Zombified

And spell zombified anyway you'd like but it describes the last few days of my life, zombified, dead meat. May I ask as to your condition...

Our weather has turned. Its cool and breezy. High forties this morning, and yes the repairman fixed our a/c unit. Took him four hours and cost us one nice pretty penny. I flipped it in the dirt.

Business is very slow...I mean snake belly dust swallowing dead butt slow. Blame it on Uncle's tax grab.

Old man in here yesterday, "I swear, Stephen, if I'm given a terminal prognoses I'll pack my bags and drive to the District and find the headquarters of the Infernal Revenue and blow those sonsabitches to hell."

Me, "God bless you."

Excuse me while I try to refresh my coffers. I also will make every effort to respond to the comments you've so kindly left in response to my last few pitiful posts. If given peace and silence, and of course time, I will give my all to a longer written piece. Seems of late I live a very hectic life and this poor excuse of a blog is its reflection.

Until then.

Stephen

  1. Life has to come first. Hopefully business picks back up after people get their tax loans to Uncle Sugar repaid to them.

  2. 2-3 inches of new snow last night. Supposed to get to 35 later today. Flood warnings all around me. Outside of that it's a very nice day.

    Not really unusual weather for here.

    I'm glad to have dodged the tax man another year, so all in all I can't complain.

    1. I try and dodge the tax man every year. I seldom if ever win. Thanks, my friend.

  3. Boss, have you considered opening a store front on Ebay for accessories and bling-bling? The blogosphere would push this really hard for you. You've got quite a following that would buy from you including myself.

  4. I think the zombie thing is contagious. Week starts out with promise. Wednesday finds me snuggled up to my Kindle while the wind blows and snow threatens. Take your time, my friend. We aren't going anywhere.

    1. Packed my Kindle to church, yesterday. We're as one...me and the Kindle. Thanks, my sweet friend.

  5. We've survived our annual blood-letting, er, tax-paying to Uncle. It was a bigger chunk this year, but that's because we made more. God continues to bless us for being here in obedience to His instructions.

    And as Vicki said, "Take your time, my friend. We aren't going anywhere."

    1. I do appreciate the kindness. It's been a very long week. Soon as I set this computer aside I'll be off to the bank and another fuzzy week of work.

  8. Maybe a walk on the beach will recharge your batteries. That's where I would be right now if I lived near you. Woke up this morning with the most unpleasant feeling that something bad is about to happen. I'm just waiting to see what it will be. I don't mean an earthshaking event. I mean, flat tire, leaking pipe, aggravating problem kind of bad.

    1. I never walk on the beach. The beaches are set aside for tourists and the like....we sell stuff to take to the beach so they can walk their dogs.
      I understand about the bad feelings. Just read an article on Drudge and EMP.

  9. DH went to the local gun show last weekend. Totally filled up with dealers and buyers. No ammo, though at a decent price. Best show in years. So, maybe things are looking up. Spring blahs....that's when we used to get castor oil down our gullets.
    Cheer up...things will get better.

  10. Excuse me . . . "poor excuse for a blog"
    I just don't see everyday postings as a necessity.
    Once a week is fine when the visitor lands on a piece of quality.
    Now go easy on yourself, Stephen. We'll be here.

    1. I haven't the time, nor peace and silence to write. Hate to just 'post' stuff. Thanks, Sweet Cathy.
