Totally by chance. I was at a lakefront park using city wifi to try scoring a last minute flight deal, and all of a sudden I hear a clanging. A veeeeery familiar clanging. Turn around a see a ladder being raised up to a window in one of the $2,3 00,000 townhouses across the street. Nearby was a suspiciously familiar truck...

Yep! I know that truck! And the 4 joined townhouses I used to work at a few times a year, enjoying the views of Lake Washington. Went and said hi, caught up a bit.

So a few weeks back he c ut through 3 tendons in his hand trying to remove an old 4" razorblade from one of the plastic handles, but on the bright side it is healing up and should be back to 100% by October! Sounds like business is still good, although slower than hoped for with the injury. Current lead time on jobs is 2 months. That’s crazy. It’s a testament to the years of excellence at the company that people are willing to wait that long.

Check out the shiny new Ranger he bought!

It’s beautiful. Unfortunately not carrying on the tradition of manuals, but I can’t fault that after having to teach so many employees to drive stick

It’s funny how memorable sounds just stick. My real job doesn’t have any but the sound of drum sticks hitting a wooden gym floor will haunt me for the rest of my life.

My coworker cut a finger tendon with a knife while splitting an avocado . It was very difficult to recover from.

I had to stop setting songs as ringtones on my phone because after a while those songs started causing pavlovian responses in me. Hell, if I hear The Passenger by Iggy Pop I still sometimes think my phone is ringing and it's been years since that was my ringtone.

It’s always nice for me to be reminded that there are at least a *few* places in the country with housing costs at least as much as, or even more, out of control than where I live.

My thoughts exactly when I look at.... Uh... Wait... There was this one place.... Err....

I think the bay area and Vancouver, Canada are still pricier. And New York must be, right?

I am at least thankful that the high cost of living comes with plentiful job opportunities and high wages across the board

I ruined the bridge in the Hendrix cover of All Along the Watchtower for myself this way.
