Porq Barrel Stuffs

WOW!! It's been a month since I posted last and about getting old.....
I'M TIRED!

Took the boss to SS and signed her up for benefits. To make up the difference in monthly checks between now and age 66, she would have to live until she's almost 90, so HEY!! "TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN." Thank you Steve Miller.

Still doin' the county stuffs, KofC stuffs, SDO stuffs and getting ready for football stuffs.

BIG NEWS!! The cellar is getting cleaned!! We hired a mover to pack all the "VALUABLE STUFFS" and the cellar is filled with BOXES. That's plural.. not one bock, but boxes!!

I got a storage space on hold for me so all I have to do is move the STUFFS out to storage so the basement can be finished.

It's only been since 92..( FIRE) .. I didn't want to rush into a project.

Spent some time with all the lilly kids watching them function. It was fun to see how cool each one is. 10, 8, 6, soon to be 5, and around Thanksgiving to be 4.

The kids remind me of a CHICAGO song..." MAKE ME SMILE!" and of course the BOSS is super happy doing her "GRANNY" Stuffs wif the chilluns.

OH YEAH!! News Flash, the Ca-doo is NOT under warrantee (50,000+ miles) anymore ..BUT my cost per mile to own and operate said vehicle is under a dollar and getting lower.

OINK

Well, the war is over and I guess I wasn't talking 'cause I didn't sink any ships

AND..

I didn't have anything to talk about.

Another series of lottery drawings had come and gone and Johnny Bupalini's Hot Dog stand does NOT exist.

I was even thinking about a gin mill with the name "PRIVATE PROPERTY" so I can tell people to leave if I don't want them there and if I want to have a "CIGAR NIGHT", I won't have a group of people saying "NO SMOKING IN A PUBLIC PLACE" stuffs.

It's amazing what money can buy in the good ol' USA!!!

NEWS FLASH..... Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson are still DEAD!! Oh yeah, does anybody really care??

I am officially starting the count down to retirement. I may never make it but at least I have something to shoot for. 2011, 2012?? I dunno!

Don't know what's happening with the football season because of budget cuts.

RAISE THE TAXES AND PAY THE GUY ON THE ROOF WITH THE CAMERA!!

I might have to rake leaves this year!!

OINK

ya gotta have a membership card to get inside.

Yep! I was thinking about that song, especially the part where he makes up his own sign and says, "Thank you Lord, I'm doing fine!!!"

Same ol' same ol'.

The Boss is doing her thing with her Mother (92, and starting to shows signs of aging!!).

Work is the same... I'm getting paid.

I'm not showing up at the Knights as often, so when I do go there I have a little extra stuffs to do.. it's some kind of trade-off??

Getting ready for FOOTBALL 2009!!

AND... just slowing down 'cause I am getting old.

Going down SOUFF and I just can't wait to be in the traffic for the ALL-Star race and the Mem day race the following week. That means they'll all be down there for two weeks with their gun racks, hound dogs and pick-up trucks.

I better start practicing so.. Y'all take it easy for now while I go spit off my back deck. maybe put a sofa on my lawn??? HMMMMM????

OINK

WOW!!!

Hope everyone had a great beginning of the 2nd Quarter. I did!!

I received greeting cards, telephone calls, and even presents to celebrate the 2nd Quarter.

The best of all is the Boss still needs me and she still feeds me.

I somehow have to figure out which of the grandkids are Vera, Chuck and Dave.

I even got a present today at work ( a sixer of Bud ) and a call from my BUDS, Fred.

Maybe we'll get together for some cake??


OINK

Who needs friends if you have family!!

Perfect example...

I'm down Souff seeing the LILLY kids. A few people know this... Family, friends, work people.

My Sister-In-Law (Lives in Maine) was talking to my son ( lives in Jersey) and told him that since me and the Boss were down SOUFF, he should go over and TP my house.

Who could ask for more??

Ya gotta love it!!

OINK

Time really is flying by fast!!

I remember when we used to push the clocks ahead in APRIL. I just learned how to spell MARCH and we're pushing the clock.

That's it!! I'm done.

No more stuffs until I catch up on some time ( Don't forget, I'm down SOUFF and things move
S L O O O W W W !!)

I'll be back when I start missing work ( and that might be pretty soon!!)

OINK

Say loud.... Say it Proud!!

Wow... Thank you thank you thank you to kids and spouses.

This year's Christmas gift were tickets to see JERSEY BOYS in the City!!

Not just Tickets, but a limo service to pick us up at home and bring us back after a
fantastic meal at Bobby Flay's BAR AMERICAIN down the street from the theater.

To quote the FOUR SEASONS, "O WHAT A NIGHT!"

The story of the group coming out of Belleville, NJ was definately a soul pleaser for me. After watching TV seasons of the SOPRANOS and their contribution to the "GLORY" of NJ, hearing about the Italian neighborhoods the guys grew up in is not unknown to me.

I'm happy to have JERSEY plates on my car and when I drive down to see lilly kids, I hope the other travelers realize that I'm from JERSEY and if they don't like, THEY MIGHT SLEEP WITH THE FISH.( Thank you Luca Brazzi ).

How can I leave my smelly, corrupt, high taxes, traffic congested state now with all this pride I have??

PONDEROUS!!

Again, Thanks KIDS!! LOVE YA!!

OINK
