Ooooh, now is your chance to see if you can make a smoker out of the old water tank.

Well I might shoot it up.

(I like to give things some wear and tear)

But I think it’s under warranty so they’ll prolly need to see it and swap it out. At least we have heat - just no hot water.

Could be worse.

 

[Wonderer67]

Once in a while.... and water is not running....yeah I will get someone in here to figure it out.... thanks for talking through it....

We’ve had this happen. It was a pretty quick and inexpensive fix. As dkak said, we had an old plumber butt dude come by and made the fix pretty quickly.

It’ll work out!

So today did not disappoint. Between this morning's post and now, we had a training session for a new thing we're doing at work, and every time I asked the person a question someone on my team would answer it. And preface it was saying what K means is.. I don't need you to interpret for me I speak English and so do they. So annoying. Then, long story short, at our Festival last year we had a vendor who was asking minors if they had their periods yet, if they were sexually active, told him they were going to hell, Etc. I didn't find out about it until after the festival was over. When I did find out about it, I banned him, removed him from invites anything. He is not allowed to come back. Well last week we get an application and a check from him using last year's application he just copied and filled it in. So I sent a response letter to him that unfortunately we weren't able to extend an invitation because we had some complaints about his booth. Well he called me today because he had my phone number from last year's information. He asked me if I was Christian and threatening manner he said he had people that he could bring in to deal with this where he was. He wanted specific examples, and I just wasn't comfortable with that especially after the whole I have people comment. So I referred him to the Village offices. And he can talk to the mayor who is the boss of all of this. It was awful. I told him I wasn't going to get into particulars with him and he needed to call the village office and left it at that.. I don't want to get the village in trouble I will let the mayor take care of it. The guy just needs to go away. The mayor is not one to be messed with. I did manage to make my bed and I'm going to go mop my floors here in a minute to make me feel like I have some control over my life. Hahaha oh Lord

Sounds like a day.

Work is just work. We gotta do it.

And fuck that guy from the festival. Self righteous asshole. It’s these self righteous holy rollers that are the biggest hypocrites.

We gotta ya.

He is scary..... I hope to God he doesn't find out where I live or work.... but I carry a 9mm and I rarely answer the door unless I know you. Who in the hell thinks it is ok to ask minors those questions.

 

[Wonderer67]

What is a forestry inspection?

It’s for our farm. It shows that we have woods and “farm” it for firewood so that we get a farm tax exemption.

It has all of the details minimum amounts we need to sell for firewood. And how and what invasive trees we need to get rid of and what to plant in their place.

The forrester is a character. Vietnam vet, old hippie. Has the perfect Nj accent. Nicest guy. EVERY TIME I see him, he thinks I was in Vietnam too (do I look THAT old??) I remind him that it was sometime after that! I was born during the Vietnam war!

He puts your village in legal jeapardy by asking those questions. COMPLETELY inappropriate.

Night everyone!!

Nite OM. Sleep well!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Sounds like it’s been a helluva week.

But you’re doing the right things to get things unfucked.

This is the Tecknickel Term for what Wat has been doing for half the week.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Well that is a relief.. I keep trying to think how a sparky breaks a sprinkler head..... hmm

By climbing into an attic he was expressly forbidden to enter and then stepping onto the fucking fragile 30YO CPVC (brittle plastic) sprinkler line.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

A regroup day sounds like a good idea.
Oh man ...just follow the instructions.... why do stupid people try to think for themselves
Tdk is probably getting ready for dad to come home .... and planning all methods of stalking she will do when you arrive.....

I still didn't get out of there until almost 5PM. I know, go figure. So much for gone after lunch.


I tell the dumbest ones, "if I wanted it done your way, I would have told you to do whatever shit-fer-brainz assfuckery you want to do and NOT give you specific motherfucking instructions."


I guess it's a win because I didn't have a heart attack over it.

Ahh...got it.... glad that is all worked out... your little stretch of woods will be healthier for the care you give it... culling dead trees etc...

Yep.... that is why I kept my mouth shut and told him to call the village office...
Jason is familiar with this stuff and isn't gonna be pushed around.... we have a lawyer if necessary..... if he knows what is good for him he will just go away

I qm going to remember this the next time I have a problem with people doing dumb stuff.... I may not be able to say it but it may prevent violence.... because I will be laughing on the inside

This totally made me laugh because I can just hear you saying it..... and the stupid looks on their faces....

 

[Missk_2022]

@Wat_Tyler now a more important question.
How are the babies
Did tdk come running to see dad and ethyl casually stroll and stare imperiously at you from her throne. Panther peek at you from under the bed and geezer miss the whole thing?

getting caught up as i wind down for the night...

Time to nip this Toxic Paraphrasing in the butt if you ask me. Hmm, maybe as AI to come up w/ something... tactful as I'm all out and ready to rumble these fools

Please tell me you reported him? Maybe he's all bark and no bite, but why take the chance?

Positive: had a forestry inspection today and passed with flying colors.

Negative: when we went to the basement this morning, there was water all over the floor. While we are away, I think our water heater went bad. I did notice a couple of weird noises last night when the furnace kicked on. It all runs off the same system and sure enough, the water heater went bad.

Hopefully fixed early next week.

Positive: Woo-Hoo!! You've put in a lot of hours and hard work getting your forestry plan put together and into action. Congratulations!!

He is scary..... I hope to God he doesn't find out where I live or work.... but I carry a 9mm and I rarely answer the door unless I know you. Who in the hell thinks it is ok to ask minors those questions.

Check with your local law enforcement to see what protections are available to you. We had some where certain public employees could submit a form to request any license plate searches return the government center address instead of the employee's home address.
Take care and be safe

Maybe he's looking for a kindred spirit and the service details are just a bit fuzzy?? Sounds like a fun hang. I'll keep him in mind for a return trip.

This is the Tecknickel Term for what Wat has been doing for half the week.

Paradox of choice... so why choose??

Well what a dumb ass.....

understatement IMO

Like these

Exactly, Rj!!!

Sweet Dreams everyone... tomorrow is another day
one hopefully without work for many/most of us

 

[Lilianna23]

I didn't need that hammer after all. I got a solid 8 hours last night.

I don't think I said but, I started my new job Monday. Admin junk that day and Tuesday.
Today was learning local routes. Tomorrow and Friday I get behind the wheel.

I don't yet know what my schedule will be for next week or if I will work thru the weekend. My schedule will wind up being F-M with the middle of each week off.

At least I have my foot in the door. It seems they have a promote from within culture so maybe I can get out of the truck that way.

How was your first week?

 

[Lilianna23]

Finished yesterday and mailing two checks state and federal...

I'm glad I live in a no income tax state. The politicians keep trying to pass one but the electorate isn't having it!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am getting a refund...whoop whoop

 

[Lilianna23]

We got a nice early flight out tomorrow. My bosses husband is a pilot and he said an early flight usually means that the plane is there - always a good thing.

So we fly home tomrrow. We would’ve just spent tomorrow inside the RV watching the water rise - we were only about 20 feet from the river so it seem prudent to split, given that they were gonna get 5 -8” of rain down there.

Hehe I said 5-8 inches… hehehe.

Gotta say, even though our vacation was cut short, it was good to get some nice warm weather for a few days.

I hope you had a safe trip home and are now tucked up in your own bed!
