A perfect day

The whole family piled into the car and we headed out to the annual parade for Saint Patrick. We got there early and I found a good place to park. We got out and headed down the street all dressed in green. We were a sight to see.

The parade finally started and it was worth the wait. There were many things going on and the kids had a great time. When it was over, we had a cookout at a local park. All in all it was a great day.

No more monkey business

For those people who are around my age, you might remember the musical group called the Monkees. They had a few big hits of which the most famous was probably “Daydream believer”. It was a great song and a good memory for many people.

I was sad to hear that the so-called leader of the band Davy Jones died on Wednesday after complaining of chest pains. We are sorry to see him go he was a part of our lives and many people like me are sorry to see him go.

Give me some room

It seems that I never have enough room in my house. As much as I clean it out and get rid of old things, I am always bringing in something new. This is particularly true of my garage. Everyone knows that my garage is my pride and joy and I want it to be neat and tidy. That’s why I decided to invest in some Garage Cabinets to make things a little more manageable.

The main reason I need Garage Storage Cabinets is that I have a lot of car parts that I want to categorize so that I can find them when I want them. I spend most of my time looking for things I know I have and it’s driving me crazy! I am only trying to decide what size cabinets I need and what kind to get. That’s when I discovered that I could purchase Steel Storage Cabinets in order to make my dream come true.

I have looked at many types and brands and have decided to go with Arrow Spacemaker Storage Cabinets. They have the cabinets I need and offer quick service as well as low prices. I am looking forward to having my garage arranged the way I want it to be. It will be great knowing that I can have a little more room for the things I need and want.

DMV

I have just bought a new truck. It is a 1985 ford ranger that I hope to fix up and use for various tasks. Anyway, I had to take that dreaded trip to the DMV in order to get the title straight and new tags. It was a long wait and I was missing work for every hour spent in a hard chair, not getting paid.

After I got my number, I patiently waited for it to be called. After waiting for quite a spell, my turn finally came. Guess what happened next. That’s right, I had to wait some more!! I lost 5 hours of work and no way to make it up.

I am always glad to get out of that place!

Boardwalk Shows

When I was a kid, my father used to load the whole family up in the car on the weekend and drive us to the DC convention Center or to the DC Armory and take us through trade shows. I used to like the shows because the vendors were always giving away free samples of food and drinks, and there were demonstration of new and exciting things. That was probably the first time I was exposed to pop up displays and I remember some great displays, like the life size cut out of a NASCAR driver.

Nowadays, I see pop up trade show displays in a lot more places. We have a lot of trade shows and conventions here at the beach, with many of them out in public or free to the public. I’ve seen displays on the Boardwalk during shows and festivals. I see them in convenience stores (still a lot of life size NASCAR drivers – some things never change!) to promote the sales of beer, sodas or candy. I see them in the grocery store for seasonal items, like candy for Easter this weekend.

Since I’ve just raised your awareness of pop up booths and displays, keep your eye open and write me comment of where you see them in your neighborhood or daily life. I’d like to know. I bet they are all around you and you’ve never really paid attention to them.
