I will stop complaining about my last flight. At least I had noise canceling ear plugs.

Hope this next job will be enjoyable. It sucks to work a job that has problems.

One of my favorite advances from years back was the use of some drugs that block the effects of opiates.
We had certain Inmates who could dislocate their shoulders or other joints at will.
Transporting them to the hosp resulted in them getting a shot for the "pain" of putting the ball back in the socket.
Giving them a shot of Narcan immediatly afterwards robbed them of the high from the first shot. They stopped dislocating things after that.

NO! With his pants down he would also want to show everybody his new hip and that wouldnt go well at all.

Speaking of Hipsters, time to go to the old folks place. Supposed to be some pecan pie in it for me if I hook up some gals computer.

Evening folks.

Wow, Its late!!!
FiverBob is probably getting up about now.
Going to sleep now, hope I dream about beer.
Two months since my last beer. Six months since my last cigar.
Except for my occasional impure thoughts, mustach and beer belly I could be a nun.
