Joke of the day - A soldier serving overseas far from home was annoyed and upset when his girl wrote to break off their engagement and ask for her photograph back.
He went out and collected from his friends all the unwanted photographs of women that he could find, bundled them all together, and sent them back with a note saying, "I regret that I cannot remember which one you are. Please keep your photo and return the others."

Well,
Today was the first day of the big 3 day inspection at work that we've all worked so hard to prepare for.
I arrived an hour early, as I have all last week, planning to stay an hour longer at night. As I have for the last week.
Shannon told me when I clocked in to go across the street to the new warehouse and help Bryan work on some jacks. I said, "Sure, Boss."
About an hour across the street helping Bryan, Bryan's phone rang and he had a brief conversation. He then turned to me and said,
"That was Shannon. He said there's a fire at the old warehouse across the street."
I said, "Oh, great. Inspection started today. I sure hope they get it put out. Probably a compactor dumpster fire again. I hope they don't call a fire truck."
Well Folks, there wasn't a fire truck that came. There were 3....
By the time I got back across the street to the old warehouse, about 15-20 firefighters were on the scene, raking through the debris from the now opened compactor. Seems that a new cleaning employee had used oil dry and thrown it into the compactor. That's a big no-no!
Greg, the Plant Manager, and I concurred that the firefighters had purposely delayed the quick extinguishing of the fire to train new firefighters.
Of course, they made quite a mess of things, pulling 3/4 of the contents of the compactor out to spray it down...
After a couple of hours, the firefighters climbed into their trucks and left.
Left a mess, they did.
Kipp had called a local rental company and had a track bobcat delivered and a roll-off dumpster.
I grabbed a scoop shovel and Kipp and I had it all cleaned up in about an hour.
Then, it was back to work.
"Jack #121 needs a riser replaced, Scott"
"I'm on it, Boss!"
I told Shannon that we need to find a politician to spin the incident as being "planned" for the inspection, to show how we can handle any emergency!
He laughed and said, "Get back to work, you goofball!"
Greg passed me later this evening as he was leaving for the day and stopped to shake my hand and said,
"Thanks Scott for jumping in there to help today."
I said, "Yes Sir, Boss. Have a good evening!"
I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring.....
Best,
Scott

I forgot to mention that after I had taken my lunch, after about 6 hours of work, second shift jack drivers were arriving to begin their shift.
This is usually quite a busy time for the Maintenance personnel, as many come to have load wheels, caster wheels and drive wheels replaced.
Many come seeking me.....
Within 30 minutes after having my lunch, I had replaced 2 Raymond jack drive wheels, 3 Crown load wheels, adjusted a brake on a Crown and all while starting the riser replacement.
I told all who had needs to line up...Scotty's repair shop was open for business!
The Hispanics were off to the side talking among themselves, and I caught enough of the conversation to hear how they were saying that to get good fast repairs to be sure to find me.
Later on, a jack driver came pulling up while I was working on the riser and said, "Dog! I need you Brother! I'm running Bonus and my load wheels are peeling!"
I said, "You found the best pit crew in the building, Bro!"
I raised his jack up, employed stands, pulled one side of his load wheels off and they were down to the metal. The axle was so hot that I had to use a shop rag to handle it. HOT MAMA!
I put 3 new load wheels on, checked the zerks, greased the axle and he was running again in about 7 minutes!
We bumped fists, and I said, "Go make some more money, Boss Man! And Be Safe!"
He rode off saying, "You the best, Dog!"
Yep.
The jack drivers know who keeps them running!

Scott

And,
Aren't we all just "Waiting on a Friend?"
I have found many times in my life that a stranger can be a Friend.....
Aren't we all just Friends?
Be Well, my Friends!

You know,
Seems like a long time ago,
But, I remember this album, which I still have.
The time that I remember this album, and trying to learn the guitar riffs is just one more memory that I find to be a "double bladed sword" in my life.
Ah, what the hell?
Let's just call it a good memory!
And I won't go into detail, OK?

Friends,
Although my mind is sharp, my body agile, I find that my dextile agility is waning....
Uncle Arthuritous is an unwelcome guest and Aleve doesn't....
View attachment 1521095
Believe it or not, this photo was taken after a session of "Lava" soap scrubbing.
My guitar "pick" hand.
AND "Trigger" hand.
But, know that I'll play the game as long as I can....
But, hey, what do you want?
I'm damn near 60 years old!
So,
Who will live longer?
Me or Keith Richards?
I think Vegas has even odds....
I'd say that is was because I've lived a healthy life.
But, I don't lie....Feel me?
Dig Y'all, as long as I feel productive, I feel alive!

My, look at the time....
Has philosophy any time?
Regardless of the hour?
No, it doesn't.
And Scott always has the time.
And Philosophy also always has the time.
It only requires your thought and understanding.
Because Philosophy is the tenet of life's purpose....
Believe it!
Best,
Scott
You do see that Peter is playing an Ovation, right?
I do....
It has always been my business to know things.....
To know and "read" people.
To silently observe that which others may not see.....
Part of my Military training....
I was led into a "Crime scene" room. I was given 30 seconds to scan, observe and recall.
I was then removed from the room.
During the time, items were added, removed and some items moved to other places.
I was then required to enter the room and report the changes.
Do you know what an "eidetic" memory" is?
Obviously my Commanders did....
I did so well in this qualification that I was assigned as a "peer instructor."
I also was assigned as a peer instructor for other courses....
We won't talk about the courses that I had....
In explosives, perimeter defense and such....
I LOVE Clay-mores! So many detonation possibilities!
Is it any wonder that I was selected for "Special" training?
Leading to an assignment concerning nuclear weapons and jackass European wanna-be terrorists....
Pshaw. Low rank amateurs.....I could pick them out everytime....
Ummm. Perhaps I'll shut up....
I might still be on a "most wanted" list....
But, ya know, I say, BRING IT!
I got something for you.
"That was a long time ago. But, I'm still an American and I'll still kill you to protect and defend."
I'm a vet and you NEVER want to mess with a vet. We'll rip your heart out and show it to you before you die.
Can't speak for others, but I might even have a bite....
Have you ever tasted blood? I have.... my own....It tastes metallic, like, iron....
"Wanna dance, Punk? Well, do ya?"

Sorry, I got lost in my service.
How about this tune to bring everybody back to happiness?
From, "Annie, Get Your Gun."
A song that I had to shine the right stage spotlight on the actress during a performance that, well you remember the show that I've mentioned....
A College stage performance that I performed at 16 years old....
I was involved with the performance, sneaking out every night from home to attend to practice and the "Dress rehearsal" was so exciting.
But, when the curtain came up on the actual show, I sweated like a whore in church on Sunday!
I was listed in the playbill and was so proud,...My Mom never had a clue that her son was involved in a stage production.
And, I'd do it again!

An example of the entire production.
Yeah, Scotty was there on right stage spotlight.
I was on point!
HOURS of rehearsal!
How many times that I heard, "CUT!"
"Do it Again!"
I performed a "Labor of Love."
"Annie, Get You Gun" will always have a deep meaning for me.
Now, without further ado,
I present,
"Annie, Get Your Gun!"
(Think of Scotty on right spotlight....)
My Best,
Scott

Another "No sleep" night.
Today's 10 hours will be long....
But, Scotty has no problems, Dig?
I don't need sleep to be right.
Inspection or not, I'm on point.
Feel me?
Daylight comes in an hour or two.
And my coffee will be ready by then.....
Will you greet the new day's morning light with me?
I've plenty of coffee...
