That’s how much weight in wine I’ll be throwing around today. 250 cases at 40 pounds each will need to be moved off a truck, then inside, then opened, repackaged and then taken to Fed Ex. I only need to ship about 20 out today which is good as there’s no way it could all be done in one day. Usually I get some help from 3 or 4 guys and pay them each $100 but this time I’m going to tackle it along with my hunting buddy who said he’d come and help out. I figure if I do it myself, I can skip the gym today.
Yesterday the misses was working and finally finished up after a Webinar (which is an on-line seminar) around a little after 6pm. The boys played around here with a friend of the youngest who came home with them after school. Before they came home, Mom took them all sledding for about an hour.
I think my Mom and Uncle T are headed to Scottsdale tomorrow morning unless her plans have changed. She’s cleaning out the house down there as she decided she’s going to sell it. She doesn’t go down much any more with Dad gone and the markets bouncing back a little so it’s probably a good time. We were going to try to go but the airfare is too expensive as everyone is going down for Spring Training (baseball).
The misses has another international conference call this morning with the art designer and then will be off to the office early afternoon for meetings so I’ll need to get the boys unless we can find a friend to get them.
The Pope is retiring, big deal huh. The almighty sequester is still being touted as the end of the World by Chicken Little, or I mean the Pres. Before we go on, let’s get one thing straight here, the sequester does NOT cut any money from current spending, all it does is slow or reduce the rate of future spending! The way he tells it, everything is going to stop, our food will no longer be safe, schools will be shuttered, security at airports will take days, etc, etc, etc. They even released a bunch of illegal aliens (criminals) around the country yesterday saying they had to because of the sequester, which hasn’t even happened yet! Of course they did this mostly in Arizona as the Pres and Governor Brewer do not get along. To put it in perspective, if an agency was going to hire 100 people next year, the sequester means they can now only hire 98, a 2% cut, that’s it, nothing else. Thank God everyone finally seems to be over him and his endless campaigning and scare tactics. I guess like anything else, people become complacent after they hear something over and over. And oh yea, the government is set to shut down the end of March so that’ll be the next end of the World scenario we’ll all have to listen to. Give me a break.
Last up is they’re making adultery legal in Colorado! So, you can legally buy pot, marry your gay partner (I’m ok with gay people having the same benefits via civil unions but think the definition of marriage should be for a man and a woman) and now cheat on your husband or wife. But remember, you can’t teach anything about God in school! Nice…..
Ok, time to run, I need one more cup of coffee before I start moving furniture around to accommodate all the wine I’ll be stacking around the house. The wife hates this time of year as there’s wine everywhere but it’s part of being self employed and she understands.
Have a great day and God Bless.
