America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

There are some nice views along that stretch.

9.5 miles in the bike. Over 200 for the summer.
Cigar and a beer in few minutes.

They stopped after I fell asleep in my garage recliner.

Brother in law sent me a picture of his basement flooded. I offered to help, he said he pulled out the carpet n stuff and had it covered. He's never had a basement, and I'm well acquainted with flooded basements so I went over anyway with a few fans, dehumidifiers, and a squeegee. Told him to go to the tool rental place and get a couple big boy dehumidifiers for a day, the a/c ductwork was covered in condensation and dripping. Hopefully he did or there's gonna be mold.

But afterwards i fell asleep watching the smoker and woke up without the hiccups.

Yeah... grillin some chikens in da back yard... set the thermapen down and it said 102... and it wasn't in da chikens.

Hotter'n a CA wildfire.

Weather dot com says 99. Thermapen is more accurate, I bet.

8track movie night... Zorba the Greek.

Bizarre movie. Don't get it.
Beating women, raping and murdering the one attractive woman for no reason?
Not burying a dead woman and robbing her of her possessions because they was French?
How/why did she die?

Odd, odd movie.

You made Zorba before you were born?
YOU sir..... Are GOOD!

I'm wading through older movies to see what I may have missed. Some good, some bad, some- so bad they are funny.

Speaking of Unstable, did your wife like it?

Vacuum packed the beef after shredding. Tossed em in the freezer. Not sure what imma use it for. It's tasty, but aside from hamburgers I don't really eat beef.

Spose I could load it up with cumin and call it tacos.

Got a 2lb top round too. Planning to slice it up for Philly cheesesteaks. That I love. Wife won't eat em tho.

But no worries about my end of dinner plans, boy's getting Giordanos pizza for his birthday dinner

She's gifting you hiccup prevention

I need a new camper. Used to have basically a second house when I has one. I'd be sleeping on a queen bed in an air conditioned room instead of this mosquito infested garage.

Fuggit I'm going to my basement.

Dammit, left my cell phone at work on the front desk. Did the remote lock thing, I'll pick it up tomorrow morning.

Some big wigs were in today. Watched them tour the place and provide direction on improvements (we had our yearly audit last week). Up until today, I thought our store manager was such a meathead, there is no way there could be anyone more incompetent to run a store. Upon watching and listening to the input from the regional manager, I stand corrected.

They were more concerned on where & what display should be relocated... stupid stuff like the produce department needs to mix up the colors of the produce displays - cucumbers shouldn't be next to the green peppers, put tomatoes in between with the white onions so it goes green, red, white, then green again. Are you franking kidding me? This is your focus on store improvements? It was so sad it was funny.

On the plus side, I was able to get out of the Asset Protection/secret shopper gig. Been lobbying for it for the past few months (dealing with people sucks). They hired in a retired prison guard/corrections officer chick (MACS, Walmart wants YOU!).

She'll be shadowing me for a couple weeks then I'm moving a supply/inventory gig in back. Supply, Logistics, and Inventory Coordinator or some silly BS name they use. I'm gonna call myself a Walmart SLIC (I made up my own acronym to sound important and stuff, I think it's pretty SLIC).

Pays a little more but I don't really care about that. The pay rate is not my major focus there. Just wanted to get out of dealing with the public and still take advantage of the free benefits.

Good Friday Morning! Up early, could not spend any more time in the rack.

Happy Friday fellas

Bucky, every time I meet a suit the competence goes down as their pay goes up.

Just remember, their holiday bonus is more than your salary.

The parking garage at work was built for patients so they didn't have to walk far to get to the outpatient services building. More spaces than patients so they opened the ground level to people with 20 years, and suits. They ran out of room so they bumped it to 25 years. Ran out of room again so they moved it to 30. Ran out of room so they changed it to administration and management only. Ran out of room so now it's only administration/suits allowed to park in the garage. Patients get the 2nd floor. Ground floor and 3rd floor all for suits.

Yeah, the Peter Principle is alive and well.

Mornin' dudes...

I'd work at WalMart for some extra scratch. Why not? If the wife decides she's done working she can take Tank to the dog park and I can get a part time gig.

Can't interfere with fishing... sorry.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Respectfully, I agree.

At the beach condo for the rest of the day. Sitting in a recliner inside the air conditioning with the giant sliders open and a direct view of the ocean!

Ya can kinda make your own hours. Tell them the days and times you're available and they fit it in. I'm pretty flexible and fill in holes where needed (that's what she said).

I currently like doing 2nd shift. Wake up in the morning, brew a pot of coffee, do my school crap in the morning then go in around 2 or 3. Get out around 11-11:30, do some more school crap, go to bed and do it all over again the next day. I do about 30-35 hrs/week of mindless work.

Hardest part is biting your tongue while dealing with stupid people. But as a former CO, you probably are pretty experienced in that skill set already. Benis are good. Those applicable to you would be the 6% 401(k) matching & employee stock purchase plan.

Those applicable to me are the ones mentioned above plus the free tuition. Roughly milking them to the tune of $1,100-1,200/month of free money (but I'll still have to pay Uncle Sam for some of it). The benefits that I get are more than my monthly take home pay on paper... I'm a poor college student struggling to make ends meet... I'm looking for your sympathy. The sympathy cards are in isle D4.

For those that say Walmart is making money and profit by paying a minimum wage and working profits off of the backs of the little guy, I say bah humbug. They offer opportunities that most companies don't, ya just gotta take advantage of them.

I look too much like a cop to work in Loss Prevention.

Yep way out-of-the-way for this trip. Got to spend time with the extended family on the wife side for the next couple of days. I have been to door County as well as herded with 8track in the past. Would be happy to do both again when the chance arises.

It would be more than half. She's made calculated moves. House, at least half future income, car is hers by indiana laws. She's no dummy, she's made moves since day 1 to ensure she don't have to work, and if I bail, she still don’t have to work.

I gotta give credit to the player, but the game sucks balls. I have no interest in doing it again, so I stay.

I have no single purpose in life. She does, and that's to never work.

I won't win.
