Rear tire kept going flat on the Harley . Took it off no nails or holes but it was leaking from the rim lip and only on one side. Was going to just pop the bead and clean up the aluminum but noticed the tire was made 3rd week of 2015 . So a new tire was in order . Front was 2019

Thought I posted this in the what did you do not on your truck thread

My soaking wet Corgi. You CANNOT water the yard without her attacking the hose. Crazy dog.



That bean bag chair looking thing is my big dogs bed. I tripped over it the other night and took an unexpected flight into the door jam.. Then the wall... Then the floor.

A word of advise... Don't do that. It hurts.

Is that the dog from Vegas? Show Dog!

I never watched Vegas. I got married there once. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

Coco could be a show dog. But I'm way too lazy for that. She has a pedigree and all that. It's around here someplace. I don't know.

She's a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She fears nothing and you would be surprised how fast she can run and how high she can jump with those stubby legs. She can jump on to the kitchen counter. I was sitting at the counter on my laptop and this dog came out of nowhere and slid across the counter and darn near knocked my laptop on the floor.

They race them. My money's on the tan and white one.



Here's a random photo of my Tarantula.

I'm glad you found a job so fast. Cudos for sticking up for the kid.

[Stocker]

Sounds like a happy ending that came around much faster than expected.

Popped a meter lid at work this morning to this greeting me. Biggest one I’ve seen in a while.

thanks Dale!
how the heck is a guy supposed to get experience if no one shows them and lets them do the actual work...everyone was a noob at one time when they started their job and usually screwed up once or twice...plus i don't mind the kid, he reminds me of my son.

things got even better Stocker. just got back from my orientation.
for anybody ever leaving a job, never burn your bridges when leaving.
even though i haven't worked for this guy since the '90's, we parted on good terms, and it came back in spades today.
he is paying me MORE than my last boss, giving me a new 5 ton and wants me to be his "troubleshooter". also get much better travel time as well.
ya, yesterday i was on a big downer over all this, but now i'm back on the clouds and feeling good!
it's a scary feeling not having a job or paycheck coming in...

Congratulations, sometimes a negative becomes a big @$$ positive!

Maybe next time you take a picture like this you could put your finger right next to it, you know, for scale.

Not particularly random, but seems like a good place to post. Took my sons down to the then under construction site of the new Seattle Mariners ball park. They fought it all the way haha. But now its a pretty cool pic considering the park was opened in 1999, and we were lucky enough to go to the first game ever there. My sons will be 40 and 41 this year. My guess is this place is going to be here a long time. Something cool for them to look back on. I believe where they are standing would be home plate side.

EDIT: Added a pic of it now ... Well now its called T-Mobile. I hate the constant name changing of ball parks. This is the area where they were standing.

That's pretty cool CG. It's pretty cool to look back when our kids were growing up.

I never got that kind of behavior treating a new hire like crap from the get-go. I figure it's insecurity. I have always treated any help as a piece of the rock with the opportunity to improve... by ME teaching them anything I can. I know that is what is best for me. I'm selfish like that, I guess . I guess I'd also enjoy my days at work with buddies than spend the day with a bunch of toxic a-holes.

Your "old" boss shouldn't have required your apology. I bet he's wishing that he hadn't now. The way I see it he should have had that guy apologize to you for making you have to hit him. One and done is a fool's way. How long did you work there? Was this a repeat problem? I know both answers, a long time and no!

Hey, that's not random. We've had a whole string of pictures of dad's taking their sons to the construction site of their future baseball team stadium... NOT! And I'm just kidding. The picture is a great (random) contribution along with the story. Really cool you did that and have that picture now

Agreed. Way back when I was learning the ropes, some guys had knowledge they refused to share with the new guy. That attitude never made sense to me. After I learned a few things, I would gladly pass it along to anyone who would listen. I figured if others were able to do things themselves without pestering someone else (like me), my job just became that much easier.

I moved into management at a young age, and I was very blessed to have three great mentors in my early years.

I always strived to train / develop people to be able to take my job. I never wanted a boss to tell me I couldn't be promoted because no one was ready to fulfil my roll. I encouraged those I was training to look beyond me to enhance their learning. If I kept my mind open, I often learned from them. That philosophy never backfired on me.

For managers that reported to me, my highest priority for them was to make a damned decision. I was / am more likely to "counsel" somebody if they don't make a decision than if they make a wrong one. Decisions, good and bad, are great learning experiences. I don't have a lot of patience for people that don't have any B A double "Ls".

Two random phone booths I have come across over the years on the side of county roads. One in southern IL and one in the mountains of VA.

Anyone old enough to recall a pay phone?
