Going to California

Greetings and Salutations to all.

Just trying to keep up with this and work too. I just ask that you bear with me. Work has been crazy lately. With this vicious heat and torrential rains the jobsite has become a complete mess of flood puddles, and a dank, black, sweaty dead air. I go in fresh, dry and clean and I come out sweaty (to the point where I can ring my shirt out), nasty, dirty and disgusting. No rest for the wicked I guess.

Hey all from an earlier post if you can help – Rob and I appreciate it:

Speaking of work, my good buddy Rob (his blog “Exit 55” here: http://steelyankee.blogspot.com/) is looking for work. He has recently been laid off and is looking for employment. His specialties are Marketing and Radio. If you can help him out or would like his resume, email me and I will send it to you. Thanking you in advance……

Will someone please update K-Rock’s playlist? It’s getting really bad!!!

Now Sports – Look out here come the Yankees. Closing the gap on the Sox and only a half game out of the wild card. It’s August and that traditionally brings the undoing of the sox. We shall see. Football mini-camps are open and this coming weekend is Week 1 of the Pre-season. Ahhh, football, can’t wait till the season starts.

Ok so here are my two so called rants this week:

Belt wearing – can someone tell me which way to wear a belt? Do you thread it to the left or to the right or it doesn’t really matter? I tried to look this up on the Internet but nothing significant.

Spare Tires – and no not that thing (beer belly) hanging around your waist. Why do some SUV’s have to have the spare tire under the car? Can someone tell me what practical purpose this serves? Why don’t you just make a wheel well in the rear and set the tire in there. Why make the consumer who is going to get dirty changing the tire, dirtier by crawling under the car to loosen a nut which is probably covered in road dirt and rusted. Can someone make sense of this? Anyone?

Playing poker tomorrow night and looking forward to some coin. I will keep you posted on how I do as well as my buddy T.

Sorry no funny clip this week.

Last but not least, this week marks the 1st anniversary passing of my friend Dave. He was one of my closest friends and we had shared many a drink, a laugh, a good time. He hated the Yankees with a passion but always would go out of his way to help me with anything I ever needed. He would spend his last $20 to make sure you were having a good time regardless of how he was doing. I stop by his grave this week to pay him visit; first time since his funeral a year ago. Eerie, but surreal to see his name on the gravestone. I went with 2 Heineken’s. I drank one while talking/pondering/reliving some great times, the other I opened and left it on top of the gravestone for my friend. Enjoy it my friend, Rest In Peace…..
