TSCLT 7.0: Hemis, Harleys, Hooters-n-Harridans

[Wat_Tyler]

We gots the morning drippie-drops for another hour or so until this bit of storm blows out, thanks be to Allah. It's be mostly cloudy after that, but some sun.


And some two-wheel gettin' around.


This kid - he's 40 - is the kind of guy you'd like to buy for what he's worth and sell for what he thinks - or acts like - he's worth.


I won't spend those profits just yet, however.

 

[Saint Peter]

Was he hired on the cheap?

You get what you pay for.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

This morning, we light the josh for:


The mentee's dad in the hospital with some kind of blockage
A friend who is undergoing some Life difficulties
The folks on the jobsite doing poorly
The folks Wat wants to kill but hasn't
And people who suffer needlessly through no doings on their part

 

[SpeareChucker]

...


I'm still on the same job. I had to move out of my living quarters - notice tendered and word kept. I'll be back, and back to the motel. This job still has a couple of weeks left in its prognosis.


The weather is supposed to be good tomorrow and Sunday, so HfD . . . .

Jesus H. Christ Wat, are you sure that you have not died and are actually living in Lago???

Treat yourself. Find a suite. Fuck that one-room bullshit.

Bring a cat. They like chasing josh smoke. No?

 

[Saint Peter]

Yet last week a 30 year journeyman turned in a beautiful machined aluminum part. Tons of features and tight tolerances.

Unfortunately it should have been milled out of oxygen free copper.

 

[SpeareChucker]

What a memorial morning.
Josh is good, Buddha is compassionate.

She's another one who had me at the eyes...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

On the phone.


In the shower.


So much to do, so the doing gets going. Tonight, a friend is in town from Up Nawth, so that will be nice.


The morning duties commence . . . .

 

[SpeareChucker]

You don't need to inform us of your every morning dootie...



I had one too,
thank you!




It does suck that such a black cloud is following you.

Can I say that? "Black" cloud?

 

[bellisarius]

Well, I put on my shoes. Then I tied them.

And then,

And THEN

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I haven't said "shit" all morning, until then. Oh wait, I may have said "bullshit," and that counts.


Besides, thems was duties, not dooties.


I wore the cowboy boots so there warn't no tyin'.


Maybe the easier thing to do would be to move out what I want-n- plan to keep and then burn down the house with the rest of the crap in it . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

 

[bellisarius]

T'Storm's be brewin' up out there. As long as the power doesn't go I'm good.

I have a suggestion Wat, hire the wire stretcher you got on the current job to do some wiring on your house. That way when it goes up in flames it'll either look like an accident or you can nail him for arson.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I struggle to be around him and not want to kill him.


No, I want to kill him whether I'm around him or not.


So, to have him even know where I live would mean that I'm required to kill him.


Now, if he were to die in the fire . . . we might be onto something there . . . .

 

[bellisarius]

Oh well. But yeah, arranging an immolation AND and electrocution simultaneously would be a tough one to pull off.

 

[Endrura]

Oil floats on water, it might be as difficult as you think Bellisarius

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Never misunderestimate the Wats of the world. Evil and cunning, watchwords to live by for them.


The Saturday night crew was its usual lively self. A good time was had, thanks be to Allah.


The woman whose dad is in the hospital isn't as bad off as they thought previously. He's got to get a stent, but could be so much worse. They let him go home until then.


Speaking of being at home . . . .

 

[bellisarius]

Good morning.

A yard work day is in the works for today. expunging the last of residue from last fall and winter.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Sunday!!!


Slept in a bit. Sieving through the bills while the coffee was brewing. Dripping. Whatever it does. Personal property taxes are due next week. It's always something.


Thanks be to Allah that we can have personal property to tax and the shekels to pay for it.


And coffee to drink while hatching plots . . . .

 

[SpeareChucker]

Thunderstorms last night with a brief loss of power; maybe a whole 90 seconds.
It still looks gray this morning and I will have to drain some of the water out of the pool.


I need for my coffee to set in.
I need for this freaking dachshund to get a life.

She's driving me crazy because
she's bored and hyper;
bad combination.

 

[SpeareChucker]

I am opposed to property taxes as much as I am income taxes.
All they do is punish success and help keep the poor in hock.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Basically, if you take pub(l)ic transportation and don't own a vehicle, you pay none.


Except you get arse-raped on the bus fares.


Your giant flat-screen, however, is yours to watch for free, PPT-wise.


Freedom ain't free . . . .

I don't have the best internal Compass but I drive so much that there's an awful lot of landmarks that trigger my mind to know more or less which direction I'm headed. I'm out in the Hinterlands and I took a gander at the map and determine that I needed to go about 3 miles north and then head West to hit the freeway.

So that actually thinking about it I count it off about 3 Mi hung a left turn and headed west. I'm heading west I'm heading west I'm heading west and it seems like it's becoming less populous instead of more populous finally I looked at the map to determine that instead of going north and then West I'd actually gone South and then East which now puts me Way Off the Mark.

Normally at this time I would take a nap but I'm not actually tired. I kind of wish I could take a nap right now because I can log that in the Rob stalks Que's sleep cycles thread.

At this stoplight I checked my progress and I am going in the correct direction but in my head I was heading north again and only this time I was going east apparently at some point I decided to go east and north rather than north than East which accomplishes the same thing but the point is I still haven't readjusted my internal compass

 

[SpeareChucker]

Sorry it's not only imbedded in the fare, but in the taxpayer subsidies.

Same with renting. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean
that the landlord is just paying the tax out of his "profits.'

We have debunked that fallacy to death.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Where I grew up, there were no landmarks to speak of, but hey, when you can see 30 miles on a good day...

And yes, all directions looked alike.

Is that directionist?

 

[bellisarius]

I think hes talking about personal property tax Chucker. A whole different animal that one. Not the same as real property taxes.
