Grainger Industrial Supply just launched their new website! Quite impressive: cleaner, well organized, easier to use and find what you need. Check it out:

Grainger.com

This quite possibly could be the best website in the Industrial Supply / MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) space!

Carpe Diem, Carpe Nocturne: I once heard a man say that. These are words to live by. Seize the day, seize the night. More often than not, I find myself living this motto. Then I saw the picture below. The picture read:

“Tomorrow is not promised to anyone”.

This post is dedicated to my Uncle Clem, Walter and all my friends, family and loved ones. Go ahead, live in the moment, seize the day and night. Carpe Diem, Carpe Nocturne.

Was over in Marblehead, MA with the cousins. Went to Castle Rock. Marblehead is very old school New England. Castle Rock is a set of cliffs right next to the castle. The cousins and I (minus Mike, Melinda n Kevin) snapped the album cover…. Great afternoon!

Train ride from newton to Boston, headed downtown to see the government mule show. Hanging out with the cousins. Might walk the freedom trail. Ahhhh, Bahhhhston!!!!

Nothing beats a day at wrigley field. The sun is shining, the ivy is green, and the cubbies are in mid-fall form. All in all, wrigley field may just be the best ballpark in the majors!!!!

Well I’ve seen quite a few things in my day, but I done seen bout everything after I saw the Chicago Cubs Garden Gnome. Granted, I have seen the Garden Gnome in other varieties of MLB teams, but the Cubs Garden Gnome tops the charts. If I had a garden, I would have this Gnome proudly displayed there. However, since I do not have a garden, it would be difficult to display my garden gnome. And, it might be especially risky since it would be such a hot item. The Chicago Cubs Garden Gnome is quite the novelty!

We can share the women we can share the WINE!!!! If you follow my drift, then you know when the sun is so hot the EAGLES FILLED THE SKY. One of the most interesting things I noticed down Mexico way was those Mexican Eagles. Couldn’t believe how many were around. Very cool sight. And, when they started dive bombin those pelicans and friggate birds, man, that’s some stuff…. I wanna party with those birds. Mexican Eagles…. check ‘em out.

The Mexican Eagle owns the sky.
