| Somebody acquired 2 of my kids identities.
My auto insurance company notified me that my 2 oldest kids now have state drivers licenses. I have the Lic#'s but not the rest of the record yet. It's played sudden heck with my auto policy.
Neither son has ever applied for a license or permit.
The state License Fraud unit is looking into it. I'm getting ready to pull credit reports on them.
A friend of mine works with Identity Theft Shield. He's having them look into it as well.
As if that weren't enough, the water company shortened my billing cycle without informing me which resulted in my water being turned off until the afternoon.
Those weren't my only challenges since waking up.
I've been having a day.

Re: Friday
What is it that makes grilled food so good? I mean you can cook a burger inside on a stove and it is good, but when you take one off a gas grill it is much better, why? And don't even get me started on if it is a charcoal grill the smoke just gives it such a great taste. But I think smoked pork butt or brisket is my favorite. That smoker was the best $15 we ver spent. |

|  A new Internet scam.
 The latest scam on-line stores are pulling is offering very competitive prices for merchandise, but when the total is calculated you will find that in some cases shipping and handling UPS Ground is more than 50% of the cost of the merchandise for shipping an order weighing two pounds.
Several weeks ago I tried to purchase some cables from an on-line store only to find out that it was going to cost about $45.00 to ship an $80.00 order via UPS Ground. I purchased the merchandise from another vendor where the cost for shipping and handling was only $12.00 to ship the 2 Pound order.
I just tried to purchase some additional handsets for a cordless phone system. The cost of the handsets were $18.00 each. I was going to order 6 for a total cost of $108.00. The cost the vendor quoted for shipping one handset was $7.50, the cost for shipping 6 handsets was $45.00. Another vendor charges $8.00 to ship one handset and $0.75 for each additional handset via UPS Ground. Unfortunately the dealer offering to ship the handsets I need for a reasonable cost does not yet stock the handsets I need.

Re: Friday
Hope so---as soon as this god awful May weather improves. Got a buddy from work coming over on Sunday to clean my gutters---saw water falling directly downward from them this AM. Going to cook him some steak and feed him a 6 pack or two---after the roof stuff is done.  |

That smoker was the best $15 we ver spent. I'm with you. I grew up on charcoal all of my life. We didn't really grill at home too much, but more when we went on vacation. So, that's what I mean about charcoal "all my life". In the last 5 years, I've been using propane, and my intent now is to grill year-round. Propane makes that so easy and convenient. However, nothing can replace the taste of food from a charcoal grill--I plan on picking one up one of these days as well.

No beer before he goes up on the roof. |

|  Beer Tasting at Beer Distributors in NY
I've been drinking beer since I was about 19. When I was young and in college, I drank whatever got me the most for $5. Most of the time this meant a 12-pack of Natural Light/Natural Ice or Milwaukee's Best/Ice ("The Beast"). As time went on, I began to consume less of the bad beers, and a comfortable mix of the good stuff. I distinctly remember trying Samuel Smiths, New Castle, & Guinness Draught for the first time.
I spent most of my young-man days in Delaware, and they have a fine brew company down there called Dogfish. If you're in the area, or not in the area but find Dogfish around, give it a try.
At any rate, I recently moved to an area about 20 minutes away from where I had been living in NY for the past 30 years. I found this great beer distributor---in NY, beer is sold many places (7/11, supermarkets, etc.), but a much better variety of beers can be found at a local beer distributor. Beer distributors essentially sell beer, lotto, ice, and cases of water/snapple/etc.
Recently, I think something changed in NY law where these distributors could get temporary serving licenses. This then enabled local (and some not-so-local) breweries to come up and give free tastings of their offerings. It's only been a few weeks since I've seen this, but every Friday this place about 15 minutes from me has tastings from 4p-8pm. They had Sam Adams a few weeks ago, Dogfish 2 weeks ago, and tonight they had Stone Brewing Company. They are a great brewery out of San Diego, who makes fantastic stuff. I had forgotten how good their IPA and Pale Ale were, and after the tasting, I picked up a six pack of each.
Anyway, it's just such a cool thing if you like beer to have this. I'm shocked that NY allows this--NY sucks for many things (don't even get me started). When I was in college in Delaware, you couldn't even walk into a "package store" if you were under 21. If you opened a beer in there, forget it. You'd be thrown out. Now, here I am, back in NY, legally drinking beer inside a beer store. Go figure!

I'd go on my lower roof above the garage, but I'm not going all the way up top. So, I'll flip him some $, and make him lunch and call it a day.
Yeah I told him already, no beer or steak until he's done. He's a younger guy (26). Love's a party, as do I, but this is serious shit, and I take it seriously. I don't need him falling off my roof, and I doubt he'd like it too much either.

Watch out for the 90 minute IPA, it'll knock yer socks off.
I've been there a few times. I live just north of the DE state line, and beach in Rehoboth and OCMD a few times a year.
This area is blessed with a plethora of brew pubs. Another one close by is Victory.
»www.victorybeer.com/home.html
Good beer, and a cool place to visit. Anyone near either one of these fine establishments should check them out....

| Any Dave Matthews Band Fans in the House?
If you are a fan and aren't aware of it already, or if you aren't a fan but a curious spectator, the Dave Matthews Band will be on Sirius Ch 17 and XM Ch 56 from 6/1 through 6/7. Each of those nights at 9PM, they will play a different pre-recorded show. (DMB encourages audience recording and trading of their shows. See sites like The Dreaming Tree for more information on that.
In addition, on 6/1/09 DMB will broadcast a live show from the Beacon Theater in NYC. Catch it on Hulu, or if you prefer TV, it'll be on The Fuse channel who will also broadcast it live.
I've been following these guys since ~1992 from Charlottsville, VA all the way to their biggest stadiums. I had nice "moment" with myself when I saw them a few years ago at MSG playing to a packed house, when in 1993 I saw them play at a 200 person bar in a small town called Newark, DE. Anyway, even if you don't know them, or think you don't like them but you have nothing to do on a Monday night, why not tune in.
