I'm about Halfway done now trying to change the head gaskets on the POS Chevy diesel. Major turning point

I am not leading a counterterrorism unit and thus don't have to train, sweat, bleed, go on airplane trips, or even out of town. 

I have small white pills and wine at my disposal.  (Just ran out of beer though)

Oh, I have enough wood split to last this winter & next.

And one of the best things is, that after the E320 got rear ended at the stop sign, the other lady's insurance paid for the repair work and I got the bumper replaced & painted that was already slightly damaged.

Got a Free Birthday dinner at Benihana. Chateaubriand and Lobster tail.  I do this every year with my parents. At least this year there wasn't a table full of screaming grade school kids making me deaf. lol   Had a lot of fun.

If you want a free dinner there on your B'Day, sign up for it online. It's a great deal! http://profile.benihana.com/registration/

  Aaahhh. Just had my first cup of espresso out of my new Capresso machine. The old Krupps gave up on me a couple months ago, and I've been drinking cowboy coffee(or Turkish if you prefer) out of a sauce pan since. Man that first espresso was just out of sight!

The owners of Makers Mark (Jim Beam) presented my son with a bottle of their finest whiskey

with his image etched on the glass in full Mad Men attire, they got a good photo of him somehow

Sonny and his Ad/Marketing Agency helped manage them through their insane watering down fiasco/crisis (they mis-forecasted their production demand badly)

on he got them back on track with un-diluted product, (anyone remember New Coke?) his advice was make it high demand and raise the price

he tried to steer them away from the dilution path but they didn't listen until the whole web exploded in outrage

He is now trying to get them to market their un-aged white whiskey

I'm on Day 5 of my juice fast.  (nothing but vege's & fruit put through the juicer)

So far, I'm feeling great!  AND: (biggest thing for me) I'm 5 days free of what used to be a daily stomach acid-reducing medication.

I have finally quit drinking soda!  47 years after my mom put it in my baby bottle
