Brrrrr! It's getting colder out there. And I don't think it's just the cold shoulder I'm getting from some of my fellow banterers. Join in this discussion and perhaps learn something about cigars along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either. If you can accept all that, light a cigar, pour your favorite libation, and welcome aboard!

Old Duck
-------------------------
A man took his old duck to the Doctor, concerned because the
duck wouldn't eat.
The Doctor explained to the man that as ducks age their
upper bills grow down over their lower bills and make it
difficult for the animal to pick up it's food.
"What you need to do is gently file the upper bill down even
with the lower bill. But you must be extra careful because
the duck's nostrils are located in the upper bill and if
you file down too far, when the duck takes a drink of water
it'll drown."
The man goes about his business and about a week later the
Doctor runs into his patient.
"Well, how is that duck of yours?" the Doctor inquires.
"He's dead." declared the heartbroken man.
"I told you not to file his upper bill down too far! He took
a drink of water and drowned didn't he?" insisted the
Doctor.
"No." lamented the man. "I think he was dead before I took
him out of the vise."

Unfortunate that one of the very few decent games of the final Bowl weekend was on in the middle of the night between two Unranked ho-hum teams and probably watched by few. Not to speak of the 3rd rate name of the bowl ::)

LOL, me either as I did not even make the end of the triple overtime Oregon-TCU game! I mean, how stupid was it to start a game at 10:30 Eastern Time? Guess it was for those staying at the Motel 6!

I wish I had a pu$$y!
A girl probably 30 years old and not even attractive to me (Dean Material ;)) moved in across the street a few months ago and there are 3 different men that drop by and say spend the night there (one at a time) about once every week or two and while there they mow the yard, fix crap and take care of the various household chores. One this weekend put up all her Christmas lights a few weeks ago and is taking them all down this weekend. Amazing!
-

Yeah, nobody won last night and it is a whopper! You could go to the game on a netjet and take a nice young squeeze or two with you.

Simple Solution - Figure it out later!
Clemson Fans are getting ready to see the Tigers face off against the Crimson Tide in the 2016 College Football Playoff Championship, but that comes with a price.
"It's one of those things where it's a once in a lifetime thing, so I'll put it on a credit card and figure out a way to pay it off a little later," says Clemson alum, David Whitley.
The good news is there's still time for you to get tickets but it's going to cost you. The cheapest tickets are going for $600, but if you're looking for a better view expect to pay up to $7,500.

Not a problem for a high stepper like you Dave. I am sure your airline miles could cover your airfare but 10,000 to see a game would be kind of tough for most.

Haven't been around here in FOREVER! Metered connection at work. No internet in the closet I live in. But this morning I watched the sunrise over Vegas. Well it's a bit cloudy today. Nice colors though. Lots of work to do here. No time to stop and play. But no restrictions on net access either. So I hope all you BOtL are doing well. Happy Friggin' New Year! Now shake it off and get back to work! :)

P.O.S. NO'gunner will have a live town hall focusing on unconstitutional gun control on CNN on Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern.
NO'Gunner and CNN's Commie Anderson Cooper will appear on the program titled "Confiscate Guns in America" and take questions from a staged phony live audience, according to CNN.
NO'gunner plans to meet with his puppet, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, on Monday to discuss the issue and is expected to announce another illegal executive action to expand background checks on gun sales.
The town hall will be held on the fifth anniversary of the shooting of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords during a public appearance in which six people were killed and 13 wounded.

Exactly where this one came from, probably been in the humi 10-12 years or more but it was very good. Never know though new one might be a totally different cigar.

The warden expanded it into the 1/2 bath downstairs. But you know how it goes, can't make a move with getting approval on every little thing. Got company coming in a week, so now the push is on.

2x4 is pretty heavy but just build the frame on the ground then attach molding from the rear so no holes to fill and set the entire assembly in place is the easiest way.

Good advice. I'll need some smaller profile framing material for that. Something soft which won't spilt on me.

Ahhh, crown molding. That will test a man
Indeed. Wall cabinets aren't really designed for it, either. 
Right, usually have to add some 5/4 spruce to the top of the cabinets, attaching through the top style
I cut some 2x4 pieces from what I have on hand for that purpose. We'll see, might be too big. 3, 2, 1.....
2x4 is pretty heavy but just build the frame on the ground then attach molding from the rear so no holes to fill and set the entire assembly in place is the easiest way.
I watched a YouTube video. The guy had a pneumatic brad nailer, made it look pretty easy. Am not about to purchase that setup for this one job.
I got one if you want to use it.
Thanks for the offer. I'll try framing them up on the bench first. Will post a picture if it turns out well. 
Put on your cussing hat and go for it! Not that hard if you do it all on the bench and make it fit then attach the crown and set it in place. I would not attempt it with 2x4's though. They would hurt bad when the warden does not like it and whacks you.

Afternoon boys. Really pleasant out today. MoW LD lit, with water. Taking a break from the f'n bathroom project.
Afternoon Bean, I thought you were finished with that project.
Not quite. Real close, but have to order a towel bar, and the warden still wants crown molding on top of the cabinets. A PITA which I've been putting off.

Indeed. She's pretty picky about fit and finish, though woe is me if I criticize her painting job!

Little Devil is nubbed, and it's starting to get chilly out here. Heading in. Catch up with you tomorrow.

House cleaning for the Cleveland Browns!
The Cleveland Browns fired head coach Mike Pettine following the conclusion of a 3-13 season.
General manager Ray Farmer was also fired in what is apparently a complete rebuilding of the Browns' football operations.

Well if that's the way he decides I would take some cardboard and lay it on top of the cabs and trace a template, this way you have a change to combat the squareness issues

Several ways to deal with it but best way would depend on how the top of the cabinets are built. Cheapo Beano should have bought better cabinets ;D

Square ones cost extra, cutting into an already cheapo cigar budget 😄

Almost time to go to work. Guess I need to get ready. I'll try and drop in later. Just a warning. Figure it's only fair.

Boogity! Just a friendly revenant! Howdy CB! You doin' alright my friend? Hiya B'soTL!

I'm going to be pretty busy while I'm here, but I think I should at least try to go to Casa Fuente. Probly end up spending a stupid amount of money for a stick and a drink, but maybe they'll have something special. This could be the last time I get to haunt the strip. What the hell.

Well since I'm on pretty much a reverse schedule here, I guess it's time for bed. Gotta get up and head to work before the casino rats start their march back to bed. Maybe things will get crazy later on this week. G'nite folks!
