Good morning gang.

Windy here yesterday and we had some local power outages. I wasn't one of them thank goodness.

Those are some very nice cabinets Tom.

On with today.

Colder here this morning temps in the 30's. Should be nice for the most part with some flurries later this afternoon.

Word of the Day Tuesday, November 25, 2014


nostomania \ nos-tuh-MEY-nee-uh, -MEYN-yuh \, noun;

Today is National Parfait Day



Usually served in a specially styled glass, parfaits are what this day is all about as we all celebrate National Parfait Day. Each year on November 25th, people fill their glasses with layers of their choice of ingredients anywhere from ice cream and chocolate to yogurt, fruit and nuts.

A French word that literally means “perfect”was originally used to describe a kind of frozen dessert beginning in 1894.

Served differently in other countries, in the United States, parfait refers to either the traditional French parfait or to a popular variant, the American parfait, which is made by layering parfait cream, ice cream and/or flavored gelatin or puddings in a tall, clear glass topped with whipped cream, fruit and/or liqueurs.

The Northern United States expanded on the parfait and began to use yogurt layered with nuts or granola and/or fresh fruits which may be, but are not limited to, strawberries, blueberries, bananas or peaches. This spread quickly across all parts of the country and the “yogurt parfait” gained popularity as a breakfast item.

Times have changed over the years and now parfaits are made up of almost any dessert combination that works well put into layers in a tall, clear glass, ranging from crushed Oreo cookies and cheesecake with whipped cream to angle food cake pieces and lemon cream filling with whipped cream.

SHOPPING REMINDER DAY

Shopping Reminder Day is observed annually on November 25th.

Up and out early....gotta go north and take soil tests today....supposed to hit 40's......we are late this year due to the cold weather.....

Have a safe day Guru's........

Oraire gye!

The weather geniuses said it will be sunny today - it was too dark to get a confirmation from the weather weenie.

A little story:

Last seat In Church

A few minutes before the church services started,
the congregation was sitting in their pews and talking.

Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church.

Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance,
trampling each other in a frantic effort to getaway from evil incarnate.

Soon the church was empty except for one elderly cowboy who sat calmly
in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's
ultimate enemy was in his presence...

So Satan walked up to the man and said, 'Do you know who I am?'
The old cowboy replied, 'Yep, sure do.'

'Aren't you afraid of me?' Satan asked.

'Nope, sure ain't.' said the cowboy.

'Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?' asked Satan.

'Don't doubt it for a minute,' returned the old man, in an even tone.

'Did you know that I can cause you profound,
horrifying AGONY for all eternity?' persisted Satan.

'Yep,' was the calm reply.

'And you are still not afraid?' asked Satan.

'Nope,' said the old cowboy.

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, 'Why aren't you afraid of me?'

The old cowboy calmly replied, 'Been married to your sister for 48 years.'

Have a good day, Gurus!

Ha! First time I've ever heard that one.

Good Morning CGs!

Chilly out there with a light blanket of snow on the grass and trees. We had snowfall yesterday, but too much residual rain on the ground and warm pavement temps for it to stick. On that note, it looks like I found a nice set of VW 16" stock rims with low mileage snow tires from a 2010 passat wagon that will fit mine. Supposed to go look at them later today.

Back is sore so I am taking a second day off from lifting to give my body a rest. I'll be back at it tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

FROSTY MORNING BUT THE SUN IS SHINING ON THE CHEROKEES, HIGH OF 48 PREDICTED.

WONDER WHY TUITION IS SO HIGH? "It is small-minded to focus on the university buying a $200,000 table,"

Typical CL flake. Was getting ready to leave to pick up the wheels, he changed his mind and isn't selling them anymore. Loser.

Doing OK on my second day. I kept ice packs on and off my forehead yesterday and it did wonders to keep the swelling down. Just came back from a 5 hour round trip delivery to the north side of Miami Beach. Lots of slow driving. I have a few bills to pay today from home and believe I can hear my pillow calling me as I write this .......... tommy ........ tommy ...........


Later ...........

You should try the ice packs on the inside of your forehead, Tommy. You've got the room so might as well use it

I swear that says orgy but with more letters....
My mind is not in the right place apparently today... and working up here with four guys don't help matters any - this place is an HR nightmare sometimes, although quite funny a lot.
Sunny here but not quite 50. I hate winter. Looks all nice and warm till you get outside, then it's freezing and what a shock. So, I got get hot coffee. I have a tremor disorder - don't need coffee when I'm trying to use photoshop. Makes for jiggly paint lines.
Happy Tuesday...

What I had planned for today is done ........ except for the nap part. I've cleared my calendar for the rest of day to make room for that. The phone should not ring. I said should not .......... (yawn) .........

Cold!

Hey guys...busy day today. Got the cabinets loaded, not exactly like I was planning, but loaded. The piano was just about 2 inches too wide for the two cabinets to fit in the trailer. So, I had the kids help me load it in the back of the pickup. The trailer has a long tongue, so the tailgate down isn't going to interfere with anything. Just will need Marcus to bring an extra hand to get the one out of the back of the truck.

It was a cold day here too. Looked nice, but if you were out in it for more than a few minutes, it would freeze the skin. My fingers were very cold.

We hope to beat some weather tomorrow and meet Marcus around noon in Salina. This should save him 8-9 hours of driving out to my place and it is on my way to KC so I'm not out anything either.

Oh, I ordered my new Core Shifter the other night. When it gets here I'll have to get that changed out.

Tom, I could meet you halfway if you want to bring me the cabinets instead ;-)

How thoughtful, Brad.
