Good News

I spent the evening chatting it up with some of the people here. The main subject was how most of the rules here are broken like how to ship alcohol here or comparing porn collections. My plan is defiantly going to start making Mead here when I get back.

Another subject was practical jokes here. One of the new lines men decided to strike one of the IT Guys in my office with the classic of turning the stereo up to max on your car when your park and away from it, so when you come back and start it your hit by a wave of noise. So as revenge we did the same to him but raised it a notch and added the heater too. You may ask well so what the big deal about the car heater, in 50 degree a car heater set to max is a death ray. What we didn’t know was that the lines men bongo A/C doesn’t work so they never used the cars air in literally years. You also have to remember the bongos are from Japan so they right hand drive with everything labeled in Japanese so it takes a while to learn ware all the buttons are. Did I mention he was new? We even convinced one of the veteran linesmen to make sure he was next to use the bongo.

How to describe what happened when he started it. The cars heater fan started for the first time in 3 years and lifted all the dust that had accumulated in the air ducts from 2006 till now and flushed it all out into the cab. All we saw was a dust storm localized to the inside of the lines men cab with the exception of a pair of flailing arms desperately trying to feel around and fine random switched and leavers to get it to stop. The Wipers started, the odd turn signal turned on and off, we even heard the horn go off. He told us afterwards he could not see anything, not even the door leaver to free himself.

In other news did some calling home and both my brothers are doing well. The one from Nova Scotia, Don was put on kemo only a few days after he got back. And Brant is doing better than expected; I was even talking to him on the phone. Good News is always good here. The plan is I’ll visit him on my way down to Pennsic, which brings up my ride. The Porsche is fixed up and ready so I’ll take that to Pennsic. It’s not totally restored but now mechanically sound. It’s still needs lots of work but almost all that is cosmetic. Yaaa
