TODAY IS PURINA DAY-- FEDEX CALLED AND SAID... DELIVERY MAYBE THIS MORNING... THSAT IS TEH 8 PALLETS OF DRY FOOD... ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL... ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLANGE TODAY AS I UST CHECKED THE WEATHERE AND THERE IS A HUGE GREEN YELLO PINK BLUE WAD OF WEATHER APPROACHING-- NOW..... WE DO HAVE A RECORD OF ONE MINUT 28 SECONDS TO UNBPACK A ADN STORE ONE PALLET... WHICH IS JUST ABOUT THE TIME TI TAKES FOR ME TO TURN THE TRACTOR AROUND AND SLIDE ( NOT QUITE PICK UP) THE NEXT PALLET OFF THE TRUCK...--I DON'T THINK ANYONE ANYWHERE CAN UNPACK FASTER WITH MORE ENTHUSIASM THAN OUR CREW... SO TODAYSCHALLANGE IS TO KEEP IT DRY... WE SHOLD GET SOME TARPS READY-- MAYBE 6 X 6 WEIGHED DOWN WITH CHOLROX BOTTLES FILLED WITH WATER???? THE PALLETS ARE SHRINKWRAPPED WITH A NICE BIG PIECE OF CARDBOARD ON THE TOP...-- BUT WE NEED SOME KIND OF TENT DEAL FOR THE MINUTE 28 SECONDS OF DOWN POUR...
YOU ALL LOVE DETAILS-- I KNOW BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS I GET BACK WITH SUGGESTIONS.... FEEL FREE WITH THIS ONE...
IT IS JUST ABOUT ALL THE TRACTOR CAN LIFT... WE HAVE TWO "FORKS" THA SCREW ONTO THE BUCKET AND STICK WAY OUT FRONT-- SO TEH FORCES ON THAT BUCKET ARE MONUMENTAL...I STICK THE FORKES INTO THE PALLET ON THE TRUCK-- AND ... IT WILL NOT " LIFT" -- BUT IT WILL "TIP" EVER SO SLIGHTLY-- SO I SLIDE THE PALLET OFF THE TRUCK. AND .. BLESS HYDRALICS, IT DOES NOT SAG-- SO NOW I HAVE ABOUT 1000 POUNDS OF PURINA ABOUT 6 FEET OFF THE GROUND..TIPPED SLIGHTLY... THERE IS SO MUCH PRESSURE THAT I CAN NOT LOWER IT SLLOWLY IN ANY CONTROLLEED FASHION-- IT GOES DOWN WITH A WALLOP--- I DO TRY TO UN-TIP IT SO IT LANDS FLAT- BUT IT IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE YOU WANT PEOPLE ANYWHEREES NEAR.
POINT BEING... I CAN NOT LOWER IT AND SLIDE IT TOWARD THE DOOR OF THE SHIPPING CONTAINER-
WELLLLLL MAYBE IF IT IS ICY.... BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY WEIGHT/WATER/ MOTION PROBLEM TODAY
WE ALREADY HAVE THOSE ROLLER CONVEYER THINGS MARK GAVE US TO GET THE BAGS INTO THE BACK ( AND YESE ... AROUND ANY OF THE LAST SHIPMENT WHICH HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE FRONT)
TEH PURINA BAGS THEMSELVES ARET WONDERFUL-- HOW STRONG YOU MAY ASK? ... STRONG ENOUGH FOR A BUNCH OF ADULTS TO USE THEM AS SLEDS ON PUPPY HILL A COULPE YEARWS AGO... WONDERFUL PHOTOS...AVG AGE 53 YEARS OLD SLIDING SIDEWAYS DOWN THE HILL GIGGLING-- SEVERAL PTSD VETS WERE IN THE GROUP.... IT WAS ...?HYSTERICAL???
ANYWAY THOSE BAGS LASTED- AND BEING PLASTICIED THEY WERE SLIPPERY/WATER"RESISTANT" -- PERFECT TOYS THEMSELVES
SO MAYBE IF WE HAD SOMEONE STAND NEXT TO THE CONVEYER WITH A FEW BATH TOWELS TO REMOVE 98% OF ANY MOISTURE IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING. .
THAT WHOLE CONCEPT GETS ME INTO -- LORDY... HERE WE GO.....IF THOSE BAGS GET RAIN /SNOW ON THEM, IT COULD BE THAT THE GUY STANDING NEXT TO THE CONVEYER WITH THE TOWEL IS AS CRITICAL AS THE CEO OF FEDEX, WHO MANAGES A SYSTEM TO GET THE BAGS AT OUR DOORSTEP DRY IN THE FIRST PLACE.. SO I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE HUGE SALARY DISCREPENCY BETWEEN THE TWO..
JUST AS I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH 86.4% OF TEH COMMENTS "I CAN'T WORK/VOLUNTEER BECAUSE I AM HANDICAPPED.."
THERE HAVE BEEN DARN FEW PEOPLE IN 15 YEARS THAT I CAN NOT FIND A VOLUNTEER JOB FOR ON CRZAY ACRES.. FOLDING WASHCLOTHS AND LAUNDRY IS PRETTY GENERIC AND CAN BE DONE BY MOST.... THE PROBLEM WITH OUR AMERICAN WORKFORCE SYSTEM IS THAT THE TOWEL FOLDING JOBS DON'T PAY ENOUGH TO LIVE ON.
I AM GETTING DOWN TO THE TEACHER WHO WAS REMOVED IN HAND CUFFS BEXCAUSE SHE QUESTIONED WHY THE "BOSS" PERSON GOT A $30,000 RAISE AND FELT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SPENT FOR THE 30 TEACHERS TO GET $1000 EACH....SHE MAY HAVE ENDED UP INHANDCUFFS. BUT BOY DOES SHE HAVE IT RIGHT IN MY BOOK...
THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED.. I TOTALYY AGREE WITH THE AMERICAN WAY WORK HARD AND GET THE BENEFITS--BUT THERE DOES COME A POINT WHEN THE DIFFERENDCE IN PEOPLE LIVES IS REDUCED TO WHAT ? BRAGGING RIGHTS? NUMBERS ON PAPER??? YOU CAN NOT SPEND ALL THAT MONEY-- YET 1/100000 'S OF THAT MONEY MIGHT MEAN WARM AND FOOD TO OTHERS WHO ARE WORKING JUST AS HARD... I AM BIG ON FOOD AND HEAT.... IN CASE YOU ALL HAVE NOT NOTICED....
. THE IMMEDIATE ULTIMATE SOLUTION --- WOULD SOLVE EVERYTHING AND KEEP EVERYONE HAPPY-- IS TO OUTLAW "YOUR CALL IS IMPROTANT TO US, PLEASE STAY ON THE LINE" -- TO REPLACE THOSE #$%^&*(*&^%$#@ MACHINES WOULD PUT THOUSANDS TO WORK, AND MAKE BUSINESS IN GENERAL FUNCTION SO MUCH SMOOTHER.IF YOU COULD TALK ON THE PHONE, YOU COULD GET A JOB OF " CALL RECEPTIONIST" -- A REAL LIFE ALEXA !!!
THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO "IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY HANG UP AND DIAL 911---- JUST SO WE DON'T MISS THIE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE CAPTURED AN AUDIENCE, WE WILL LET YOU LISTEN TO OUR LATEST OFFERS AT PAINLESS SPINAL SURGERY OR PUSH 4 FOR WRISTS."
I AM BAD. WORK IS NOT A CURSE.
