Hi,
This is the last weekend of the Pittsburgh Grand Prix, the premier event is scheduled Sunday the race through Schenley Park. Be sure to keep yourself hydrated if you attend or even if you don’t this weekend, it’s going to be brutal. And I like their charities Autism Society of Pittsburgh and Merakey Allegheny Valley School.
You’ve heard of the Whiskey Rebellion, the Boxer Rebellion and others. I’m letting you know there going to be another famous rebellion that i have just created, the Ed Rebellion. I started throwing away all the things the Pittsburgh recycling manager did not want to be bothered with and decided if he doesn’t want to deal with figuring out a solution, instead of me throw them in the trash he can do that. 🙂 My recycling bags were filled with the hard plastic packing shells and plastic bottle caps (I did remove them from the plastic bottles because someone pointed out to me that when going through the rollers the caps can shoot off like a bullet.
Official notice to those of you that used to have my iPhone number, it no longer exists. I moved my flip phone number, which I love to my iPhone. So 412-552-0123 no longer reaches me. I moved my cell 412-508-6000 to my iPhone and got rid of the flip phone. It’s been a month and my left front pocket still feels naked. ): Alright Dave & Claire, it’s official. 🙂
I was in an accident a month ago. Some stupid lady opened her drivers side door without looking in her mirror to see if traffic was coming down the street and she caused some significant damage to my passenger side. I took it to get it repaired this morning and opted on my way back with the rental car to take the “road less traveled” and came down through Coraopolis and McKees Rocks. Grimes Interiors is located in McKees Rocks and when I saw it, pulled over to check out the store. Dwayne was in the shop (the first time I’ve seen him in years). We chatted for a good bit, he’s over stocked with furniture. If you are in the market for antiques take a look at these pictures, particularly if you take several pieces, I’m sure he’d work you a deal.
When I bought the property I turned into The Parador Inn of Pittsburgh, I bought a lot of antiques from the previous owner in a separate chattel agreement. I hired Grime’s Interiors to do some repairs on a number of pieces. One of the things I wanted them to do was the spectacular bedroom set in Allamanda someone had made the bed into a California queen (longer that your standard queen), so I told him I want new side rails making it fit a standard sized queen box springs and mattress. Which was no problem. One of the round knobs was missing off the foot board. My suggestion was to take them off the matching armorie in Allamanda’s living room and just put something roundish out there. He said no, they would make a match, which is this first picture. The first picture shows the knob Dwayne’s crew made. The second picture is a full view of the bed I’ve had wood carvers in that tried to find the flaw and no one ever has. The third picture is the armorie in the living room with the original roundy things still attached.
The federal government is projecting an 363 foot image of the Apollo 11 rocket that took Neil Armstrong to the moon on the Washington Monument remembering the 50th anniversary of the first human landing on the moon. And Neil Armstrong “that’s one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind.” It’s worth following my link to see it, it’s pretty cool.
Queen with Adam Lambert are performing at PPG Paints Arena July 31. Be sure to get your tickets and and book your room at The Parador Inn. Remember you can’t beat my price, park for free, ride the “T” both to the concert and from the concert. And have a wonderful breakfast in the morning to start your day.
That’s it for today, as I said earlier be sure to stay hydrated, way before you feel thirsty,
