 At the job, the second shift will have no supervisors. Both of them have moved on and tonight will be the last night with a supervisor at the two factories here until we get a replacement . That leaves me as the adult in the room . Great ! That is the kind of thing I've been trying to avoid . I am happy mechanicing , I just do my own thing and people leave me be. I will help out the lead men as best I can , common sense rules apply . It wouldn't be the first time I've had to step up  and wing it .

                                                                Keeping things positive !

Your Saving Grace (Remastered 1991)

  We have loads of drama at work! My supervisor is moving on to greener pastures. We have one member of the crew that really wants to be supervisor ,but , he has bad attendance and was written up for that , also he has gotten in trouble for other stupid infractions like extra long breaks and just being a doofus.  We have a new mechanic on day shift , and out robotics tec put a bug in wannabee supervisor's ear that new guy was going to apply for the supervisor position. Mr. wannabee blew his stack, went into the H.R. office and raised hell  about it !  New guy wants no part of the supervisor gig , so Mr. wannabe came out of there looking really foolish. I'm not really sure what the moral of the story is , maybe , the old saying be quiet ,let people assume you are a fool rather than speak up and remove all doubt ? I think I will stay the course ,hang out on second shift and try not to get noticed too much. If I can keep people from blowing the place up and get a few PMs done in the meanwhile the managers are content . I am getting paid well to babysit .LOL

  Eight below at noon ,Have to run to town and grab some assorted groceries.  I should refill the kerosene can do not want to run out  but I want to do some more work in the dungeon . I managed to make some headway yesterday , got a bunch of extension cords untangled wrapped up nice and put up on the shelf next to the battery chargers . It's a work in progress  I will get more done later after I get back from town .

  I figured out how to share videos last night , that will add some interesting possibilities !  

  It is ten below zero right now and will not warm up until maybe Sunday and then , not much .  It is not a good day to be out on the roads , a breakdown could be bad news , getting stranded in below zero weather can be life threatening if you do it right. Might play around in the dungeon for the afternoon and clean up some of the stuff  that has accumulated on the work benches . the law of flat surfaces comes into play !

   So it will be wicked cold this weekend , below zero the whole time form Thursday through Sunday . Sounds like a good time to hunker down in the grouch cave and try to tame the chaos . stay safe out there and maybe keep an eye on your elderly /disabled neighbors , and done forget the dogs !

 The lowlives barging into a church service is no accident they are trying to send a message. They are picking a soft target. Odds are if you mess with church going folk in Mn. you will walk out unscathed. I would like them to try to interrupt a Hells Angles chapter meeting sometime. Wonder how that would go? Heck , I would watch that on pay per view it would be very entertaining to be sure.

   Here we are , stuck in between the East Coast Elitest and the West Coast Weirdoes both think they ought to run the show and tell everyone else how to live our lives . The trouble is , they have no clue how the real world works . We have actors and athletes and entertainers who in reality produce nothing of value wealthy people who haven't a care in the world, lecturing those working for a living, people who actually build things and keep things running struggling to make it through the next week , to the next paycheck.  And we have the career politicians robbing the country blind for decades bleating about their "public service" . Parasites the lot of them ! Nobody ought to take advice from a dancing monkey.                                                     


   Its horrifying that a fairly well known journalist and a crowd of lunatics would crash a church service and disrupt people who were peacefully worshiping God  . How these people can do these things and claim to be the good guys boggles the mind . Makes me want to start a sideline job providing security teams to guard churches during services . I don't  know that I would hammer my plowshare into a sword, it would probably resemble a Browning HI Power .

  Got my W2 Saturday , so I did my income tax returns today ,  three grand back state and fed .  that will be handy ! not sure what I will invest in ,, but a new mattress might be high on the list . the old one is about shot. It is still quite cold here sun is shining but -3 degrees . The husky's are not staying out too long now. Usually Yoda will park it in the deck and chill out for hours , but not today, the north wind gets through even his fur coat!

   She was a cold one today only made it up to 1 degree above zero. I am not into ice fishing ,or other cold weather sports, so I made up a big batch of chili and did a little work on the shop in the basement .  I have been replacing the pegboard with Milwaukee Packout tool organizers the stuff works well, but its really expensive . Being that I work for Milwaukee I can get the stuff at a over fifty percent discount ,that makes the stuff reasonable. I put a piece of plywood on the end of a shelving unit and mounted a couple of the small Packout wall plates to that . then I put a mount up that holds the weed eater , those things are a pain in the ass to be tripping over .

   Stuff you ought to know !


 


      What is it with people protesting on behalf of the parasites ? The lady who lost her life died for ...? What ? The people on whose behalf she was protesting could care less about her death . All she accomplished was to become the ultimate useful idiot . The poster child for a FAFO moment. What she really did was to provide a smoke screen to cover up the fraud that has been brought in the open , and that is a pretty dumb cause to sacrifice your life for.  She is out there looking like an advertisement for shopping at goodwill , and they are rocking designer glasses frames worth more that her Honda minivan .

    There has been a whole lot of attention paid to the idiot woman in the twin cities who played stupid games and won the ultimate stupid prize .  It is an attempt to deflect attention away from the multi billion dollar fraud scandal nothing more . I got into an argument with a person who was way more emotional  than logical. She started the nazi comparisons saying ICE was the Gestapo and soon ovens will be built. I reminded her that the Jews had not entered Germany illegally . She said I should read a history book. I actually found that stupid comment kind of amusing , she has no idea who she was talking with , as I have read tons about that particular time in out history. I probably have 100+ books in my libraire on just WWII .    I gave up, recalling what Sam Clemments said about arguing with stupid people they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience .

 There has been a lot of talk about what it means to be an immigrant , I like T.R. s take .Its over 100 years old but still valid  

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

― Theodore Roosevelt

  Well , now that the holidays are over its time to get back to reality. It is hard to get back into the work a day routine after becoming semi feral in November and December. I enjoyed being on day shift during plant shutdown through the Christmas holidays. The post new years doldrums are here nothing but cold and slush until spring. The worst is yet to come, late January through mid February can be brutal .  but the days are starting to get longer (not much at first but we'll take it) last year this time was pretty rough, the water pump in the well died and I was sick as a dog . It was belo zero while that was going on. Good times !    : p

    It is time to call them out . All over the place people spew pure unadulterated bull shit and nobody says anything . This has to end . If somebody has an absolutely stupid idea that has no basis in reality ,or says something that everyone in the room knows is a total load of hooey , they need to be ridiculed and mocked until they shut up and go away. 

   After President Trump had Maduro arrested some "voters for equity" post showed up on my feces book wall the premise was their five year old child was concerned that "Trump kidnapped another countries president" , Bull  Shit ! No five year old kids give two shits about foreign policy , that is just something that is not on their radar .  

     It is amazing how many of these have popped up Democrats screaming about capturing an illegitimate president and narco terrorist and bringing him to trial. I post the same thing on all of their posts, "You are supporting Maduro , a known narcotics trafficker and terrorist over Law Abiding Citizens ? It is good to know where your allegiance lies ."  

   When you run into stupid bullshit call it out and mock them . The time to be politically correct has long been past.
