Hello? Could We Have Some Heat?

Is it ever going to get warm here in Bagwine, Ohio?

Yesterday I worked all day and it was in the 20’s with 30 mph winds.

Damn it was cold…

As you can tell from the picture below, I even wore my vest. As I rarely wear a coat, that means it was cold.

If you look closely into the cigarette case over my left (your right) shoulder, you can see that I had a helper yesterday.




Damn straight, Jeebus was watching over me. And by the way…Jeebus smokes Basic Full Flavor just like me.

He is truly a man of the people.

I walked a little closer to the camera after the shot above, and look what happened…


Yep, Jeebus popped up through my vest to put his mug in the picture. He is such a ham…Ooops…

Sorry ‘bout the ham reference, King of the Jews…Didn’t mean to put your Jewishness into question.

Anyhoo, it’s as though Jeebus popped right out of my soul. It is good to have a friend in Jeebus.

Well, after work, Jeebus and I headed home and tried to shake the cold from our bones.

I had a couple of beers and then warmed my heart by decorating our Year-Long Holiday Tree for the month of March.

As I did last month, I shot a short video of the tree for your enjoyment.

I hope you like it.

Happy March to all of you. I’m going to spend the first Monday of this month freezing my boys off at work this evening.

C’mon Mother Nature…Bring on da Heat!!

Cheers!!

My neighbors must be doing that year round holiday thing with the lights on their garage;-)

Schmoop said...

TB: Ha. That is sooooooo gauche. Have a little couth people and keep your celebratory lights indoors. For God's sake. Cheers Sexy!!

Dianne said...

we got a butt load of snow overnight and it's about 20 something out there this morn - oy!

big birthday month!!

Schmoop said...

Dianne: Yeah I see you guys are getting pounded out on the east coast. I have a question...

Is the snow out your way white and pretty like what we get in Ohio, or is yours gray, dingey, and interlaced with rats? Just askin'. Cheers Di!!

Schmoop said...

Phfrankie: Whoa, whoa, whoa, mister. Are you saying they didn't? Cheers P-Man!!

Are you sure you're not a Heathen at heart? We have a tree for everything! I prefer Marlboro reds if I can...

Schmoop said...

Sam: Heathen? Maybe so. And I say unto you, "Is that so wrong?" Reds are okay, but man, Basics pack so damn well. I do love them so. Cheers Sam!!

It snowed here on Saturday, but it all melted off Sunday. That's the way is should always be. Gone in 24 hours and never stick to the roads.

Schmoop said...

Jay: I like winter and a good snow, but I am ready to move on now. Give me some heat, or give me death. Cheers!!

Cheesy said...

A true arteeeest!

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: I'm a regular Matt-de-angelo. Cheers Cheesy!!

I think "Beware the Ides!!" takes on new meaning for folks living in the Midwest - seems like it always snows or sleets on that day and keeps us all freezing our asses off! lol

Oh, BTW...I was going through a stack of stuff during my 'spring cleaning' and came across a post-it note I wrote, oh....at least a year ago...saying that I owed you a picture of Touchdown Jesus. I swear, that will be coming to you SOON!!! Oy...am I a slacker or WHAT???? :-)

Schmoop said...

Giggle: Ha. Don't fret about that. I feel your pain of procrastination and/or forgetting things. You don't owe me a damn thing ya sweet goof, you. Cheers GP!!

Ken said...

It snowed all around us, but the valley had nothing but butt ass cold. Still do, and I want it to GO AWAY!

Schmoop said...

Micky: It sucks, no? Got down to 10 here last night with wind chill around 5 below. This blows. Cheers Mick!!

Phfrankie Bondo said...

...I meant 'gilded'...canst thou ever forgiveth me?

Schmoop said...

Phfrankie: Oh, okay. It is done. Cheers!!

Southern (in)Sanity said...

Schmoop said...

I am crushed beyond all belief. I don't believe you put an ornament on the tree for my birthday in January.
