Bring It On Home

Greetings and Salutations to all.

Sorry for being away so long. As many of you know I started a new job in the electrical construction field 4 weeks ago. It’s been challenging to say the least. It’s more physical then the previous electrical work I’ve done. I’ve been carrying large stack of material (pipes, wires, ladders, etc.) as well as going up and down the ladder at least 20-40x a day. The hours are good from 7a-3p. I’m going to bed much earlier but I am home from work everyday before 3:30. Enough about work……

So how about those Yankees? Hot and cold, hot then cold. Jeez, will they ever stay at least luke-warm? Well 3 out of 4 is not bad against Minnesota. I wish we could play the AL Central more. That would be nice. On to Hockey….Look!! Do you see it? Oh my……it’s coming. Yes, it is…….the big dark cloud cover….Where is going? It looks like it’s settling on top of the Nassau Coliseum. Man o man did the Islanders get fucked (for lack of a better word!). Blake, Smyth, Kozlov, Poti, Zednik – gone, all via free agency. Damn, who ever said “Free Agency will kill sports was sure right!” OK, so let’s just drop the cup from Anaheim into midtown for the Rangers. Scored two major pickups in Gomez and Drury. Then again, having a talented roster and a big payroll doesn’t always make you the champion of the sport. See Yankees.

I-phone – who needs it? I’ll keep my razr – thank you very much!

Bad news (two-fold) the other day -- I had the misfortune of bottoming out in my escort at the job site and in the process cracked the exhaust pipe. Broke it in two. Since it was Friday and I didn’t need the car the rest of the day besides going home from work, I figure I would get it fixed/repaired on Saturday. Drove to Queens on Saturday to my mechanic (been using these guys for over 12 years), to find out that they went out of business the day before. Man, was I in shock. These guys did excellent work and had good prices. I was at a lost, it was like my dog died or something. I ended up returning to Nassau and did a little research on the project itself. Well how hard can 4 bolts be? Man, was I wrong!! 13 years of rust, 2 sawzall blades and 2 grinder blades, 3 hours, 5 beers and the exhaust was off the car. I ordered the parts from Advance Auto Parts (highly recommend) and they are currently sitting in my kitchen awaiting install this coming Saturday. I will keep you posted.
