CRISPINS CRITTERS

Fast story. Today my wife went to Dr. Sent me to get meds at pharmacy. There was a gorgeous 20 something young lady working the counter. I noted she wasn’t smiling much. I said “ ma’am I’m going to apologize in advance because I have this issue— my mouth speaks what I’m thinking and I can’t control it.” She smiled said ok. I said “ you are absolutely gorgeous.” Her face brightened..... she came from behind the counter and hugged me. She kissed me on the cheek and said “ oh sir I really appreciate you today. I was having a bad day but you brightened it. Would you like my cell number?” I said “ I would love your number, but I’m married she might not be happy with that exchange” She leaned over real close and said “ that’s ok, I like women too!” My jaw hit the floor.......... WHEW my toes are hard!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe. Got me a good smile today! What did you do?

Definitely should have got her number!!! Lol
 

So, I've been trying to skate through this week as smoothly as possible in anticipation of my vacation....

It's getting nigh on time to call it an evening tonight and I'm in the maintenance shop logging on the computer all of the repairs that I've made for the day.

Suddenly, Israel, a second shift manager comes into the shop.
I could immediately see from the look on his face that it was NOT a social visit.

I said, "What's up, my Friend?"
He said, "Scott, I need your help. A selector flipped a double jack over on 'C' Dock!"
I jumped up and immediately asked if anyone was hurt. He said no.

So I grabbed a 6' chain and told him to meet me there with a forklift.
When we got there, the jack was laying on it's side, the 1000 pound battery was on it's side leaking battery acid all over the floor.

There were other forklift drivers there but they were unsure what to do....

I immediately took charge and directed one of the forklift drivers to get a 50 pound bag of baking soda to neutralize the acid spill.
I then hooked the chain to the battery and directed Israel, on a forklift, to slowly lift the overturned battery from the jack to place on a pallet that I had brought over. Once the battery was removed from the overturned jack and placed on a pallet, I jumped on another jack and moved the battery out of the way.
By then, the baking soda was there and I directed that it be spread liberally on the acid spill.

Then I hooked the chain to the jack and Israel's forklift and he slowly righted the jack.

I had one of the forklift drivers take the battery on the pallet to the area outside the Maintenance shop and had another forklift driver "tow" the righted jack there also. I remained to work on the acid spill and eventually was able to consider the area "Hazard Free."

Thinking back now, most all of the folks who assisted me were Hispanic, and I think I spoke more Spanish during the incident than English.
Darn! I didn't want them to know that I speak that much Spanish.....
But, it was necessary, Dig?

I went back to the Maintenance shop, wrote a brief report, finished my computer logging and clocked out.

So much for "skating" tonight, Huh?

That's OK, Folks...

ONE MORE DAY!

Yall be Well!

Best,

Scott

ADDED:
Most likely, I will have a conversation tomorrow with Shannon and Greg, the Warehouse Supervisor, about the incident.
I'm cool with that....
Yesterday, I told Greg that I was going on Vacation next week and he said,
"AH DAMN! We're going to have to shut down the whole plant until you get back!"
I said, "Nah. Just put items in order that I need to do. I'll take care of it when I get back. By the way, have you seen my T-Shirt? It has a big "S" on it. But, phone booths are hard to find now days." He laughed....

He also told me that he knows that if he tells me that something needs to be taken care of, I will make it happen. He said that of all the things that he has asked me to do, I have done them all.
Everyone where I work knows me.
Everyone where I work knows that I will...

GIT 'ER DONE!

I LOVE my Job!

Perhaps I'll take my 6-string Taki with me for company at night around my campfire....

I feel greatly sad because I will miss Veterans Court this Tuesday....
A Friend from Veterans Court has a Birthday today....
I wished him a Happy Birthday.

Though I may travel far from the comfort of my home and Friends this next week,
I never will forget where I came from. Nor what I've experienced to this point in my life and the Friends that have helped me to survive to this upcoming Birthday.....
If this should be my last Birthday, it is with glad memories of the times past spent with my Friends!

Now then, how about a song or two?



Or this....


Yeah...I once was fond of cake and ice cream for my Birthday, and even frequently looked forward to beer and reefer, but, I'll leave relatives out of this discussion....
Now, I think I'll settle for a bottle of Scotch and a fine Cigar, thank you.
Funny how time can reform one's perspective, Dig? OR NOT?
I post thoughts, hoping that my Friends understand.

Perhaps, some may not understand my wild ideas....

That's OK.
Sometimes, I'm not sure myself....

latest

"I will vote for you, my Friend."

Yeah, you have no idea what I'm thinking, do you?
That's OK. I've always lived my life alone. Today is no different....
When my Friends reached out for a hand, I was there.....
Tomorrow will be the same....
I am still a Vet. I still believe in America....
Don't make me go deeper....


Rarely does one post and share of their innermost thoughts and memories.
Because they have no more tears to shed........

So, tomorrow is my last day before my vacation.

You want to know my plans?

OK...

My plans...

LOAD MY *crap* AND GET GONE! DIG?

Pictures at 11:00...

Y'all be good 'till I get back, Dig?

Scott
 

But, somehow, I'm worried....

Friends have difficulties...
People whom look to me for advice will ask....
"Scott, what should I do?"

I'll reply, " Life is short. Get Down tonight!"

Do you need any more proof that a white boy like me can play music like this?
Doubt me and I'll search for a bell bottoms and a 70's afro pic....
And won't you feel funny when I find a couple of pics in my box of memories....

Yeah, I'll call you out....

Ready to jam?



Guess you had to be there to understand....
My first wife loved to sing this song while I played....

View attachment 1596560

Yeah, ole Scotty lost out....
Damn!
Still Beautiful....After 30 years....
The look of knowing....
What a pair we would make...the Beauty and the Brain....
But, my beauty won't last forever....
And, I realize that I'm still in love....

Just sent a message...

And, Yes, I said that I still love her....

Don't think that I'll tell you all that what was said....8-)
She knows of my past Military Service and that not said before......And will NEVER be said.


AND...
Just when you thought that you know what the hell is going on,
HERE COMES A CURVE BALL!



We do share a love of animals.
Surely that counts for something?

Joke of the day — Fred was unfortunate enough to be hit by a 10-ton truck and landed up in hospital in intensive care. His best friend Morris came to visit him.

Fred struggles to tell Morris, "My wife Sally visits me three times a day. She's so good to me. Every day, she reads to me at the bedside."

"What does she read?"

"My life insurance policy."

Johnny, naw it sure does keep an edge! What’s that old saying? “Keep your knife sharp and your finger on the trigger!” When I was deployed during any down time, I spent it cleaning my weapon and/or sharpening my knife! I didn’t want a malfunction of either!!!
