Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday

Eagles won!!! so they need to win this week and need a vikings loss.  not sure if they will get in or not, but at least they are keeping it interesting. 

So I have tried one of the new Vapes that just came in.  It is called the cube, I like it a lot.  perfect for at home.  Although I think it is a little to big to take out.


I haven't been doing too much more lately.  I have surgery on my leg coming up and hope I will be out and about a lot more once it is done

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone.  The Eagles won this past weekend.  At this point we need to win out and the Vikings to lose 1 game.  So we still have a shot.
Saturday night was fun.  I went to the Valley Tavern and Center bar at VF casino.  Didn't win any money but got great drinks and service.  and was there with fun company.  can't ask for much more than that.

I have been laying pretty low this week other than that.  I had to reschedule a surgery on my leg because I got an infection in my mouth.  so crazy.  I also have 2 new vapes due in this week which I will be testing and posting my opinion on.

Twitter is getting on my nerves, they keep deleting my followers and I am not sure why.

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone.  Eagles lost to Dallas in overtime which was very disappointing to me.  So their playoff hopes are pretty shot.  Always a chance but not looking good.

I am all ready for Christmas, my tree is up and my shopping, well I always wait until last minute for that.
Not much going on the last week.  Tonight I have a party to goto so I will have some new pics from that.

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone.  This has been a pretty good week.  Eagles won...go birds.  Unfortunately Dallas won last week so we need to kick their asses this week to get in a tie for first.
My cane is working out great.  Its as if I am starting a collection.  I will be very happy when I can stop using one.  It does make it tough getting around sometimes.

Been using the AirPods another week.  they are great except just not secure enough in the ears. 

I have been cooking in the crock pot more, trying to eat healthier.  its going really well.  I have also been walking much more and am going to the gym more.  My plan is to get healthier and be around a very long time.

I did get a folding poker table in.  I will be taking pics of it and doing a review next week.

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday

So the Eagles finally won again.  which makes them 1 game out of first.  Hoping Dallas loses tonight and the Eagles win Monday night against Washington.  They would then be in a 3 way tie for first in the East and be in complete control of their own destiny.

Last week was Thanksgiving, my one daughter custom painted a cane for me.  If I am going to be using a cane for a while might as well have Happy Thursday painted on it.

I have been trying the Apple Airpods.  I am happy to say they work great.  Had no issues connecting to all my apple devices, sound great and a good battery life.  Not as secure in my ears as some other ones but really nice regardless.

Happy Thursday and Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thursday and Happy Thanksgiving

Eagles lost again this past weekend, well got killed.  I don't mind them losing, but hate the way they just gave up during the game.  Give it your all and I would be happy win or lose.

I got a new set of earbuds to try out.  They are air-pod knock offs and are horrible. they are too big, sound awful and break fast.
I will be testing out the air-pods this coming week

Happy Thursday

Its another week which was a fairly uneventful one.  Eagles lost last weekend which was extremely disappointing, especially since like all true Eagles fans I hate the Cowboys.  This weekend is the Saints which will be a very hard game, but I am thinking they will win it. 
I am receiving some new headphones this week so I will be reviewing them and let you know what I think.

Happy Thursday

It's Thursday again, Happy Thursday. 

Unlike last week, I figured I would post early.  Last week wound up missing Thursday's post due to the fact went out to lunch, then drinks and next thing I knew it was Friday.

Eagles Play Sunday night which should be a great game against the hated Cowgirls


I have also been using the new vape pen that came in.  Love it, doesn't leak at all.  Has a great draw and makes you feel really good.  Well depending on what you put in it.
Next I will need to make some more eLiquid, any suggestions on flavors?

Happy Thursday

There is no Eagles this weekend which sucks for me, but I guess good for the players to get healthy.  Thursday was a fun day.  Started off at Phils Tavern, best pickles out there.  Great service as always.  It is a normal go to for lunch.  Then went to New Valley Tavern. 
Great time there. Great service from Jess the bartender.  Never disappointed.  Most likely played a few too many songs on their touch tunes, but that is what it is there for.
 When I got home there was a package with some new vape pens.  I opened this one yesterday and love it.  Its a ODIN, holds 1.5ml, no buttons to push just works.  For those that know me, I mix my own flavors and really tastes great in here.  No burnt tast that you get sometimes with the larger vapes.  I will be reviewing the others that I got over the coming weeks.

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday, This has been another fun week.  I had my youngest daughter at my place for the weekend.  And when my Ex picked her up, she brought a present for me back from my middle daughter.  A new Painting.
My Eagles lost on Sunday after blowing a 17 point lead going into the 4th Quarter.  Sixers have been playing so-so.  Haven't heard to much about the Flyers. But I will always support my Philly teams.

Had some people over for drinks, missed my Chicago trip since I had my daughter until later than anticipated.  I would cancel any trip any time for my kids though.  Now I need to get out there and try some new electronic products.  Hit some Bars and Casino's and have a great time.

Happy Thursday

This has been a good week so far.  Wound up going to VF Casino Friday night, where I went to 2 different bars.  First was the Valley Tavern for Karaoke.  Was a great time.  I actually sung but that might have been a result of the drinks.  Dave and Brian are the bartenders and they are great.  My glass was never empty and they made sure I could get around fine, even stored my cane behind the bar.  Cisco Kid runs the Karaoke part and it was great.
After that was over went down to center bar.  Frank is also a great bartender and made sure all were having a good time.  Then went on to play PiaGow, which is always fun.

I also made buffalo chicken dip for watching football over the weekend.  Turned out great.   Made it in a crock pot which I never tried before but turned out wonderful.
I have also been watching twitter a lot and all this political stuff is just funny at this point.  Everyone has their beliefs and sticks to them.  Only issue is most people won't let other opinions in.
Had to just love this pic.

Next week is Chicago and the Black Hat conference.  so looking forward to going and hanging out with other Network Security Pros.

Happy Thursday everyone.  Not much has happened since my last post, although the Eagles are playing tonight...Go Birds
This is also Cybersecurity Awareness Month.  I am due to go to Chicago towards the end of the month for the Black-hat Conference.  Which means a road trip both ways and trying out all new spots.  Will be fun to report on all of it.

Weekend is over

The weekend is now over.  The Eagles lost and at home which really sucks.  They looked horrible in the first half.  Turned it around in the second, but turnovers and penalties just destroyed them.  Defense didn't do that bad, but come on guys what is with the 10 yard cushion on every play.  The offense can't seem to not turn the ball over.  And the play calling, we need to run the ball.   Speaking of balls, if your down by 6 try for the 3 even at 58 yard.  trust the defense to hold and get the ball back with some time.

Fun Weekend so far

This weekend has been fun so far.  Friday my oldest son came over for some help getting his passport.  We got everything done, then went and had a drink and some lunch at D&B Plymouth meeting.
I hadn't been there in a while and it was nice to be back.  Service and food were great.  I realize now I need to start taking pics of the food to show everyone. 

Now it is time to start getting ready for some football.  Going to make some buffalo chicken dip, which I have never made, so lets see how that goes.

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone.  Not sure why my blog post took so long to show up, but figured I would edit it and put this at the beginning.  This week have been a fun week.  I have checked out some newer SIEM (Security Information Event Management) technology from LogRhythm.
I went to dinner at Redstone, which is always a fun place.  Great food, great service from the bartender.  Drinks were always flowing.  I would recommend for anyone to go there.  Best Buffalo Shrimp ever.


So just a fun week.  I will be posting a couple times over the next few days and then as always Thursday update.  May even get a little political to shake things up.

Game Day

I wanted to start off by saying lets go birds.

I would have love to go watch the game live but flying just isn't an option for my right now with my bad leg.

Weekend has been good so far, but wanted to give an update on the X5 headphones.
They sound and fit great.  Charging case sucks.  really need to plug the in to charge and can see the piece that you hook into your ear is going to get messed up as it bends every time you charge.  I would not add these to the list of headphones I would recommend.

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday Everyone.

Most of last weekend sucked.  Was Sick Friday and Saturday which is never fun, but then The EAGLES played and won on Sunday which made everything much better.

Then the week started.  I had some appointments which all went as expected.  Tuesday Went the Phils Tavern again for lunch.  Service and food were great, which I kind of expect by now.  I had the grilled cheese with bacon and it was bangin.  Also have to mention how good their pickles are, just the right amount of spice. 

I also got a new pair of Bluetooth headphones this week, the truely wireless earbuds X5.  Anyone who knows me knows that I love trying out new headphones but it takes a lot to satisfy what I want.
So far they have great sound and just as important great fit, I am able to move around without them coming out.  They only thing I am not so sure about is the charging case.  I am confused if the connection is good or not when I put them in there.  I guess I will need to use them for another week or see to see if they are all they are cracked up to be.

I also got the new iPhone XS and the iWatch 4.  I went with the XS instead of XS-Max due to the size.  I just like a smaller phone better.  I did get the 512g though, not that I am using anywhere close to the that much storage.   Took me until Monday to unbox them and swith to them.  I was using the iPhone X and iWatch 3. 
not really noticing any difference on the phone except for its a pain in the ass to re-enter all my password, not to mention all the 2-factor stuff.  The watch is much nicer.  The edge to edge screen makes reading it so much easier and all the updates are great.  I will start posting more reviews of electronics I get and places I go.  I know a lot of people so that on youtube channels, but I will be doing it all here.

Happy Thursday

It's Thursday again, so time to post.  Did some fun things since my last post, but need to start off by saying I was extremely disappointed the Eagles lost.  But life goes on.  My week was interesting, seems to be a time for blasts from the past.  I have someone who moved back to the are from NC who came over on Monday night.  was great seeing them and I am sure will be seeing more of them.  Tuesday night had a different friend stop over, had a few drinks and relaxed.  Yesterday went out to lunch at Phil's Tavern.  They portions there are big and the food and drinks never disappoint.  The bartender was great as he usually is.
Wednesday night, had a nice dinner with another blast from the past at my place.  So now we get to today.  Not sure what will be happening today yet.  I do know Football is tonight so some people will be at my place watching and will be making some brownies, really is starting to be a Thursday tradition.

I have my daughter coming over tomorrow until Saturday evening which is always fun.

Eagles Play Today and fun few days

I wanted to start by saying Fly Eagles Fly.  Lets go out and start the season 2-0.  I am looking for the whole team to be back from injuries but that isn't happening this week.  But as we proved in the SuperBowl, we have what it takes.

After I posted Thursday, had a friend come over to help make brownies while watching the game.
They came out really good.  I do need help when it comes to cooking anything.  It is just one of those things I am really bad at.  But that makes me eat out a lot and I will be posting reviews of everywhere I go. 

Friday was a pretty uneventful day, which had me wind up at the Valley Tavern at the Radison in Valley Forge.  They have Karaoke there on Friday nights which is always fun to see. Bartenders Dave and Brian are great.  Never leave you empty and make sure you are having a good time.  Managers and everyone that works there just make it great.

It’s Thursday so time to post.  Last week was opening football weekend which was fun.  It has been a pretty busy week.  I am very excited about the new Apple devices, time to preorder so I get everything on the first day. Just deciding which phone to get. Not sure I want to go with the max, might be too big.  Well I will post with what is decided.  I also went to VF casino for a night, was fun bartenders are great.  Was good to be up and around.

Eagles win. Happy Thursday

Eagles Won Thursday night 18 - 12 over the Falcons.  All the "experts" we picking the Falcons, but we all know what happens when you act like the eagles won't win.

I wound up having a few people over my place to watch the game.  Turned into a pretty good time although took me until now to fully recover.  I am starting to realize this bad leg is going to make things difficult for a while longer.  But I am getting better and I will get better regardless of any setbacks.

My daughter is over for tonight but just the one night this weekend.  So may just have to hit the casino tonight (VF Casino) .  Lots has been changing there so we will see how my review of the bars and restaurant goes.  Then next week it is back to the gym and try to get healthy. 

Happy Thursday

And It Begins, Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone.  I was going to go into this big thing about what this blog would be all about, but decided to just let it flow and based on comments, feelings and mood at the moment.  I won't get too long winded on the first post since the Eagles are on tonight, need to pregame.  Go Eagles.


This has been an interesting week.  Start of School for kids, I started eating healthier, not sure how long that will last but needed to at least try, started to work out again and for whatever reason several old friends have reached out to me for no apparent reason.  I haven't been out to eat or gamble this week, but will surely post reviews and pics when I do.  This week has been more about figuring me out and what I need to do to put myself in a better place.

My plan is to post as often as I can, however I will for sure post every Thursday.  I have found when reading different blogs many people say they will be posting daily and don't which is annoying to spend the time to go see whats new only to find out nothing.  I figure, just like in life, it is best to set achievable goals.
