Just heard from Izzy, Jim is doing better, his oxygen level is up and they are encouraged. Not a big update but a huge one just the same.

So I'm at 44 wheels. The guy who sits across from me is gone, so I had two wall guys. My wall guy went to a meeting(I think he's just screwing off) so I'm back to one wall guy. We still have an hour so I might hit 50. That would be nice.

The computer says it's 78 and sunny. I'm gonna walk down to the roll up door in a minute to see it. Even though this is a giant room we work in, sometimes I feel a little claustrophobic since there aren't any windows.

 

Agree 100%! Stock Market hit an all time high yesterday, yet prices continue to surge upward. That does not jive. Rich are getting richer, and Middle and Lower incomes are getting the beat down.

 

That is really great news! Thanks for letting us know.

 

I read online news a few days ago where some administration person said sure, prices are up but so are wages so there's not a problem.

I found the quote:
Jared Bernstein, Council of Economic Advisers chairman:
"real wages and wage growth continue to beat price growth"


I dunno about everyone else, but my wage increases have not been outpacing inflation for quite some time now. This means I have effectively been on a decreasing pay scale for years.

 

JIM, get better soon buddy, we like having you here. Recipes and blurry pics are needed. In the last year, I have gotten just over 12% in raises via union negotiations, but I still thnk that ****'s getting too expensive. Chris, love the family pic.

 

Sorry I forgot to post a picture of the plastic spoon in the jello

 

Thanks Dan, I really appreciate it!

 

YaHooooo - He's back in the saddle! 👍 Great to hear from ya buddy!

 

Alright Jim! Good to have ya back!

 

Sigh. So we have to wonder what color jello.

 

My money is on green.

 

They gave the line about 15%. If they give me my usual 1.5%, I am going to consult my trade union buddies on how to properly drag up and do it.


Excellent.

 

Hey, now I don't feel so bad about my 2.5%. Thanks, John!

Yes I heard the same thing shortly after some administration person exclaimed " I'm not ****'n on your shoes ...it is raining"

I trust in there perception like I enjoy the burn in my ***** from the clap. Are these "Yes" People so brainwashed they believe this ****. F%^K

 

Norm

Looks like the best thing I have seen today,... I will be tempted to emulate and top with some Mint-chip

 

Damn Norm, those look absolutely delicious! 👍

 

Keith - Better than my golf game today.

 

Chris - stop by gitchya one

 

Glad you are off the tee box and "In" the fairway Norm. Happy for you for sure.

Jim - Good to hear from you

 

Watching a classic: ‘The Guns Of Navarone’

 

Great flick, I love all those classic WWII movies!

 

That’s my kinda brownie!


Norm, the movie is good and the book was even better. I’m glad I read the book before seeing the movie, I think it really helped me appreciate it more.

 

Okay Jamesbo! Now I can leave poor Izzy alone.

Good morning everyone.

Slept right to the alarm this morning. Twas nice. Rattled around and got ready to go then took Tiger to Mom's and off I went. Not many people here for overtime, here's me not caring. Finished yesterday with 60 wheels. Nice.

Norm you know the brownie was invented in Chicago.

We are getting a 5% raise starting June 1. Depending on what message the company wants to send at a particular time, we are either outpacing our traffic from before the pandemic, or we are on the way to catching up to traffic from before the pandemic. And then it comes out that the chairman gets $34 million. Seems ****-eyed. Eh, good for him. I think he's a jerk.

Okay time to get ready. Hope everyone has a good day.

 

 

Looks like - Scrambled eggs, French toast bites, oatmeal, and sausage with gravy???

 

Danger will Robinson

 

Danger will Robinson

 

Now that's the Jim we know, the ol double post when one would have sufficed.

To quote "The Who" looks like someone's Going Mobile to me! That's great to see! 👍

 

Well that's an upgrade from jello.

 

Good afternoon guys,

Glad I moved up my schedule for "to do's" today. Weatherman was calling for more rain this afternoon and I really, really needed to get out and mow. Did my workout much earlier than I like to, and then got out to mow about 11am and was done by 1:30. It's 2:40 now and pouring out. Weatherman was actually right for a change.

Gabe has a hockey game tonight that I'm going to. It's time for the new Culver's cruise-in again tomorrow that I'm planning on going to if the weather cooperates, and then a StL Cardinals baseball game on Sunday afternoon. Grandson Keegan's Cub Scout troop will be marching on the field before the game for the National Anthem. We'll be busy.

Hope everyone had a great day and has a great weekend! Jim, I hope you're getting stronger everyday and get to go home soon!

 

Going Mobile is arguably the WORST song on Who's Next, lol.

I picked up an HR complaint. I believe a Japanese person was insulted that I said "baloney" to their claim. So, there's an investigation. I fired back, though. This may get interesting.

 

Kenneth - I think this is maybe the 4th time I've watched the movie - the 1st time was in the mid-60s. You're fortunate to have read the book prior to watching the movie I'll bet the book is excellent.

 

Nope I didn't know - how about that. First time I heard this. Kewl.

 

It looks more like Rice Pudding than it does gravy.

Jim - You were most likely a human sponge until they could determine which antibiotic, dose & rate was going to be the most effective.

 

I had to look them up:

Macrolides and Fluoroquinolones as 1st defense antibiotics against Legionella followed by Levofloxacin or Azithromycin. I'll say one thing, you're a damn lucky fella they developed those antibiotics because in the grand scheme of things Legionnaires disease is exceedingly rare.

 

Hope it doesn't get "too interesting" unless they offer ya a really big pot of $'s to leave.

 

It won't take much, I'm about ready to drag up now.

 

You may be right there. IMO, a really great album, with some really great classic songs. I'm partial to Baba O'Reilly and Behind Blue Eyes.

 

Recalling 'Going Mobile' pushes me into a wonderful time of my life. My Generation was my first The Who album (1966 or 1967). I saw them twice in Chicago (1969/1970). My second The Who album was Tommy. I attended the rock opera 'Tommy' at the Kinetic Playground, Chicago (along w/ Buddy Rich & Joe Cocker) in 1969 about one week before leaving on a jet plane for Europe as an Exchange Student. I had a proclivity for reading why songs were made, album cover(s) artists & the like. Pete enjoyed writing/playing Going Mobile something about his first mobile home. I thought it was a kewl song especially back in the day(s). I was an S.C.C.A. volunteer during the 1969-1972 time span. To this day I recall Going Mobile playing at an in-field Saturday night cookout/party at Elkhart Lake Motor Speedway in Wisconsin one time. As volunteers we got to attend these Saturday night cookouts with the pit crew(s) and driver(s). I never met them but I was (wet behind the ears) walking about w/ Roger Pensky & Mark Donahue at several Road America SCCA events. I generally was either a corner worker or a timer/scorer.
