post #210. somebody aint getting a Christmas Bonus this year!!!!!!


speaking of Christmas bonus, I worked for this cheap sob, .

ok, look, I believe that an employer does NOT owe an employee a christmas bonus. I believe that is something that is freely given as a "thank you"
for your hard work, or if you have been making the co. money. that said>>>>>

1984, 10 or us employees at a co. on christmas eve. we received a 1/2 a ham each. WHAT!!! i'm talking wrapped in tinfoil
1/2 a ham, A $10.00 ham cut in half. we rode that joke for a week

HEY Joe!! what did you have for lunch? Half a ham sammich!!!

I had 1/2 a ham steak and eggs this morning for breakfast


40 degrees and raining

It's about 80 out right now.

Anyone else have any idea how much it hurts to fill a 120 gallon fuel tank. Everyday?
 
86°F @ 3:30pm.
Had a long sweaty day mowing lawn and stacking rocks dug out from around the yard that the lawn mower had complained about.
Oh, and weeding around my pineapple and banana plants too.
Fact, - I will never shovel snow again!

I have 8 guys with 6 pieces of equipment and it is takig two weeks to do this project. I bet it would take 20 guys a month to do what we have done if not using equipment.

I lived in Alaska for over 30 years.
My mantra was:
"I will never own a lawn mower or a snow shovel."
I still do not own a snow shovel and NEVER will.
I don't care how much it snows.
I never needed one in Alaska ... badly.

I send pics of my place to a friend back in Ak.
He remarked that it looked like I lived on the edge of the jungle.
I corrected him explaining that I lived on a clearing in the jungle.
The lawn mower as well as the brush cutter help keep the jungle at bay.

8 guys, 150 gallons daily= about $ 1400.00 per day

$6200.00 weekly. you need a drink,
 
Single digits last night and the wind chill was zero or lower. At 5:00 am the sky was crystal clear perfect for star gazing if you could stand the cold. They were predicting a foot of lake effect snow and the Weather Channel showed up in Erie to film it. Wouldn’t you know the wind changed just a bit and all the snow fell in the lake.

As to snow shovels who needs one mine is 8 foot wide and attached to the front of the GMC2500. Shoveling isn’t too bad when you are in 76 degree cab. My girl does own a snow shovel her job is the stairs.

get a couple of goats, you do not need a mower..when hungry.eat one of them
 
The lake effects that missed us this morning ran right up the lake shore and is hitting Buffalo area. They are predicting between 5 and 6 foot of snow today many places already having 3 feet on the ground. Erie really dodged the bullet this time. But give Buffalo a 40 or 50 inch head start and they are going to be hard to beat this winter.

My sister wasn’t amused at my liking the snowfall record and yesterday she called and said give it a rest already we won last year now let’s let someone else have a chance. I actually think she thinks I have something to do with how much snow we get.

Tonight I’m going to call her and let her know I let this one go past just for her.
 
It's 25 degrees where I am right now. At least the snow hasn't piled up too much yet.
 
87°F @ noon - partly cloudy with sporadic rain showers - light trade winds blowing keeping it comfortable.

Then, I'd have a herd of goats to care for .
Becoming a "goat roper" is not my idea of retirement.

I need the exercise.
That's why I bought a walk-behind mower instead of a rider type.
Gotta try to keep my pot-belly from growing too big.
