Good Day
Old and sore and this is short, but for a Tuesday…
That’s it. That’s the post.

The Weekend Is Coming
The weekend is coming, and it’s going to be the rare long one. I’m seriously considering getting the family up on Saturday and taking a day trip up to the BRP.
I checked the card on one of my cameras and found this video of Bridal Veil Falls. I was thinking about the mountains today before doing that.
I news the cool air. I need to stand on a mountain.
That’s it. That’s the post.

Sam: Day Out Pt. 2
I guess this is an extension to what I write every day. It’s personal without being personal. I don’t know if that makes sense. This is my outlet. Just trying to catch any new followers up with what this is about.
Knowing I had to go pick up those packages yesterday, I did some prior proper planning and asked my don, Sam, if he wanted to ride with me several days before. Rock Hill means one thing to him, Joeβs Classic Video Games.
My son is an avid collector of video games. It’s his passion if a twelve-year-old can have a passion. He collects older consoles as well. His oldest one being a Nintendo Game Cube (that will probably make a few who read this feel old.) The Game Cube is ancient tech to him.
So we rode together yesterday and were gone half the day. It was great!
When it’s just me and him we can just be guys. I’ve missed a lot of his school stuff this year. Awards, performances, Beta Club induction to name a few and this saddens me.
We talked about it a couple of nights ago, and he understands. But he shouldn’t have to. I should be there. Always.
Today is Sunday. We’ve rested and are preparing for another week.
Knives sharpened, nails trimmed (I consider them tools and weapons), and neat. Packed out the EDC bag. I probably carry too much but…
If you stay ready you don’t have to get ready.
That’s it. That’s the post.

7P: Day Out Pt. 1
I’ve been working since Sunday. Today I had to drive to Rock Hill, SC (an hour and some change away) to pick up some packages for a couple of activities that needed completing this week.
Someone at home office didn’t plan well enough.
I’m one man with four stores. These four stores are spread over a reasonably wide area. One is only thirty minutes from home. The other three are an hour plus driving time from me. The FedEx location I was picking up the packages from is forty-five minutes in the opposite direction on the other side of the store closest to me.
Add to this that our work schedules were packed out entirely this week.
You see my problem?
Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
At least a nearly fifty-six-hour work week is over.
I’m not complaining. It’s good money. We need support in the field and proper planning, though.
That’s it. That’s the post.

SHE
She did well last night: some chills but no fever. Understandably sore. She taking a round of steroids to help counteract the effects of the shot.
I’m relieved.
She’s most of my world, you see. Sure there are the kids. I would continue. But Iβd be lost without her.
πππ πππππβπ ππππ ππ’ πππππππ ππ ππππ ππππ ππ ππ ππππ ππ πππ πππππππ π πππ ππππ.
She may never see this.
We’re watching Morbius tonight. I’m enjoying it. I love the second string (?) characters getting their screen time. There are so many stories to tell in the Marvel and DC universes.
I’m out with Sam in the morning. I have to pick up some packages for work, but I’m making it a day out for him and me. It’s been a while. Looks like we’re headed to Joeβs.
Who knows where else?
That’s it. That’s the post.

Concerned
Mags took her booster shot today for the Covid vaccine. A requirement to keep her job.
This troubles me, of course.
B, although he had significant health problems, took the jab, and it was a heart attack that took him. D, another person close to me, also took the jab. He had a heart attack about two weeks ago.
YOU CAN SEE WHY IβM CONCERNED!
It reached 97Β°-99Β° here today. I watched a lot of people walking around in masks in the heat. I can’t help but think what fools these people are. This push for fear seems to be contributing to mental illness or, at the very least, preys upon the minds of the weak.
At least they’re easy to spot now.
That’s it. That’s the post.

Heat
It’s getting hot here in the afternoons. For me it’s uncomfortably warm. Summer is coming. I like the cooler weather.
I took this one morning last September on the way to work. I don’t want to wish my time away, but I already want the cooler weather.
That’s it. That’s the post.

Pile It On
I started early this week working on Sunday. Today the scheduler piled more activities on my already packed schedule, and I know this can’t continue. I can’t continue doing it. Something has to give.
And it looks like something is trying to. I have more small problems with this truck, and it’s only love that’s keeping us together. I think there’s a song about that.
Crap.
I think it’s a short or possibly a bad fuse. Hopefully, nothing more difficult. But the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) method is best. Start at the easy end and work your way to more complex.
It seems to have corrected itself for now, and nothing else seems wrong. No leaks. The oil level is good. The temp is good.
Probably nothing. Maybe something.
Bruce is old and temperamental. Hence the name.
It’s just one more thing in an already hectic week.
Pile it on.
That’s it. That’s the post.

Tension
I don’t kike going to places where the employees and management are at odds. I have a stop like that, and you can feel the tension in the air. You can taste it.
Add onto that certain other tensions, and it’s not a pleasant working environment.
I keep my head down and roll on. I have friends at this store. I feel for them.
Tomorrow I get to visit my two favorite stores and some of my favorite people. Work sucks but you make it fun, and you’ll have fun.
I’m going to focus on that.
Short tonight but that was on my mind.
That’s it. That’s the post.

Rollinβ
βWe have a lot to do at work this weekβ¦β
Which means I have a lot to do on my own as I have no help.
Iβm not going to complain or mention it to the boss. He had a significant health problem pop up last week. Some might say it could be heart-stopping.
He always has my back, so I always have his.
I slept in till 7 AM this morning. Sleeping in isn’t unusual on a Sunday for me. I know some of you are probably thinking, sleeping in!? 7 AM?! On a Sunday?!
Well, sometimes I allow myself to be lazy.
I rolled out of bed and synced the work phone, and found out my hours are way up from the last couple of weeksβtime to get back to the heavy lifting and take care of business. Most of my days this week are scheduled for 10+ hours. Some being 13-hour days. That I cannot do.
So I went in for a half-day today to work a store to around 80% completion. No huge activities, just the usual business. This way, Iβll be able to come back around to resets later in the week. There was no one there to print mods and labels anyway. They should have been printed last week but someone doesn’t want to listen. You can’t help some folk.
I’m going to be seeing that view a lot this week. But it will be okay. I can get mad or I can get done.
I prefer done.
That’s it. That’s the post.
