My Old Pickup Truck

I have been driving a pickup truck for most of my life, and I’ve had this old Ford F-150 for about 14 years now. The truck comes in so handy – I can always carry what I want in the back, make short runs to the dump and once in a while I have even slept in it. There have been so many people borrowing it to move their stuff from one house to the next, that I can’t even remember how many moves it has done.

The truck is starting to a look a little shabby by now and this morning the door handle broke off when I went to get in it for the commute to my store. It’s a bit of nuisance having to get in the truck from the passenger side. I just hope that door handle doesn’t break off, too. I don’t think I can fit my big behind through the sliding back window to get in it nowadays, even in an emergency.

Free Subs at Jersey Mike’s

There are several good sub shop chains in this area. One of my favorites is the Jersey Mikes Chain. The have a counter guy sliced the deli meats in front of you while you order the food. I like the way they have all the popular dressings put together as “Mike’s Way.” That makes it easy to order the toppings and dressings like I want them.

Today Jersey Mike’s is doing a special give back to the community promotion where they are giving away free subs if you make at least a one dollar donation to the Nashville Predators. Community fund. That’s a bargain!

Rough Morning

Slept late – never heard the alarm. I wonder if it even wen off – it’s a little disturbing to think I didn’t even hear the damn thing and slept right through it. Wonder what chance I have of being awakened by the smoke detector if I don’t even hear the alarm clock go off?

Burritos

There are bags of frozen burritos that are kept in the freezer section of the grocery stores that I love to buy and keep on hand. There is nothing better than a burrito that cooks up in less than two minutes and always tastes good. I like to put a little shredded cheese on top of the burrito during the last 15 seconds of cooking in the microwave. Then when I take it out, I drop a big spoonful of sour cream on top. This quick meal is a great fast lunch or late night snack, and it only costs about 50 cents.

Birthday Party

Happy Birthday

The guys are work want to take me out for a few beers and a little party. I think that sounds pretty good right about now. It’s my birthday and I like the idea of spending it with friends.

Labor Day – No Pay

The Labor Day holiday was supposed to be something nice for all the people who work hard in America. I work damn hard and could use a holiday. The only problem is that I don’t get paid if I don’t work. So a holiday is no good for me unless I’m working and collecting overtime pay. The company has cut out all over time pay, so there you go – it’s not much of a holiday for this working man.

Bad Storms

I was hoping to play some games on the internet tonight, but it looks like we are having some bad storms coming this way. Any time we have thunder and lightning, I turn off the computer and unplug it so that it won’t get zapped. I lost two computers to lightning strikes already and I’m not wanting to go through that again.
