People tell me…..

I’m wasting my money on earthquake insurance in a rarely shaken part of the country!

Yup, but I lived down the road during the quake in the 90’s! Which cracked the foundation and a wall of the house we were living in at the time!

It’s a rare occurrence but ya just never know…..

First day of…..

New job went ok! ‘‘Twas tough getting through not really doing anything! Since I’m learning the ropes so to speak.

I got to run the pallet jack and deal with any lumping needed doing! Which actually helped keep me awake! Now I’m doing this without my usual overdose of caffeine!

So remember that! But was a good 11 hour shift….

My next shift I’ll be far better prepared! Now I know what I need and how it’s going to roll!

FYI, I will now call myself an expert lift gate operator!

I love telling….

Some of the OTR experiences I have had over th years!

Finally got to tell that one about the meat load I hauled to the stop light market there on the miracle mile in Chicago! Down by the inner city projects apartment buildings!

How they had to have an armed security guard come out and unlock and open the trailer doors and walk the trailer into the store dock. Cus there were 3 -4 people just waiting to get their hands on the boxes of meat I had in the trailer!….

That experience is always a crowd pleaser…..

What am I doing…..

Besides not buying crypto right now! I am spending way too much money on new work boots!

I would just wear my dr.martens but they suck on wet surfaces! Even though they say they work good on slick surfaces!

So I found some comfortable composite toe work boots that will get me through…..

First day of work went well! Only almost fell asleep like twice! I am not a sit and stare at a video for hours on end guy!

It was weird not having to watch the blood born pathogens and hazmat videos! Instead I had to watch “ how to secure freight on a flatbed” ( not running flatbed! ) and the most boring’est video on sexual harassment!

Like I was telling the hr lady who was doing the orientation! ( Which was cool cus it was a 1 on 1 learning situation if needed! Added bonus! She wrote “welcome Lawrence” on the overhead board! ) “ the people I work with are sexless, “ genderless!” After years of working for a company with a lot of transsexuals.

You don’t find any women attractive at work! Cus you honestly don’t know anymore who’s a chick and who’s a dude! – Sexless…..

Overall we will see how it goes! I’m looking forward to the experience! first few weeks will be the roughest! As the schedule change will more than likely rock my world!

Yet the getting out and exercising portion of the show will ease the transition a bit…..

Oh and to the neighbor who wants to see me smile more! Yea, if you come over every day after I get home from work and rock my world! I will definitely smile a lot more! 🙂

And to figure out what to do with Mika while I’m at work? We will see how that goes! I might have to buy an indoor kennel and a timed feeder…..

We shall see!

Started puppy….

On some new old food! Meaning, she has had this style before. Yet not this exact stuff…..

It’s more of a wet canned food style! Yet in the exact amount she eats…. 3oz is a lot of food for Mika the great, queen of happy valley!

So we’re are going to see how her body reacts and go from there! All I know is in the last 3 meals she has eaten!

She has gobbled it up along with the mini milk bones to give her teeth some crunch!

Also ladies…..

I’m looking for sorters and baggers! I’m looking to go through the junk drawers tonight and am outsourcing help!

Includes free meal, drinks and a whole lot of laughing!

Serious enquiries only…..

Must be within driving distance of the pdx metro and supporting suburbs! Washingtonians ok!

I’ve been trying…..

To figure out why my ass is dragging the last few days? Then it hit me, I have spent the last 30 years sucking down mass quantities of caffeine!

When I came in off the road, I stopped! Like to the point I’ve been trying to ween myself with my iced coffee every day!

I really don’t think it’s working! 😉 this also explains why random parts of my body are getting super cold! Hands and feet I get, legs, arms and boobies. I don’t get…..

Luckily I have my cute rat to keep me warm! 🙂

Oh and I never saw my quilted maple charvel strat…. Luckily for the soon to be x old lady all the high end guitars are there…..

Well I did it…..

I went through all my guitars! Never did find my honey burst les Paul tribute! Imagine that!

But I found about 48 guitars I’m going to part with!

Ltd, Ibanez, charvel, Michael Kelly, stienburger, a couple fenders, evh’s , bunch o g&l’s, couple gibsons, a couple Jackson’s, a couple epiphones…..

I also didn’t realize how many fucking g&l’s i owned!

As I’m going through them it’s like, when the fuck did I get that guitar! Like the Michael Kelly at the top…..
