Robert Hunter

All the musicians I loved and listened to are dying.
Robert Hunter in the top 3 song writers ever.

Robert Hunter 1941-2019

Jerry, my friend,
you've done it again,
even in your silence
the familiar pressure
comes to bear, demanding
I pull words from the air
with only this morning
and part of the afternoon
to compose an ode worthy
of one so particular
about every turn of phrase,
demanding it hit home
in a thousand ways
before making it his own,
and this I can't do alone.
Now that the singer is gone,
where shall I go for the song? Without your melody and taste
to lend an attitude of grace
a lyric is an orphan thing,
a hive with neither honey's taste
nor power to truly sting.
What choice have I but to dare and
call your muse who thought to rest
out of the thin blue air
that out of the field of shared time,
a line or two might chance to shine --
As ever when we called,
in hope if not in words,
the muse descends.
How should she desert us now?
Scars of battle on her brow,
bedraggled feathers on her wings,
and yet she sings, she sings!
May she bear thee to thy rest,
the ancient bower of flowers
beyond the solitude of days,
the tyranny of hours--
the wreath of shining laurel lie
upon your shaggy head
bestowing power to play the lyre
to legions of the dead
If some part of that music
is heard in deepest dream,
or on some breeze of Summer
a snatch of golden theme,
we'll know you live inside us
with love that never parts
our good old Jack O'Diamonds
become the King of Hearts.
I feel your silent laughter
at sentiments so bold
that dare to step across the line
to tell what must be told,
so I'll just say I love you,
which I never said before
and let it go at that old friend
the rest you may ignore

RIP 

Tim

B4 and After

Everyone likes the before and after photos.
Here goes:

I asked the previous company if they would put in a new stand 10 years ago when they installed it.
They didn't.
You told me you were going to replace the stand and I thought "yea right"
Not only did you replace the stand, but also did work no one else even mentioned to me!
Thank You.
100% satisfied!

Before........

After.....

That wasn't too hard was it??
To some it is.

Rockin Hobe Sound,

Disapointing Start

Fort Hays was winning the game for 55 minuets, but as we all know it is a 60 minute game.

https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5190

Ted had a monster of a game with 11 pancake blocks and gave up zero sacks but a loss is a loss.

Here is the full story with their season opener.

https://fhsuathletics.com/news/2019/9/5/football-mules-slip-past-no-11-8-tigers-with-pair-of-late-touchdowns.aspx

They will go at it again next week at home VS  Missouri Western.

Till Then,
Tim

8/9/1995 was a sad day
We will get by
We will survive

Your workers were very courteous, and fast considering the intense heat in the attic.
Service overall was excellent!

Roger Charette
Twin River

Did you hear about the fire in the circus????
The heat was in tents.

Mick is 76.....I only wish I have half his energy when I'm 66.

I was extremely pleased with the service I recieved and would HIGHLY recommend your company to ANYONE.

Maria Reduto

Monkey Man

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
And all my friends are junkies
That's not really true

I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?

But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you babe?

But I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through

Yeah, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?

Well I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic

But we love to play the blues

But well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
Monkey woman too babe

I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
Monkey, monkey
Monkey

Monkey
I'm a monkey

If you listen to this may I suggest to to turn it up REAL LOUD!!!

See ya in Miami 8/31

I Wish

I wish every dog has a home.
I wish every home has a dog.


Nina

A couple of butt sniffs and a growl or two and its like the three have been together forever.
She is a laid back food hound. Not aggressive but she hangs hard in the kitchen and even with cataracts of steel she can pinpoint a crumb at 50 feet in a thick fog.

Just sayin'
Tim


PS:
It's hot as Haties out there, stay hydrated stay in the a/c or the shade. If you need work done sorry to say but take a number and wait in line.

Give The People What They Want

All contact and interaction with every Grateful personnel and employee was excellent!!
Every effort was made to preform all aspects of the work in a courteous and professional manner.
Thank You!!

Thank you Dan that is some solid words.

Saucer Full Of Secrets

Nick Mason the one and only drummer from Pink Floyd brought his Saucer Full Of Secrets to Miami Beach last night.

Top 10 shows of all time for me.

Your such

?What?

Please don't use my name but I wanted to give a comment on you and your replacement crew.
Well......OK

Going where the climate suits my clothes.

I don't understand how this pertains to the change out we did but I sure like where your coming from.

Tim

Phones Are Ringing

Warm up to 83 degrees and my phone is LIT.
Let's get it done before it really gets warm.
NO ONE and I mean NO ONE does it like Grateful.

Just a lil tidbit to chew on.......If it's not written on the proposal, It isn't going to happen. In 2019 verbal promises mean nothing.

Going home at 4 is over,
Tim

Warming Up Again

Temperatures next week are forecast to get into the 80's.
Are YOU ready??? 
Is your A/C ready??

Super Bowl

Super Bowl has come and gone.

College and high school spring ball is what we look forward to now.
Congratulations to Americas most hated team NE Patriots. People sure hate a dynasty and there is n question Tom Brady and Bill Belichick sure are running a dynasty at this time.

Everything on the air conditioning front is slow. Not cold enough for heat and sure not warm enough to run the a/c either.

If it struggled, sputtered, made terrible noises or the electric bills were soaring last year it won't be any better this summer. They just don't fix themselves in the winter.

CALL US

Best deals of the year.

Hanging out by the phones,

PSSF

Port Salerno Seafood Festival

One of the biggest and best festivals on the treasure coast. I do not think I have missed one yet.
Shrimp, fish, clams, oysters, smoked dip, sushi, soups, and every drink you can think of.
My favorite is the oysters. Raw, cooked or fried I will eat em all.

Look for our vans scattered around the Port Salerno area. Proud to be a Salernian.

Giving away calanders, stickers, t-shirts and more.
Get there early and look for us at the north and south entrances.

Enjoy,
Tim

Winter Savings

Need any attic work done????
Now is the time.
Chilly temperatures means chilly attics. Chilly attics mean $$$ savings.
As the weather warms up so does the cost (labor) and wait times.

Just a freindly reminder,
Tim

He Came, He Ate, Now He Leaves

Here is the boy in New Mexico showing me some sort of dub step move. A front moved through and the sun was setting and the wind was gusting. Very very cold that afternoon. We were heading to Texas to a school visit then home.

Ted visited a handful of schools. He had many different offers from many different sized schools all over the country.
During the visits he was treated like a king and was giving many little "goodies". One school actually made some cookies with his name on it. That school in Texas was real close with the big cookie but was just a little short.

The other schools did not hold back either. All the schools fed him (multiple times) and they all flew him across the country. They brought out all the coaching staff too. One school literally had 9 coaches talk, meet and eat with him. They all took him out to see the town at night with established players on the teams. One school also had a coach come to our house for in a in home visit.

It's nice to be "wanted" and not just an "opening" we found for you, two schools had Ted at the #1 pick on their recruiting board.

He chose Fort Hays State University in Hays Kansas.
As a bird flies he will be 60 miles from the dead center of the United States.
He chose this school due to the experience of the coaching staff, proximity of food/bars from the campus, the amount of students, and he feels this will be his best opportunity to run for a Natty. They want him as their right tackle. He likes that.

He leaves tomorrow (Friday) and needs to be there on Sunday/Monday to settle in his new apartment and be ready for classes on Tuesday. He chose his major as communications. The ride is 2,000 miles and 24 hours. He is taking this journey solo. Mom isn't to pumped on this choice but by the time I was 21 I already drove the east coast 4 or 5 times and went to the west coast twice by myself, he'll be fine. At his size I will not fear he would be kidnapped.

The car has been tuned up and ready to go. Bags are packed too. I filled his pocket with some cash and a pat on the back. Time to finish your education with a bachelors degree and as always it's time to ball yall.

Stay safe and warm son,
Tim

Saturday Decisions
