Morning gents. Looks like Shawn will be getting a mothership soon.

"Cigars International, the world’s largest retailer of cigars, is planning on opening up a new store in Jacksonville, Fla. next year.

The company has plans to build a new ground-up storefront at 4906 Town Center Pkwy. in Jacksonville."

Hope it's better than the 2 I've been to in the Tampa area.

Both of them seem like they hired disgruntled Starbucks barristas. The ones I encountered the conversation went very similar to..."We don't have that Padron in that size right now, but have you tried this Rocky Patel..blah blah blah blah...it smokes and tastes very similar. Its one of my personal faves!"

Yeah...no.

For the Life of me I don't know why they didn't let Gonz and Sven set up the stores personally.

May be a year or four, but there will be another truck, and another tranny failure.

sounds like Mrs. McConnell shoulda paid me more than a roll of life savers.
My bad for not ringing her bell before I started relocating her precipitation.
Didn't wanna wake her up.


Mrs. Delahunt paid me plenty... every time she answered the door in her robe and I got a good look at those hooters. Drool

The CI will be very, very close to the Total Wine. One stop shopping! Of course, TW has a humidor inside with decent smokes, too.

Damn Ring doorbell went offline and I couldn't get it to work again. Called CS and the guy tried to walk me through a couple things and then said, eff it... I'm sending you a new one. lol

Installed the new one already. Got it set up. Just need to mail back the faulty one with the label they sent.

Going to the shpo in the morning for a few hours.
Three more hours of making coin. Cha Ching.

In other news, on Monday and Tuesday, I also walked out of there with 17 crushed aluminum cans. I’m calling aluminum my Redneck 401k. Or, Channeling My Inner jONsEY!

Coffeed, emptied, and walked... what's next on the agenda?

Truck needs a good cleaning. Inside and outside. Poor thing ain't been washed properly in 4 months. That's probably what should be on the agenda. d'oh!

It does have a "Let's Go Brandon Edition" badge on it... so there's that. LOL

Scared

Might get you the job, though...

Wait, maybe that IS the job.


Anyway, good luck Corey!


P.S. Probably best if you don't list us as references. Just saying.

Great half day of work.

Four hours of driving, half of which was through forests in the Northwoods including a curvy path through the Menominee Indian Reservation. Got to hit a salvage hard and watched a bus get ripped apart.


Just me, a truck and a radio.

Dog now walked, chili for lunch.

Have to pay bills, run errands and if I'm lucky... a cigar.

Haha , kinda same plant but we cut it all up with propane torches. Now empty and we will be giving it alot of attention to bring it back to life. Alot more demo , painting , pressure washing , pretty much redoing all offices , getting rid of all the water lines and gas lines and pneumatic lines. Making it into a big warehouse probably around 100,000 square feet. I have pressure washed almost all of it.

HI guys!

been busy dealing with my older sister and her health issues...sucks getting old, becoming arthritic and inflexible, losing your physical strength, mobility and vitality...which causes falls that lead to head injuries that lead to dementia and declining mental capacity...had to adjust her assisted living service level/schedule...mo money, of course...glad my wife is willing to manage my sister's personal business affairs and communications with her health care providers at Kaiser and elsewhere...I'm the logistics guy: have car will travel...

exhausting trying to get her to do the exercises recommended by Kaiser's physical therapists... trying to get her enrolled in an at-home physical therapy service to try to improve her leg and arm and core strength and balance...she'll prolly listen to and obey a stranger...maybe that will reduce the number of falls...and also enable her to get up when she falls, hopefully...

trying to arrange her place to make it safer and easier for her to get in and out of chairs, bed, bathroom, etc...

Big sister is more like a big kid nowadays, one who can't take care of herself...heartbreaking...

hope that merry-go-round isn't what's ahead for me, or any of you here in the CBid community, in the near future...
