• Odds and Ends…

  One of my last free weekends before the holiday season kicks in. Seeing how Christmas falls on a Tuesday, our work schedule is going to get thrown out the window. I should know soon what’s going on. The way things are looking, the Saturday before Christmas and the Saturday after Christmas I’ll be working throw in a physical inventory and it gets real interesting. 

  The temps are in the 50′s here and for the next few days. Waiting for the shoe to drop/hammer to fall on North Eastern Ohio. Until Lake Erie freezes, the potential for a snowy winter is there.

  The Cleveland Browns are going to be on The Travel Channel next Tuesday at 10 pm on a show called Road Tested. May watch it. Just to see what the show is about.

  While driving home from work last night, heard a cover of Herman and The Hermits song “Something Tells Me I’m Into Something Good” by a band called “The Bird and The Bee”. Stopped off at the gas station and checked out their video on youtube (what did we do before smart phones???) and saw an amazing cover of the band doing Hall and Oates “I Can’t Go For That”. I quite liked it. It’s a funky version and they’re a funky band. They’re worth a listen.

  Seeing how I love books and am a impulsive person, I picked up a book at Dollar Tree about the Coal Industry and I’m almost through it. It’s by Jeff Goodell. It’s more than a few years but it’s informative and while reading it, I was a little self conscious about the light I was using being powered by coal. I picked the book up due to the ties my family in West Virgina.

  At the end of February, I’ll find out if the compression socks are doing their job and if the swelling in my legs have gone down. My left leg I have problems with but the doctor wants to wait for three months.

  A mother in Cleveland reported her son missing Sunday and few days later he’s found dead. And now the mother is in jail for his death. That in it of it’s self is typical but a local radio talk show host did a rant about how the “family” is not present and did a race rant. And I guess the father, who isn’t married to the mother, is a bit of a mess.

  Well, gotta go for now. Washing clothes and do outside chores this weekend before the weather turns bad. And enjoy the three day weekend.

  Be safe out there and relax before the holiday season/winter season starts…
