My financial advisor always told me to ensure I diversify my investments. Well here is yet another example of my diversification. I had the opportunity to acquire a few gallons of Ice Cream - Baskin Robbins to be exact - at a price I could not ignore. With a love of Ice Cream that runs several generations deep on my dad's side - this could only be a win-win situation. The Plan - hold the Ice Cream until May when the temperature hits three digits and sell each scoop for $1. I expect to net a few thousand dollars - all taxes free. I am renting freezer space from the US Govt for pennies a day so keeping the "goods" frozen should not be an issue.
Okay...here is the truth. When we received our food shipment the other day it was not until the truck was 7/8 unloaded that the driver discovered this particular load truck should have gone to another location. This reminds me of one of the "Chance" card from Monopoly - "Bank error in your favor, collect $100." Except in this case - Army Convoy Commanders' error in your favor, get 240 gallons of Ice Cream for only 40 guys; not to mention all the lobster and steak that was also delivered. Essentially, we received 80 - three gallon cartons of premium ice cream in a variety of flavors. I think my daily intake of calcium will be going up...never to early to start preventive maintenance on osteoporosis...especially at my age. Today flavors of the day were Mixed Berry and Vanilla, tomorrow...maybe Mint Chocolate Chip!!!

Alright.....so let me see if I have this right. Within the last week, you've been given 2 "energy boosts", pimped out your daughter in marriage, and received free Lobster, Steak, and hundreds of gallons of ice cream? Getting all this, as well as holding down your "Construction Foreman" job, selling cars, and digging for ammo. You sure you want to leave come June? Not that I would want to take your place or anything, but if that's what my tax dollars are going to, I'd better be getting a bigger refund this year, 'cause if that ain't FWA (Fraud, Waste, and Abuse), they I don't know what is........LOL
