As a good progressive king, I would bring back that position and a few more like Punkawallahs and Gong Farmer's (kind of the same but you get to pick up everybodys uh fertilizer).
Heck, there will even be a Whipping Boy spot for Scot or Scotty or maybe they would prefer the Daily Burier job (who doesnt like yelling "Bring out your Dead").
Well shoot fire, there's still hope for a great job!

Evening DTR.

Where is the Janitor hiding now? He needs to clean this place up...it smells like Barks Septic Tank in here again.


FIL and the wife step mother came over tonight to visit. We ended up having pizza for dinner from a local pizza place. Work went well, spent the first half of my day finishing up some of my safety training refresher courses.

Holy crap dude....a fire in August!!!!!! Is it already that cold in North Earth? We were just glad to get some rain and cooler temps these last few days. Yesterday's high was 75* (normally like 110*) and today was only 90*. Felt like fall down here in Texas. I wonder if that's a sign of things come? We normally dry up about mid-June and start to cool down and get some rain about late October if we're lucky. The last couple days have been a true blessing. Hopefully some of the farmers around the nation can get some relief as well.

I'm one of the modern ones out here. A lot of people are still using wooden cribs made of local trees.
After about 20 years they become car traps when they finally cave in.

Wild fire not a fire to heat the house... Although it was 33* this AM when I got off work...... Made it up to 70*ish today nice weather.


There is a 15K acre or so wild fire south of town burning right now and the wind changed bringing the smoke this way. looked like a big t-storm rolled in except the sun was blood red.

You don't notice the stink when you smell just like it.

Good Morning Misfits

Happy (late, very late) Berfday to Timmay!

Moved to a new office last week. They have teh interwebs down here. Kinda nice. I can DTR again.

Moved campgrounds too. Was able to get my own Comcast internet there too. Its quick, 4.5 megabytes/s on the download. Movie Time!

New camp spot is quite a bit nicer, close to civilization (Dickinson, Tx) with anything you need within 5 minutes, and cheaper too boot. Spot is 450/month with all utilities included. Last spot was 495/month and I had to pay the utilities, which were running 180-200 bucks a month. FOR AN RV! The owners were robbing people blind. When I pitched a fit about it, they basically said I was free to find another spot. People caring and running an honest shop is getting more and more rare these days.

How is everyone?

Well what'd you expect? Those 'personal pleasure' devices you have must suck up the power pretty fast. Especially if you use them constantly!

I think thats the biggest problem is that a lot of people just don't care about other people and they don't care what anybody thinks about them.

Oh, here is a different Sheepinator. Ratchet and Clank Commercial Sheepinator:

Actually, I think the biggest problem is people accepting second rate products AND service. Everyone wants the cheapest prices but they don't think about the kind of quality they're getting until that product fails to perform as expected.

Although I simply can't understand how...

But... Blake seems to be performing just fine. Is t possible to have a second rate product perform??? This world never ceases to amaze me.

Unless of course the all those packages delivered to his house have something to do with it...

Afternooner all. Kinda quiet around here today. figured the pot needed a little stirrin!!!
