    Hey Jamie. I'm at home looking at cabinets, counter tops and floor tiles on the internet. It's pretty cold here, but no ice yet. Tomorrow is supposed to be really shitty out. No ice storm, but shitty none-the-less.

    Tile and Cabinets.....right on, the lookin' is easier than the finishin' in my experience.
    I totally gutted and rehabed our master bath a couple of years ago....big job, but it came out nice.

    Ice is supposed to be less tomorrow, but still in the 20's I think......but 50 on Saturday.

    No gutting for me. That's the contractor's job. I would do it, but I don't have the time anymore. I started on new career path(with my father in-law and brother in-laws) and I'll be working 6 days a week 10-12 hours a day. I just started yesterday, so far so good.

    I was supposed to go to our office in Little Rock and stop in Tulsa to pick up another guy from the company. When I got here it was just plain to shitty to keep going. The roads between Tulsa and Ft. Smith, AR were worse that what I had already driven through. The company said stop.

    I like both the old and new blends. The new one, edicion especiale is by Pepin. I smoke them once in a while.

    edit to add: No, no danger of running out of smokes. ;)

    I think we found a good one. He came highly recommended by my uncle. He had his kitchen done by this guy and it came out nice. And since that's what I need done... Just waiting on his estimate(should have it tomorrow).

    I've worked 23 hours in the past 2 days. So far, I'm holding up. Just an FYI, I'm being trained to run my own pizzeria with my father in-law as a partner. They've owned pizzeria's for the past 30+ years(something around that anyway).

    Snow and now turning to ice here as well. Hopefully college will be closed tomorrow and I can go snowboarding.
    At least you got a smoke in and didn't have to deal with the icy roads.

    My wife has been in restaraunt management for 25 years. It's certainly no easy job.

    back up to this page: http://www.ashtoncigar.com/La-Aroma-de-Cuba-Main.jsp
    See the edicion especiale at the top? Both cigars are Ashtons....one is blended and manufactured by Pepin, the other isn't. They are both good cigars imho.

    Cool.

    Customer #1: "Hi. I'd like to order a large plain pie"
    Pizza guy: "Ok. 15 - 20 minutes"

    Customer #2: "Hi. I'd like to order 15 cheesesteaks, and 4 strombolis"
    Pizza guy: "Ok. 15 -20 minutes"

    Is that a universal pizza shop thing?

    Nope. Nobody says "pie" and pizza in Canada.
