    I hate people..

    Had a tundra to work on. Mount and balance tires. Oil and filter. Alignment.
    Now tundra tires suck ass. A very deep center section with no drop down.
    So you have to work the tire up the rim to remove them.
    So,my back is still not the best.
    I mount and bal the tires.
    THROW THE TIRES IN THE RECYCLING BIN.
    Start the o and f.
    My back is screaming.
    ASM comes out and goes oh ohhhhh.
    WHAT?
    The guy just called and canceled everything.
    WTF
    TO LATE...
    Comes back 5 min later and says.
    Put the old tires back on.
    I lost it...
    I had to go into the recycle bin and hunt and find the tires and remount those fuckin things.
    I asked him if he wanted me to put the old oil back in it too.

    So my total time for 3.3 hours worth of work was three tenths of an hour.
    The cust didn’t pay for anything except for the oil and filter.
    I mean this is what it’s come to....
    The tires were almost bald...

    Any wonder why I hate my job?..

    Pup caught his first squirrel. Wife almost never got it away from him. She had to bait him with meat.

    Make sure the pup got his rabies shots. Squirrels and many small game are often carriers. The infected squirrels are the ones most likely to get caught by dogs because they are crazy aggressive. Normal ones tend to get away.

    Thanks Susan. It's the usual crap; someone thought it be good to break up a perfectly functional team and cast us all over the company. I'm getting too old for this kinda shit.

    ...a little too rich for my wallet. I do appreciate good boots but something like that would suit my retirement lifestyle.
