Monday Night Countdown

I’ve been sitting here at home all day long on an unscheduled day off from work waiting as A.C. technicians ultimately remove and replace my longtime condensing unit outside with an all-new modern and efficient one.

Here are the TOP 5 advantages of this particular situation:

5.  I have actual South Florida subtropical weather right here in my living room with all-time record high temperatures approaching the upper-80s and heat indices well into the 90s !

4.  I actually see cumulonimbus clouds forming at approximately 12 feet above ground level here in my living room. I may have to issue myself a severe thunderstorm watch for the northern suburbs of my living room.

3.  Simple Math – (88°F + 58% RH) = moist soft skin to die for !

2.  I planned this all along in a dire effort to lose the remaining half-dozen pounds to get back to my longtime fighting weight of the mid-to-upper-160s.

1.  With the $600 that I spent getting my car repaired last Monday and the $2,600 that I spent on this Monday to get my A.C. replaced it now appears that I need a bailout from the Federal Government. I’ll ask for one when I go back to work tomorrow morning.

The Great Ant Invasion Of 2009

TODAY I actually bit into (and had a small piece in my mouth) of an ant-infested chocolate donut !

Yesterday morning at Publix (where shopping is a pleasure) I bought two boxes of Entenmann’s donuts (on sale for $3 per box). I ate 3 out of the total 16 donuts yesterday, and I was about to eat 3 more this afternoon when I realized what I was actually biting into. Long story short the remaining 13 donuts went into the garbage and then ultimately into the dumpster outside.

I don’t typically have a problem with ants (or any other bugs in my home for that matter), as Orkin treats my home once a month for pests. I guess the 13 chocolate donuts sitting on my kitchen counter some 33 days after the last regularly-scheduled Orkin treatment was simply a recipe for disaster !

Saturday Night Retro

This weekend marks my 15TH anniversary back in Homestead following my original nearly 5-year residence from December 01ST 1987 through the destruction caused by Hurricane Andrew on August 24TH 1992. I was away from Homestead for nearly 19 months, and I never really thought that I would see it again – until just a few months before I actually moved back down here.

Homestead Air Force Base officially reopened as Homestead Air Reserve Station (now Base) on this exact weekend in March of 1994 as our Squadron of F-16 jets came roaring back to life across the subtropical blue skies of America’s Riviera.

It was “The Sign” that Homestead was starting to get back to normal again.

I present to you for your ‘Saturday Night Retro’ review – this U.S. platinum pop smash that spent 10 months on the pop charts in 1994. It was the runaway # 1 smash in the entire free nation as our jets returned back home again on that glorious 3RD weekend in March of 1994.
