Range time this morning with Sue and two of the kids.
TKD coming up soon.
Top down on the Vette.
It's a good day.

We have a forced OT system. If the next shift is short the shift getting off has to pick someone to stay and cover half and the shift that replaces the short shift has to have people come in early.
Our midnight shift is grossly under staffed right now so I get drafted to stay and help mids 2 to 3 times a week. They regularly are 5 to 6 people short every night.

We've avoided ordering someone in. Got lucky; the guys on the night before were able to send a backup dispatcher and an officer home early, and they came in for day work. So I got by...

Personally, I'm getting really tired of the folks not answering their phone when work calls... One of the "perks" of the job is that you sometimes end up having to come in and work on your day off, even when you don't want to.

Does Rand Paul have a perm

 

[granfire]

Maybe a rug? Used Teh Donald's barber?

I love Blue Bloods.
But for Pete's sake, nobody as scrawny as those guys is able to hold themselves up in a car crash faster than 10 miles an hour. NOBODY.
They constantly wreck their cars, going, oh, 50 MPH, no seatbelts, and no scratch.
This does not happen, people!

well..banged up my left pinky finger - so, just one practice tonight..

Seems like a beak from the rest of the BS.
Unless you go for a root canal.
or have a chatty doc who likes to keep a conversation while he works.

it was a cleaning and check
Have roots exposed in two areas of the upper and lower left jaw which they say is the result of brushing to hard
Every time I go for a check they ask me "are you scrubbing your teeth" meaning brushing to hard
My answer it.... "I don't think so, what do you see" and I always get "Your ok"

Apparently they either did not know, did not care or saw $$$$ in my teeth....now I have to go back for white fillings to cover the roots.....it just keeps getting better and better

 

[granfire]

Not too bad!

 

[Xue Sheng]

OK, enough of my rather morose attitude..... Saw something I thought was strange the other day at an intersection....but then maybe it was just me

A group of 5 motorcycles and...., obviously together, waiting for the light to turn green, there were 2 Harleys, a Honda and even a Triumph... all new bikes. But there was one, in the front of the group, on the right-side of the road, with a Harley on the left and the Triumph just behind it that was this

a Piaggio three wheel scooter.... I admit...it is liely just me...but my first thought was "one of these things is not like the other"

 

[Xue Sheng]

And for Dirty Dog, still seeing some pretty amazing cars in my area

Saw these in the last 2 days

And one of these, which it pains me to admit, but I did not know it was a Corvette until it passed me later and I saw the back of it

 

[granfire]

I like the second one

 

[Xue Sheng]

I like the second one

That's a 58 the one I saw was a 57..... but I will take whichever one you want to give me

 

[granfire]

Oh, I thought you were handing them out, my bad!

 

[Xue Sheng]

Saw another today that surprised me

It was a 1940 Chevy but it was yellow

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

This is what I saw yesterday just outside Portland.

Brill?

 

[Xue Sheng]

Brill?

I have no idea what your talking about

Fixed it....I meant to the Broil

 

[granfire]

Well, I was torn, was it grilling or broiling....so I asked.

And it wasn't me who was talking about brilling!

'Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble...

And with that out of the way...

Apparently, Microsoft's rollout of Windows 10 hasn't been as flawless as they planned. Lots of folks are apparently getting incomplete downloads or some other sort of problem that locks them without the upgrade until they delete the contents of a file. It's a little unclear to me if it would have eventually rolled through or not... I'm trying the fix as I sit... or more accurately, it's downloading now, after deleting the file. We'll see how it goes...
