Not bad, not great,,, Hard to hit that ‘Four-tee’ in 4 day work weeks. At least without starting in zero dark and working to can’t see. Bossman and Son do not encourage that. I’ve done it, but the project demanded it. Most do not.
One of the little things behind the scenes here at the Shop, is a ‘time cache’ that pops into my notifications every day. It links to stuff I wrote over the last few years ‘on this day’. Interestingly, every year for the last 5 had a post about ‘cooling weather’ on Sept 23rd.
Naw, this isn’t a normal cycle, too many strange things this year,,, except, yah, it IS normal.
Water was turned on today. Tech that came out called me, asking if I could go the trailer and check. Said that someone had turned the water on. I came back up the hill for a few minutes and ‘nope, no pressure’. So he cranked the valve all the way open, called me back and asked again. (note: meter is 440′ from trailer, and 35′ lower on hillside) NOW there is water pressure. So, someone had come out and gave the valve a tweak, but not enough to push up that hill and that distance through 1″ pipe. Don’t give a hoot so long as the water turns on when I twist a spigot.
So tonight, I’m washing comforters. Gonna be a couple loads worth. Yup, boring silly domestics shit. Guess what. I’d rather that than a bunch of drama. See too much of that elsewhere. Let me have my little bit of peace and quiet on the hill.
Kinda shocked by something too. Bad Cuz GF flagged me down on the way home. Asked if I could sharpen thier splitting maul. (what the hell, take only a minute or so.) And while I was doing that, she of course wouldn’t shut her mouth,, gotta gossip about this and that and everything. BUT,,, Found out Bad Cuz had a copy of Wings (first edition before the changed ending was published) and that he loved it. She said he only put it down twice while reading it, and read it in just a couple of days.
Wait! Whu??? He READS??? Holy Cheapwhips,,, Never knew. Asked him what he thought and “That ending pissed me off” LOL but he was describing things from the book that he said grabbed him up, made him forget he was actually reading a book and could see them in his head. I had no clue the man was that literate, I won’t lie.
Still don’t trust him,,, he’s done dirty for far too long to be trustworthy, but it did make me do a double take on him.
I remain civil, and a little enlightened that he ain’t as ‘idjit’ as I thought, and maybe even a little more wary as he may actually have some thinks upstairs, but not ones that are wired for ‘goodness’.
She’s still a dumb gossipy twit with light fingers. My opinion of her hasn’t shifted one nanometer.
Life goes on, season change, but people don’t really: do they? They may go through cycles of change, but the base model they picked up in childhood seems locked in place (without hard core effort and dedicated drive.) I’m just as guilty. Never liked crowds, don’t like groups larger than three (tolerate, but don’t like.). I’ve been the one that might talk your ear off, given the right subject matter, or clam up tighter than A Politician on the stand. I tend to open up here in the shop, but in real life, IF I open up, its because I have given you a trust, and that trust is not given lightly. Don’t blow it!!! (in my little world, trust lost is NEVER regained. You screw me over, I may not act offended, but you will be cut loose, and never given another chance.) Such as Bad Cuz and GF. They moved up here and I gave them a chance: they both blew it in under a year and now, I only give the enough rope to hang themselves. I am watching them.
any-yabberblatz, its the end of the week, a long weekend ahead. And a shortened week next because Da has a Doc thing that is gonna be an all day thing. I’ll manage.
Love y’all.
