It's been well over a year since my last post, and another year since the post before that. I abandoned facebook about 18 months ago, and deleted it altogether about 6 months ago. I have checked my "friend's page" here from time to time, but not too often. Besides that, eTim has abandoned ship ( Read more... )

About half an hour ago, I was really enjoying my day off,  working on my car in the mud and sunshine, when my odd neighbor approached me ( Read more... )

I have to be fair. In my last post I made a couple of accusatory side remarks about online whiners and people with pathetic lives. Upon reflection, that complaint no longer applies to Livejournal, and only to a very few who might end up reading that post. I investigated the matter, and over the past year there have been a sharp decline in posts, ( Read more... )

I haven't updated this journal in ages, and I'll tell you why. It's because there's nothing to tell. I'm a trash man. I haul trash, and that's it. I get up at a miserable hour, walk bleary -eyed to the shop, kick my truck's tires, fire up the engine, and after climbing in and out of the cab a minimum of 267 times in a single day, I park, walk home ( Read more... )

It seems that my default userpic has been replaced with a red haired chick in a checkered shirt.

Time to change my passwords, I suppose?

The first person I spoke to today was a woman who waddled onto her deck at 6 AM and wanted me to relocate her trash can. At least, I think that's what she wanted. It was hard to hear her over the deafening, blinding, and mind numbing facts that she was morbidly obese (I put her at about the 350+ lb mark) and wearing nothing but a tiny green tank ( Read more... )

I looked at the new prospective hearse last Friday. The owner raved about it's "mint," "perfect," "beautiful" condition outside of the possibility that it might need some transmission work. Having seen it from a distance a few times, I believed him. It really is a stunning car. If you don't get too close ( Read more... )

I spend a good deal of time listening to the radio during the day, and a part of that is the news. Much of the news these days has to do with things pertaining to fuel prices ( Read more... )

Hearse fever! I got it bad. I always thought I would remain a one-hearse man. Why would I ever need two? And one is already a handful. But then I called owner of the funeral home that had the 1967 Cadillac Superior 3-way that I've always loved since I was 14 just to ask him what ever happened to it. He said he still had it and recently pulled it ( Read more... )
