Probably outdated with so much ebanking and such, but put the natural gas payment cheque in the electric company envelope, and vice versa.  Mail in plenty of time so they're not late.  Years ago, the companies would have waived a penalty.  Thanks to Joseph Wambaugh's 'The Choirboys' novel for that stunt.

Did you have a meeting or networking event at which you met some real tools that you know you’ll never do business with? Save their business cards! When you ding someone’s car in the parking lot, take one of those cards, write “sorry” on the back, and stick it under a windshield wiper.

I was never a guacamole fan. I don’t mind avocado (my wife hates the texture), but it was never my thing. It did nothing for me. 

 

Then we went to Las Vegas and stayed a few days with some old friends from our time in Florida. They live there full time now, and took us to lunch after picking us up at the airport. We turned right out of the airport and did not go too far before pulling into a hotel/resort on the left. They ordered guacamole at the Mexican restaurant in this place. Made table-side, and it was the best ever. 

 

Have you ever seen that thing where it’s either a princess or a hag? A light switch flipped and I learned I only like GOOD guacamole! Unfortunately, I rarely find that. 

 

It was like if there was only ONE good place to have great wings!

true story. My next door neighbor is a veterinarian. He made the sidewalk border in the front  of his property small  rocks with round prickly cactus set at a regular interval. Hence no dogs peeing on his lawn.

 

quite brilliant actually.

 

I live in a desert climate so we are (Up until recenty) been in severe drought conditions. I call this life hack "my senior citizen car wash" hack. I am a very early riser. Here in socal often there will be morning dew on the car. So I take rags and rub all the dirt off just using the natural water. Windex the glass if needed. Done

 

Its no cost and a wax on, wax off workout for the arms 🙂

1 part each of vinegar,  isopropyl alcohol and water makes a great,  cheap cleaner.  Pretty much any surface.  Some add a drop of dish soap but I skip that.  

And use newspaper when cleaning glass. Best streak free way to do it.

 

Believe it or not, old ashes from cigarettes work great as a glass cleaner too.

As an owner of a snack food distribution route, I can attest that chips are perfectly edible up to six months after their expiration date 

What is the 'vinegar' in salt and vinegar chips?  I buy regular chips, and doctor them up with real  vinegar.

Here is our recipe:

- 1 large or 2 small ripe avocados peeled & pitted

- 2 tsp fresh lime juice (from approx 1.5 small limes)

- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

- 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced

- 1 scant tsp ancho chili powder OR fresh jalapeño, finely chopped

- 1/4 tsp salt

 

Using a fork mash avocado and lime juice together until desired consistency is reached. Stir in rest of ingredients with spatula. Taste and adjust. Makes about 1 cup. 

 

It’s easy and delicious. Use fresh ingredients and don’t forget to taste and adjust at the end. Typically the salt or lime juice needs a little tweak. If your avocado is not ripe, store it at room temperature in a brown paper bag and check it daily. When ripe it will yield to firm pressure but not be mushy.

 

Enjoy.
