CRISPINS CRITTERS

When I was a kid, I had a perfectly mint 1863, 3 cent piece......

It took me awhile to find, but after searching through 3 of my safes, I found my favorite 3 Cent piece...

An 1865.
The Year that the Civil War ended and Lincoln's life ended.

Be Well, my Friends.

Yesterday at work, Tristan had just "finished" a pallet jack PM.
I had a write-up to replace a drive wheel on that jack and had went to it to make sure that it was taken care of.

Well, it wasn't....
Not only that, it wasn't properly PM'ed.
There were grease fittings that hadn't been greased, fittings that were missing and other items that should have been attended to.

I took Tristan aside and asked what the deal was.
He became defensive, avoiding the original point of the conversation.
He even started to call me names including, "Hard Ass."

Well, I stopped for a moment to search for how I would respond.

I eventually said,
"A hard ass, huh? That is your opinion and everyone has an opinion. Perhaps you are right, perhaps you are wrong. But, that is your opinion.
A person's opinion is based upon many factors. Those factors include; previous experiences, foresight of knowledge, cognitive understanding, other's opinions and falsely, emotional response."

He gave me a blank look and I said, "Let me help you correctly PM this jack."
And we did.

The gist is that sometimes when one says something that you may not agree with, they may only be trying to help, not criticize.

Later, upon genuflection, I found that I had once again given advice to another that I myself found lacking in my life.

Friends, we are ALL merely humans, given only a short period of time to exist.
We ALL make mistakes and hopefully we learn from those errors to be better in our short journey of life.

When the day ends, and you think back on the time that you have just given in the last 24 hours, have you learned to be better?

I certainly do.

My Best,

Scott
 

Both boys are wrestling all over the floor. The 16 y/o is on the 12 y/os back. He just said “ I’m going to tickle you” the 12 y/o said “ tickling is not a submission!” Hehehe

Hot off the presses, well yesterday “my wife is cancer free “ woohoo!!!!

Yesterday I went to a grocery store. I took my dog. As I was leaving this young adult lady came over and she says “ oh look it’s so beautiful, so sweet and so tiny” I said excuse me? She looked at me for a couple seconds and says “ the dog, the dog is so tiny” then we both busted out laughing as her face turned red as a beet! Hehe that was [emoji1][emoji41][emoji41]

I woke up this morning to take the boys to school. My wife’s car wouldn’t start. Dead battery. Must be that cold spell we had. Darn temperature got down to 52 degrees yesterday. That’s ok suppose to get back to 84 today. Hahaha
