Now that it’s fall most of the insects are in hibernation or something. Fall and winter keeps them down. Spring and summer are the worst…bug wise.

Spent the afternoon with my welders. Making progress on a project I started a year ago. When it is all said and done I’ll have a new bumper for my pickup.

The world needs more welders and less marketing reps and lawyers...said a wise man.

Preach - I'll never date another lawyer. I'd be tickled for a guy who can "do stuff" and I don't mean a guy who has a list of contractors and tradesmen he pays to do things.

Old frat boys never die - they just become marketing reps!!

I spent 25 yrs in a technician role which meant I did real actual hands on work. Not as blue collar as such, but blue collar enough.

Now, I just push around paperwork and while it's a promotion of sorts I feel like a board with **** to quote an old school phrase.

I see the value of the working man as i've straddled both sides of the quation.

People who make this country run in the day to day terms will forever impress me more than some asshat in a three piece suit.

I'm sort of working on getting into that next level of management but it is sort of with my disdain for it.

Damn right. They make the world go round. Last weekend it was replacing a brake caliper on my pickup. THis weekend the bumper.

I was out to lunch with some friends the other day. They have a two car garage and a lot more room than me. He was prattling on about how he doesn’t have any room. Dude, I have a one stall garage that has exceeded critical mass.

As much as we rag on attorneys. They are useful and necessary. Of course 99 percent of them give the rest a bad name.

Isn’t anything like a man who is good with his hands . . . and things.

I had to go out this morning while it was still dark. (The older I get, the more difficult it is to roll out from under warm blankets before sunrise.) I was driving along and came up on a GFL trash truck with no lights (not even marker lights) on the back of the truck. He went into a subdivision, so I followed him until he stopped. When he got out, I told him that he had no lights in the back (his headlights were on, so I assumed he didn’t realize that the others were out). His response was, “Yeah, I know.”

Well, keep driving then. I’m sure GFL was enough insurance for a lawsuit.

All I can say is: Wow.

We are employing the services of one right now, and I will be eternally grateful for her expertise.

Also, just using the phrase "our attorney" is fun: "We'll have our attorney contact you."
