. THE FRONT DOOR WILL BE LOCKED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BECAUSE A VERY LARGE ANGRY WOMAN IS OUTSIDE AND WANTS IN. " EVERYONE LAUGHS AND PEOPLE WHO SAW THIS WHOLE CONFRONTATION GO DOWN AND ARE LAUGHING.

 FOR A SOLID 20 MINUTES THE WOMEN ARE OUTSIDE. I AM WATCHING THEM IN MY MONITORS. THE GOOD LOOKING BIRTHDAY GIRL KNOCKS ON THE DOOR FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES BUT I WOULD NOT OPEN IT.

 PEOPLE AND MUSICIANS COME UP TO ME LAUGHING. MY ELDEST , WHO IS THERE , TEXTS OUR FAMILY GROUP , " DAD LOCKED THE FRONT DOOR AND A BIG LADY KEPT KNOCKING ON IT TO GET BACK IN "

  SUNDAY     1 - 25 - 26

 I GUESS THIS WAS NICE OF MY NEIGHBOR ?

 THE SNOW HAS COME. OUR AREA LOOKS AROUND 8" TO 12". THE POCONOS GOT DOUBLE. MY NEIGHBOR SENT ME A VIDEO.

  I WAS HOLDING OFF ON SNOW BLOWING BECAUSE I WANTED THE FREEZING RAIN TO SIT ON TOP OF THE SNOW BUT MY NEIGHBOR KINDA RUINED THAT BY PLOWING MY DRIVEWAY WITHOUT ASKING OR TEXTING ME. FOR HOURS I DID NOT KNOW WHO IT EVEN WAS. HE JUST STARTED SNOW BLOWING. I DID NOT HAVE THE HEART TO TELL HIM I HAVE A HUGE SNOW BLOWER AND I WAS WAITING ON PURPOSE TO PLOW THE DRIVEWAY MYSELF. HE THAN TEXTED FOR A DONATION. I GAVE HIM $40 AND JUST SHOOK MY HEAD. BY THE WAY I DO ALOT OF NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAYS AND SIDEWALKS AND NEVER CHARGE MONEY. STILL I TWAS NICE OF HIM.

 I WILL WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO RE-DO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE NAIL.

 WHEELS DOES MORE BOOK WORK PREPPING FOR TAXES NEXT MONTH. I HELP HER WITH NAIL NUMBERS. AS FAR AS THE VACATION PROPERTIES ( GOING BY NUMBERS ) WE ARE HAPPY WITH THE CONDO AND SO-SO HAPPY WITH THE MOUNTAIN HOUSE.

 I HEAD UPSTAIRS AND CONTINUE WORK WITH SPACKLING AND TAPING ALL THE DRYWALL PATCH WORK I DID. IT WAS ALOT. I FORGOT HOW MUCH I HATE SPACKLING ESPECIALLY IN SMALL CLOSETS. I WANTED TO DO ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF WORK BUT IT LASTED 90 MINUTES.

 MOSTLY A CHILL DAY AND WE WATCHED THE NFL GAMES.

 A NICE DINNER BY WHEELS. I FEEL BAD FOR HER VERY BLISTERED HAND IS NOT HEALING AS FAST AS SHE LIKE. I TOLD HER AT LEAST 3 WEEKS. SHE WANTED 3 DAYS.

 PATRIOTS BEAT BRONCOS AND SEAHAWKS BEAT THE RAMS.

 I GOT ALOT OF EMAILING DONE TOO. ONE BAND COMPLAINED ABOUT NOT RECEIVING FREE DRINKS AND GETTING PAID. THEY BROUGHT ZERO PEOPLE TO THE NAIL. I GUESS MY VERY DETAILED EMAILS BEFORE THEY PLAY HERE AND THE MONDAY BEFORE WITH SHOW DETAILS WAS NOT ENOUGH EXPLAINING.

 TALKED TO YOUNGEST AND ELDEST FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

 TALK TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE COUSINS FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES.

 TALKED TO MY DAD FOR 30 SECONDS TWICE. BOTH TIMES HE SAID , " OKAY , STAY WARM , BYE."

 CALLED MY MOM :

 ME - " ACTION NEWS TOLD ME TO CALL MY PARENTS AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE EGGS , BREAD , AND MILK. "

 MOM - " WE DO "

 ME - " OKAY BYE ".

 I HEAR WHEELS LAUGHING IN THE OTHER ROOM.

 WE WATCHED 2 EPISODES OF HIGH POTENTIAL. BOTH WERE GOOD.

 DID NOT SLEEP THE BEST. UP AT 4:30AM THINKING ABOUT SNOW BLOWING. I SAW A GUY ON THE NEWS USING A LEAF BLOWER TO BLOW OFF SNOW ON HIS CAR. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT HOURS EARLIER.

 IT'S 7:30AM AND I CONTEMPLATING GOING BACK TO BED.

  MONDAY     1 - 26 - 26

 WELP , GOT MY WORKOUT IN AND LOST WEIGHT. THE ONLY THING THAT SUCKS IS MY SNOW BLOWER..........BLOWS. MAN , WHAT A DAY.

  THE GOODS AND BADS OF MY NEIGHBOR SNOW BLOWING MY DRIVEWAY :

 GOOD - IT WAS VERY EASY TO RE-PLOW IT. LATER MY BLOWER WOULD BREAK DOWN SO HIM DOING IT YESTERDAY WAS A BIG SILVER LINING.

 BAD - IT WAS A SHEET OF ICE. IT TOO ME 3 ATTEMPTS TO GET MY VAN UP THE DRIVEWAY.

 I USED MY SNOW BLOWER AND RE-DID ALL OUR PROPERTY. I WIPED OFF CARS AND SHOVELED EVERYWHERE. IT WAS QUITE A WORK-OUT. I ALSO PLOWED TO MY SIDE YARD WHERE OUR GENERATOR WOULD GO IF NEEDED.

 GIVE 2 SLEDS TO A NEIGHBOR AND FORMER BARTENDER.

 U.P.S. DRIVER HANDS ME A PACKAGE. HE COULD NOT GET UP OUR STEPS. I WAS JUST SHOVELING THEM AS HE PULLED UP. THE PACKAGE WAS CELL PHONE CHARGERS.

 LOAD LARGE SNOW BLOWER IN MY VAN USING 2 LONG BOARDS. I LOAD IN A METAL SHOVEL , GAS CONTAINER , A BROOM , EXTENSION CORD , AND A TOWEL.

 TO THE NAIL AND I UNLOAD THE VAN. I START IT UP AND THE FIRST 15 MINUTES IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM. THE SIDEWALK IS OVER 16 INCHES BECAUSE PLOW TRUCKS SEND SNOW DRIFTS OVER IT WHEN PLOWING THE MAIN STREET. BUT , MY LARGE BLOWER WORKS PERFECTLY FOR ABOUT 30 YARDS UN.............TIL THE WHEELS WON'T SPIN AND A LEFT TIRE GOES SEMI-FLAT. UN.......FUCKING......BELIEVABLE.

 NOW THE LAST 20 YARDS I WIGGLE THE BLOWER BACK AND FORTH ONE FUCKING INCH AT A TIME. IT TAKES ME AN HOUR. I CAN NOT FINISH THE FINAL 2 YARDS BECAUSE THE SNOW DRIFT IS OVER 5 FEET HIGH. IF THE MACHINE WAS RUNNING AS USUAL IT BE NO PROBLEM. I HAND SHOVEL THE REST.

 MY ELDEST CALLS ME AND I ASK HER AND BOYFRIEND TO COME OVER. I HAVE ABOUT 5% LEFT TO SHOVEL. THEY HELP ME FINISH IT , LOAD THE BLOWER BACK IN THE VAN , AND I GIVE THEM A PIZZA.

 MY PARENTS HAD THEIR DRIVEWAY DONE TOO EARLY ALSO. THEY NOW HAVE A SHEET OF 1 INCH ICE. THE NEIGHBOR WAS NICE TO SHOVEL THE SNOW BUT LIKE MY NEIGHBOR MADE A MISTAKE AND SHOVELING IT TOO EARLY.

 ANYWAY , WE GO TO THE BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE AND LOAD HIS SMALLER SNOW BLOWER IN MY VAN. I NOW HAVE 2 BLOWERS IN IT.  WE DRIVE TO MY PARENT'S HOUSE TO SHOVEL AND PLOW FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. MY OLD PARK WAS PACKED WITH KIDS SLEDDING.

 WE FINISH AND HAVE SOUP WHILE TALKING TO MY PARENTS. THE BOYFRIEND CAN NOT STOP COUGHING SO WE LEAVE.

 IN THE VAN WE DRIVE TO THE BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE TO DROP HIS SNOW BLOWER OFF AND HIM. HE IS JUST COUGHING NON STOP.

 BACK HOME OUR ELDEST SAYS HELLO TO WHEELS AND THE PUP. I LET HER TAKE THE CAR.

 I HANG OUT BUT DO NOT HAVE DINNER. LATER I HAVE A CHUNK OF MOZZARELLA CHEESE , SPLIT A POPCORN WITH WHEELS , AND 2 SMALL ROCKS GLASSES OF CROWN APPLE.

 I HAVE BEEN WEARING A WINTER WOOL HAT WHEN SITTING IN THE MAIN ROOM. I ACTUALLY TOOK A PICTURE AND SENT IT TO THE KIDS. WHY ?......THE CEILING VENT RIGHT ABOVE MY HEAD DROPS COLD AIR.

 WE WATCH A CUTE LITTLE MOVIE CALLED GIFTED. WE GOT A 7 DAY TRIAL FOR CINEMAX.

 76ERS GET BLOWN OUT BY 50 POINTS BY A LAST PLACE TEAM.

 FLYERS GET SHUT-OUT AND SMOKED BY THE ISLANDERS.

 I BARELY WATCH EITHER TEAM NOW.

 OFF TO BED AROUND 10:30PM. I WAS PRETTY TIRED. I WATCH HOGAN'S HEROES UNTIL11PM AND GO TO BED.

 UP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE BATHROOM AND START THIS BLOG AT 4AM........BLOW.

 IT'S 5:30AM AND I MUST GO BACK TO BED.

  TUESDAY      1 - 27 - 26

 CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT THROUGH SUCH A LONG COLD STINT.

 I CONTINUE TO LOSE WEIGHT WHICH IS A VERY GOOD FEELING. I JUST HOPE I CAN KEEP IT GOING.

 I SHOVEL OUR DRIVEWAY OF ICE CHUNKS. MAN , PLOWING TOO EARLY WAS A MISTAKE BY MY NEIGHBOR.

 I LOAD 2 SNOW BLOWERS AND BRING THEM TO BERWYN LAWN MOWER SERVICE. I PULL UP AND THERE ARE 40 SNOW BLOWERS OUTSIDE. I SAY TO THE WORKER , " I KNEW YOU WERE BUSY BUT DAMN. " HE REPLIES , " THESE ARE JUST THE ONES THAT CAME IN TODAY ".  I WILL NOT SEE MY SNOW BLOWERS UNTIL THE WINTER OF 2028. NOW , YOU KNOW WE WILL GET 10 MORE SNOW STORMS.

 AFTER DROPPING OFF SNOW BLOWERS I HEAD TO MY ELDEST BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE TO PICK UP MY WINTER JACKET MY MOM MENDED. MY MOM FIXED IT IN HOURS. THEY LEFT IT IN HIS CAR FOR ME TO PICK UP THE NEXT DAY. BUT......THERE IS A STORY.

 AFTER SHOVELING MY PARENT'S DRIVEWAY , SIDEWALK , AND FRONT WALKWAY WE HAD LUNCH. DURING LUNCH MY MOM SAW TWO TEARS IN MY SLEEVE WITH WHITE COTTON STUFFING COMING OUT. MY DAD ALSO HAD HIS SAY. HERE IS THE CONVERSATION :

 MOM - " WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SEW THOSE 2 TEARS IN YOUR JACKET ? "

 DAD - " NO , YOU CAN'T FIX THEM. "

 ME - " I DON'T KNOW MOM. THE FABRIC IS SUPER THIN. CAN YOU SEAM THEM ? "

 DAD - " NO SHE CAN'T , IT IS TOO THIN. "

 MOM - " I THINK I CAN. I CAN TRY A PULL OVER SEAM "

 DAD - " NO , THAT WON'T WORK ".

 ME - I TAKE OFF MY JACKET , " ALL YOURS , THANK YOU. "

 DAD - " NO , SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE TIME. YOU'LL BE TOO COLD OUTSIDE NOW. "

 ME - " I HAVE MORE JACKETS AT HOME. "

 I AM WALKING OUTSIDE WITH MY YOUNGEST AND SAY , " HOW MANY TIMES DID MY DAD SAY ' NO ' ? "  SHE REPLIES " FOUR ". I REPLY , " DID YOU SEE WHAT I GREW UP WITH ?  LET ME TELL YOU THE NEGATIVELY MY DAD.........." MY ELDEST ABRUPTLY SAYS , " DAD , DAD , DAD STOP. I KNOW. I KNOW. " WE BOTH LAUGH.

 OH , BY THE WAY . THE REPAIR STITCH WAS EXCELLENT.

 NEXT STOP IS D.M.I. HOME SUPPLY FOR A 5 GALLON BUCKET OF SPACKLE.

 NEXT , I HEAD TO THE NAIL AND LET ME TELL YOU DOING THE MARQUEE TODAY IN A 6 FOOT SNOW DRIFT WAS NOT FUN. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR I ROLLOUT.

 AT HOME I SETTLE IN WITH MORE EMAILING AND POSTING A NAIL BAND LINE-UP FOR THE WEEKEND.

 WHEELS MAKES A NICE CHICKEN DINNER WITH BEANS AND POTATOES. WE WATCH THE NEWS.

 ABSOLUTELY FLOORED SOME POLITICIANS VIEW DEATH OF MALE NURSE AS AN ASSASSIN. BE A FUCKING HUMAN BEING AND USE YOUR EYES AND EVALUATE WHAT YOU FUCKING SAW ON 20 DIFFERENT VIDEO ANGLES. THE GUY WAS SHOT 11 FUCKING TIMES WHILE ON THE GROUND.....AFTER THEY TOOK HIS GUN !! HOW THE FUCK IS THAT " STILL A THREAT !! "

 WE WATCH A MOVIE CALLED THE RIP. IT WAS GOOD.

 OFF TO BEDROOM BY 10PM. MY SAME ROUTINE - EMAILS , POKER , AND HOGAN'S HEROES / THE DAILY SHOW.

 EARLIER I ALSO FINISHED MASTERS OF THE AIR. IT WAS VERY GOOD. ALL TRUE STORIES AND CHARACTERS.

 OFF TO BED AND SLEPT SO-SO AT BEST. I DON'T KNOW HOW I USED BATHROOM 3 TIMES DURING THE NIGHT WHEN I HAD ZERO LATE NIGHT DRINKS OR SNACKS...........BLOW.

  WEDNESDAY       1 - 28 - 26

 A VERY VERY NICE SURPRISE.............

 ENJOYING THE COLD ? ALL YOU BASTARDS WHO SAY , " OH , I LOVE THE WINTER OVER SUMMER. "

  DO MY NORMAL ROUTINE OF COMPUTER WORK BUT BY 10AM I WAS TAPING AND SPACKLING A 2ND FLOOR BEDROOM AND TWO CLOSETS. I FORGOT HOW MUCH I HATE TAPING AND SPACKLING. SLOWLY THINGS ARE GETTING DONE AND WHEELS AND I EVENTUALLY LIKE THE WHOLE 2ND FLOOR RE-CARPETED TOO.

OH , TWICE I TAPPED MY HEAD ON WET SPACKLE IN A CLOSET. LUCKILY , I'M BALD AND IT WAS A QUICK CLEAN UP.

 FOOD SHOPPING BLOWS. I WENT TO ACME FOR WHEELS AND HAD NO IDEA WHERE SHIT WAS. I ASKED FOR HELP LIKE 10 TIMES.

 KINDA COOL - AN ACME REGISTER PERSON GAVE OUT HIS DISCOUNT NUMBER IF PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE ONE.

 STOPPED AT BANK FOR FIVE DOLLAR BILLS AND QUARTERS.

 STOPPED AT THE NAIL TO PREP FOR TOMORROW NIGHT. I ALSO LOADED UP ALCOHOL , SODA , BEER , WATER , NAPKINS , PLATES , AND MORE.

 BACK HOME I LOAD UP 2 HOT TRAYS , PLATES , AND MORE.

 BY 5:15PM WHEELS AND I HEAD TO FELINI'S CAFE. I AM SURPRISING MY DAD FOR HIS 97TH BIRTHDAY BY HAVING THEM CATER IT. HE WAS EXPECTING PIZZA. LOADING FOOD WAS A LITTLE HASSLE FOR IT WAS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AND ONLY IN THE FRONT ON VERY BUSY LANCASTER AVENUE.

 ANYWAY , FELINI'S CAFE DID A GREAT JOB WITH PORTIONS AND PRICE - CHICKEN PARM , PENN ALLA VODKA , ITALIAN ANTIPASTO , BREAD , BUTTER , 2 HOME MADE PIZZAS , AND A BOTTLE OF WINE (FREE).

 FAMILY STOPPED OVER AND IT WAS FUN. IT STARTED AT 6PM AND ENDED AROUND 7:30PM FOR US. IT WORKED OUT PERFECT.

 BACK HOME WE SETTLE IN. THE PUP WAS VERY HAPPY TO SEE US.

 WE WATCH A TRUE HEARTWARMING MOVIE CALLED ROOFMAN WITH CHANNING TATUM ( LOST 70 POUNDS FOR THE ROLL) , KIRSTEN DUNST , JUNO TEMPLE , AND PETER DINKLAGE. IT GOT CLOSE TO 90% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES AND OVER 70% FANS " LIKED " IT. WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD BUT SAD. THE STORYLINE IS ABOUT A REALLY POLITE GUY WHO ROBS MCDONALDS AND OTHER FAST FOOD CHAINS BY CUTTING HOLES THROUGH THE ROOFS AND EVENTUALLY LIVING IN A TOYS R US STORE FOR MONTHS. KINDA COOL , THE FILMING PRODUCTION RE-CREATED THE ENTIRE TOYS R US STORE ONE FLOOR TILE AND ONE TOY AT A TIME.......WOAH.

 OFF TO THE BEDROOM FOR MY ROUTINE. I TOOK SOME ADVIL BECAUSE MY BODY WAS ACHING.

 I WAS KINDA BUMMING THAT I DID ANOTHER " CHEAT " DAY ON MY DIET BUT I REALLY ENJOYED SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY.

  THURSDAY      1 - 29 - 26

 ANOTHER I.C.E. INCIDENT AND KILLING. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU SUPPORT THIS ??!!!  THE ONLY THING SAFE IN THIS COUNTRY IS THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES.

 THIS MONTH OF JANUARY FEELS LIKE 3 MONTHS. GOOD GOD I HAVE EXPERIENCED COLD BUT JESUS H. CAN SOMEONE RAISE THE HEAT JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOVE FUCKING FREEZING ?

 UPSTAIRS I APPLY ANOTHER COAT OF JOINT COMPOUND TO THE HUNDREDS OF WALL PATCHES I FIXED. BEFORE DOING THIS I SANDED HARD. I COME DOWNSTAIRS AND WHEELS SAYS , " WHY ARE YOUR FEET WHITE ? " IT WAS THE WHITE POWDER DUST OF DRIED SPACKLE I JUST SANDED.  WHEN IN A CLOSEST THERE IS NO WHERE TO MOVE. I WAS EVEN CONCERNED BREATHING IT.

 IT TOOK 3 DAYS TO GET A CASH PAYMENT TO OUR SNOW PLOW GUY.

 NEIGHBOR AT MOUNTAIN HOUSE SENDS ME VIDEOS OF 20" OF SNOW AND HOW HIS DOG IS HAVING A BLAST IN IT. HE ALSO SAID OUR DRIVEWAY LOOKS VERY GOOD AND READY FOR RENTERS.

 FORMER RADIO SHOW HOSTS POST PICTURES AND A VIDEO WHEN VACATIONING AT OUR HOME. IT WAS VERY NICE.

 MY DAD CALLS AND TELLS ME HOW HAPPY AND OVERWHELMED HE WAS FOR THE BIRTHDAY PARTY WE THREW HIM AND THE CATERED FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING.

 TRYING TO CONVINCE OUR YOUNGEST TO STAY WITH US A COUPLE OF DAYS. IT IS GETTING HARDER TO DO.

 I CALL IT " PENANCE ". IF YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS. WHAT I DID IS NOT RELIGIOUS AT ALL BUT PERTAINS TO MY DIET.  SINCE I GORGED ON PASTA , CANNOLIS , AND ICE CREAM BIRTHDAY CAKE 2 NIGHTS AGO MY TRADITION IS THE NEXT DAY I MUST " FAST " FROM FOOD. IT IS MY PENANCE OR SACRIFICE. SO TODAY , I FASTED.....KINDA. I DID HAVE ONE SMALL PIECE OF ROTISSERIE CHICKEN AND SEVERAL PIECES OF BROCCOLI WITH CHEESE. NOTHING ELSE DAY OR NIGHT INCLUDING THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.....NO SNACKS OR BOOZE LATE NIGHT.

 AS OF TODAY I HAVE LOST 31 POUNDS. IT FEELS SO GOOD BUT I COULD EASILY LOSE ANOTHER 31 POUNDS. I DON'T THINK MY " PENANCE " DIET IS THE WAY TO GO.

 THE FUNNY THING IS I FIND DOING " PENANCE " IS NOT REALLY THAT HARD.

 SNUGGLED WITH THE PUP AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF SPARTACUS. I LIKED IT.

 WATCH A 1995 MOVIE WITH AT LEAST 20 RECOGNIZABLE ACTORS CALLED THE TUSKAGEE AIRMEN. IT WAS GOOD.

 WHEELS AND I DRIVE TO PICK UP OUR CAR WE LENT TO OUR ELDEST. I HEAD TO THE NAIL FOR OPEN JAM.

 BARTENDER ALWAYS ARRIVES 30 MINUTES EARLY. I LIKE HER AND WE CHILL. THE MUSIC WAS PRETTY GOOD TONIGHT FOR OPEN JAM. THERE WAS A GUEST BAND THAN ALL KINDS OF MUSICIANS PLAY TOGETHER. IT IS PRETTY COOL.

 MAN OUR HOST HAD SOME ISSUES BIG TIME TONIGHT - CAN'T GET A RIDE , THAN TAKING AN UBER , A FRIEND'S TRUCK GETS STUCK IN HER DRIVEWAY AND NEEDS A TOW TRUCK , AND HER CAT ATE HER DOG'S MEDICAL PILL WHICH COULD SERIOUSLY CAUSE DEATH. I TOLD HER , " FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS STAY HOME , I CAN RUN IT FOR A NIGHT. "

 76ERS WITH A BIG COMEBACK WIN OVER THE LAST PLACE WORST TEAM IN THE NBA. THEY HAD A 16 GAME LOSING STREAKING WHEN ENTERING PHILLY TONIGHT.

 HOME BY MIDNIGHT AND I HEAD TO MY BEDROOM FOR MY NORMAL ROUTINE.  I WAS PROUD I DID NOT SNACK OR DRINK ANYTHING.

 OH , I FOUND A PAIR OF SNEAKERS A BAND MEMBER WAS LOOKING FOR 3 MONTHS AGO. HOW IT GOT BURIED UNDER CABLES , IN A PLASTIC CRATE , AND UNDER A BENCH I HAVE NO IDEA.

   FRIDAY      1 - 30 - 26

 FROM ELATED TO BUMMING TO BACK TO SOMEWHERE IN-BETWEEN BUT MOSTLY ELATED.

  HERE IS MY DAY. DOES ANYONE ELSE GO THROUGH THIS ? OH , ITS 4AM.

 I MAKE THE 3RD TEXT IN 3 DAYS TO MY YOUNGEST AND SO JOYFUL I SEE , " I'LL COME HOME AND HANG WITH YA. "

  DO MY MORNING ROUTINE AND THAN WHEELS AND I HEAD TO TEMPLE BURN CENTER. SHE NEEDS TO SEE SPECIALISTS  FOR HER HAND THAT WAS BLISTERED SEVERAL DAYS AGO BY BOILING WATER. THEY CLEANED THE HAND UP , GAVE HER A SPECIAL GLOVE , AND NEW MEDICATION. THE SPECIALISTS SAID IT IS HEALING VERY WELL.

 WHILE WHEELS IS AT THE BURN CENTER I DRIVE AND PICK UP OUR YOUNGEST. IT WORKED OUT PERFECT. BY THE TIME I GOT BACK WHEELS WAS PRETTY MUCH DONE WITH HER APPOINTMENT.

 DURING RIDE I TALK TO A BARTENDER , DOORMAN , AND OUR NEIGHBORS AT EVOLVE COLLISION.

 WE HEAD TO DALESSANDRO'S STEAKS FOR CHEESE STEAKS WITH FRIED ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS. WE HAVE NOT BEEN HERE IN YEARS AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT EXCEPT THEY GOT OUR ORDER WRONG. WE WANTED ONE CHEESE STEAK AND ONE CHICKEN CHEESE STEAK BUT GOT 2 CHEESE STEAKS. AT 2:30PM THERE WAS A LINE OUTSIDE WAITING.

 HEAD TO THE NAIL TO PREP AND HAVE LUNCH. MAN , ITS SO COLD DOING THE MARQUEE SIGN. I ACTUALLY USED GLOVES TO CHANGE THE LETTERS.

 AT HOME THE PUP GREETS US AND WE SETTLE IN.

 BY 6PM WE DECIDE TO HEAD TO FELINI'S CAFE WHERE IT IS PACKED. AGAIN , MEALS WERE VERY GOOD. THEY GIVE US A BOTTLE OF HOME MADE LIQUORE WHICH IS ALWAYS SO GOOD.

 BACK HOME WE MAKE SOME NIGHTCAPS AND SETTLE IN. YES , ANOTHER CHEAT DAY BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT.

 I START OUR GAS FIRE PLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WINTER AND IT WARMS UP THE MAIN ROOM BIG TIME. WE WATCH 3 EPISODES OF PERCY JACKSON. ALL WERE GOOD. IT WAS A SUPER FUN DAY BUT THERE WERE UPS AND DOWNS. HERE THEY ARE.

 UP - YOUNGEST COMING HOME FOR A VISIT AFTER JUST LAST NIGHT SAYING SHE WAS LEANING ON STAYING AT HER APARTMENT.

 DOWN - BERWYN SNOW BLOWER TECH CALLS ME AND SAYS MY BIG SNOW BLOWER CAN NOT BE FIXED DUE TO AN OUTDATED AND UNAVAILABLE PART.

 UP - BERWYN SNOW BLOWER TECH SAYS MY SMALLER SNOW BLOWER WAS AN EASY FIX. IT JUST NEEDED CARBONATOR CLEANED. IT IS READY TO TAKE HOME. I WAS TOLD 2 WEEKS AND THEY FIXED IT IN 3 DAYS.

 DOWN - FOR THE 2ND STRAIGHT COUNT OUR BOTTOM BANK WAS $100 SHORT AT THE NAIL. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN.

 UP - BERWYN SNOW BLOWER TECH AND BRIGGS STRATTON TELL ME IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE SNOW BLOWER. THEY SEARCHED QUICKLY TO NO AVAIL. I SPEND ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND FIND ONE AVAILABLE AND ORDER IT. I CALL BERWYN TECH TO MAKE SURE IT IS THE RIGHT PART WHICH IS CALLED A JACK ASSEMBLY. THE GUY IS SUPER COOL AND EVEN CHECKS A BROKEN DOWN MODEL THAT MATCHES MINE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE PART IS DAMAGED AND SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. SO HOPEFULLY EBAY TO THE RESCUE.

 DOWN - I CHECK MY REPLAY FOR SURVEILLANCE AND IT IS GIVING ME TROUBLE. I TEXT MY SURVEILLANCE TECH AND HE GIVES ME SOME SUGGESTIONS. I WILL CHECK IT OUT TOMORROW.

 I FEEL LIKE EVERY DAY I JUST HAVE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. IT IS SO FRUSTRATING.

 WELP , ITS 6:30AM , I GUESS I'LL TRY TO GO BACK TO SLEEP.

    SATURDAY       1 - 31 - 26

 YOU WANT A LONG DAY AND NIGHT ?  IT JUST NEVER STOPS.......ALL GOOD FOR THE MOST PART.

 MORNING I EMAIL WITH BERWYN SNOW BLOWER TECH. THE GUY IS SUPER COOL. I ORDER A 2ND PART NEEDED TO FIX MY SNOW BLOWER. IF THESE PARTS COME IN IT BE A SMALL LITTLE MIRACLE. 

 UPSTAIRS I SPEND A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR SANDING AND SPACKLING.

 WHEELS AND YOUNGEST TAKE DOWN ALL CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.

 I DRIVE OUT TO BERWYN LAWN MOWER CENTER AND PICK UP SMALL SNOW BLOWER. THEY DID ALOT MORE WORK THAN I THOUGHT WAS NEEDED. $197 WAS THE TOTAL WHICH WAS MOSTLY FAIR. I TESTED THE SNOW BLOWER AT HOME AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS SMALL ONE IS SLOW AND ONLY HAS ONE SPEED BUT NICE TO HAVE.

 BACK HOME I WASTE 2 FUCKING HOURS TRYING TO ACCESS STARZ TO STREAM. I CHATTED WITH ROKU AND TALKED TO SHARP REP ( OUR TV BRAND ) AND BOTH SAID THE TV WAS NOT FIXABLE. 2 FRIGGIN' HOURS AND MY YOUNGEST COMES HOME FROM SHOPPING AND LUNCH WITH WHEELS. SHE SOLVED IT IN 10 MINUTES.

 I DID SO MUCH RE-BOOTING AND RE-STARTING I FUCKING MESSED UP ALL OUR ACCOUNTS. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS STARZ PROMPT CAME UP SAYING , " TOO MANY ACCOUNT HOLDERS PLEASE REMOVE SOME ". I REMOVED ALL OF THEM. THAN I TRIED " GUEST MODE " AND GOT STUCK IN THE SCREEN FOR 45 MINUTES. WHAT A FUCKING NIGHTMARE !!!

 AFTER 2 1/2 HOURS MY YOUNGEST SAYS , " WHO IS ALEX ? "  I REPLY , " OH.......MY......GOD. IT'S IN THE WRONG ACCOUNT NAME !!! " I DELETE WHOEVER THE FUCK ALEX IS AND SWITCH TO MY ACCOUNT......IT GOES RIGHT ON. TWO AND HALF......FUCKING.........HOURS......WASTED !!!

 THE TV NOW HAS PROBLEMS WITH AUDIO WITH A SQUEAKING SOUND WHEN CHARACTERS TALK. IT IS ALSO DROPPING OUT OR BUFFERING WHEN STREAMING. MAN , THIS JUST BLOWS.

 WE TRY TO WATCH THE FINALE EPISODE OF PERCY JACKSON. THE SHOW WITH COMMERCIALS IS ABOUT 1 HOUR. IT TOOK US 2 HOURS TO WATCH WITH ALL THE F'N BUFFERING. I THOUGHT THE FINALE WAS SO-SO.

 WHEELS HEADS TO HER BROTHER'S HOUSE TO TAKE HIM DINNER AGAIN. HE IS STILL FIGHTING A KNEE OPERATION.

 YOUNGEST AND I HEAD TO THE NAIL AND MAN WHAT A SHOW. ANDROMEDA , A WHEELSTOCK BAND , REUNITED AFTER 15 YEARS. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE ALOT OF OLD FRIENDS AND A BIG CROWD. MUSIC WAS EXCELLENT.

 ALL NIGHT I AM GETTING HUGS AND THANK YOU'S. IT IS SO COOL. THE BEST THINK THOUGH........WHEELS MAKES AN APPEARANCE !!

 BACK HOME WE CATCH SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. I HAVE NO DRINKS OR SNACKS BECAUSE I AM IN " PENANCE " MODE. I LOST MORE WEIGHT.

  SUNDAY        2 - 1 - 26

 WELP , STARTING 3RD WEEK OF ICE COLD TEMPERATURES AND SNOW NOT MELTING FOR ANOTHER WEEK. HEY , YOU WINTER PEOPLE , YOU LOVING THIS ?

 DO THE TREADMILL THING AND ADD ANOTHER MINUTE TO MY ROUTINE.

 SO , IT SEEMS I AM DOING EVERY OTHER DAY OF " CHEAT " AND " PENANCE " WITH MY DIET. THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT.

  GET THIS - YESTERDAY I AM AT A 33 POUNDS LOST SINCE DECEMBER 12TH. I AM REALLY PROUD OF THIS AND I CAN NOW SEE MY COCK WHEN STANDING AND LOOKING STRAIGHT DOWN. IT'S A GOOD FEELING.

 YOUNGEST SETS UP A LUNCHEON AT MY PARENT'S HOUSE SINCE SHE MISSED MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY. WE PICKED UP FOOD FROM BOCCELA'S ITALIAN DELI AND IT WAS GOOD. NOT LIKE A I REMEMBER AWESOME GOOD FROM 20 YEARS AGO BUT GOOD. THEIR PORTIONS USED TO BE HUGE. WE GOT SAUSAGE / EGG / CHEESE SANDWICH , A 2 FOOT ITALIAN HOAGIE , AND A CHICKEN CUTLET WITH BROCCOLI RABE ON A LONG ROLL. MY MOM MADE PASTA SOUP AND ALL OF IT WAS VERY GOOD. MY PARENTS WERE ELATED.

 NEXT MORNING I WEIGH MYSELF AND GAINED 2 POUNDS. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO GAIN FUCKING WEIGHT ? FOR 24 HOURS I HAD ONE HOAGIE , A BOWL OF SOUP , A CUP OF PEANUTS , AND 3 GLASSES OF SUGAR FREE TASTE LIKE ASS DIET 7UP. THIS EQUATES TO GAINING TWO FUCKING POUNDS ??!!  WHAT THE FUCK DO SUMO WRESTLERS EAT TO GAIN WEIGHT ??!!

HELPING AN ALL FEMALE BAND TRY TO FIND A BASS PLAYER. THEY ARE CALLED LEADPETAL......VERY GOOD.

 WE STOP AT THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT. JESUS H. DOING THE MARQUEE IS COLD.

 WHEELS HEADS HOME AND I DRIVE MY YOUNGEST BACK TO CENTER CITY. I WAS SO HAPPY WE GOT AN EXTRA DAY WITH HER. I WAS NOT SO HAPPY DROPPING HER OFF. I ASKED IS SHE LIKE TO DRIVE BACK HOME WITH ME FOR ANOTHER DAY BUT.............YOUNGEST DECLINED (AND GIGGLED)

 TALKED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW FOR 35 MINUTES. MAN HE IS HAVING A TOUGH TIME WITH POST KNEE SURGERY. DOCTOR SAID " TWO WEEKS YOU'LL BE WALKING ". IT IS NOW 6 WEEKS WITH A WALKER AND MEDS NEEDED EVERY DAY THROUGH A STINT IN HIS RIGHT ARM.

 AT HOME WE HAVE TO RESET SOME STREAMING ACCOUNTS SINCE I WAS AN ASSHOLE AND MESSED EVERYTHING UP ON OUR ROKU AND TV.

 FRIENDS STOP OVER AND RESET OUR APPLE + ACCOUNT WE ARE USING VIA THEM.

 WHEELS AND I WATCH AND FINISH SEASON 1 OF SHRINKING. IT IS VERY GOOD.

 WE ALSO WATCH A DOCUMENTARY ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW AND HOW INSTRUMENTAL HE WAS BRINGING IN AFRICAN AMERICAN ACTS. IT WAS VERY GOOD. THE PERFORMERS WERE HUGE NAMES.

 OFF TO BED AND I FEEL FAT AGAIN OVER THAT 2 DAMN POUNDS GAINED. IT JUST BOGGLES MY MIND THAT A 300 POUND FAT GUY GAINS WEIGHT BY EATING ONE HOAGIE IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. ONE..........F'N......HOAGIE.

 HAD A DREAM ABOUT AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ANACONDA SNAKES IN OUR AREA. THEY WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

  MONDAY     2 - 2 - 26

  TRUMP SUING PEOPLE - 4,000 CASES.

  TRUMP - 100 BUSINESS TAX DISPUTES.

  MORE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED - OVER 3 MILLION DOCUMENTS. TRUMP IS MENTIONED 3,000 TIMES.

 25 WOMEN CAME OUT REVEALING TRUMP WAS ON THE ISLAND.

 ONE YOUNG GIRL SAID SHE GAVE TRUMP A BLOW JOB.

 TWO OTHER YOUNG GIRLS SAID THEY GAVE HM A HAND JOB WITH BLACK GLOVES ON. TRUMP SAID , " HE NEVER HAS STEPPED FOOT ON EPSTEIN ISLAND ".

 TRUMP WAS ON THE FLIGHT LOGS AND EPSTEIN PLANE 7 TIMES.

 TRUMP SAID , " HE BANGED MELANIA ON EPSTEIN'S PLANE.

 TRUMP - LOST IN COURT FOR FINGERING A YOUNG GIRL. BY LAW , THIS IS CONSIDERED RAPE. THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN NEW YORK STATE COURT SYSTEM.

  NEW EPSTEIN FILES SHOW DOCUMENTS OF EPSTEIN AND TRUMP HAVING " TESTING PARTIES " WHERE YOUNG GIRLS WOULD BE " FINGERED " TO SEE WHO IS THE TIGHTEST THAN AUCTIONED OFF.

 TRUMP SAID EPSTEIN CASE IS A COMPLETE HOAX OVER 1100 TIMES. HE ALSO SAID BIDEN WAS BEHIND IT. BIDEN WAS NEVER MENTIONED BEING ON THE ISLAND OUT OF 3 MILLION DOCUMENTS.

 FACTS MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - GO TRUMP !!

   30+ DEGREES ?  WHOA....IT FEELS LIKE SUMMER.  OH , THEY ARE CALLING FOR 7 DEGREES ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

 BACK TO " PENANCE " DIET AFTER MY 2 POUND GAIN OF YESTERDAY'S LUNCHEON.

 TAKE A RIDE TO THE NAIL EARLY AFTERNOON AND HUNG OUT ABOUT 2 HOURS DOING STUFF. CHANGING THE MARQUEE LETTERS WAS A LITTLE MORE PLEASANT IN 30+ DEGREES BUT I STILL WORE GLOVES. OH I DID ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF SHOVELING TOO. I CONSIDERED IT A WORK-OUT.

 HAD TO LET A BARTENDER GO AND WE BOTH MUTUALLY AGREED. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS PERSON BUT HER NEW JOB HAS PACKED HOURS ON WEEKENDS AND SHE IS A 45 MINUTE DRIVE TO THE NAIL. WE AGREED TO KEEP IN TOUCH AND IF SHE EVER NEEDED HOURS TO TEXT ME. WE BOTH AGREED TO STAY IN TOUCH. I WAS AMUSED AND HAPPY WHEN SHE SENT ME A MEME VIDEO OF A YOUNG GIRL AND A YOUNG BOY SHAKING HANDS STANDING OVER A BICYCLE. IT WAS ADORABLE.

 ELDEST MISSES A JOB INTERVIEW. I WAS PRETTY BUMMED OUT ABOUT IT. I GUESS MY OLD DOG DAYS WERE DIFFERENT WHEN YOU MAKE A PROMISE TO SOMEONE ( 3 TIMES ) TO SHOW UP.  I HAD 3 GIRLS ASK FOR BARTENDING JOBS IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS AND ALL 3 NEVER SHOWED UP. EVEN YESTERDAY A GIRL ASKED ABOUT HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY AT THE NAIL. SHE DID NOT RETURN MY EMAIL OR PHONE CALL.

 SMALL WORLD ON FB MARKETPLACE. A SELLER KNEW A BAND MEMBER FROM OUR WHEELSTOCK DAYS. ACTUALLY , HE WAS HER SON-IN-LAW. I NEVER GOT THE PRODUCT.

 ZERO FOOD AND DRINK ALL DAY AND NIGHT. I DID HAVE SEVERAL SIPS OF WATER.  I THINK THIS " PENANCE " DIET IS NOT THE BEST IDEA FOR LOSING WEIGHT BUT IT PISSES ME OFF WHEN I GAIN WEIGHT WHEN EATING HALF OF WHAT I USED TOO.

 BACK HOME I SETTLE IN AND CAN'T GET OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL 7PM.

 WHEELS AND I WATCH A DIFFERENT STYLE MOVIE BUT HEART BREAKING AND TRUE IN LIFE. IT WAS CALLED " IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU. " IT GOT GOOD REVIEWS. IT IS #1 COUNTRY WIDE ON HBOMAX.

 SPEAKING OF REVIEWS - MELANIA GOT 99% LIKED. I WONDER WHO " LIKED " IT. BUT OTHER FORMATS NOT SO HIGH. ROTTEN TOMATOES - 6% , IMDb 1.3. OUT OF 10 ( LOWEST IN THE HISTORY OF THIS ACCOUNT ) , AND GOOGLE REVIEWERS 12% LIKED IT. OH , I WON'T GET INTO WHAT CRITICS WROTE.

 WE ALSO WATCHED 2 EPISODES OF SHRINKING. AGAIN , THIS IS GOOD TO VERY GOOD TV SERIES.

 AROUND 10:30PM I HEAD TO MY BEDROOM AND DO MY NORMAL ROUTINE. IN BED BY 11:15PM AND SLEPT OKAY. I GOT OUT OF BED TO USE THE BATHROOM AROUND 5:50AM. THE FUNNY THING.....WHEELS WAS COMING OUT OF THE BATHROOM AS I WAS GOING IN.

  TUESDAY      2 - 3 - 26

 IT'S ALL ABOUT TIMING............

 NORMAL ROUTINE AND A FAIR AMOUNT OF BANDS WERE BOOKED TODAY ALONG WITH A PRIVATE PARTY OF 60+ PEOPLE.

 FB MARKETPLACE RUN - I TAKE A RIDE TO MEDIA AND PICK UP AN INDOOR CAMERA WITH ALL FEATURES.

 TIMING : STORY 1 - I MADE SOME CALLS ABOUT REPLACING A CAR KEY. SO YOU KNOW HARDWARE STORES CAN NOT DO IT. I CALL ONE PLACE AND THEY GIVE ME A PRICE OF $250 TO $300. I WAS ASTONISHED HOW EXPENSIVE IT WAS. I CALL A 2ND PLACE JUST TO GET A 2ND OPINION..........$85.  I DRIVE THERE WHICH WAS ONLY 7 MINUTES FROM MY FB RUN. THE GIRL EMPLOYEE WAS VERY COOL.

 CONTINUING THIS " TIMING " STORY - THE REASON FOR GETTING A REPLACEMENT KEY IS I SEARCHED MY HOUSE 15 TIMES FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS AND COULD NOT FIND THE DAMN BACK-UP KEY FOR OUR TOYOTA RAV. THIS HAS BEEN SO FRUSTRATING AND UNNERVING BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE ONE CAR KEY. I AM DRIVING HOME AND I THINK TO MYSELF , " DID I EVER CHECK THE BLACK DVD BOX IN OUR MAIN ROOM ? "  ON OCCASION , I WOULD PLACE CAR KEYS IN THERE.

 I ARRIVE HOME AND IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE BLACK DVD BOX. I OPEN IT AND THERE IS THE 2ND F'N CAR KEY. I JUST SPEND $85 ELEVEN MINUTES AGO FOR NOTHING. I TALK TO WHEELS AND MY COUSIN AND BOTH SAY NOT TO RETURN THE KEY FOR A REFUND. I AGREED WITH THEM. MAN , IT'S ALL ABOUT TIMING. I WAS SEMI-PISSED AT MYSELF I DID NOT CHECK THIS BLACK DVD BOX BEFORE.

 THE PENANCE DIET - I HAD TO SERVE PENANCE FOR 24 HOURS AFTER LUNCHEON AT MY PARENTS IN WHICH I GAINED 2 POUNDS. WELL , I LOST 3 POUNDS AFTER THE PENANCE. SO.....DOWN ANOTHER POUND. I ADD ANOTHER MINUTE TO MY TREADMILL ROUTINE AND WEIGH MYSELF. I HAVE LOST 33+ POUNDS SO FAR. IT IS A DAMN GOOD FEELING. I FEEL SO LESS FAT.

 AFTER SHORT WORK-OUT I HEAD TO THE SHOWER. I AM NAKED AND WALK INTO THE OFFICE WHERE WHEELS IS AT. I SAY TO HER ( SHE IS NOT LOOKING AT ME ) , " HEY , I AM GOING TO SHOWER AND SHAVE. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING YOU CAN JOIN ME ? " SHE HEARS " JOIN ME " AND SPINS AROUND USING HER OFFICE CHAIR. SHE SEES I'M NAKED AND LAUGHS. I AM SPARTACUS.

 SHOWERED AND SHAVED AND I FEEL GOOD. I SEE THE PUP ON THE BED SO I APPLY MEDS TO HER PAWS AND VAGINA. YEP , THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING ON MY BED.

 THE PUP RELUCTANTLY JOINS ME ON THE COUCH. I WATCH 2 EPISODES OF SPARTACUS. BOTH WERE GOOD IF YOU LIKE CONTINUOUS GLADIATOR FIGHTING , GUYS DONGS HANGING OUT , AND WOMEN GETTING BANGED. I DID NOT KNOW ONE FEMALE ACTRESS WAS LUCY LAWLESS ( XENA : WARRIOR PRINCESS ).....WHO GETS BANGED ALL THE TIME.

 WHEELS MAKES A NICE SAUSAGE , PEPPER , ONION OVER RICE DINER WITH SPINACH ON THE SIDE. I PICK UP ONE SAUSAGE ( ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG ) AND SAY TO WHEELS , " HMM........IT'S A LITTLE SMALLER BUT DOES IT LOOK FAMILIAR ? " WHEELS LAUGHS.

 TALK TO YOUNGEST AND ELDEST WHICH IS ALWAYS NICE.

 TIMING : STORY 2 - THIS JUST WENT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.

 THIS IS THE TIMELINE :

 - AT 6:30PM I AM CHECKING EMAILS AND SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF. I SEE A FACEBOOK POST FROM A LADY WRITING , " ANYONE WANT LAST MINUTE FLYERS TICKETS ? " A TON OF PEOPLE RESPOND , " ARE THEY AVAILABLE AND HOW MUCH " THE LADY ANSWERS VERY QUICKLY TO AT LEAST 15 COMMENTS. SHE ALWAYS SAYS , " YES THEY ARE AVAILABLE , I WILL PM YOU. " 

 - I AM CURIOUS SO MANY INQUIRIES AND NO ONE GOT THESE TICKETS WHICH , BY THE WAY , ARE 2ND ROW , 8 SEATS DOWN FROM VISITING PLAYERS BENCH. I THINK ABOUT COMMENTING MYSELF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND DECIDE , " WHAT THE HELL , I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT....THINKING FREE. " NOW IT IS 6:35PM AND THE GAME STARTS AT 7PM.

 - I COMMENT AND SHE IMMEDIATELY PM'S ME SAYING SHE LIKE $200 A TICKET BUT WILL DO $175. I PRETEND I AM INTERESTED BUT MY " FRIEND " CAN'T GO. SHE SAYS , " I WISH SOMEONE JUST COMMIT BECAUSE I JUST GIVE THEM AWAY. " I RESPOND , " I THINK PEOPLE WILL RESPOND MORE IF YOU GIVE THEM AWAY. LET ME CALL MY DAUGHTER. THE LADY RESPONDS , " OH PLEASE WOULD YOU ? "   I ASKED WHEELS FIRST AND TO MY TOTAL SURPRISE SHE SAYS , " YES I'LL GO. " AND SHE THINKS I'M PAYING $175 A TICKET. I ALSO CALL MY ELDEST AND YOUNGEST WHO LIKE TO GO BUT I DECIDE , IF THIS IS REAL , WHEELS AND I WILL GO.

 - I AM TOTALLY SURPRISED THIS IS LEGIT. WE GET IN THE CAR AND HEAD TOWARDS WELLS FARGO CENTER ( NOW XFINITY) WHILE WHEELS DOWNLOADS TICKETS AND PARKING VIA HER CELL PHONE. I EVEN SAYS , " IF THIS WOMAN ASKS FOR A CREDIT CARD OR VENMO WE TURN AROUND AND KNOW ITS A SCAM."  WHEELS MESSAGES THE LADY BECAUSE THERE SOME TROUBLE DOWNLOADING TICKETS. BUT , AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES THEY FIGURED IT OUT TOGETHER. WE ARE GETTING 2ND ROW SEATS WITH PARKING......FOR FREE. THESE TICKETS RANGE FROM $350 TO $600 VIA TICKET MASTER. THIS........IS.....AWESOME !!!

 - WE MAKE VERY GOOD TIME AND GET TO PARKING LOT RESERVED FOR US. WHEELS SHOWS ATTENDANT HER CELL PHONE , HE SCANS , AND BANG WE ARE IN. I AM VERY SURPRISED THERE ARE A SHIT LOAD OF CARS STILL ENTERING ALL PARKING LOTS. I MEAN THE 1ST PERIOD IS HALF OVER. WE ARE LISTENING ON THE RADIO AND THE FLYERS ARE UP 1 - 0.

 - WE ARE IN THE LOT AND THERE IS ZERO PARKING WITH AT LEAST 25 CARS LOOKING INCLUDING US. THAN.....I PULL A MACGYVER. I SEE TWO BUSSES PARKED SIDEWAYS AND BEHIND ONE BUS THERE IS JUST ENOUGH ROOM TO PULL A CAR IN. TECHNICALLY IT IS NOT A PARKING SPACE AND WHEELS EVEN SAYS , " WE SHOULD PROBABLY NOT PARK HERE AND BLOCK THE BUS IN. " OF COURSE I DO. AT LEAST 20 CARS WENT BY THIS SPACE. WHEN WE GET OUT OF THE CAR I EVEN ASK THE BUS DRIVER , " IS HE COOL WITH ME PARKING BEHIND HIM. I OFFER MY CELL PHONE IF HE LIKE TO TEXT ME IF HE IS LEAVING EARLIER THAN END OF GAME. THE GUY IS SUPER COOL AND SAYS, " NO WORRIES , I'M GOING NO WHERE. GO ENJOY THE GAME. "

 - SO AGAIN IT'S ABOUT TIMING. BY PARKING IN THE SMALL SPACE BEHIND A BUS I SAVED AT LEAST 30+ MINUTES OR MORE. WHEELS AND I HEAD TO THE STADIUM. AN ATTENDANT SCANS OUR TICKETS AND WE ARE IN. THE WELLS FARGO CENTER IS BUZZING. WE ARRIVE AND THERE IS 10 MINUTES LEFT IN THE FIRST PERIOD. TO ME , THAT IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD SINCE THIS WHOLE TICKET BUYING THING STARTED AT 6:35PM FOR A 7PM START.

 - WE GET TWO 20 OUNCE BEERS WITH A 10% THAT COMES TO $40......OUCH.  WHEELS USES THE BATHROOM AND THAN WE GET TO OUR SEATS WHICH ARE AWESOME. THERE IS 7+ MINUTES LEFT IN THE FIRST PERIOD. WE ARE GIGGLING AND I AM SUPER GLAD WHEELS WAS SO SPONTANEOUS IN SAYING , " YEAH , I'LL GO ". SHE NOW KNOWS EVERYTHING IS FREE.

 - OUR SEATS ARE 4 FEET FROM THE PLEXY GLASS AND THE PLAYERS. I TAKE PICTURES AND A VIDEO OF ALEX OVECHKIN. THIS IS A SUPER COOL EXPERIENCE. I POST ON FB TOO. I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW WE TIMED GETTING THE TICKETS , PARKING, AND THE DRIVE HERE WHERE EVERYTHING JUST TIMED PERFECTLY. WE DID HAVE SOME VOCAL WASHINGTON FANS NEAR US.  THE FLYERS WERE UP 2 - 0 BUT WASHINGTON TIED IT 2 - 2.

 - WELL ,THE FLYERS TIMED IT PERFECTLY BY SCORING A GO AHEAD GOAL WITH 5 MINUTES LEFT. THAN SEALED IT WITH AN EMPTY NET GOAL WITH JUST 15 SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME. MAN , DID ME AND FLYERS FANS LET THE CAPITAL FANS KNOW IT. I F'N SCREAMED AND POINTED RIGHT AT THEM YELLING , " YEAHHHHHH !! SUCK IT !! GO BACK TO FUCKING WASHINGTON !! " IT WAS AWESOME.

 - BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD PERIOD WE WALK AROUND , GRAB ANOTHER BEER TO SPLIT ( WHICH I HAD ABOUT 1 OUNCE ) AND SPLIT A PRETZEL. WE ENJOYED THE ENTIRE SURROUNDINGS. THE PLACE REALLY LOOKS GOOD AND FUN WITH TONS OF EATERIES AND BEER BARS. BACK TO OUR SEATS FOR A LATE GOAL WIN. THIS NIGHT WAS TIMED PERFECTLY. A GREAT VICTORY OVER A TEAM THAT USUALLY BEATS US.

 - WE WALK TO OUR CAR AND MAKE GOOD TIME TOO. WHEELS AND I HOLD HANDS AND I MAKE A JOKE ABOUT IT. NOW , ANOTHER GOOD " TIMING " THING HAPPENS. SINCE WE ARE PARKED BEHIND A BUS WE ARE ABLE TO ACCESS 2 EXITS. WE PICK THE SHORTER LINE AND IN 31 MINUTES WE ARE HOME. 31 MINUTES ??!! FROM A PACKED SOLD OUT STADIUM PARKING LOT IS UNHEARD-OF !!

 - OUR ELDEST TEXTS US WE WERE ON TV SEVERAL TIMES.

 ON THE DRIVE HOME WE TALK TO OUR YOUNGEST ABOUT THIS WHOLE " TIMING " EVENT WE GOT TO DO AND BEING SPONTANEOUS. IT WAS AWESOME.

 WE ARRIVE HOME AND THE PUP GREETS US. WE WATCH 2 EPISODES OF SHRINKING AND BOTH WERE VERY GOOD. BY MIDNIGHT WE ARE OFF TO BED. THAT WAS........FUN.

 OH , I WAS SENDING PICTURES TO FAMILY AND ONE BROTHER OUT OF COUNTRY SENDS ME A WHALE WATCHING PICTURE. THE WHALE'S WHOLE HEAD IS OUT OF THE WATER ALMOST LEANING ON THE BOAT'S EDGE. THAT WAS SO COOL AND I WAS ENVIOUS BECAUSE WE DID A WHALE WATCHING TOUR AND SAW NO WHALES.....EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A 70 TO 80% CHANCE OF SEEING ONE.......BLOW. NO GOOD TIMING THERE.

  WEDNESDAY     2 - 4 - 26

 THIS WEIGHT LOSS STUFF FUCKING BLOWS. I DID " PENANCE " AND LOST ONLY 1 POUND AFTER GAINING 2 POUNDS THE DAY BEFORE BECAUSE OF A CHEAT DAY AND FLYERS GAME. IT WAS NOT A FULL 100% PENANCE BECAUSE I HAD A BOWL OF CEREAL IN THE MORNING ALONG WITH 3 MEATBALLS AND 3 TINY TINY PIECES OF CHICKEN. THIS IS 24 HOURS !! IMAGINE THAT ? I FUCKING LOST NOTHING FOR THE MOST PART........BLOW.

 I EVEN DID A HARD WORKOUT BY " SPONGING " ALL DRYWALL PATCHES I SPACKLED. I MEAN I WAS SWEATING ESPECIALLY IN THE CLOSETS.......STILL FUCKING NO SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT LOSS.......BLOW.

 STILL HAPPY OVER YESTERDAY'S FREE FLYERS GAME TICKETS AND PARKING. MAN , THAT WAS FUN PLUS I GOT SOME APPLE. THE GIRL WHO GAVE US THE TICKETS MESSAGED ME TODAY AND I SENT A PICTURE OF THE MIGHTY MITES PLAYING BETWEEN PERIODS AND THANKED HER.

 WATCH 2 MORE EPISODES OF PEOPLE KILLING PEOPLE AND GIRLS GETTING BANGED SPARTACUS. HEY , ITS ENTERTAINING.

 MOSTLY A CHILL DAY WHICH IS KINDA RARE.

 I SWEAR I FORGET 50% OF WHAT I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT. I KNOW I MADE WHEELS BURST OUT LOUD LAUGH SEVERAL TIMES BUT I FORGET ALL 3 STORIES.

 WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH A MOVIE CALLED SLEEPING DOGS WITH RUSSELL CROWE. IT WAS GOOD.

 WATCH 2 EPISODES OF SHRINKING. AGAIN , VERY GOOD. NOW OUR ELDEST LIKES IT.

 OFF TO BED AND FORGOT 2 DREAMS.......BLOW.

 THOUGH I HAD UNDER 2 OUNCES OF WATER TO DRINK ALL DAY AND NIGHT I STILL GOT UP TO USE BATHROOM 3 TIMES......BLOW.

  THURSDAY     2 - 5 - 26

 KINDA DISAPPOINTED MY " PENANCE " DAY DIET DID NOT WORK. IT WAS NOT A FULL 100% PENANCE WHICH IS THE REASON. I CONTINUE TO NOT HAVE LATE NIGHT SNACKS OR BOOZE AND IT DOES NOT SEEM TO HELP.

  PICK UP ELDEST AND SHE GOES TO WORK WHILE I AM AT THE NAIL. I PLACE A DRYWALL PATCH OVER THE BATHROOM CEILING HOLE THAT HAS BEEN LEAKING. I WILL NOT FULLY FIX IT UNTIL THE NEXT RAIN. I DO 3 OTHER PROJECTS.

 ELDEST PICKS ME UP AND SAYS , " YOU WANNA DO LUNCH ? " I SAY , " FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK THAT. IF YOU DO 2 SMALL PROJECTS FOR ME I'LL TAKE YOU TO A DINER. " SHE BACKS UP THE CAR GIGGLING.

 BACK IN THE NAIL SHE INSTALLS A CAMERA FOR ME IN UNDER 4 MINUTES.

 WE HEAD TO LLANARCH DINER AND HAVE A VERY GOOD BRUNCH. I HAD A SPINACH AND SWISS OMELET WITH FRIED SEASONED TOMATOES INSTEAD OF HASH BROWNS OR FIRES. ACROSS THE BOARD EVERYTHING WAS GOOD THOUGH THE NICE WAITRESS FORGOT MY SIDE ORDER OF SAUSAGE. I GUESS SHE FIGURED I AM STILL FAT AND DID NOT NEED IT.

 OFF TO GIANT TO SHOP FOR HOME , NAIL , AND ELDEST.

 I DROP HER OFF AND HAD A REALLY NICE TIME. BACK HOME TO CHILL AND CHECK EMAILS.

 GOT A PHONE CALL FROM A VILLANOVA STUDENT WHO WANTED THE NAIL TO HOST A 100 PERSON PARTY. I DENIED IT.

 GOT HOME AND SAW BOTH SNOW BLOWER PARTS ARRIVED SO I TOOK A RIDE TO BERWYN LAWNMOWER TO DROP THEM OFF. MAN , I HOPE THEY WORK.

 BACK HOME AGAIN AND I WALK THE STEP TREADMILL , MAKE COPIES OF CREDIT CARDS SLIPS , AND PUT A FINAL COAT OF SPACKLE IN 2ND FLOOR BEDROOM AND 2 CLOSETS.

 GET WORK DONE AND SETTLE IN.

 WE TURN ON FLYERS WHO JUST TIED THE GAME WITH ONLY 1 MINUTE LEFT. THEY LOSE IN OVERTIME......BLOW.

 76ERS BLOW A 14 POINT LEAD AND LOSE........BLOW.

 WE WATCH A MOVIE CALLED THE WRECKING CREW WITH DAVE BAUTISTA ,  JASON MOMOA , AND MORENA BACCARIN (PIECE OF ASS GIRLFRIEND FROM DEADPOOL). IT WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD WITH HUMOR , SPECIAL EFFECTS , AND INTEREST. VERY GOOD CHEMISTRY BETWEEN ACTORS AND A 2ND MOVIE WILL BE MADE.

 WE WATCH 2 MORE EPISODES OF SHRINKING. THIS TV SERIES IS VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT.

 OFF TO BEDROOM TO CHECK EMAILS , PLAY SOME POKER , AND WIND DOWN THE NIGHT.

  FRIDAY        2 - 6 - 26

 WAS HOPING FOR A BIGGER CROWD NIGHT BUT I HAVE SEEN IT ALL. SOME REALLY GOOD MUSIC AND VERY COOL BAND MEMBERS ALONG WITH FANS.

 OFF TO THE NAIL TO LET MY ELDEST USE MY CAR. I GOT SOME THINGS DONE. ONE MAIN JOB WAS VACUUMING FOR 30 MINUTES.

  TRUMP POSTING VIDEO OF OBAMA'S AS APES.  I KNOW TRUMP SUPPORTERS WILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY AND NO BIG DEAL. BUT I JUST DON'T FUCKING GET HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THIS GUY. HE IS MENTIONED THOUSANDS OF TIMES IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. DOES THIS NOT CHANGE YOUR VIEW ? WHAT KIND OF FUCKING HUMAN ARE YOU ? THESE WERE LITTLE GIRLS BEING RAPED. USE FUCKING COMMON SENSE - IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK , WALKS LIKE A DUCK , AND THAN GUESS WHAT?......IT'S A FUCKING DUCK.

 I READ VIA GOOGLE IF YOU LIKE TO LOSE A POUND OR TWO A WEEK COUNT YOUR CALORIES. AN EASY WAY TO CALCULATE IS WEIGHT TIMES 10. SO , IF YOU WEIGH 300 POUNDS MULTIPLY THAT BY 10 WHICH IS 3,000 CALORIES. THIS WOULD BE YOUR CALORIE INTAKE PER DAY TO LOSE A POUND A WEEK.

 SO , I FIGURED OUT WHAT I HAD IN 24 HOURS TODAY - TWO 8 OUNCE BURGERS ( NO BREAD OR ROLL ) WITH 2 OUNCES OF MOZZARELLA AND 2 OUNCES OF PIZZA SAUCE ( I WAS MAKING PIZZA BURGERS ) , 3 LEFTOVER MEATBALLS , 2 CRANBERRY ALMOND CHOCOLATE PROTEIN KIND BARS , 1 APPLE CINNAMON NUTRI GRAIN BAR , AND 32 OUNCES OF ZERO SUGAR FREE TASTE LIKE CHAPPED DRY ASS 7/UP. NOW THIS IS THE WHOLE FUCKING DAY AND MOST OF IT I ATE IN ONE SITTING.

 ALL THIS TOTALS 2606 CALORIES. I HAD NO BREAKFAST , NO DINNER , NO DAILY SNACKS , NO LATE NIGHT SNACKS , AND NO FUCKING BOOZE.......ANNNNNND I GAINED A 1/2 POUND. HOW IN THE WIDE WORLD OF FUCK CAN I GAIN WEIGHT WITH THIS INTAKE ?

 I WAS SO PISSED WHEN WEIGHING MYSELF THIS MORNING. I JUST DON'T GET IT. I BASICALLY GIVEN UP FUCKING DRINKING BOOZE FOR NOTHING. SO DRINKING TONIGHT.

 WATCHED 2 EPISODES OF SPARTACUS. I EVEN READ ABOUT HIM AND HIS SLAVERY UPRISING AGAINST THE ROMANS. IT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING.

 COLD IS COMING AGAIN. POCONOS IT WILL BE UNDER ZERO DEGREES. HERE IT WILL BE SINGLE DIGIT COLD.

  AN OLDER WOMAN TONIGHT SAID ATTENDANCE WAS LOW BECAUSE OF BITTER COLD. I SAID , " BITTER ? IT'S 34 DEGREES. THIS IS NOT BITTER COLD. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING ALL THIS TIME ? "

 BARTENDERS WERE SUPER COOL AND I REALLY ENJOY WORKING WITH THEM. I FELT BAD ABOUT THE TIPS THEY MADE SO I GAVE THEM CASH OUT OF MY POCKET.

 BACK HOME I GO RIGHT TO MY BEDROOM AROUND 11:30PM. I DO MY NORMAL ROUTINE. ONE THING THAT WAS ANNOYING. MY BOXERS GOT A SPLIT RIGHT WHERE MY PRIVATE PARTS ARE SO MY COCK KEPT SLIPPING OUT DURING THE NIGHT EVERY TIME I TURNED OR MOVED. ( IT WAS A SMALL OPENING )

  SATURDAY       2 - 7 - 26

 IN 29 YEARS THIS WAS THE COLDEST I EVER EXPERIENCED CHANGING THE NAIL'S OUTSIDE MARQUEE SIGN. MY GOD ARE YOU " WINTER " PEOPLE STILL HAPPY ?

 AGAIN , EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN MY " PENANCE " DIET. ANOTHER DAY OF GAINING WEIGHT. YOU SAW WHAT I WROTE YESTERDAY....GET THIS. TODAY, I HAD ONE F'N TURKEY SANDWICH ON WHITE BREAD WITH CHEESE , TOMATO , AND MAYO. I ALSO HAD 2 NUTRI-BARS AND A SLICED PEAR. THAT IS IT FOR 24 HOURS AND YOU KNOW WHAT ? I F'N GAINED .2 OF A POUND. I EVEN WALKED ON MY STAIR TREADMILL. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ??!!!!!!!!!!

  THE BITTER COLD CONTINUES AT LEAST FOR ANOTHER DAY AND THAN TEMPS WILL SLOWLY RISE TO A BALMY 40+ DEGREES BY WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL FEEL LIKE FLORIDA AND 80 DEGREES TO US.

 BACK HOME AFTER PREPPING THE NAIL. I WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF SPARTACUS. IT WAS GOOD IN A GLADIATOR KILL / BANG WOMEN SLAVES THE WHOLE EPISODE KIND OF WAY. MY GOD , DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN BACK THAN ?

 WHEELS AND YOUNGEST GO TO EXIT 13 FOR DINNER WHILE I HAVING NOTHING......BLOW. WHEN THEY GOT BACK THEY TOLD ME FOOD WAS " OKAY AT BEST ". A LITTLE ITALY JOKE THERE.

 I HEAD TO THE NAIL AND LUCKILY A BARTENDER STOPPED IN. SHE HELPS WITH DRINK AND FOOD ORDERS UNTIL THE 2ND BARTENDER I TEXTED TO COME IN NOW. HOW WAS IT BUSIER TONIGHT THAN LAST NIGHT ?

 ALL THE BANDS WERE FUN , SUPER COOL , AND FANS WERE RECEPTIVE. I TALKED TO 2 BANDS WITH FEMALE LEADS TO PUT A FUTURE SHOW TOGETHER WITH POSSIBLY 2 OTHER FEMALE LED BANDS SURROUNDED BY A BIRTHDAY PARTY. OH , THE LEAD SINGERS ARE ADORABLE. MY GOD TO BE YOUNG AGAIN.

 OUR BARTENDER STUDYING TO BE AN E.M.T. GAVE OUT FREE BLOOD PRESSURE TESTS. SHE GAVE AT LEAST 20 TESTS. I WON WITH A 150 OVER 100 READING.

 A SLIGHTLY FEELING GOOD PATRON JUST WOULD NOT LEAVE. HE TOLD ME STORIES 1 INCH FROM MY EAR AND KEPT TOUCHING ME.  HE DID NOT READ MY BODY LANGUAGE VERY WELL.

 A PENANCE TEST - THIS WAS SO TOUGH MY YOUNGEST EVEN SAID , " HEY , GOOD JOB. " A PATRON/LEAD SINGER CAME IN TO WATCH HIS FRIEND'S BAND. HE HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS. EVERY TIME I HANG OUT AT THE END OF THE NIGHT AND DRINK BEERS AND DO SHOTS. TONIGHT.......I DID NONE. IT WAS FRIGGIN' PAINFUL. MY REWARD.....I STILL GAINED WEIGHT. THIS WHOLE DIET I PRETTY MUCH CUT OUT LATE NIGHT SNACKS AND ALCOHOL BY 90% BUT I STILL GAIN WEIGHT. I AM CLOSE TO JUST GOING BACK TO HAVING FUN , EATING FOOD , AND GETTING HAMMERED EACH NIGHT. WHO CARES IF I CAN SEE MY COCK NOW WHILE STANDING UP.

 AFTER MIDNIGHT WE ROLL HOME. WE ARE SUPER GREETED BY THE PUP WHICH WAS FUNNY. SHE WAS INCREDIBLY EXCITED TO SEE US. WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH AN EPISODE OF FALLOUT. IT WAS GOOD. I HAVE 2 SIPS OF WATER NOT EVEN TOTALING AN OUNCE.

 OFF TO BED AFTER 1:15AM THINKING I HAD TO LOSE WEIGHT WHEN I ONLY ATE A TURKEY SANDWICH ALL DAY.

   SUNDAY     2 - 8 - 26

 IT'S OFFICIAL THE EAGLES ARE NO LONGER THE REIGNING SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS. CONGRATS TO THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS. I THINK THEIR FANS ARE ALOT LIKE OURS. THE GAME WAS PRETTY MUCH ONE SIDED.

 BAD BUNNY HALFTIME SHOW - A HUGE PAGEANTRY OF STORIES , MEANING , MEMORIES , A REAL WEDDING , SURPRISE GUESTS ( LADY GAGA / RICKY MARTIN ) AND MORE. MOST I DID NOT UNDERSTAND BUT IT WAS A SPECTACLE. THE NEXT DAY I READ ABOUT EACH STORY THAT WAS TOLD VIA SONG , LYRIC , AND VISUALIZATION AND THAT MADE ME UNDERSTAND ALOT MORE ABOUT THIS HALFTIME SHOW. THE SHOW REPRESENTED EVERY NATIONALITY IN AMERICA INCLUDING FLAGS OF EACH OF THEM. OVERALL SOCIAL MEDIA AGREED WITH THE MESSAGE.

 TRUMPS HALFTIME SHOW WAS ALL WHITE PERFORMERS. NOT ONE OTHER NATIONALITY. I DID NOT WATCH ANY OF IT. GO TRUMP.

  DROVE MY YOUNGEST BACK TO CENTER CITY AFTER WE HAD BRUNCH WITH WHEELS AT HOME. IT IS ALWAYS NICE WHEN SHE VISITS AND THAN A LITTLE SAD WHEN SHE GOES BACK TO HER APARTMENT. THE LITTLE BIRDS HAVE TO LEAVE THE NEST I GUESS. SHE DID MEET ABOUT 6 FRIENDS AT A LOCAL PUB FOR THE SUPER BOWL.

 I STOP AT THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT.

 AT HOME MY NORMAL ROUTINE BUT TRIED TO CHILL.

 OH , IT WAS COLD AGAIN. OUR HOUSE WAS 62 DEGREES WITH THERMOSTAT SET AT 70. THERE WAS NO WAY TO WARM IT UP VIA OUR HEATING SYSTEM SO I DECIDED TO TURN ON OUR GAS FIREPLACE ON AT 6AM. WE LET IT RUN TO 10PM. I ALSO SET UP A SMALL FAN TO PUSH WARM AIR INTO THE ROOM. MAN , IT WORKS AWESOME.

 MY INTAKE FOR THE DAY AND I GAINED .6 OF A POUND. THIS IS THE WHOLE DAY AND NIGHT - GET THIS , IT'S FUCKING LAUGHABLE - A SPANISH OMELET ( NO BREAD WHICH BLOWS ) , HALF OF A SLICED PEAR , 3 NUTRI-BARS , A CUP OF ROASTED MIX NUTS , 5 OUNCES OF ORVILLE REDENBACHER LIGHT NO BUTTER POPCORN , 6 OUNCES OF GATORADE ZERO , 3 OUNCES OF MOZZARELLA , AND 12 OUNCES OF WATER. AGAIN , NO LATE NIGHT SNACKS OR BOOZE. THIS FOOD AND DRINK INTAKE MADE ME GAIN MORE THAN A HALF A POUND. IT TOTALLY SUCKS THE AIR OUT OF MY DRIVE TO LOSE WEIGHT AND BE MORE HEALTHIER.

 OFF TO THE BEDROOM AFTER THE SUPER BOWL. I CHECK EMAILS AND PLAY ONE GAME OF POKER AND HEAD TO BED. THE PUP JOINS ME LATER.

  MONDAY     2 - 9 - 26

 VERY CLOSE TO PULLING THE TRIGGER AND HEADING NORTH BUT I DID NOT WHEN NO ONE WANTED TO GO EXCEPT MY PUP. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PIPES FREEZING.

 OK , 30+ DEGREES THIS WEEK AND 40+ DEGREES NEXT WEEK ? IT'S GONNA FEEL LIKE FLORIDA.

 OFF TO THE NAIL TO GET SOME THINGS DONE. IT IS 9AM AND I LET MY ELDEST GO ON A JOB INTERVIEW VERY CLOSE TO THE NAIL.

 BACK HOME I HAVE LUNCH AND ATE WAY TOO MUCH TODAY. IT WAS ALL HEALTHY BUT I GAINED 2 POUNDS.........BLOW.

 OFF COMPUTER BY 4:30PM. I WATCH 2 EPISODES OF SPARTACUS WHILE SNUGGLING WITH THE PUP. ONE SCENE REALLY BOTHERED ME. I MEAN IT WAS GOOD BUT I COULD NOT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT IF THIS ROMAN GLADIATOR STUFF IS EVEN PARTLY TRUE.

 DINNER AND AGAIN I ATE TOO MUCH WHICH IS LESS THAN I USUALLY ATE MY WHOLE LIFE BUT IN THIS DAMN DIET IT IS TOO MUCH. NOWADAYS JUST HAVING 4 SLICES OF PIZZA IS TOO MUCH.......FOR THE WHOLE DAY. I DID NOT HAVE PIZZA TODAY BUT A CHICKEN SALAD AND SOME MEATBALLS. LATER I HAD A CUP OF MIXED NUTS AND 10 OUNCES OF ZERO 7/UP. THIS IS MY WHOLE DAY AND I GAINED 2 POUNDS. IT'S BORDERLINE LAUGHABLE AND DISAPPOINTING.

 WATCHING SOME OF THE OLYMPICS. SO FAR I AM DIGGING THE BACKDROP OF ITALY ALONG WITH THE SPORT. OBVIOUSLY I CHEER FOR THE UNITED STATES BUT I AM HAPPY FOR ALL COUNTRIES AND THESE YOUNG KIDS PARTICIPATING.

ALMOST EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA POST IS EITHER BAD BUNNY OR KID ROCK OPINIONS. IT IS FUCKING EXHAUSTING.

 SIGNED UP FOR 60 DAYS OF FREE RECORDING FOR ONE CAMERA BY GIVING A 5 STAR REVIEW ON A PRODUCT I THOUGHT WAS 3 STARS.........EH.

 WE WATCH A DOCUMENTARY CALLED IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE OBIT , EAT BREAKFAST. IT IS HOSTED BY CARL REINER. IT IS VERY GOOD WITH SOME GOOD ADVICE FROM PEOPLE OVER 90. SOME HUGE STARS IN IT , MEL BROOKS TO NAME ONE.

 WE WATCH 3 EPISODES OF SHRINKING AND FINISH SEASON 2. THIS SHOW IS VERY GOOD AND HAS RECEIVED ALL KINDS OF NOMINATIONS AND AWARDS.

 OFF TO THE BEDROOM FOR MY ROUTINE. I HEAD TO BED BY 11:30PM. I SLEPT OKAY AT BEST UNTIL 4AM. I FORCED MYSELF TO GO BACK TO SLEEP BY 6AM AND SLEPT UNTIL 10:30AM.  THERE WERE AT LEAST 3 DREAMS I FORGOT.

  TUESDAY       2 - 10 - 26

 TODAY'S INTAKE - ONE PORK CHOP. IT WAS DELICIOUS.........PENANCE.

 A NEW CLAIM IS TRUMP BEING " IN " THE EPSTEIN FILES JUMPED A LITTLE BIT FROM 38,000 TIMES TO A LITTLE OVER 1 MILLION.

 I MADE A RESERVATION TWICE. THE FIRST ONE WAS AT UMBRA'S AT 6PM TOMORROW. I HAD TO CALL BACK WHEN I GOT THE CONFIRMATION TEXT. THIS UMBRA'S RESTAURANT WAS IN BOSTON , MASSACHUSETTS. I CANCELLED THAT ONE AND BOOKED ONE A LITTLE CLOSER IN HAVERTOWN.

 MAN , DID I SCRAMBLE AND RE-BOOK A SATURDAY SHOW FROM 1 BAND TO 4 BANDS. IT IS A GOOD FEELING.

 TOOK A RIDE TO THE NAIL TO DO 10 THINGS. I GOT ALL OF THEM DONE.

 ELDEST AND BOYFRIEND BORROW A WET/DRY VAC FOR THEIR BASEMENT WAS FLOODED VIA A SPIGOT BURSTING. I KNOW THIS FEELING AND IT IS NOT FUN TO CLEAN UP.

 BACK HOME I VEHEMENTLY CHECK EMAILS 24/7. IT IS NON-STOP AND TO ME , IT SHOULD BE THAT WAY.

 BY 4:30PM I CHILL WITH THE PUP ON THE COUCH. I WATCH 2 EPISODES OF SPARTACUS.

 WHEELS MAKES A NICE DINNER BUT I ONLY HAVE A PORK CHOP. I KNOW MY DIET PLAN OF " PENANCE " IS SO NOT RIGHT BUT IT IS KINDA WORKING.

 A NICE LITTLE PERK. NOW THAT I HAVE BLINK CAMERAS I CAN WATCH OUR PUP POOP OUTSIDE. OK , IT IS A NICE WAY OF WATCHING HER WITHOUT STANDING OUTSIDE IN THE COLD.

 AGAIN , TODAY'S 30+ DEGREE WEATHER WAS A NICE CHANGE. I DID NOT SEE ANY SNOW MELT BUT I'LL TAKE IT. NEXT WEEK......40'S !!!

 SOCIAL MEDIA IS EXHAUSTING. I FIND IT IRONIC A PERSON I KNOW IS NOT VERY GOOD LOOKING PERSON AT ALL AND CALLS MICHELLE OBAMA " UGLY MIKE ". DUDE , GLASS HOUSES ? POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK ? GOOD LORD MAN LOOK IN THE MIRROR BEFORE YOU CALL SOMEONE UGLY.

 I ACTUALLY WATCHED THE GOLD MEDAL ROUND OF CURLING. AMERICANS FAILED ON LAST SHOT.

 WOMEN'S USA HOCKEY SMOKES THEIR MAIN RIVAL CANADA 5 - 0. KINDA COOL FOR THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PLAYER SCORED A GOAL.

 WE WATCH A CUTE MOVIE CALLED THE WRONG PARIS WITH MIRANDA COSGROVE WHO I AM A FAN OF. SHE IS SO DAMN ADORABLE. IT WAS CUTESY AND ALITTLE SILLY BUT WE ENJOYED IT. SHE IS ALSO MAKING A MOVIE TO FINISH ICARLY SINCE PARAMOUNT+ DROPPED THE BALL AND CANCELLED THEIR FINAL SEASON ON A CLIFF HANGER.

 WE WATCH SEASON 3 OPENER OF SHRINKING. SPECIAL GUEST MICHAEL J. FOX WAS PRETTY COOL TO SEE. AGAIN , THERE IS A REASON THIS SHOW IS NOMINATED AND WON SO MANY AWARDS.

 OFF TO BED AROUND 11PM. I DID MY ROUTINE AND SLEPT OKAY. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE PUP UPSIDE DOWN , PAWS STRETCHED OUT , AND HER HEAD ON MY PILLOW. IT'S 5AM SO I WILL WAIT ALITTLE BIT BEFORE SENDING THEM TO FAMILY.

  WEDNESDAY      2 - 11 - 26

 TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY.

 DOING " PENANCE " , WALKING STAIR TREADMILL , AND PAINTING 2 CLOSETS UPSTAIRS WAS ENOUGH TO LOSE 3 POUNDS. I HIT A NEW LOW IN THIS DIET WHICH IS ALWAYS SATISFYING. SO , AS A GIFT.......CHEAT DAYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!

 LAST MINUTE RENTER ON VRBO MIGHT BE TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE SAYING , " I AM RENTING FOR MY PARENTS ". VRBO SENT ME " SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY " EMAIL SAYING THIS MIGHT BE A LARGE UNDERAGE PARTY. I WILL INVESTIGATE MORE WITH JUST ONE DAY NOTICE.

 PAINTING 2 SMALL CLOSETS WAS NOT FUN BUT I DID BURN SOME ENERGY AND CALORIES.  AFTERWARDS A SHOWER AND SHAVE.

 LAY ON COUCH WITH THE PUP AFTER FINISH SEASON 1 OF SPARTACUS. I WOULD SAY YOU CAN'T HAVE MUCH MORE ACTION THAN THE SEASON FINALE. THE NAME OF THE FINAL EPISODE , " KILL THEM ALL ".....ADN THEY PRETTY MUCH DID.

 I ALSO WATCH SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 OF SHRINKING. IT WAS GOOD.

 BY 4:45PM WE ARE ON THE ROAD. WE PICK UP OUR ELDEST THAN MY PARENTS AND THAN HEAD TO UMBRA'S RESTAURANT FOR A VERY GOOD DINNER. IT WAS EVEN BETTER MY DAD PICKED UP THE TAB.

 WE DROP MY PARENTS OFF AND WE REALLY HAD A FUN NICE DINNER WITH LOTS OF LAUGHS. IT WAS GOOD TO EXPERIENCE.

 NEXT I SURPRISE WHEELS AND MY ELDEST WITH 2 VISITS. FIRST WE DO A FB MARKETPLACE RUN 3 MINUTES AWAY FOR FREE SHOT GLASSES.

 NEXT WE STOP AT MY FAVORITE COUSIN'S HOUSE FOR AFTER DINNER WINE. WE DID ALOT OF LAUGHING AND IT WAS VERY NICE. THE REASON I FELT BAD WAS WE WERE SUPPOSE TO GO TO UMBRAS WITH HIM SO I SENT HIM A PICTURE OF US AT UMBRAS AS A JOKE. HE WAS COOL.

 DROP OFF ELDEST AT A BAR AND WHEELS AND I HEAD HOME. WE SETTLE IN AND WATCH 2 EPISODE OF SHRINKING. BOTH WERE GOOD BUT I DID FALL ASLEEP A LITTLE.

 OH , THE PUP GREETING US WITH PURE JOY WAS AWESOME.

 MAN , OVER A 1,000 WOMEN WERE ABUSED / RAPED IN EPSTEIN FILES. SOME WENT TO THE CONGRESSIONAL HEARING. PAM BONDI WAS TOLD NOT ONE WAS INTERVIEW OR INVESTIGATED FOR TRUTH ABOUT EPSTEIN AND TRUMP BEING MENTIONED 38,000 TIMES.........NOT ONE.

 ONE CONGRESSMAN READ A EMAIL FILE RELEASED BY FBI ON EPSTEIN STATING " THE TORTURE WAS THE BEST " WAS PRETTY HORRIFIC.

 ONE CONGRESS WOMAN SAYING . " I READ ALOT OF THE FILES AND IT IS THE MOST HORRIFIC DISGUSTING VILE THING I EVER COULD IMAGINE. "

 IT IS AMAZING TO ME TRUMPSTERS BLOW THIS OFF LIKE WIND IN THE AIR. OVER A 1,000 WOMEN AND NOT ONE HAS BEEN ASKED TO SHOW TRUTH BY D.O.J. OR F.B.I. AFTER THEY PROMISED. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF THEIR DAUGHTER WAS IN THERE THEY WANT FUCKING ANSWERS RIGHT AWAY. BIDEN PASSED A LAW TO IMMEDIATELY OPEN ALL FILES BUT IT TOOK TOO LONG AND BY THAN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HE BLOCKED IT AND THAN MISSED A DEAD LINE WHEN VOTED VIA CONGRESS TO RELEASE EVERY THING. WE ARE NOW OVER A DECADE OF THIS ONGOING NIGHTMARE FOR THESE GIRLS.

 MAN , THE DREAM I HAD WITH WHEELS AND SHE INITIATED ALL OF IT.  3 DIFFERENT POSITIONS......NICE.

  THURSDAY    2 - 12 - 26

 WELP , I'M HEADING NORTH FOR JUST ONE DAY TO CHECK ON PROPERTY. MY MAIN CONCERN IS COLD PIPES.

 EARLY MORNING I PICK UP ELDEST , SHE DROPS ME OFF AT THE NAIL WHILE SHE HEADS TO A WORK DANCE CLASS. I GET SOME THINGS DONE ALONG WITH A BEER DELIVERY.

 SHE PICKS ME UP AND WE HEAD HOME. WE PACK UP AND HEAD NORTH WITH THE PUP. WE MAKE GOOD TIME AND SETTLE IN AFTER STOPPING AT JIREH'S PIZZA.

 WE HAVE LUNCH AND SETTLE IN. I BEGIN MY PROJECT LIST AND CHECK THE HOUSE. ALL GOOD.......AT FIRST.

 MY ELDEST NAPS WHILE I FINALLY SIT DOWN AFTER GOING THROUGH OUR HOME. I WAS 3 EPISODES IN OF THE 2ND SEASON OF SPARTACUS WHEN I NOTICED SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY........WHERE IS SPARTACUS ? AT FIRST I THOUGHT THEY ARE DOING THIS PREQUEL THING WHICH I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF BUT AFTER 2 EPISODES I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I GOOGLE THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS SPARTACUS AND FOUND OUT HE PASSED AWAY BETWEEN SEASONS FROM CANCER. THAT WAS SO DAMN SAD. I DID ENJOY THE EPISODES BUT WITHOUT SPARTACUS IT WAS DEFINITELY MISSING A BIG PART.

 76ERS LOSE AT HOME BY 50 POINTS. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE ?  DID THE PLAYERS SHOOT THE BALL LIKE URKEL ?

 BY 10:30PM I HEAD UPSTAIRS. I SET UP MY BED , GET THE HEAT ON , AND WATCH THE NEWS AND OF COURSE.....HOGAN'S HEROES.

 UP AT 6:30AM MY ELDEST TELLS ME SHE HEARD " SCRATCHING " ABOVE HER CEILING IN THE BEDROOM. THIS COULD SUCK.

 FRIDAY    2 - 13 - 26

 2 STRAIGHT CHEAT DAYS WAS FUN BUT NOT FOR MY DIET. I GAINED 5 POUNDS.

 UP EARLY MY ELDEST CHILLS WITH THE PUP AND WATCHES TV WHILE I GET MY COMPUTER WORK DONE.

 WE DECIDE TO GO TO A PLACE THAT HAS BEEN ON MY LIST FOR A WHILE......THE SOAPY BEE CAFE AND COUNTRY STORE. WE MET THE OWNER AND THEY WILL FILMING A DOCUMENTARY WHICH I WAS INTERVIEWED ON. ACROSS THE BOARD THIS PLACE WAS SUPER COOL WITH SERVICE , FOOD , AND AMBIANCE. JUST A REALLY NEAT LOCAL COUNTRY STORE OWNED BY A HARD WORKING REALLY NICE WOMAN.

 INTERVIEW CAN BE SEEN NEXT MONTH IN MARCH AT WWW.EYEONTHEWYOMINGVALLEY.COM

 I ATE TOO MUCH BUT REALLY ENJOYED THE TIME WITH MY ELDEST.

 BACK HOME WE CHILL WITH THE PUP.

 I DECIDE TO SET TRAPS IN OUR ATTIC. I AM TOTALLY BUMMING AFTER INSTALLATION OF A NEW ROOF AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS SEALED UP TIGHT WAS NOT TRUE........A CRITTER WAS HEARD SCRATCHING IN A BEDROOM CEILING.  I WAS HAPPY I COULD SQUEEZE THROUGH A CEILING ACCESS PANEL THOUGH.

 BY 1PM WE START LOADING UP , CLEAN , AND PACK THE CAR. WE MADE GOOD TIME AND PERFECT ARRIVAL OF OUR YOUNGEST WHO I PICKED UP AT THE TRAIN STATION JUST MINUTES AFTER WE GOT HOME.

 WE DID CALL SOME FAMILY ON THE DRIVE HOME.

 WHEELS AND KIDS HEAD TO SHOGUN 3 JAPANESE STEAK HOUSE FOR HIBACHI STYLE DINNER. THEY SAID FOOD , SERVICE , AND SHOW WAS GOOD ESPECIALLY ONE CUSTOMER WHO HAD SAKI SHOT INTO HIS MOUTH. WHY? THIS GUY KNEW HAD TO SWALLOW AND DRINK AT THE SAME TIME. THE CHEF SHOT SAKI INTO HIS MONTH FOR A SOLID 30 SECONDS. ALL TABLES WERE LAUGHING AND THE WIFE WAS EMBARRASSED.

 BEFORE THEY WENT TO DINNER I CALLED MY FAVORITE COUSIN AND ASKED HIM , " HEY , CAN YOU TAKE MY WIFE AND KIDS TO DINNER ? " HE IMMEDIATELY STARTS LAUGHING.

  I HEAD TO THE NAIL AND THE BANDS START TO ARRIVE.  A STRONG START BUT THAN KINDA EVENED OUT. WE DID DO CLOSE TO 50 FOOD ORDERS. I REALLY LIKE OUR PUB FOOD.

 5 METAL BANDS AND IT MOVED PRETTY SMOOTHLY. THE SNOW NOT MELTING IS AFFECTING MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES WHICH KINDA SUCKS.

 BY 12:30AM WE ROLL OUT AND HEAD HOME. WE STREAM NEW EPISODES OF FUTURAMA WHICH WERE GOOD.

 ABOUT TO HEAD TO BED AROUND 1:15AM AND MY PHONE GOES OFF. I FOUND OUT OUR BARTENDER WAS REAR ENDED IN A HIT AND RUN.......AGAIN.  I FELT SO BAD FOR THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS YEAR. I TOLD HER TO COME TO MY HOUSE. THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. SHE ARRIVES IN AROUND 30 MINUTES AND I LET HER SLEEP HERE.

   SATURDAY       2 - 14 - 26

 VALENTINE'S DAY......IT WAS A LONG ONE.

 BARTENDER SLEPT OVER AND HER CAR WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED. I HAD TO REMOVE A DANGLING BRAKE LIGHT AND BUNGEE THE TRUNK HATCH DOOR SHUT.

 BY 10AM WE ARE ON THE ROAD. FIRST WE STOP AT THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT.

  NEXT , STOP IS THE BARTENDER'S APARTMENT SO SHE CAN GATHER SOME THINGS.

 NEXT , WE DROP OFF MY YOUNGEST AT HER PLACE.

 NEXT , I DROP OFF OUR BARTENDER AT A RESTAURANT CALLED NEW DELHI ON CHESTNUT STREET TO MEET ANOTHER BARTENDER FOR LUNCH.

 THAN I HEAD HOME TO CHILL. I ORDER SOME PRODUCT FOR THE NAIL THAT HAS BEEN WELL OVERDUE.

 I STARTED THIS DAY OF PENANCE SO GOOD. I WAS DEFLECTING ALL SORTS OF INCOMING FOOD AND DRINK. IT LOOKS LIKE 3 TIMES IS MY LIMIT BECAUSE #4 I CAVED IN.

 1 - PASSED 6 DUNKIN DONUTS. YOU READ THAT RIGHT......SIX.  I WAS SO JONESING FOR A BREAKFAST SANDWICH.

 2 - WHEELS WAS COOKING ALASKAN KING CRAB LEGS FOR DINNER.

 3 - AT THE NAIL A BAND DECORATED ALL TABLES WITH PINK SHEETS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY. THEY ALSO BROUGHT IN CHOCOLATES.

 THESE 3 TEMPTATIONS AND I DID NOT TOUCH ONE THING. I WAS SO PROUD OF MYSELF.

 4 BANDS MOVE ALONG AND I ENJOYED THEM ALL. EVERYONE WAS VERY COOL. THE GOOD THING IS I HAD A SOUND MAN WHICH IS ALWAYS A RELIEF TO ME. ALSO NICE  , WAS ONE OF OUR DOORMEN STOPPED IN AND HE HELPED A LITTLE ALONG WITH ANOTHER BARTENDER.

 NOW , WHAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S DIET ?.......TEXTING FROM A NEPHEW. IT SEEMS WHEN PIZZA IS MENTIONED MY NAME COMES UP. I AM SINOMINOUS WITH PIZZA AND RIGHTFULLY SO , I TEXTED WITH HIM AND MY BROTHER FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD PIZZA , EGGROLLS , AND SAMBUCA. DAMN IT !! A LETHAL COMBINATION.

 BY 11:20PM THE SHOW IS DONE AND I DECIDED TO SURPRISE SOME FAMILY. I HAD TO HAVE THE BARTENDER CLOSE AND THE OTHER BARTENDER HAD TO BE PART OF A PRANK. BY 11:25PM EVERYTHING LINED UP AND THE RUSE WAS ON.

 ARRIVING AT MY BROTHER'S HOUSE I HAVE MY CAR LIGHTS OFF AND PARK SEVERAL HOUSES AWAY. THE BARTENDER WALKS TO THE DOOR AND KNOCKS WHILE I HIDE IN A TREE LINE. MY SISTER-IN-LAW ANSWERS THE DOOR AND THE BARTENDER SAYS , " HELLO , IF OKAY , CHRIS SAID I COULD CRASH HERE TONIGHT ? DO YOU KNOW CHRIS ? "  THE BANTER WENT ON A LITTLE BIT UNTIL ALL FAMILY WAS RIGHT AT THE DOOR COMPLETELY CONFUSED AND WONDERING WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GIRL AT OUR DOOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE MIDNIGHT...........UNNNNNNNNNTIL........I JUMP OUT OF THE TREES AND YELL , " AAAAAAHHHHH HAAAAAAAA !!! "

 LAUGHTER AND HUGGING ENSUES AND IT WAS HILARIOUS. WE COMPLETELY SURPRISED THEM. WE ARRIVED AT 11:32PM AND REMARKABLY STAYED UNTIL THE SAMBUCA WAS GONE........AT 2:30AM.

 WE ROLL HOME AND THE BARTENDER SLEEPS OVER AGAIN. I CALLED OUR NEIGHBORS AT EVOLVE COLLISION AND TELL THEM I HAVE ANOTHER CUSTOMER. THIS WOULD BE 4 CUSTOMERS I SENT THEIR WAY ON ONE YEAR. THE ASSHOLE PREVIOUS OWNERS ORISIN'S I SENT NONE IN 28 YEARS.

 AT HOME I HEAD RIGHT TO BED. THIS WAS A LONG DAY AND NIGHT.

 OH , SO FAR SO GOOD. I THOUGHT A LITTLE RUSE WAS BEING PLAYED ON ME BY A RENTER IN THE POCONOS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ALL IS WELL. MY NEIGHBOR HAS BEEN TEXTING ME UPDATES.

  SUNDAY      2 - 15 - 26

 KINDA GOT OFF TRACK WITH MY DIET BUT NOT TOO BAD.

 HELPING OUT OUR BARTENDER :

 - CALLED EVOLVE COLLISION TO PREP THEM FOR ANOTHER RECOMMENDED CLIENT.

 - HAVE BARTENDER'S CAR PARKED AT THE NAIL SO EVOLVE CAN ACCESS IT. THE BARTENDER LIVES IN NORTH PHILLY SO IT BE A LONG DRIVE TO GET THE CAR THERE.

 - LEND MY CAR TO THE BARTENDER FOR AT LEAST THIS WEEK.

 - LET HER SLEEP OVER TWICE AT OUR HOME AND MADE BREAKFAST BOTH TIMES.

 KINDA JONESING TO HEAD NORTH.

 WHEELS HEADS TO MOM'S HOUSE TO HELP PUT AWAY CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS , RECEIVE SOME SHRIMP & STEAKS , GO OUT TO LUNCH , AND THAN DINNER WITH A FRIEND. I HAD WATER WITH HYDROXY CUT CRYSTALS.

 WATCH FINALE OF SEASON 2 OF SPARTACUS. MAN THERE IS A LOT OF SWORD FIGHTING AND BANGING.

 TRUMP IN EPSTEIN FILES 38,000 TIMES. 1,000 WOMEN ABUSED AND NOT INTERVIEWED ONCE BY THE D.O.J. IS JUST HORRIBLE. LITTLE GIRLS BEING FINGERED , IN TORTURE VIDEOS , AND GIVING BLOW JOBS TO HIM. C'MON MAN , THIS IS FUCKING CRUEL.

 TRUMP SAYING MULTIPLE TIMES A $2,000 STIMULUS CHECK FOR EVERY AMERICAN NOW DENIES IT.

  WATCHING SOME OLYMPIC EVENTS.

 THIS SNOW IS JUST NOT MELTING.

 OFF TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE NIGHT. THE BARTENDER HELPED ME WHICH WAS NICE.

 AT HOME I SETTLE IN AND TRY TO RELAX FOR THIS IS MY 3RD DOUBLE SHIFT IN A ROW.

 RETURN TO THE NAIL AROUND 5:45PM. AT FIRST I PUT THE 2ND BARTENDER " ON CALL " BUT INSTANTLY REGRETTED DOING IT. BY 6:15PM I TEXTED " COME IN "......TWICE. I HATE BARTENDING.

 80+ PEOPLE ARRIVE AND MOSTLY FAMILY WHICH IS ALWAYS NICE TO SEE. MUSIC WAS FUN , PEOPLE WERE COOL , AND I ENJOYED IT. I SO WANTED A CHOCOLATE MARTINI BUT AGAIN.....STAYED AWAY FROM BOOZE.

 GOT THREE 5 STAR REVIEWS IN THREE DAYS......IT'S REALLY APPRECIATED.

 A GOOD THING IS I HAD TWO VETERAN BARTENDERS WHO KNOW HOW TO CLOSE SO I GOT TO ROLLOUT WHEN THE SHOW WAS OVER.

 AT HOME AND GO RIGHT TO MY ROOM. I CHECK EMAILS , PLAY A GAME OF POKER , AND WATCH SOME TV.

 I SLEPT OKAY AT BEST.

  MONDAY    2 - 16 - 26

 WELP , IT'S TIME TO HEAD NORTH.

 BUT FIRST , OFF TO THE NAIL TO PREP FOR THE WEEK AND DO ABOUT 30 THINGS. I FORGOT ABOUT 5 OF THEM.....BLOW.

 AT HOME WHEELS IS OFF SO SHE STARTED PACKING. SHE ALSO FORGETS ABOUT 5 THINGS INCLUDING MY WINTER JACKET. THIS IS MY FAULT TOO.

 WE MAKE GOOD TIME AND MAKE SOME PHONE CALLS TO FAMILY TOO. 

 WE STOP AT JIREH'S PIZZERIA FOR LUNCH AND AT HOME WE ENJOY A CHICKEN PARM , TUNA MELT , AND GARLIC PARM WINGS. JIREH'S IS ALWAYS LEGIT.

 WE CHILL , HANG WITH THE PUP , AND SETTLE IN. OF COURSE WHEELS ON HER DAY OFF WORKS 6 HOURS.

 WHEELS DEFROSTS SOME PORK CHOPS BUT I MAKE A FATAL ERROR AND SAY  , " WOULD YOU RATHER GO OUT TO A PUB ? " I NEVER SEEN A WOMAN GO SO FAST TO MEAT BACK IN A FRIDGE.

 BY 5:30PM WE HEAD TO TAVERN ON THE TRAIL WHICH IS ALWAYS GOOD. IT WAS MARDI GRAS NIGHT AND A BUNCH OF OLD PEOPLE DRESS LIKE MUMMERS AND WERE HAMMERED AND HAVING FUN ALONG WITH GIVING OUT CHOCOLATE.

 WE ENJOY BURGERS AND BEER ALONG WITH THE LOCALS. OUR FAVORITE BARTENDER WAS NOT THERE WHICH WAS A LITTLE BUMMER.

 BACK HOME WE WATCH A CUTE MOVIE CALLED GOOD FORTUNE WITH KEANU REEVES AND SETH ROGEN. IT ACTUALLY WAS NOT BAD AND GOT DECENT REVIEWS ON ROTTEN TOMATOES - 78%

 A NEIGHBOR AND HIS DOG VISIT US FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE TOW PUPS PLAYED A BIT.

 WE ALSO WATCH AN EPISODE OF HIGH POTENTIAL WHICH WAS GOOD.

 I CHECK EMAILS AND MORE WHILE WHEELS WATCHES ONE OF HER SHOWS. I HEAD TO BED AROUND 10:45PM AND SLEEP HORRIBLY. I WAS SO PISSED.

 AT 4:30AM I WAS WATCHING POLITICAL SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEOS FOR DAMN NEAR 2 HOURS ALONG WITH MY DOG LICKING HER VAGINA NON-STOP. I ACTUALLY KICKED HER OUT OF MY BED.......TWICE.

  TUESDAY     2 - 17 - 26

 ABSOLUTELY SLEPT HORRIBLE. MAN , IT IS NOT FUN.

 GOOD TO SEE TEMPERATURES IN THE HIGH 40'S TODAY. I ACTUALLY SAW A SLIGHT SLIVER OF GRASS.

 BOOKED A BAND THAT ARE 4 ARDMORE FIREMEN.

 TOOK PUP TO THE VET AND THEY ARE ALWAYS VERY NICE. THE ONLY ISSUES I HAVE IS ALWAYS WANTING TO DO MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE TESTING OVER A RASH-LIKE SYMPTOM. I MEAN THE WORD " SURGERY " WAS BROUGHT UP. OH , THE CREAM OINTMENT FOR $60 I FOUND ON THE INTERNET AT WALMART FOR $18. A LITTLE BIT OF PRICE GOUGING IS SO NOT COOL.

 I CHILL AFTER COMPUTER WORK AND WATCH 2 EPISODES OF BLUE PLANET WITH SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH. HIS VOICE IS SO SOOTHING.  I AM CURIOUS THOUGH WHEN ATTENBOROUGH EXPLAINS SOME ANIMALS AND CREATURES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS LIKE THE HORSESHOE CRAB WHAT DO CATHOLICS THINK SINCE THE BIBLE SAYS THE EARTH IS ONLY 50,000 YEARS OLD.

 SHORT RIB LAMB CHOPS USING THE BBQ IN FEBRUARY ? YEP , I AM OKAY WITH THIS. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TASTE WHEN GRILLING.

 WE SETTLE IN AND I KNEW THIS BE A HEART BREAKING MOVIE. IT IS CALLED TAKING CHANCE WITH KEVIN BACON. A TRUE STORY ABOUT A MARINE WHO LOST HIS LIFE AND HOW THE UNITED STATES GETS HIM HOME. I DID NOT KNOW THEY GO WAY WAY WAY OVER THE TOP FOR OUR SOLDIERS. IT WAS EXTREMELY MOVING. AIRING ON HBOMAX.......GIRLS , GET THE TISSUES OUT. WHEELS CRIED STEADILY FOR THE LAST 40 MINUTES AND THE MOVIE IS ONLY 75 MINUTES LONG.

 WE ALSO WATCH AN EPISODE OF HIGH POTENTIAL. IT WAS GOOD. THE SHOW WILL GO ON A 2ND BREAK FOR ABOUT A MONTH UNTIL NEW EPISODES ARE RELEASED. I AM NOT SURE WHY THEY DO THIS.

 RENTER HERE MISTAKENLY TOOK A CABLE BOX POWER SUPPLY AND HDMI CORD. I ASSUME THEY WERE PLAYING XBOX-LIKE GAMES AND FORGOT TO PUT EVERYTHING BACK. I HAVE BACKUP HDMI CORDS BUT NOT THIS SPECIFIC POWER SUPPLY. I CALLED OUR CABLE COMPANY AND THEY WILL MAIL ONE OUT. I ALSO CONTACTED THE LAST 3 RENTERS TO SEE IF THEY HAD IT.

 OFF TO BED AROUND 10:30PM. I CLIMB IN BED AND WATCH SOME OF THE LOCAL NEWS AND MORE.
