CRISPINS CRITTERS

Today was a busy day....
While replacing a shaft on a double pallet jack tenon, laying on my back, I got a text from the Director of HR wanting me to check on the air filters of the HVAC system in the Administrative Building,
I texted back, "I'm on my way!"

I ended up replacing a 20x20x1 ceiling filter for return air and checking the electronic thermostats and properly programing them.

Then, back to the shaft of the double jack.

Another text.
From the Boss.
"Come to my office,"

When I arrived at the office, I was told that I now have the responsibility of inspecting the heating and cooling system on a monthly basis for the entire site.

What could I say, based upon my knowledge and experience, but, I'm your guy, Boss!

Paperwork involved.....

Man....
You want them all to rise.
But never forget , what if only one does this year? What if all your intention regarding mentoring only helps one Veteran to rise above the circumstances that involved court to begin with. Or at least to not be back in the courts eye?

If that does not seem like a lot to you. It will be to the Veteran...

I don't have much new for encouragement. But still have old to repeat.

[Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions.

Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”

The young boy paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves,” the youth replied. “When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water.”

The old man replied, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.”

The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!”]

RC,

Perhaps you know, that in times of trouble and difficulties, many need help.
If one has the opportunity to save even one life, how can that be a failure?

I do what I can and ask the Lord to help me save as many as I can......

Are we not yet mortals in the realm of Gods?

Here's some 78 discs that I'm going to sell.









Dang!

Folks are gonna clean out my Blues collection!

Scott

Thank goodness, I still have the newer versions!



Seems that I once offered my estate but no one was interested.
No takers.

Therefore, when I die, everyone is invited to my funeral.

My estate?
Estimated at over thousands of dollars.

And, since I never had children, fearing that they would be like me,
I have no one to bequeath my vast fortune to.....

It will be given to whomever wields a taser best.

The rules are:

Everyone gets a taser.
Last one conscious, gets Scotts goods.
Google "Taser Hits."

Want some?
Dang! Sounds like fun. Wish I could be there.....

Other rules apply. See my executor for full rules and disclaimer.

Used to change many hundreds of filters regularly.
About 600,000 square feet of a shop that had a conveyorized paint lines ,ovens ,washer systems,curing ovens ,molding facilities ect.
Air houses on roof , burner houses feeding ovens big as small houses below roof. Umpteen paint booths and flash tunnels. Year round. Freeze outside , roast inside.
Pocket filters. Composite filters.Filter filters l.o.l.. F.S.I. filters. Pleated filters.

One improvement was to handle spring cotton wood "snow" fluff clogging intake filters prematurely. A blanket type pre filter was added to housing intakes avg around 6x foot.
Mounted on velcro they saved lots of filters and labor during brief fluff period.

Air balance mattered. To direct air flow into flash tunnels or waterfalls and control paint flow/overspray.
A filter banks filter conditions affected other conditions... Clean or dirty were opposite ends of the spectrum with a happy medium still needing adjusting due to outside
environmental/weather conditions.

My supervisor came through after hours one night with a guest while I was on a ladder changing a large booths ceiling filters.
They stopped to watch me and I playfully tossed a soiled filter at their mesh reinforced window about fifteen feet away like a Frisbee without looking their direction.
The metal wire around the edge of the filter impacted corner first and knocked glass out of the window about at their faces.....
Boss left , smiling and shaking his head , and said the next day he didn't know that style glass could break like that.
(Oh crap ,blush.)

Rain falls....Thunder shakes my soul, yet I'm content in my life.....

I've reached the limit of my despair and now help others with theirs.....
Have you ever went to visit your Dad who lived under a bridge?
Would your Dad be as proud of you as my Dad would be of me?
Yeah, I'm the son of a drunkard.
That is my legacy.
If I choose.....
But....
I am more than that.
I served.
I am a Vet.
I am a Man!
I can make a difference!
Just watch!



Soon, my life will influence another's goal towards success..........

However, like you, I will be the best.

You know Scott, my real father was Satan himself. He was a drunken wife/child abuser. I left home at 16. I lived under that bridge....... I’ve been shot, stabbed and an attempt to cut my throat all before I was 12 y/o. That my friend was all from my father. If he wasn’t punching my mother in the face he was hitting me........but you know something? I made it! The best way to counter a horrible childhood, is to be successful. I don’t carry on about that crap. There’s nothing I can do about it now. The way I deal with it is I say “ I was the chosen one” I was chosen to take that abuse because I was strong enough to break that chain of violence. I’ve never hit my wife or my children. I don’t know about you, but pain is NOT a method of learning.......what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger!!
