Summer Memories

[Dana Jean]

This reminds me of this one time....

I was out on my own but not yet legal drinking age. Had all my gang over, we had beer, of course. I had one set of neighbors who enjoyed calling the cops on me. When I was trying to break Brandon from the bottle, he screamed and screamed and screamed. They just knew I was murdering him. They called the cops. Well, I lived in a tiny town. The cop was just "Gordon." Everyone knew him, he knew everyone. I invited him inside to check on Brandon on that occasion. Told him I was not giving him a bottle anymore and he was only voicing his displeasure. He came in and looked in on Brandon, who had by then quieted down and gone to sleep. All was good....

But back to my party story. The same neighbors called Gordon that night, too. I think we had the stereo too loud. So, Gordon comes, knocks on my door. We freak out and try to figure out where to hide the beer. We settled on inside the dryer.

I answer the door, Gordon asks what we are doing, I say just hanging out, and he marched right through my house and opened the dryer, plucked out the beer and said, Just hanging out, huh?

Not a one of us was legal. He let us all go. I'm sure he watched my house the remainder of the evening to make sure no one drove. But we all got off with just a stern talking to.

And wait. Chester molester peeping in your window. WTH.

No, we had never done that before!! I thought it was genius!!

I did that once but only once.Hubbies cousin always came over and drank up our beer.But never brought any to share. So this time he was at the door hubby said hide the beer. So in the dryer it went. Hubby not knowing where i put it. Through a jacket in the dryer and turned it on. Never did that again what a mess.LOL

Back in high school I was the hide the beer guy. And I had the perfect hiding place… common in every house and apartment. The toilet tank… and it kept the beer nice and cool. No one ever thought to look in there.

I was 17 and we had moved into a brand new house in a brand new neighborhood. The neighborhood was so new that we had the first completed house. We had no neighbors but there was a house a couple of lots away that was almost ready for the new owners to occupy.

Anyway, my parents were going away for a few days and I invited 5 or 6 friends over. We were going to hang out and drink beer etc. During this small get together, one of my friends called another friend and told him to come over to my house. Next thing I know there must have been 50 or 60 people show up and a raging party was going on. I spent two solid days cleaning up the mess and getting rid of the evidence before my parents got home. I was thankful that we didn't have any neighbors yet to tell on me. I got everything in order and my parents came home and never noticed anything wrong. I thought I was in the clear but a few days later the new neighbors down the street moved in and my mom was talking to them and they said, "that was a hell of a party you had last week." Busted!

"Porch Sittin' " I think thats one of the reasons why Judd in Pet Semetary is one of my favorite King characters.
I don't think I'll be finishing this recollection.

not finishing that story,
but will
tell how it ended up:

friend came over w/ a guy
wanted me 2 go out
said no cuz Gran would FREAK
drank 6 Bud tallboys
smoked my Marlboros
went in the house
got *itched at
shower
2 bed early
.....looked in 2 C how my friends Roland, Jake & Eddie were doing.
slept
dreamt


yeah, most of my paydays went like that.

Porch sitting is the bane of my existence at the home improvement center. We offer three wooden outdoor rocking chairs… exactly the same in black, white and wood grain. The corporate geniuses decided this year to put the displays on a shelf that sits about 8 feet high and are banded to the shelves with big cable ties. When I first saw the display I told the manager it was stupid as nobody ever buys a rocking chair without first trying it out, and we’ll have to keep climbing up on ladders, cutting the cable ties and bring them down so the old ladies can rock out. I finally had enough the other week when an elderly woman had me bring one down to try out... so I brought down the back one. Then she said she wanted to try out the white one. I told her they are exactly the same, and you had to assemble them anyway, so trying another one out makes no difference. She said she wanted to see how she looked in the white one. I nearly snapped. Afterward I decided to put the black one out on the floor as a display and told the manager if anyone puts it back on the shelf I would break their arms. It’s still on the floor, and I’m a hero to the other workers in the department who also had to deal with the corporate stupidity.

Okay, watch it buddy. I love rocking chairs and I do sit in them to try them out. So yes, keep one down of each style because my scrawny ass is going to sit in every single one and rock like a boss.

I’m sorry ma’am but they’re making me go to lunch. Cathleen over there will be glad to help you, I’m sure. She’s a high school teacher and working the summer here. I also think she’s a closet masochist cause she’s constantly slapping me across the back of the head… and I’m sure she can keep her anger in check.

Yeah, some big wigs at corporate can be clueless.

Mayhap she watches too much NCIS (Gibbs slapping DiNozzo on the back of the head)

I've been told next season we will only have lawn tractor displays. Corporate has decided to keep inventory of large appliances and tractors at a distribution center. I said it makes no sense... about 20% of our customers come with trucks or trailers because they need the items that day. Now we have to tell them they'll have to wait over a week for a delivery? So I guess we'll be giving the competition about 20% of our business on big items with good margins. I hope it's not true but nothing surprises me anymore. They also let all the assemblers go this week and have hired a 3rd party company (who will only come in on Wednesdays) to build grills and other things. So now it will add an additional week for customers to get their deliveries.

LOL. The other evening I noticed Craftsman 60 volt battery lawn mowers (both push and rear wheel drive) are running about 65% off right now. Nice machines. I told the manager I'll sell every one that evening. He said 'no way.' I asked him if I do can I have the weekend off? He came back... Sure! Well, I did sell every one we had in stock and I'm still working the weekend. He said he didn't think I was serious.
