Ramblings of a Madman

  There is a reason Chrysler is about to go under and is being bought by a crappy little foreign car company.......... they sent my F*****G truck to a dealership in New Jersey.  WTFOMGELEVENTYBBQ 
..........Chrysler First financial goes under right after I order the truck.....no problem GMAC picks up lending for the dealership.....Monday, GMAC gets pissy and decides they will no longer fund deals for chrysler vehicles.  Chrysler, in it's infinite wisdom, re-routes all vehicles going to this dealership....custom order be damned.  Guess they figure there is no way a country boy from Frederick, MD might be able to ....I don't know......say........provide his own damn financing.  How does a company that has fucktards working in high positions expect to survive let alone prosper.
  I just made a salesman in Hagerstown cry.....no, really......... a salesman in New Jersey laugh his ass off and a sales manager from Hagerstown call me on his day off.....twice.  I would have been on the phone with the owner but she was at a funeral.  Good thing the sales manager was able to scramble and come up with a solution.....she might have had another to attend.  We now have a solution.....a solution that leaves me without my truck for another ten days or so and about 200 miles on it when it arrives....but a solution non the less.  I really, really need to beat something right now.  Too bad there isn't a Crown Tourney this evening.

  Slipping and taking a fall on wet grass, landing hard on your back (never really had the wind knocked out of me before this....it sucks) hearing your neck make that....stepping on Capt Crunch sound all really blow.  Having your wife run out to help (after you can finally breath well enough to yell for her) having her slip in the exact same spot, kicking you in the head on her way down, cutting your scalp open.......that blows beyond words. 

  I wish we had it on video tape......could probably win some money

  Years from now I'm sure we will laugh about it......right now the pain and thought of possible broken ribs kind of sucks all the funny out of it

Less than twenty four hours ago I was splashing around in the warm North Carolina surf........and now......................
 

Can I have a do over please?

Retired United Statas Marine Corps Colonel Ed McMahon, dead at the age of 86

  Tomorrow is Friday.....the weekend is about to begin.....daughter turns five..........and my damn keg just spit out its last drop of Black and Tan.  I'm swimming in the deep end of the bad karma pool

Oh goodie........wonder how long before they try to kill each other?


Wonder how hard it would be to convince the Federal Gov't that school should go on all year.....with two weeks off for Pennsic?

  The love tap I received across my left ass cheek this Saturday past has finally decided to show its colors.  Black and zombie flesh purple.  Glad I don't have to explain this one to my doctor...........hope it doesn't fall off

Current Mood: refreshed

The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don’t know about you.

  Mike 1.....forces of Fu 0

Apparently my fox friend is slacking or has moved on.  The forces of Fu probed the lines tonight........and met with.........death.  Ok......not a confirmed kill but, fu flipping thru the air, tufts of fu fur and a blood trail......you do the math.

  Killing is easy......it's kind of like breathing

Current Mood: numb
Current Music: Apocalypse Now sound track

  My keg beer cooler/dispenser  (cause keg-o-rator is apparently a trademarked brand name) is up and running!  Fine tuning it, unfortunately, required drawing several pint glasses to be certain the pressure was correct and the head/beer ratio was good to go.  Dumping perfectly good beer down the drain is wrong on so many different levels so.......today......I'm on Australian time!!!

Current Location: heading to the shop....no really
Current Mood: giggly

  Dinner at Eadric's several hours ago.....still feel like I'm gonna e'splode!  OMG can the potter cook!

Life is sooo not fair. Got the kegerator....got the keg......and, Roberts oxygen is closed on weekends! Rat Bastards!

Current Mood: annoyed

Tonight, the first lettuce from this years garden.  I'd forgotten just how great homegrown salad nomage was.  Bliss

Current Mood: full

 <rant>   We finally get the garden planted....well mostly, and flowers in the deck boxes and on the water barrels and in the flower beds and they are calling for frost tonight in Frederick County!!!!  Ummm....hello?  It is nearing the end of May!!!  Next person who mentions global warming gets punched in the sack!  <\rant>





*****yes, I know this has nothing to do with global warming.....it is a joke.....hello......please do not respond trying to educate me, spouting your opinions or views on global warming........or you might get punched in the sack too :).

Current Mood: pissed off

  Somehow managed to do something to my back, although I have no idea what or when.  Yesterday, out of the blue, the invisible fist clenched around my lower spine.  It feels like last Pennsic all over again.  After eight months of no pain and feeling like a normal,able human, I once again find myself moving around like a sloth, fighting to keep my legs under me thru the spasms and trying not to scream.  I can't believe I actually used to live with this as the norm.  This could make Sapphire kind of interesting

Current Mood: annoyed

The past couple of months have been pretty insane.  Getting ready for Sheep and Wool, without knowing what to expect made me, ummmm......less than than fun to live with, be around, know.......  TJ was very supportive and understanding (even when I know she wanted to knock the crap out of me with a bat) during the months leading up to the event.  I, in my normal fashion set some pretty lofty goals for myself......some might say......oh wait, did say, un-realistic.  Hey, it's how I roll. 
  The event is over.  Slowly things are getting back to normal, or at least as normal as they ever get around here......or at least they were until I realized Sapphire Joust is in a week and a half and I have NO inventory!
Anyway, we survived MDSW, I gained the knowledge I'll need going forward, the store front worked smashingly and I achieved the goals I set.....the largest of which was to pay off the lawn mower....no payments for a year is great....unless you are close to the year being up.....and you still owe the entire balance (I blame the stupid fu#*&!g townhouse).  A few clicks of the mouse and that credit card has a zero balance!  Yea us!
  Some time ago, I promised myself a reward should things go well and I achieve my goals.  Today.......

  The promise was kept

Kegorator or FN-FAL

  Another great day.  Met lots of nice folks, breakdown and load up was perfect and we are home.  Physical/mental shut down is starting and sleep will occur soon.  Tomorrow will be a day of rest and X-box, Tuesday, back in the shop and working my order backlog.  All in all MDSW ROCKED!!!!  I'm already making plans for next year!  Thanks to everyony who stopped by to say hi.  You have no idea how much seeing a friendly face helped

Current Mood: exhausted

  up and getting ready to leave to face day two.  Day one was .......WOW!  Got to see a lot of SCAdian friends.....(most of whom I didn't recognize dressed up in these funny mundane clothes), made a sale or two hundred......tired beyond belief.  I'd wish that today was as good as yesterday but I don't have much left to sell
