Random Thoughts 3

[Wayoftheredpanda]

Thursday at the home improvement center I was helping push a zero turn tractor I sold onto a customer’s trailer. Those things are incredibly hard to steer by just pushing. I told him I had to reposition it before we pushed it up onto the trailer. As soon as I got it into position he didn’t wait and starting pushing it up. My hand got caught between a front wheel and the housing and I broke a finger. He was extremely sorry and said he would talk to the employer about what happened for a workers comp claim. I told him not to worry about it because I wouldn’t be filing a claim as I was still battling with a health care provider from a workers comp claim over two years now from a BBQ grill that fell on me that the HR person completely screwed up the papgerwork and then left the job... and I’m not going through that again. I informed the store manager what had happened and got Saturday off. So on Saturday I was mowing the property with the tractor and half way though the process the front wheel breaks off from metal fatigue and goes rolling downhill. I got a new wheel yesterday and will be repairing the thing over the weekend. 2020 is turning out to be a real sucky year.

Home improvement doesn't sound very fun

I need more friends who understand i still
want to be invited
but i`m not coming.

You are invited! (But if you don't show up I will have to eat all the cake myself)

I had a weird day today - went to give blood at Canadian Blood Services and was told my iron was quite low (now I feel tired) - do you think it's all in my mind? (Not the low blood iron, just the fatigue)

Okay - I'll start - not one of my original thoughts but I agree with it:

Are you sure we're not related? Better be careful. Before long, your family will be forbidding you to use electric tools or handle lawn equipment, and you'll have to find other ways to get things done. If it comes to that, call me......I'll share ideas!

Dio ain't of Scots descent, he seems more like wisecracking Pennsylvania-Irishman to me.

Hey, I didn't break my finger, the customer did. And I can't be blamed for metal fatigue unless you think I'm too hard on the equipment. And sure, I'll listen you your alternate power equipment ideas... I'll file them under "what not to do."

#5 - The biggest lie you tell yourself is, “I don't need to write that down. I'll remember it.”
#6 - “On time” is when you get there.
#7 - Even duct tape can't fix stupid - but it sure does muffle the sound.
#8 - It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle- free and three sizes smaller?
#9 - Lately, you've noticed people your age are so much older than you.
#10 - Growing old should have taken longer.
#11 - Aging has slowed you down, but it hasn't shut you up.

What do you mean? That future horror writing won't be up to much when compared to Steve?

Perky iron levels to you!

That's not all I wish was still perky!

I told the nurse I had been trying to lose weight since beginning of March and had intentionally gone down - now I am wondering if I should slow down a bit

I had a weird day today - went to give blood at Canadian Blood Services and was told my iron was quite low (now I feel tired) - do you think it's all in my mind? (Not the low blood iron, just the fatigue)

I'm glad to hear you are doing much better - don't let yourself get dehydrated again

I know we are all supposed to drink about 8 glasses of water a day but normally I can't manage that much

Oooh! Here's a random thought - yesterday they gave me this cloth mask to wear at Canadian Blood Services - it looked an awful lot like somebody's panties.
Plus you get to keep it and take it home - it is bright red. I gave it to Andy, as I had only had it on maybe 20 minutes plus it's washable. Maybe he will wear it when he cuts the grass
