Calamity Kris Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 It's nice here. Sunny, mild temps, pleasant breezes. Found a great buddy for the cat. Getting her acclimated now. All in all, a good day. Oh I also found a good use for all the fleece I have left over from this fall's projects. The adoption agency could use some blankets for the cats. I'll make up some cat blankets and bring them when I return their cat carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think we are going to need a belly robber on the next shooting season. I think CPK should bring his chili pot and take the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks Kris. I get the feeling that it won't be long now. But it's tough to know what to do and how to interact with her until then. Â Pretty much like how you should interact with anyone you care about I guess, you tell them you love them and will see them later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Oh, I'm sure there's a fair amount of strategy to a race, especially with teams racing.

Apache Hawk 60642 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well, it was the first job after Nam. I had learned how to drive a truck in country, and I didn't like no body back in the world, so I took the job. Â The man I worked for, (I can't name names here. Might get this post pulled ) told me, "During the season, I AM god ! No one gets marryed, has a baby, gets divorced or dies without my ok ! Get yur a$% in that truck . You'll stay one track ahead and one track behind at the same time. Don't stop at no scales and don't drive under 80 ! If ya get pulled over, make sure the officer has two tickets to the next race !

Grizzly Dave Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 The whole drama and interpersonal conflict part of the show is annoying, but the technique of it is interesting to me. I guess I'm a process guy, I watched the training part one show, then was picking apart the technique and the coaches said what I was thinking after the pass. Â No way I'd ever do it, not for real and not for theater, I've come off a few horses and it hurts. At least they're on well turned ground, that don't hurt as bad most of the time.

Apache Hawk 60642 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thank ya Grizz. Mighty Neiborly of ya ! (Taking a long pull on that bottle) Â Ahhhhhhhhh....now where was I ................Oh yeah......... Â This was good for a young man. Â Make a tire run from the factory to Daytona. Run back to the factory, reload and drive up to the Pocanos in Pa track, unload, run back down to Daytona, pick up what wasn't used, and run back to the plant. Â Reload and run to Darlington, unload, run back up to PA and then back to the plant to reload. Out to Fonatana, unload, back to Darlington track, pick up what was not used and run back to the facotry and reload. Unload in Kanasas, run back to Fonatana, reloud, back to the plant to reload and down to Homestead and unload. Â That's when I thought I was done for a spell and I was, but then I was tapped as the 2nd gas man over the wall ! Â When I quit, I had 4 pay checks in the glovebox of that old Frightshaker I didn't need to cash ! Â I'll bet ya Choclate tells it differant !
