    You don't get call in time?
    I get 2 hours call in.
    You couldn't get me to turn the key on my truck for less than 2 hours.

    Nope. Usta was, back in the salaried days, I’d get $150 for anything less than 4 hours & $300 for over that. Now I don’t get paid unless I’m called in & physically at the hangar. So I’m working 14 sixteen hr days each month basically for free.

    OMG. Sorry to hear that.
    They wouldn't like me none.
    I don't do anything for free, including drive to the shop.
    But then again, during storms, my service truck goes home with me, so I get paid 2 hours, the moment I turn the key.

    And I would never want my own employees doing anything without getting paid.
    I guess I'm strange that way.

    Nice. I'm about 65 miles north of Jackson. Keep us posted. Savannah area is nice, @Bob_Luken knows more than I do about that, anywhere near the Tennessee River. Best to stay a ways out of Memphis. I'm told the gangs have moved out into areas that used to be quite nice. Haven't seen it myself, but then, I stay out of Memphis unless necessary. There's some cool stuff there, but...

    Yeah, we plan on staying a considerable distance from any city.
    Not a fan of city life and I want property, so more than likely it will be near some small town.
    We are looking at a contract hauling rock in Georgia, so everything is still up in the air on a lot of things. If we get a contract, we may be looking at having to buy 4 or 5 trucks for Georgia.

    Time to renegotiate your contract

    Sorry, but I just have to balance the universe with something else that doesn't suck. Don't want to rip the space time Continuum after all...

    If your ever want to see just how insane people really are, put your house up for sale and see all the really screwed up offers you get.

    I hate selling stuff.
    People act like a POS house should be treated like a mansion and will ask for stupid stuff.
    It doesn't have a dish washer, we think you should put one in.
    I think you're an idiot and should pound sand.

    But Tony, if you'll just put 10 - 15 thousand more dollars into it you'll probably be able to raise the price by 5 thousand. How can you not see that this is what the buyer wants?
    :D:D

    Yep. Like we talked about before, I shouldn't be surprised by it. 🤣🤣

    When I’m stupid. Got sent a part to replace one damaged by ducks. Same part number as the one coming off, just had a modification that wasn’t applicable to this particular airframe. Obvious mod. I didn’t catch it, hung the part, & signed it off. Had to call the boss & tell him I goofed big time….

    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    Phone's ringing, "Welcome to soandso's, how may I direct your call?"

    Me: "Service department, please"

    Them: "OK, one moment"

    Background music plays while I hear "Thank you for calling soandso's service department where we'll get you in and out with your problem solved in a hurry, have you...blah-blah-blah?"

    Phone picks up and a new message says: "All our representatives (there's one) are busy helping other customers at the moment, please feel free to leave your name and number and we'll get back to you within the next 24 hours (or so)"

    Sound of me hanging up.

    Really, I'd rather wait until she gets off the phone, because I know good and well that she'll be able to answer the next call, and the next, and no one will get back to me anytime soon.

    :s

    And they never call back. But you’ll get a survey

    Phone rings, "Hi, this is Tiffany with The Department of Visa and Mastercard,..."

    Me: "There is no department of Visa and Mastercard," click.

    What I hate is, I don't know if there's such a "department" or not. But it sounds stupid enough that I've never gotten any farther than that.

    You know, thinking about it, we could start a new thread called Curmudgeonly Tales for these kinds of stories.

    Nah, skrew that.

    My reply is usually “who’d ya call?”.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    I've been a fan of those guys on youtube that hack into the scammers computers and steals their files.

    Was running errands this afternoon. Comimg home a car was on the side of the road and flagged me down he was out of gas. Turned out he buried his ex-wife and nine year old daughter today. Killed by a drunk driver, I heard about it on the news a few days ago.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    That is terrible news, I can't imagine what the guy must be feeling.
