…I don’t mind.

And if what I throw on Wednesday could be replicated on Monday night league play, I’d be fine and dandy with it.

Another little impromptu round robin singles at Dolce tonight and I managed to take the prize and go undefeated to boot.

Chris B. said the only thing worse than losing out was having to read about it on my blog.

I guess it goes without saying Chris, this post’s for you!

As a commenter recently noted, it is much easier for me to watch the systematic dismantling of the American way of life from afar than it is for those of you seeing it up close and personal.

Forbes has a compelling article outlining 5 freedoms Americans will lose under “Obamacare”.  Scary stuff, but you need to go read it, if for no other reason than to know what’s coming.

I’ll likely be retiring overseas so I’m curious how screwed I’m going to be as well. 

You know, I’ve worked for Uncle Sam for over 30 years now.  Government certainly has it’s place and does some things well (our military for example) but it’s mind boggling to picture bureaucrats making health care choices on your behalf.

God help us all.

So, on Sunday I purchased a new grill.

This here’s the old one.  Still looking ok after over 4 years of hard use…

…but it was showing the wear and tear on the inside.  Plus, when I entertain it was just a little to small to get the job done right.

So it was off to the 4 Seasons store on base to upgrade.  Only problem was the damn box wouldn’t fit in either the back seat or trunk of my Nissan.  I rang up my co-worker Dennis and he graciously agreed to help me out with his SUV.

Here’s how it looks out of the box.  You know, I am not a real handy guy around the house, but even a fool should be able to throw this thing together in no time.

The instructions make it look easy enough, right?  Let’s get started…

Steps 1 and 2 complete.  Now granted, if I had four hands it would have been a whole helleva lot easier, but I got it done.

After steps 3 and 4 it feels like I’m on a roll…

Man, I haven’t done that much screwin’ in one afternoon since I was 17…

And in just over 2 hours of work, I done got me a new grill… Let’s try it out!

Ah, burgers and beans… Yum!

Dinner is served!  Let’s sit down in front of the TV and watch a little…

Deadwood! 

Ah, ain’t life grand?
