Time to........

Shut 'er down for the summer!

Yes, faithful readers (well both of you), it's that time.

Let's call it siesta.

Blogging is my hobby and as such I am the Boss, the CEO, and knucklehead who dictates when posts occur on this delightful speck of the internet.

I take summers off from posting, well, because I can. And seriously, will you miss me? Ha!

I've got 2 months off and it's summer in the Adirondacks and on the St.Lawrence River where I live and play.

The better half has a 2-DO list a couple of feet long and along with the fact that I like writing more in the winter dictate I shut 'er down.

That said, it's been another great year. Met some way cool people, made some very good pizza, and learned a few tricks along the way.

Before I go, here's a couple of shout-outs.

1- My buddy Dr. Fugawe.  He's a constant source of knowledge and inspiration, and as soon as I get plane fare I'm going to the left coast and visit.

2-My other buddy Pavlov, sick bastard that he is. He's funny and knows a lot of shit.

3- DM Cavanaugh from Albany (sort of) another guy that's not afraid to tell me I'm full of shit, and how to cook pizza properly!

4-Finally to my Watercooler friends, and there's a lot, what a freaking blast it is reading, responding and generally just shooting the shit.  

Seriously, there's Katie in Italy, and Donna in Colorado, and Di in Syracuse (or Liverpool or Cicero, somewhere around there.)

Oh yeah, some guy named Adam, down in the Big Apple.

Wild, simply wild, keeps me sane, well a bit.

So here we go, summer will go by at lightspeed

Finally some pics that pretty much sums it all up for this year.

Some guy from NYC doing what he does best!

 

Pizza @ Kate's Vol. 2.

 From the Pizza Sessions.

Ms. Pac Man.

 And we had pizza night and Jack and Annmarie's, time to play, and Jack's homemade IPA!

(That's Ted, not Jack!)

Where it all starts.

Hey Kids, enjoy the summer, see you in the fall!

Doggie Treats!

So I've got a dog.

And my friend Dhorst has a dog.

And they're both named Ellie.

They're beginning to bond , even though they've never met.

Di's Ellie sent our Ellie a chew toy.

Actually Di has a friend making doggie chew toys. 

She's testing them for durability.

The toy got a test tonight.

Here's the pics.

There' the Doggy Chew Toy!

Shit I chewed on it!

Ellie was happy, very happy.

Strike a pose.

 

 And there goes the chewy!

Hmmmm, my advice, no stuffing, and use Kevlar!

Thanks Di and Miss Ellie!

Another Grilled Cheese Post?

Why the hell not?

It's my blog and I'll cry if  I want to......

Seriously, when you do your own blog and aren't trying to make millions of dollars off side Ads, it takes a lot of pressure off.

But, I digress, here's last nights Grilled Cheese Adventure.

Italian Bread, sliced pepperjack and bacon.

And then.....

 

Didn't have regular tomatoes, but did have a bunch of grapes.

Sliced 'em up.

So where were we?

 Right, sliced onions.

What next?

Obviously, a slice of American cheese.

Time to cap it, cook it!

Yes.

Oh, and I served it with tomato soup. Out of a can!

Get after it my friends!

Love your Pets........

A rare sunny, warm day here in Tupper.

I got the lawn mowed, and after completing that task, I decided to hang out on the deck with Bunny.

Well, what's a poor boy to do but take pics of the kids!

Here's the Kid Key: Red is the Red one, Ellie is the German Shep puppy, and Lucy is the cat who doesn't give a shit.

Wait! That's not a pet! Oh well.....

That's my girl!

And there's Ellie chewing on a Plastic Pot Planter-Say that fast 5 times, I dare ya!

Seriously, my foot it's the planter and you take a pic of me?

Lucy's laughing at the puppy with it's leg in the planter.

Ellie went to see Lucy.

Lucy said, "Screw this, I'm gonna sit on a 4 x 4!"

Seriously, I like the puppy, but she's a pain in the ass!

That's all kids!
