Maybe this is better suited for a blog. Maybe I'll start one. Just little moments. Last one I promise.
So, I've did some programming today, getting a little burnt on things, decided to chill out . Listem to some toons and have a few beerskies.
Nothing new, right?
It's 10 to 6pm and the LCBO (Liquor/beer store to you un-Ontario'uns)closes at 6.
I figure I could use a couple more , as usual, so on goes the hat and coat and off I go.
Ten minutes later, freezing my butt off all the way there, I get there, and ther're closed.
I look in the window, knock on it, and there's my buddy counting out the days reciepts and shaking his head- NO!, although he never looks over at me to know it's me there.
So, I pull out a ten dollar bill, start waving it in the window, with a big smile on my face, big teeth, haha, ya know.
He happens to look over back at me, recognizes me, walks over towards me and sais, "Only for you Gord. Only for you."
haha. He unlocks the doors and I proceed in towards the back where my beer is.
The fridge with my beer is locked up. After some banter, a lady walks over, unlocks the wall so I can get my beer, and locks it back up afterwards.
I proceed to the cash register and my buddy reminds me "Only for you Gord. Only for you."
I chuckle, give him the ten and say "Keep the change. Appreciate it. Buy yourself a teasppon of sugar or something."
It was only a 50 cent tip.
He tosses it in the cash register and doesn't say a word, haha. (An old buddy of mine from back in the day.)
The Lady smiles and locks the doors behind me as I leave.
Another little moment in my hometown. :beer:
