Friday is our pizza night, usually. It looks like we will be having our first winter storm this weekend. The entree will change to Stew, Vegetable Beef soup, Jambalaya, or Chili. Another good night to sit by the fire.

Pork chops, those small canned potatoes, and a salad for us.

Currently 10 with a -3 WC. Snow is supposed to start shortly ::)

It ain't gonna be in the top three but it was right good. I'll know what ta do next time. She's lettin' another bowl full cool down now. 'Nuff'll be left for a couple lunches.



As usual gonna be lookin' at an early start tomorrow. Federal jury duty comin'. Went thru clothes today. Got one dress shirt that fits. Good on on slacks. Belt has one notch left over. Got a new pair of elastic suspenders still in the package. Brushed the dust off a pair of dress shoes, feel okay. Got the tie right the first time. Herringbone jacket'll be good, ain't gotta button it. If I did it could be a problem. Bought the overcoat a bit big 'n it fits fine. Go to Sam's tomorrow for dope. Pick up a couple shirts while I'm there. Might hafta go to a funeral or somethin' sometime.

Couple hunks of cheese then it's rack time.

Did a Federal call up once long time ago , wasn't seated though....
 Civil on the other hand , seemed like they had me on a Rolodex , they'd summon me for duty in Nov-Dec.
every year for about 6 years running....
They have skipped over me now a coupla years.

Dress wise, they get what I got "shirt sleeves"  , aside from my 19th century Frock , no dress coat  ::) and no suit either
 , unless I count the Black  Leather blazer ...
 read "My Cousin Vinny "  ;)

 Judge Chamberlain Haller: What are you wearing?
Vinny Gambini: Huh?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: What are you wearing?
Vinny Gambini: [wearing a black leather jacket] Um... I'm wearing clothes.
[the Judge angrily stares ominously at Vinny]
Vinny Gambini: I... I don't get the question.
Judge Chamberlain Haller: When you come into my court looking like you do, you not only insult me, but you insult the integrity of this court!
Vinny Gambini: I apologise, sir, but, uh... this is how I dress.
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Fine. I'll let you off this one time. The next time you appear in my court, you will look lawyerly. And I mean you comb your hair, and wear a suit and tie. And that suit had better be made out of some sort of... cloth. You understand me?
Vinny Gambini: [not comprehending] Uh... yes. Fine, Judge, fine.   ;D

Mornin', y'all.

L'il warmer taday. Should be back ta normal by Sunday.

“Appropriate attire for jurors is clothing which would be worn for a personal business meeting (no blue jeans, shorts, or T-shirts.)”

That's kinda broad. Guess I have ta satisfy me. A few on the jury in a capital murder trial (Barnabei) some years ago were kinda disgustin'.

Might show the defense I'm ready ta hang their client 'n set me free. Never did have ta go to court for the commonwealth. Hope I ain't gotta do nothin' but check daily on this fed thing.

Make my runs, spend money 'n take a l'il time tryin' find a bird bearin' construction materials.

That'd leave me with a problem-all I have is jeans. I even got married in jeans! My best pair, at the time. Guess I have some 19th century type stuff, but it's still the 19th century version of work clothes.

That's my issue too... I have Jeans & Chino's , casual button down shirts & my 19th Century stuff which is my Sunday go to meeting NCOWS convention stuff.

Truth be known, I'm NOT fond of the jury selection process, The county (historically) has it as about distasteful as the little security natzi could make it.... what with 0 parking available, had to be at a parking location @ 7 AM to be bused  to the court house by 7:30 for an 8: AM court time  ...
Basically striped searched , remove shoes, belt , all items in pockets, and wanded....
Marched to holding room

If you were released, you were on you own to get back to your parked car , some 7 miles away ! Or a 15 min. video was presented , on why you should be GLAD to serve  ::)  all the time you lose a day's pay or more and
get $15 a day , paid in about 6 weeks hence.
If you do have to stay beyond lunch , you can't leave, and they have a cold packaged sandwich machine, with those wedge packaged white bread crap, who knows how old ? !

No I'm not a fan...nor a happy camper... perhaps more inclined to hang someone....

Add that to the idea I have to go buy a dress jacket or suit just for them ! ....  ::)  negative !

All I have is my 19th century clothes, could wear the frock, Terry did that a few years ago and got picked.   ;D

Course a few years ago I sold such an outfit to a county PA out west along I-80, said he needed a flash and awe outfit for when the caught a drug runner and he brought in a city slicker lawyer, said it messed up those fancy pants to have to look at him.   ;)

On the 'broad' note, consider the fella was out here yestitty puttin' flyers on doors for yard werk. The ole boy needs a new piece of equipment. Ain't thinkin' he's goin' ta Land 'n Coates ta negotiate a deal onna used zero-turn wearin' a jacket, starched shirt, slacks 'n a tie. It's sure as heck a business meetin'. He's gonna be in work clothes. That, in 'n of itsownself, is equally broad cuz when I was workin' I had ta be wearin' a jacket, slacks 'n a tie. I could get by without the starched shirt if I wanted. Just long's as it had all the buttons 'n didn't look like I slept in it. The stuff was 'work clothes.'

Fed is $40.00 a day, 56¢ a mile round trip – 'bout $17.00, any 'n all tolls paid – don't apply ta me - 'n $13.00 a trip for parkin' what's 'cross the street from the court buildin'. The buildin's the one ya see on the news when they're perp-walkin' a pirate ta the transport vehicle for a ride to their new home. Same one I was in when I was sued for $3 million.

Werse part's the travel. The gun shop is 746 Granby, the court 600 Granby. When I quit my office was at Brooke 'n Granby or what might as well be 200 Granby. I leave for the shop when I go 'bout 0930. Gotta be in court at 0900. The traffic at that hour is fully 50% of why I quit. Werse now than it was then.

Ennyways....

Got a couple serviceable shirts it Sam's < $25.00. Didn't see a bird. Last of the Vegetable Beef Soup's went away for lunch. Ain't sure it was 'nuff. Thinkin' on some Chicken Orzo for desert. Decide when the bottle of O'Doul's is empty.

I got the call about an hour ago I've been dreading, Steve Summers aka Stu Kettle passed away this morning.   It looks like the funeral will be Wed afternoon, Pitspiter and I are planning on going to represent The Grand Army of the Frontier.

Pass my condolences to the family too, Del. I'll be praying for their strength and comfort.
