last year wendy's introduced a burger called the baconator and the garbs and i - but really more the garbs than me because i had just gotten back on the meat wagon - wanted to give it a go...but we just didn't seem to ever be able to pull the trigger. we'd drive by wendy's and give each other knowing glances but we just didn't do it...but yesterday as i was on my way back from langley with a car load of steel tube and chairs i decided that today was the day and pulled into the wendy's just off the highway and ordered up the prize. i had to. and for the record, it's not as big as the ad would have you believe...sure it has all the bacon and the double patty but, it's medium sized at best...tasty for sure but it looks nothing like the ad, none ever do, well, with the exception of the white spot double double which looks almost perfect....most look like cans of smashed assholes but not the white spot double double - and it's a wicked burger so...anyhow...yesterday, after i got the tube back to the shop i convinced stevie janz that he should help me put it all together and after we mocked on up, actually we welded on right up, we decided to give it a full go today and make all the rails today. the rails are for the new headquarter store in richmond - a new store that should look great...so this morning i went to the shop a couple hours before stevie was suppose to get there and made all the plates and drilled all the holes, etc., so that when stevie showed up at 11 am we were ready to rock. and rock he/we did and by 1 pm we were done and the stuff was at the chromer down the street...is chromer right?...anyhow, they're getting chromed. thanks stevie...i then went, as part of our deal, and cut stevie's lawn and did a bunch of weed eating in his back yard....good deal.
i think i may have to break-up with one of my lawn order clients due to an over abundance of dog crap in thier yard. i made mention of this to them previously but when i was there today it was worse than ever...i don't know if i can go back....or maybe i should, since i'll only cut their grass two maybe three more times, just take the money and be done with it at the end of the season...i dunno.
i got some gas in my eye today as well when i was at joel's...so there i was in joel's kitchen trying to wash out my eye while joyce, joel's wife and fourth or fifth degree black belt, kept asking me how i got it in my eye and the kids did arts and crafts paying little attention. it was like of you were cooking and cuting peppers and then put your hand to your eye, except i was filling the gas tank and some gas must have gotten on my hand and then i rubbed my eye when i had an itch...and then wham! it starts to hurt more than...well, a lot of things...shitty...fine now, but shitty then.
tonight the garbs and i took chris from jj bean out to topanga for a snack. he'd never been so who better to go with than us?...it would have been that much better, as a guys night, if corie had joined us but he didn't make the scene...chris seemed to love his margs and his food so all in all it was a success....we dropped him off at his place just off main street a little tipsy and full of topanga goodness...good times...
ok...i'm sleepy...this is the second time i had to write all this as firefox crashed and lost everything the first time around....
plese enjoy the fine pics below....
