Monday was my day off. I left to Santiago on Monday morning at 7am with Dori who was going to get his residency in Santo Domingo and getting there from Santiago with his attorney.
.I took a cab to the place where I am/was going to buy a Granite counter for the bar which is pictured below the piece of granite stone.
.
I then took a bus to Puerto Plata and a motoconcho to Alberto's office because I needed to cash a 5000 dollar check. They stamped the check and told me to go to RUSA the change house and they would give me the Dollars for it. Turns out they were going to take 50 US dollars from me for this service so I said NO THANKS. I called my buddy Alberto when I left there to go to Sosua and he told me he was sorry and he will deliver the money to Sosua on Wednesday.
.
Alberto had recommended the Granite guy to me and he ended up calling a woman that works for Alberto telling her that the piece I picked out wasn't good for what I wanted. Now I am thinking that all these people are complete morons. On my only day off I waste it going to pick out a rock that I was only told wasn't good the next day. How freakin stupid can people be?
.
I told the woman that called me that I wouldn't deal with the idiot who wasted my time and was asking me to return to Santiago again tomorrow and all of a sudden he is going to bring the samples. When I tell people that doing business here is tough I mean it. These morons think nothing about wasting your time and thinking you will do business with them again. This guy is coming here with samples and to cut a pattern for the slab but if he doesn't bring anything I like as well he will have wasted HIS time also.
.
The weather is still beautiful here so I am not going anywhere but you have to have a person in EVERY field you will know well in order to have a decent simple life. I hate stupid and I hate people who cause me to work stupid. Feel sorry for this dope when he gets here for running my tail around on my day off for no reason!
Hasta Pronto!

A granite counter top for the bar. Isn't granite to slippery to dance on? :)
Someone made a remark about the french fries at the restaurant.
Here is a receipt for great FF
One large russet (Idaho) potato per person, plus one for the crowd
Canola, corn or peanut oil
Salt(For a real treat, use fleur de sel from France’s Brittany coast, the undisputed queen of sea salt. It’s pricey, but a little goes a long way, and you’ll taste the difference, I promise.)
Cut potatoes into desired shape and let them rest in ice water until preparation is done.
Heat to 325 degrees enough oil to submerge the slices in a pot big enough to hold them without crowding.
Thoroughly dry the potato slices on all sides with paper towel. A loose batch at a time, add potatoes to the hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes, turning once or twice, until pale golden. Remove the par-cooked potatoes to a plate or sieve lined with several layers of paper towel until all are cooked.
Raise the oil temperature to 375 degrees, and cook the fries a second time for about 2 minutes, or until they start to brown.
Drain well on fresh sheets of paper towel, then salt, to taste and serve immediately.
Good luck!
