Thursday, 12-11-25: Shopping failer and Celtics
game on TV. Nothing about whether I went to her birthday or not, but I'm guessing not. I did find this gem of an opening to my 12-19-2024 update: We have no excuses today. Sales were ten pounds of crap stuffed into a five-pound bag, and that is a bunch of crap. I'm so done with that stupid fuckin' restaurant that has ruined my shitty life and made me depressed and at times a little suicidal. I don't fuckin' care if I live. If a giant asteroid comes to pulverize this planet oh well at least I had a good run before it all ended. Fuck that Mad Kat restaurant. OMG WHAT A BUNNH OF CRAP! I'm not sorry I wrote that, though. Most of the fall and early winter last year that was a recurring theme. This time the restaurant will be different, though. Maybe? Hopefully! The Celtics are in Milwakee playing the Bucks tonight. Boston is up 71-63 early in the 3rd, and the Celtics are 10-2 in their last dozen games and are in 3rd place now after a lackluster start to their season. They showed a video of Tatum practicing and he looked good so that's also encouraging. Tatum blew out his achillies in May last year during a playoff game and after he went down so the the team and they washed out of the playoffs. What a bunch of crap! I don't really watch too much for sports lately because I'm so friggin' busy again. My awesome wife crushed it today when she got sales reps in that place, made phone calls, and just generally owed that CEO role. She needs to do that more when we're open, too. I helped her quite a bit at the restaurant today, but I did have to spend a little over 3 total hours today for that garage job. Part of that was a supply-run, part was a little recessed light shopping online, and most of it was starting this:
Hoomeowner wants a badass bookshelf-cabinet-thing so I started that. It helps this will be the third one I've built. My goal is to get his stuff done this month so in January I can focus on the restaurant and the tax business. Still hoping to open the restaurant mid-January, but we can't set a date yet because there is still too much to do there. I worked on this wall today at the restaurant:
^Wainscotting will be painted and of course I'll install a transition between that and the sheetrock above. A new bar-top needs to happen. On Sunday Remy and I went beast-mode to get the top off the bar, and that was NOT easy. Epoxy seeped down into the joints and seams and acted like a glue so it was a battle, but we won:
I don't know what the new bar-top will look like; I just hope we don't screw up the epoxy like we did when we made the bar-top five years ago. Thankfully for now the place heats well so that will help the epoxy cure. The Celtics had a big lead early in this game and now they're losing, 78-75. What a bunch of crap! The Bucks aren't very good this season, but they have been good in many previous years. I should bivouac soon. Game will probably be over in 45 minutes, but I'm getting tired. I have two days to get Nadia a birthday gift (I'll just put some cash in a birthday card and call it good) and 12 days to get my awesome wife a Christmas present. Can I make that happen? Maybe? Hopefully! _________________________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday, 12-06-25: Snow, cold, and trying to
do a remodel. Seems like 2020 but a lot better than 2020.
^Photo taken Tuesday PM, and ever since then it's a tundra here. I was barely able to get the ceiling of that garage mostly insulated as the snow fell, and I took that photo from the truck while the homeowner fired up his huge RV to park it in there for the winter. It does fit, but barely. I don't think I can finish the exterior front until the spring due to the totally fucked weather. Having real winter arrive a month early = what a bunch of crap! Seriosuly, bummer. It's expensive when it's cold because there has to be heat so we don't die. This cold is all-bad for the heat bill for the restaurant, especially with the ceiling half-gone, but there are two things we can do about it: nothing and like it. The cold has no end in sight either. Zero degrees first thing yesterday morning = HARD PASS THAT SUCKS. I only worked 17 hours on that garage this week. What a bunch of crap! I'm aiming for closer to 20 hours a week there, but the homeowner owes me some money so I don't feel horrible when I'm not there. He usually owes me money and I sorta like that because it gives me a reason to NOT be there all the time. I enjoy the work, but I'm insanely busy and I've been insanely busy for the past five years. What a bunch of crap! My work-life balance is totally pwned and it's my own damn fault. My awesome Mad Kat wife and I took all kinds of crap to the dump this morning before baby Dylan's 1st birthday party. She's way too young to know who she is but watching her eat cake was entertaining. She just grabbed it with her tiny little fists and heeled it into her pie-hole. Then she went into a food-coma and slept for two hours while Kat and I went back to work at the bar. Kat ate too much cake and almost went into a food-coma as well hahahaha! We took the trash to the Brewer Landfill where they don't put you on a scale so I dunno how much trash we tossed, but we spent $80 total for two trips using the bigass dump trailer so I'd estimate we tossed over one ton of debris. That dump trailer is awesome! If we didn't have that I would have just gotten a dumpster delivered, and that would have cost ten times more. We did get approved for a loan and we have precious... precious money in the bank, but we don't want to blow it all before we open. If we went to the other dump it would have cost between $200-$300. I like the other dump, they treat me well there and give veteran pricing, but nothing can top the Brewer Landfill. One day that place will be too full and it will close, but I'm hoping that doesn't happen for a long time then it won't be my problem anymore hehehe. Wow, it's only 2120 and I've been up for a while hanging out with me, myself, and I. I have one dog at my feet and I see two cats. We have too many friggin' pets and the dogs just piss me off most of the time. Tiger Lily loves eating dog shit, especially when it's frozen, so that sucks. A lot. I go scoop it but then they make more and I'm not scooping it up three times a day gods damn it. My awesome wife racked out really early because she doesn't sleep well anymore and that makes me sad. I've been sleeping well lately, but I eat edibles and without those I'd be pwned. AC/DC Dean (cool nickname) came to my birthday party last Saturday and brought me some of his edibles. I usually get them from Andrea, my sister-in-law, but Dean make them the best. Andreas taste better, but Dean's are POTENT. If you eat too much of Dean's edibles you wake up feeling hungover. What a bunch of crap! I ate some of Dean's edible an hour ago so my time being functionally awake is now very limited. Plus I've had a couple drinks so that really means game over soon! I won't wake up hungover, though. I'm not hitting it hard because that's just dumb. We do plan to work a full day tomorrow then I might play racquetball later PM. We still have A LOT to do at that restaurant. Today was good, productive, and I hope the same for tomorrow... Alright turds, all two of you who read this bootleg site, I'm gonna listen to a couple more Pet Shop Boys songs before I rack out with my crack out. If I go to bed now I'll be up at 0500 so I will surf the web a little then shut it down. Goonies never say die! _________________________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday, 12-06-25: Restaurant, garage, winter,
flat tire.
NOOOOOO! I left without even seeing it, but I barely got past the end of the driveway before I realized there was a serious problem. I was able to back into the driveway and back to the house, I looked for a compressor, but there wasn't one since I had jsut taken my second one to the restaurant literally the day prior. What a bunch of crap! I thought maybe I ran over a nail or screw at that garage job, but I don't think so. I can't access my spare tire, that is impossible due to 15 years of rust and wear, so I called AAA and had to wait at home for 1.5 hours before the truck came to deal with it. Thankfully the tire holds air... enough. I need to refill it twice a day and doing that in this weather 100% sucks ass. I'm bringing it to the shop Monday at 1500 so they better fix this bullshit for me. I'm getting sick of putting air in my tires every couple weeks gods damn it. I really just need a newer truck. We closed on the business loan yesterday and spend close to $35,000 in one hour alone hahahaha! Last night my awesome wife ordered a bunch of stuff from Webstaurant and Amazon. She pretty much had the shopping list done and once the funds were in the account it was just a matter of the spending. Blowing that much precious... precious money at once sucks, but it's needed. A new beer fridge was atop the list, but we need all kinds of other stuff. We still don't have a clue when we will be ready to open, but mid-late next month still seems most likely. Could it push into February? I really hope not, but it sure is possible. We don't have unlimited funds so we need to get open before we blow through the available funds. Heat won't be cheap either with January conditions already here a month early and with a lot of the ceiling down. I'm working here:
I decided to raise the insulation above the ceiling tiles so dealing with the tiles is easier and by a lot. A LOT. However, that does add time and it's a bit of a pain in the arse so I'm not sure I can pull it off. Maybe? Hopefully! Having the insulation higher up will really make things great when it's time to replace a tile or two and for wire-management. I'm still putting in time at that huge garage job, but only 17 hours this week due to the restaurant and the truly garbage weather. Here is the larger of the two upstairs rooms:
Not fully sheetrocked yet, but close. The second room needs much more work, but I can finish that in the spring if I get totally jammed up. I do want both upstairs rooms done by next month, but I don't think I can pull that off and do the restaurant at the same time. Plus I have to get ready for tax season and I was just doing some tax training a few minutes ago. I still have to set up the tax office, but that shouldn't take too long maybe only half a day total. The office is going back to where it was for a few years at the restaurant so I've already done it once in the past hahaha.
^The second lower-priority room at that garage job. Can I finish that room this year as well as the office room? Seems unlikely considering how busy we expect to be this month. It can wait until the spring, but getting it done this year or very early next month would be great so that's less I have to deal with in the spring when the restaurant is fully operational and other things will surely come up between now and then. |
