Is New Drive The Place For Carnicelli Star & Shoe Imprint?

We had a break in the weather. Temperatures warmed up to the 40s and the rain is holding off for 24 hours. They were here bright and early to start the pouring of the new driveway. It is quite an effort. More dumptrucks, bobcats, r-bar, 2x4s, rakes, shovels, etc. These guys really put in a long day.

One of the crew must be checked out on everything because we've seen him on every piece of machinery plus all the hand stuff. Pleep tried to talk him into taking control of the bobcat or the cement mixer. No luck. There is no monkeying around with this stuff.

Once they had the lower half of the driveway poured, Pleep thought it would be fun to imprint his hand and sign his name. He thought the crew might be a bit more moose-friendly so he talked Delete into going out. Delete chatted the crew up and asked about helping smooth things out. They were on to him too and said they had a special way of dealing with moose or monkey prints. It seemed to involve cement shoes and the lake below our house. Delete came back in and suggested to Pleep that the right course of action was to just post a note on the blog. Pleep commented that if Oscar were here, Oscar could have diverted the crew, leaving Pleep the chance to sneak in a print or two.

We were so happy to have the driveway in that we decided a driveway christening party was in order. Barley's was sponsoring an Indian Summer Brew Masters Dinner. The dinner involves a themed five-course meal paired with five fresh brews (one per course). The chef, head brewer and featured speakers offer insight into the pints and your palate during the meal.

Pleep said he didn't really need all the palaver just the food & beer. We enjoyed the fall beers, their tasting menu, and watching the Jets-Dolphins with Chris Carnicelli, international star of the Carnicelli Shoe Repair video. Pleep thinks he has found the perfect place to put in a star of fame & Carnicelli's shoe imprints. Now if he can only talk Chris into sneaking back here before Peggy & Ed get home. Pleep & Chris were very happy to see the "Fish" beat the Jets. Chris has turned Pleep into a full blown DOlphins fan. Of course, all it took was agreeing to pick up the tab for Pleep's beers - $2.50 for a 24 0z. stein on Monday nights is not too bad.
