Yesterday I picked up our new glasses from Lenscrafters, Barb’s glasses look good and she likes them. Excited to have her first pair of prescription glasses .

I was not quite so lucky, mine gave me vertigo so I went back to the shop to see what they can do for me. After having being examined once more the prescription being correct it must come down to the material. Got an upgrade to a different material and paid %50 of the upgrade cost…. I sure hope they will turn out

Here is the first posting in TooPicky Cuisine, one of our favorite meals.  The recipe will follow, and I hope any of you who try it like it as much as we do… enjoy!

Left early in the morning for the annual swapmeet at bigskyhobby in Eagan. Sold only one of my things and now have some but not enough $$ burning a hole in my pocket.

Got myself one of these !!!

A Parkzone Vapor BNF.

Watching Hoarders on A&E TV and holy crap these people need to just take a chillpill now and then. They go thru trash thinking that they need to save some shit. Tonight there are folks who are loosing their houses and relationships all because they cant throw their crap away. It’s just sad. They really need help but they really need to want to be helped.

What just blows me away is that there are so many people that have this problem and even more that they are willing to display it on TV!!!

It had to happen sooner or later. My combat plane came down in a real hurry straight down into hard packed dirt. The wing is fine… fuse is bent and the engine and carb are now packed with dirt! Pressure nipple for muffler is gone and so are 3 servos and wing saddle. Nothing left but debris from my receiver…

I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

This category on TooPicky will soon become a food blog.  I am trying out new recipes and Miikka is trying new techniques on photographing food.  We shall soon see what becomes of it… 

Ok, so I told Miikka another customer story last night and he says I should start putting these stories here, so here goes with customer story #2…

This customer is a man in his mid 50’s who has just retired from a rather physical job.  But still being relatively young and used to being busy he decided to look for a part time job to fill his time.  A buddy of his has a sister who runs a liquor store and tells him she is looking for help.  He thinks of it as he’s driving near the store and calls her on his cell phone.  She asks him where he’s at, could he come and interview right then.  He tells her he is near the store, but not dressed for an interview.  She doesn’t care.  Now this guy is not a small man… not fat, but on the plump side.  He shows up at the store to find his buddy’s sister “makes a toothpick look like a log”.  The old t-shirt he has on?  It says, “I beat anorexia.”

He is still waiting to be called, lol.

I absolutely LOVE my customers!!  My first customer today had me laughing so hard, I have to redo my eye makeup because I cried it all off from laughing so hard.  She is a pilot from Northwest Airlines, now Delta.  After their merge the computer system is different, of course, and she was having some trouble logging in and it locked her out.  So she called the helpline, who asked her, “Don’t you fly 747’s?”  In other words, how can you fly a big plane and not do something simple on the computer?  ROFLOL!

The same customer was at the family cabin this past weekend and noticed no one was sitting with or talking to her mother-in-law, who can be somewhat crabby.  So she very nicely goes and sits with her, trying to strike up a conversation, to which her mother-in-law replies, “What?  I can’t hear you when you talk like a chipmunk.”  Again, ROFLOL!

I told her I would take the BE MEAN TO ME sign off her back, lol.  Anyway, this is my first customer today… more to come!
