Scored chicken thigh boneless fire up the crockpot

Like $10 for four pounds so I’m thinking over noodles or mash potatoes
20 ounce can cream mushroom soup $1.68
2 packets dried chicken gravy $1.80
32 ounces chicken broth $2.50

Maybe I should go back and score more thighs. I’m doing crockpot chicken parm tomorrow we hardly use the oven anymore.

Dunc pups birthday is 5/20 he will be three told his brother's probably give them invite

I told 18-19 will probably hit a steakhouse then a gondola ride fireworks cake balloons for my favorite child’s birthday.

They both were like Dad you just took us to the Greek diner.

You ever think the Nazis started out as Christian nationalists.

Liz always had a plan thinking of my wife smiling

In thirty six and half years of marriage it was like being married to Ike as he planned D day. Everything down to the smallest detail me not so much probably because of the army. In the army plans the higher ups made always went sideways ok plan A is screwed we’re now onto plan B now also be prepared to immediately move to plan C men ok sarge thanks for the heads up.

Liz was a critical thinker and I’m on back porch having coffee after work with Dunc pup who was a surprise for her yet part of her planning in life. Ok we need to get another dog her reasoning three years ago was.

Mr Big paws who is now fifteen was starting to show his age. Liz was like when he Mr Big paws passes we can’t let the Boog without a companion Boog didn’t do well being alone.

So I scored Dunc July of 2020 as a surprise brought him home and oh Liz was in love. Thing is Boog passed and Mr Big paws is still kicking getting around. I told Dunc we’re definitely onto plan B maybe plan C now.

Dunc - Ok Sgt man thanks for the heads up. This plan we’re doing right now is great as in rubbing my chonk of a belly.

If free market economy capitalism is so great.

Then why do we always have to bail it out when they screw us over their greed.
The depression
Bear sterns
Saving and loans
Covid
Just an observation as I sit on back porch having coffee this morning.

My guys getting a taste of life as union dock workers, they will appreciate college in the fall.

They graduate here in few weeks from high school they both have been cyber schooling this last marking period. Yet this was their idea to leave grocery store and take jobs on Union freight dock at a break bulk, last week they both trained this week they are on their own.

And these two 19 and 18 walked into a bid no two hour work call like the old days always by the phone. Reason that the company they can’t find workers who want to this type of work.

So it’s not bad bid for guys with no seniority as in 04:00 start Tuesday through Saturday they both chose same bid they had 11 slots for this 04:00 start and the last two days they have been forced on two hours overtime. Any time after eight is time half and over 40 hours.

I just got in from Queens on my buster brown shift and sitting at the bar having coffee I smiled. Listening to Jake and Elwood complaining sure hope we get out at noon today instead of 14:00. Sure as shit don’t want to do this for next 30 years, yep they will really appreciate university come fall. I tell them bank your cash plan is that I’m writing the checks for tuition.

I do not give them the speech well in my day when I started as dock man for Preston 151 in 87 freight was terrible a lot of floor and hands on today most of it is on skids. Shit that’s why I took Preston up on the chance to get my chauffeur licenses back then to drive truck get off the dock.

Yea lots of bitching this morning as they packed their lunches for today. I love it because these two will really appreciate college come fall as they walked out I hugged them. Told them have good day don’t fork no trailers or hazmat drums or totes full of liquid don’t break any freight Dad humor.

And here is something I find hilarious so I bought this 2001 Corolla to commute I’m now at different terminal for ups and my commute is 50 miles each way. These two commute maybe 70 miles round trip yet they both have gas guzzlers a 4 runner and a pathfinder. So I been driving a Jetta I just bought actually jetta is more comfortable with leg room so it worked out.

And I smiled watching a six foot four 245 in weight and Six foot two 230 in weight yea they lift body build my fellas climb into the Toyota and headed out they needed to get fuel so they left earlier. I come in six foot 140 in weight. So I just text them saying I don’t think you are getting the same gas mileage at around 35 mpg cuz the Toyota is hauling 475 pounds of meat I got no response.

I love them.

Anyone ever listen to the song ( I need you ) by Lynard skynard

No drama just an observation on the song. I don’t own the patent on loss of a spouse yet I remember as kid trying to figure the song out on guitar.
Now forty nine years later I find I can really identify with the song.

Just a ramble.

Was telling the boys how rough we had it as Gen X.

We would have been grateful for spotty internet service and not bitch about it.
