OK, rather then sit here and write some drivel, I’m just gonna pop in a few amusing links, ones that people sent me or I’ve found, they may have absolutely no redeeming value, they are just exactly what they are…
This is a great comic, yes, I do like comics, as a matter of fact, I had the first 4 years of “Heavy Metal” until my Mom moved when I was overseas and threw them out, how much would they be worth now? I dunno, but check this one out- Nowhere Girl, cool online strip
Maybe it’s from being woken up at 6:00 am by my girlfriend this morning, to hear her start on a half hour tirade about how I look at other girls in a “way” that makes her feel less then. How I don’t make her feel special enough. Hmmm, this from the person I hop in my Jeep and drive 30 miles in an instant to see whenever she’s feeling lonely or sad or needs to talk. I start to wonder how much is enough and will I ever be able to be enough. So in keeping with that train of thought (no, I won’t post the “top ten reasons you know it’s time to break up” again, astute readers may notice I closed that post so it’s not visible right after we got back together) I am adding these links in the “All men are pigs” tradition…

K, enough outta me, time to start my day!
Safety Tip
Please be careful, new evidence suggests the bathroom is a dangerous place!
Hey Guys,
Sorry it has been so long. You must be thinking- wait, he’s out of work, sitting at home, why isn’t he blogging twice a day? Well I’ve been keeping busy.
In the cottage, I ran the gas lines (for the stove and boiler), air checked all the water lines (thank God, no leaks) so I was able to insulate the bathroom and finish putting armaflex on all the water lines. I set the base for the stall shower, and I also finished all the stub outs in the boiler room. So basically the bathroom and boiler room are ready to be sheet rocked and taped. And I installed the top kitchen cabinets, they look good. I plan on getting the bottom cabinets and the counter top in by tomorrow night. Much as dread it, I guess this weekend I’ll be sheet rocking the bathroom. Rocking isn’t that bad, I just project about the damn taping afterwards… But I need to get moving and finish it as I need the income.
The job market sucks still, been horrible for the last two years. Ever since the dot coms all crashed, there is not much call for Solaris System Administrators anymore. Getting to the point where I wonder if I have to change careers again. Problem is I can’t walk into a new situation and earn enough to pay all my bills. But that’s my shit, has been my dilemna for the past few years trying to maintain the homestead here by myself. I’m not complaining, just tellin’ it like it is.
On the personal side, life is good. Happy, joyous, and free. That was the promise and that’s what has come true. G and I are fine, very much loving each other, very much in awe of how wonderful our relationship is and how full our hearts can be. Yes, without sounding all sappy, I must say, for me, that I feel as if God brought us together so I could learn the true meaning and experience of loving and being loved, of being accepting, patient, understanding, tolerant, giving, receiving, and so much more. And fantasizing about the future, building our dream environment/home/etc. I guess this may be old hat to some of you, but it is all new and exciting to me.
The kids are good, Danny is coming up for the weekend, I hope Sarah and Maggie will visit on Sunday, I miss them so much. And it’s already Thursday and Sam has made the school bus every day so far this week! Yeah, that’s a good thing…
OK, I need to get some stuff done, but it’s been awhile so I’ll throw a few links your way-
Sam found this one, check out the prank calls, and sound boards so you can make your own-
Funny way to waste some time
And of course, being very intrigued by all things meme, here a few must reads-

Hey, this is great (Thanks Paul)… Just go here, fill in your name and have a look at your number one Personal Fan!!
Hey, who is giving the posts negative Karma ?
Just so you know I click the + and it cancels out your negative vote so it gets back to zero…
Don’t be a wussy, psot and say who you are !
I know it’s been awhile.
But finally, the Garage-Cottage Tranformation page has been updated. Yup, we are at phase 3.75 now ! Getting there, I hope to have the kitchen cabinets installed in the next few days and that should make it look like a bona fide living space… OK, stay tuned…
So was that the blizzard of ’03 ??
It started Sunday night around 10:00 pm and it ended last night right about midnight. I went down to the village Sunday night, got some 2-Boots pizza, always like the city when it’s snowing! We got around two feet here, I think down south and near the water they got quite a bit more. The snow plow guy finally made it here at four in the morning (woke my ass up) and he managed to get 2/3’s of it plowed. So if I can dig out a pathway from the driveway to the door… Well, you get the idea. Here are a few pics, these are from yesterday morning, keep in mind we got another foot after these pictures. Here’s one driving, and here’s a few cars on the side of the road down in Greenburgh, here is another snowed in car. I’ll take pics today of the yard and post them later. OK, I have to get dressed and start shoveling… Later-
OK, cleaned the walk with Paul. Here are a few more pics- My Jeep, notice the snow is as high as the hood! Here’s the backyard, the view from top of the driveway and the view of the walk. This is how much is piled on top of our oil tank, and walking around the drifts are up to my knee!
I mean, for me, I like snow, so this has been a nice last couple days. Makes me SMILE …
Hi -
I know, I haven’t posted in ages. Work has been hectic, stuff to do around the house, etc. But I did want to say I hope everyone had a HAPPY Valentines Day !!
G and I went out to Queens, she wanted to treat me to a feast and eat some real Kalbi, which is beef short ribs you grill yourself right at the table. Then wrap it up in a leaf of lettuce with some shredded scallions and maybe a dab of miso based bbq-sauce. All I can say is, WOW, it is dee-lish! You can take a piece sizzling right from the grill and just pop it in your mouth, all juicy and nice…. The picture you just saw was from a chain called Kang Suh, they have a place in Westchester, but we went to Dae Dong, it’s on Northern Blvd. by 220th st. in Queens. Here’s the table after we got done, actually there were even more plates of food while we were still eating! Here’s a shot that has the cool fountain that was next to our table. And you can see the kalbi cooking on the grill here, and yes, I anonymized her face … So it was a nice evening, and then we stopped by Han Yang Mart to get some little yogurt drinks and choco-pies !!
Hope you all had a nice holiday as well and I’ll be posting again soon-
Finally ! I finished priming the cottage today. Was up until four in the morning last night caulking and doing the first coat. Then today I went up and finished the second coat. Looks great. Funny how a place all of a sudden looks like a real living area once it is all one color, rather then raw sheet rock with seams all over the place… Anyway, I’m beat, going to sleep. I’ll post pictures of it on the “Garage Transformation” page tomorrow.
Pho-
Gotta love it. What else has that wonderful seasoning, those soft noodles, nice hunks of beef floating in broth, and you get huge bowl of it for 4 bucks… Yup, went to China Town with Sam and Maggie today, and I just had to go to that vietnamese place on Mulberry street that is always packed. Now you’d think in China Town, we’d have to eat chinese, maybe have some good peking duck, but I don’t get to eat vietnamese as much as I’d like, so pho it was… I think the kids liked it, but Maggie looks kinda freaked in this picture, huh ? But Sam chowed down with me, we cooked up some thin sliced beef right at the table and rolled it up in lettuce, mmmm, good stuff.
Then we stopped at the Dragon Land Bakery, I always go there when I’m in the neighborhood, I love that place and it is so cheap ! All the good cakes and cookies are like fifty or sixty cents, and they have bubble tea, which is soooo yummy, I had mango, Sam had honeydew flavored. The place is always packed, people constantly coming in and out, and they have terrariums built into the tables, with live turtles and stuff. Nice fish tank, with a couple of impressive Arrowanas swimming around. And the cookie ladies are very professional and efficient. Swing by, you won’t be disappointed… It’s at 125 Walker St, right by the corner of Canal and Mulberry.
So the parade was short and the sidewalks were so packed you had to squeeze your way through every inch. We stopped in some neat stores, one place had big jars of shark fin and birds nest. You can’t see the price in this pic, but the red birds nest is 2,800 dollars a pound! We saw some cool stuff. So the food was great, and I picked up a nice tea pot and a new tea cup, both dirt cheap. All in all a nice day. On the way home, Sam and I stopped at Stew Leonards and stocked up on the juices he likes, so we took care of an errand too. Came home, talked to G for an hour on the phone, and then wrote this. K, tomorrow’s my day off so I wanna enojoy it. Later…
