TSCLT 12.0: The pantheon hates a pussy 2.0

[Wat_Tyler]

I was going to sell some salvage windows from the other job. Called the s000per there to ask about picking some up. We had "agreed" to do this, 50-50. He hasn't returned my calls in 2 weeks. Seems he tossed them. He couldn't even let me know . . . .

We had our walkabout thingie with the new-to-me woman construction control officer.


She rides a HfD.


We'll get along fine.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Came home. Went back out to take J to supper. We had a nice visit.


Still haven't been second-guessed.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Thursday!!! Slept decently enough. Kinda tired, but that seems to happen this time of week. This in spite of the fact that Wat ain't gettin' run to death. Oh well.


Not warming up much today. Must be Glowball Warming at work. Like that ice blast we had last Xmas. Yeah, that's the ticket.


Josh. Coffee.

My joints hurt this morning. I go to the VA at the end of the month for my semi-annual tune-up, so I'll have to ask the quack what's up with that. Just getting old I suppose. Quickly approaching 60 trips around the sun, and from what I can gather, that's the trigger number for no longer being upper middle-aged.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

"Is the new" knocks 20 years off any age.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Speaking of getting old: December 1 I should get my first retirement check. I haven't had a regular paycheck in over 20 years. I'm all aquiver with anticipation at the prospect of knowing how much money will be coming in every month. I renewed my office lease for another year though, so I suppose I'll stay in business for one more winter, then I'm done. I'll winter on the gulf coast, south of Tampa (exact location TBD), and summer here on Savage Mountain.

I did something dumb today. I read the news. You think by now I would be past wanting to read such bad fiction but before coffee we all make mistakes.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Dayum, talk about some White Girl problems!!! The retirement thing, not the news. The news is a serious problem. Don't let that shit happen again. Fuck the news and everyone in it and involved with it. Like, prison rape fuck 'em.


So, Lit server issues. Since manglement is so intense about enforcing the 18-and-over rule, when Manu(re) gets a new hamster to run his "servers," in case its age comes up, it, too, must be at least 18. Problem is, hamsters have a life expectancy of about a third of that. So I think we have discovered the root of the problem.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Maybe next time, we can catch a fat ground hog and trick him into thinking that it's S000per Hamster.


Maybe ground hogs live longer . . . .

 

[Inflation999]

We need a turtle! They live well past that and have the attitudes to deal with things around here.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Hmmm, maybe.


I have a Turtle. That's the kitten's name, tortoise-shell girl that she is. Maybe not the most original, but I had a Turtle once upon a time and I feel that I may have unfinished business there.


Home. Gonna warm something here in a bit.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Didn't a guinea pig come up once in conversation as being a hamster substitute?


Fuck me running if I'm searching that out . . . .

 

[thør]

I'm told they are good eating.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I would imagine that the Manu(re)s are vegetarian/vegan.


Happy Friday!!! Slept okay. Inside cats have eaten and are quiet. Not that warm again today, either. I may not have any helpers today. What, no weasels? I know, shocking.


At least there's coffee . . . .

 

[Inflation999]

There is a type of guinea pig in south america that is much larger than the ones we keep as pets. One of my boys had a guinea pig once, she lived to be about six years old and was a smart little bugger. I miss her sometimes, she liked to snuggle and learned to sleep through the night which is rare since they are nocturnal. We've had all manners of critters around here at different times, even a frog that no one admitted to bring in and stayed in one of the old aquariums for about three years. I draw the line at eight legged freaks though.

 

[thør]

Yeah, the Aubrey–Maturin series was where I read about folks eating a lot of guinea pigs in south america.

LOL, the oil loading berths in Valdez are numbered 1, 3, 4, & 5. Berth 2 was never built.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Home early. I had no one on site today. The dumpster driver woman brought me my can back this morning. Seems her cover rig arm broke, and being the responsible driver she is, she took it in to get it fixed as soon as she discovered it. You know, instead of taking it in sometime in June and cussing the truck for being a piece of fuckin' shit. Like Litlibs would do - if we could get them to have jobs. I told her I was kinda worried about her. I might almost have got hugged.


Went and bought a pole saw. And a file to sharpen its wee chain. For $700, it had best cut like a greased motherfucker.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Got some lunch and a wee nap. Spent a few minutes with teh kittehs. Fired up the new pole saw and tried it out. Not too heavy and it really cuts. Took some shit down and then hauled it to the alley. May need some help with much more of it. The new neighbor said he would. Ran the mower and cut some grass. Tidied up and went to see the Friday Night crew. Home.


Tomorrow, Dr. Tyler goes to breakfast . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Saturday!!! Slept pretty well. Up and sort of about this morning. Inside cats have eaten, dishes are washed and draining, and not putting themselves away. They never do, damn them. We'll probably make a bit of headway on the laundry here in a bit.


Looks like a mostly cloudy day and a bit warmer. It should be good for working in the yard. After the Breakfast Run, of course.


Which will be after coffee, of course.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Lovely day out there.

 

[thør]

Weasel.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Sunday!!! Slept okay. That wasn't a surprise after a fairly busy afternoon yesterday. There's a bit left in the yard to knock out - finishing up the grass and moving some equipment about. I still have a fence post to remove and the new gate/mailbox post to install. So that all could be completed today.


And it's Shooping Day (thank you, Lisa Douglas). After coffee, of course.
