That sure looks like it! Don't remember the town being so green. I used to run up and down it the take drugs and watch the airplanes ascend and descend from a cylinder of planes circling the airport.

We was always getting on out in the desert. I might end up out there again. Them pigs is everywhere and damn good eatin up North. Not really a day or night where you needed a lot of clothes.


Anyway:

Instead of going to the police I had them come to me. I wanted to apprise them of the situation up at the farm and guy, I don't know if I told you: She caved and was gonna try to play nice and once I knew I had her I told her to **** off. I am such a ******* prick.

She had been sending me messages and calling and bitching and missing appointment and telling me what to do and how to do so I started calling and leaving messages where I would sing Rod Stewart songs and the theme for the Adams family and all sorts of stuff. I think I called in a British accent telling her the Tree Warden would sort her for not having her lopping ticket.

So the cop started to get me after listening to me go on and on about all the crazy stuff, I was laughing and being very cooperative. Even told him my birthdate.

He knows her and its sad.

I was worried I might put her in the bin. She looks like a wild crazy fat Morticia, got so much dye in that ****** up hair. Ought to see her daughter, the younger version of a female Charley Manson.

My joke about her daughter is that she ***** the **** out of her husband and when she is done she ***** the **** out of her husband. They are in their early 20's, poor guy don't know what a hammer she will become.

I was just starting to break the ice with them... after 3 years! These people are kunts.

I am throwing my old red broken dump truck on CL for real this time.

I move at about the rate of a tree sloth myself these days.

Slow n steady may not win the race, but nor does he pass out from heat exhaustion either.

This is Uncle Fester ice bucket helmet weather for sure!

I am really worried about what is going to happen now. I mean, Ropes!? having a " good time" on Venice? Well, it is California soes there ain't to many laws can stop him, just wonder if he'll get the hankrin to stay. Hit that beach, boy! They got stuff so yer head don't explode.

Note my comma's and punctuation. They are there to help to ingest the meaning in whole.


Where am I?

Oh yeah!

Quit!? Sell out!? Bipolar!?

ME?

NO!

Just gave two " consultations" ; One to an old client and saved him a good amount by flailing a handsaw at a Kwanzan. I tell you, sometimes you have to work with what you have instead of knocking it down, running it through the CHIPPAH, getting the stump out and replanting a tree that will grow all over the little front yard in a row of tight little condos.

Repeat business? I concur.

Same thing with this new client getting worried, calling Peco and everybody else to hack and slash his neighbor's little trees just to keep them at bay. Not going to do that to a sweet old neglected fenceline pear tree or aged and huge arborvitae.


Take away those trees or make " the wrong cut" and you WILL be sorry. Just and handsaw and the sweet silence of my own mind takes care of that.


I will be careful not to take on big technical trees. I still could but don't want to do the work to set it up properly. I can still do big stuff if its for one of my clients, they let me carry on in any way I see fit and are more than glad to pay what I ask.

Truth is that I will start messing with new clients if they feed me "lines". I can't help it.

****** KNEE! Ripped something last fall, DAMN! Can't walk for **** today. Had to get one of those motor carts when I went to Walmart for oil and jerky. I was messing with this older guy and for a second I thought we had a race.


Got back around 1:30 limping like a bitch after driving around blasting Rush and screaming so I came home, sucked down some cold beer and turned on Peabody's Fender.

I am in his will you know?

 

[Zale]

Sounds like a pretty boring day for you.

They charged me for four jugs of oil at Walmart when I only had three. Everybody was a "minority" there, so I went, " Hold on!" , made a siren sound, grabbed the price scanner and made everybody hit the floor.

Well, they just actually stood there and looked at me in question but it saved me from having to drive the motor cart all the way back to customer service to get a refund.

It was madcap, everybody had fun, even the people that didn't want to, even the refund manager was there!

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

I had the police call me, I figured, "why call them when I could just have them call me", so I returned the favor of repeated, badgering and hilarious phone messages that the horse farm owner had been sending me.

The cop, well, just being a cop, admitted much to me. I had him answering my questions right after he said hello. It took awhile for him to catch on, not sure if he really did.

He didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Like the owner ain't got a leg to stand on and will have to fight to evict me so I have plenty of time to move the rest of my damn crap I wish I never bought in the first place.

She got all " I'M YOUR LANDLORD YOU HAVE TO WHAT I SAY " which I thought she had in her but thought would keep quiet because I was doing so much for the farm. I think its so funny when people try to subjugate me, even funnier when a woman tries. The look on their faces as they desperately try in vain to assert something that does not even exist.

They ask," Hey, why aren't you afraid of me, your supposed to be afraid of me aren't you, I am the landlord you know right so be afraid please, pleeeeeeease!?"



Landlord? Landlord!!?? LANDLORD!!!??

I must have nodded off and sign a lease again! Hate when that happens.

Oh, sweet Jesus, you should have heard her wail like I would be scared enough to listen.

Next time I am face to face with a horse bitch I just will put up a wall right away unless they pay me first.

Just wish I had a job like Ropes got. What is it you actually do in betwixt luncheons, meetings and spa treaments?
