    I join the PD at 21 (made $17900 working a beat), and my Sgt had extra work gigs which paid lots more than the beat. Some driving, some guard duty, some private security. Got in trouble on the beat and ended up suspended and I went trucking.

    Mom caught cancer and I came off the road to help her out. Still had my contacts and I was able to work for a guy that ran 8 high end hotels around the country. Decent gig. If a VIP was coming into a hotel or wanted stay in an area and do the tourist thing, the boss would have a couple guys to take care of them. When the VIPs are hot, they usually had their own security. We had to work with their security. Many times, their security was headed up by a groupie or a cousin or a childhood friend of the VIP. That was almost always a disaster. I’m not screening your girls. I’m not finding you any drugs. I am not covering for anyone. Either you want the floor locked down or you don’t.

    Some time, some VIP would want to do the tourist thing. We’d go to the rental and pick up a car. Like, if you were in Reno, but want to see Take Tahoe or the redwoods. Grab a car, pack a bag and take the VIP sightseeing. Roger Whitaker comes to mind.

    Had to pick Jamie Farr up at the airport. MASH hadn’t been off TV for too long and I was expecting Corporal Klinger. Completely different guy in real life.

    Once I had to watch out for this VIP, this lady who was the supreme high priestess of the Ba Hai Faith. She flew in, and I had to be her errand boy while she constantly told me that I was a racist. She was there to marry the children of a couple fat cat families and she was supposed to be someone of great importance. How important could she be? Until she told me, I had never heard of a Ba Hai. Oh well.

    Quit a little early today. Toilet flange install, floor heat mudded in and finished the cat door to his new litter box room. Made a Home Depot run for a few miscellaneous items. Wife baking cookies as we speak. 5E62D245-5BA3-43FF-814D-8868EB1B3F73.jpeg 9AFD838C-7617-445A-BC6B-683D410864C3.jpeg BF355724-BBA2-4B00-BD85-8465CB20FC19.jpeg ADF8D0BF-0643-4509-A314-685A001F889A.jpeg

    I don't know you and I'm not passing judgment, but how do you empty said litterbox? Surely you don't fit thru that tiny little door? Or do you just give the cat it's own room and, when it's full, sell the house? I'm confused....

    Lol

    I live in an old commercial office building. That room is accessed from the hallway outside our “home” it used d to be a storage room shared with my tool / building room. Keeps the cat mess somewhere else besides the spare bedroom or laundry room. I hate that cat. 82DFAF08-8C65-40B7-A114-CF1DEAF8649B.jpeg 97452B8A-5C1D-4936-8051-D0B0E8706C6E.jpeg
