Always take a picture of the nearest street signs so you know where you parked -- even if you get wasted, unless you lose your phone. But if you are in a dopey mode, [fearing the loss of your phone too!] text that picture to a friend. 1_1_2017

Officially naming my car
The new car's name is The Truck. Because it will take me whoknowshowlong to stop referring to my car as the truck at times when I need to grab something out my vehicle. As in, "be right back, left my phone in the truck." I've had nothing but trucks for my entire driving history, minus …
No Shoes – No Work
I got all the way to work this morning with no shoes. Ughh, my manager knows I'm crazy but that's still a message I had to reword five times before sending. Last week, no belt. I can roll with that. Need to get back to having reserves that never move like I used to. 12_19_2016
because i own a blog
I have the ability to openly display my life. I can write stories, keep a journal, take pictures of cats, create a market for Christmas stockings that I get my retired mother to craft, create instruction manuals and post tutorial videos for CATIA, or post whatever mindless dribble that I feel is interesting at any …

6 hours in 5 seconds flat
Then 2 in 3 seconds. This work day was one hour and eight seconds long. An hour of that time was lunch break. Exageration? Yes, there were several instances that I had to run out to the shop, troubleshoot a CATIA issue, attempt to understand the complexity of a thirty year old engineering drawing that …
Punctuality
The fear of being tardy is strong in me, yet it is counterbalanced with a heavy dose of I don't give a damn. The place that matters most to people tends to be for work. I tend to disagree, but with some narrower scope I would be in agreement. Getting to work "on time" can …
i was taught how to use an axe while barefoot
I have only witnessed a dozen or so foot races. That is - since high school, but in nine (at least) of those races did one of the participants remove their shoes. I was raised in the south of Georgia and in our once small town there wasn't much asphalt. I am fortunate to remember walking …

tobacco free fifteen hours
A week ago I went twelve hours once, but was scared to go further. Yesterday I fell asleep around 4:30 and awoke a couple times for an hour at best. I slept and woke without alarm, as I prefer on weekends, at around six o'clock. Then laid around and sketched some ideas and watched Netflix. …
