    Good for him. Trying to make even more money as jobs were lost at 150 stores. Most CEO’s should take “the leap”.

    Also the fat driver that just left the restroom without washing his hands and went straight to roller grill. Got no use for him either. I hope he trips over his untied boots.

    I really dislike people. @Dave_in_AZ is doing it right. Just him and the kitty.

    Yeah, Dozer spends half the hours you are charged for, running backwards with the the blade in the air. Wasteful..
    Now a dragline, that's efficient. Gravity offers free energy for the bucket dump,return.

    I remember going with my dad at under 6, (had not started school) to his work on grading MS10 (now MS50) out of West Point westward.
    Do not remember the turn around point; but out, stop eat from lunch boxes, come back to State Shed. Adams leaning wheel grader, Allis Chalmers gas burning crawler. Great big old chain. Pete Echrode on the crawler; up in the road, daddy had us down in the ditches pulling them clean, me leaning to keep from falling off. The term; "Pullin ditches" seems to be unknown on our county roads in MS now.
    And that old AC cranked right off the front of crankshaft pulley. Magneto, jerk crank up, or kick back would HURT you.

    We're always on the prowl for a qualified catwoman.

    Pretty disappointed in this pair of Pumas.

    Worn a hole in the toe of the left one already, and a hole through the padding where your foot makes contact before your toes.

    The old Nikes had hundreds and hundred, maybe over a thousand miles on them.

    Obviously shoes made with child slave labor during the sham are not even the same quality as those made pre-sham.

    Next time you are in town, go by the blacksmith shop. Take a look at the device he uses to rest a hoof on,make you one.
    Kudos to your wife, smart to let you catch her 43 years ago. "Folks that shoe together, stay together?"

    @Opus are you body shaming the OM?
    Brave man.

    One does notice, that the svelte figure of youth has faded.

    Nail kegs and cheap throw pillow for cushions. Won't stay too long if I'm losing...

    I deliver to Sams Club stores a lot. Overnight runs and unload as soon as they start receiving (4AM) unless there is only one dock or a WM driver is there. Since this is my last week I am taking it easy. Took a daytime run. Loaded 2 hours early. Showed up 3 hours early to the store. They won’t unload early. My expected short day just got lengthened.
