Good Sunday Morning to All! It's an overcast 58° on the way to 60° today, quite a change form the high of 90° yesterday.


Happy Birthday to Mrs. Beach

So she just missed 4/20 and sharing a birthday with Hitler? My son wasn't so lucky, he turned 15 yesterday. I didnt know about Hitler until he was born and like 10 people told me. Happy Birthday to your wife.

Got around to opening my third cigar storage case. I'd prefer to buy boxes of the things I like but even box sales aren't cheaper per cigar than fivers and tenski sales so my bulk singles case was nearly full. I'd prefer to keep bulk singles case for singles/partial fivers and not ten or twenty of the same thing. It was terribly disorganized trying to find something specific everything got jumbled around it was a mess. There's 3 compartments in the case, so I organized it alphabetically ish.

I bought some small plastic baskets that fit perfectly in a tote that I ended up using for box storage, so the baskets are going in the old box storage case. Each basket holds about 30 toros so I went through bulk singles and basketed related cigars that I had about 10ea, labeled with a piece of painter's tape, and put 4 baskets in the case. Now I have room for a lot more cigars in bulk singles and room for 4 more baskets in the case. And still plenty room in box storage.

Uno 5 NINE!

I don't use cash much. Typically only have $20 or $30 in cash in my wallet. I use my debit card for most purchases. If I order take out, delivery, or eat out I use the card for the bill and cash for the tip (so they can claim what they want for income tax purposes).

If the Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Vets, dance school, high school band or whatever are running a charity fund drive in front of a store or a car wash or something it's good to have some cash on hand.

Credit and debit card companies charge the retailer for u to use that card, then the cost ultimately comes back to you in increased prices. They also sell your purchase information to make even more money. Everything is a racket.

I'm sure the gubment wants u to use a trackable form of payment everytime too.

When cash price is available usually 3% discount, I do cash/check. If it's the same either way, I do card because then I get 2% or more back on the purchase. As long as I always pay it off, it's free money. And if it's a big expense I can't pay off, it goes on the card and I write a check from my heloc to pay it off and only pay 6% apr instead of 20-30.

Quiet in here today.

Braised a brisket, sliced it and packed it in its gravy today for a Passover seder tomorrow. An hour reheat in its gravy and it should be tasty.

Welcome back to Monday fellas

Howdy corey & y'all.

Always wonderful to drop in and surprise dear friends. Miss you all and hope things are well!

Hello Drafter!

Raise the minimum wage to $15-20 an hour and guess what?? That's what's gonna happen... automation. If I am just grabbing stuff to go... you ain't gettin' a damn tip.

Thursday weather looks good. Let's hope it holds up... I'm going fishing if it does.

still a cool 58, and overcast...sun will be out soon and temp should hit high 70's...slight chance of sprinkles tomorrow and Thu

I will not patronize anywhere that automatically adds a tip. A tip is based on the quality or service received, no less no more. It seems to me that many places are going to automatic minimum gratuity. I now ask if that is the case before ordering. If it is I leave.

I haven’t, yet, run into a place that automatically adds a tip other than when there’s a large group. I can kinda, sorta accept that but iffin’ I was forced to tip on a takeout order, I would definitely stop going to that place.

Even for tables of 8 or greater?

Evening 🌃 check in
