changing things up!!!

so on Monday i was having a shit day and it definitely carried over until Tuesday. beast had mentioned that his Monday was fine due to the fact that some one brought in cakes to work... now i see why his Monday was good... too bad the ladies in my office didn't bring in any cupcakes to work today!!!


so yet again I've added and subtracted some blog links on the side bar. did you get cut out? did you make it in??? funny on some blogs yer in like Flynn and others you have to work and work and give blow jobs and send money, send in photos of yer bums just to get on their blogrolls... uh....

for me, when you are on my blogroll, its my way of saying thanks for all the blow jobs and reach arounds, the money is great and i'll expect the next check at the end of the month... later on some of you will be over mowing the lawn at my house and raking leaves, i appreciate that too!!! so if you haven't made it on there, please remind me what it is that you would like to do for me and i'll link yah up...

this post was a joke, only a joke and nothing but a joke

not one of my paybacks, but close enough

don't fuck with me... ever. if we are friends and you fuck with me i might just fill your car with dog shit and roll the windows up on a hot summer day. or super glue your keys into your ignition. cover your car windows with surf wax. paint your cat neon green. shit in the back of your toilet. unplug your fridge while you are away for the weekend. that's just if we are friends....

its been rumoured that I've set shit on fire. expensive shit. but i cant tell you if that's true or not. you don't want to know anyway...
my father believes and has told me in the past that revenge is served sweetest cold. i am a firm believer of "ice cold". you don't even remember my name, what happened or why your new truck has dog food going through the engine and out the tailpipe... or why you suddenly seemed to be signed up for every magazine subscription on the planet.(wink, wink) wow your work email address is maxed out daily with gay black porn video links.
wow, your phone wont stop ringing with people calling you about the cheaps room you have for rent or the motorcycle you have for sale? whats that, you have neither? i wonder how they all found you on Craig's list....
interesting that the police showed up at the bar just when you were leaving totally wasted last month... they weren't looking for you, but good thing they showed when they did eh? hows that DUI working out for you asshole...
i understand that your propane tank mysteriously drained its entire five hundred gallon contents three times last year, boy that must have been expensive...
so you, new jackass, when you come to my work and you mad dog me, talk shit to the gals in my office(who I've worked with for eleven years, cried with and buried loved ones with...) and expect me not to hear about it in less then the two seconds it takes you to get back in your truck? you bet you have another thing coming... not today, tomorrow or next month... there will be a time and a place for unpleasant awakening...
enjoy your day shitlip, I'll be sure not to even notice you from now on....

moday

this explains how moy monday is going... hows yours?

what really happened...

hahahahaaaa...

* rereads the post from saturday, laughs and trys to remember exactly what he managed to do*


after jumping right into the drinking pat of the day, i did manage to get all the watering done. chickens and turkeys fed and pool filled. except i forgot the i was filling the pool after my eleventeenth beer for a couple hours. went back outside because i had this nagging feeling that i was doing something earlier. gahhh!!! the pool had been over flowing for several hundred gallons. whoops!
whatched two movies instead of hiking up the moutain. drank an another eighteen pack of beer. then jumped on the quad to check the water tank. full and filling, but not very fast. waited for cheese to come home and fixed us up some kamakaizi shooters. convinced her to come down to the creek with me to check on the water system. also convinced her that we could get the quad down the new little dozer cut to the creek. very exciting. (more on that later)
rebuilt the series of small dams that we use as a collection area for our water. shoveled sand and moved rocks till dark. also drank a bunch more beers. climbed out of the creek bed in near dark and turned the quad around. a ten point turn. the dozer cut which was no problem going down with two was not so easy to get out with two. after almost pitching cheese off, she dismounted and climbed part way up as i tried to get a running start at the hill. she gasps and covers her face as i get it on two wheels sideways going in reverse...

woo hoo!!!

left a teepee shaped squeeze in the leather on the seat after that one.... hehehehee..

came home and made some noodles with cracked eggs for dinner and had a little bit of movie enhancer before watching a movie for the second time that day. had another couple kamakazis and passed out on the couch...

woke up this morning to coffee in bed and...
"you are such a fucking asshole, you know that?"
"uh, yeah..."
"i just wantd to cuddle and you told me to fuck off.."
"no i didnt, i was asleep. it doesnt count..."
"you need to work on your sleeping habits!"

later on when she was headed out to work i did indeed apologize... for being unmanageable in my sleep....

thats what really happened...

a day in the life of voices

***this is cheese with one of our sunflower heads in hand... she is standing in front of some of our heirloom tomatoes. in front her are some of our smaller sunflowers. fun pic taken with my lame blackberry****



so with nothing else to post today, i thought i might give you all a quick run down of what today might bring for me... meawhile im trying to upload a photo of cheese in the garden. it took me half an hour to figure out how to fucking get it off my phone with the blue tooth bullshit...grrrhh.... and we will see if dialup will let me put it on the post....

on with the show....

i got up this morning with chuck (cheeses lab) snorfulling at the foot of the bed wanting out at sixish a.m. an hour later i went down stairs to let the doga back in and had a nice outside naked morningwood pee in the yard. (complete with arching and aiming at bees). back into bed and shortly there after some mornng aheming... ahhh....

ya'll can tell you'll be enjoying this post already can't you?!?!

cheese jumps in the shower and i bust out the scrabble game on my old phone. still trying to beat that old record of 2100 points... get pushed into making some coffee and stand around naked in the kitchen while the dogs pester me for another unsupervised jaunt outside... kill another yellow jacket with the yellow stream of death and finish making cheeses morning coffee. she laughs at me for standing around with no clothes on in the kitchen for so long....

whatever, its saturday...

after checking/adding some oil to her subaru, shes off to work.... i waste some time and try the picture internet thing and here we are at the present... exciting huh?!?! on my third smoke of the day and pondering the idea of having a puff. really slow my day down. right now the movie "alive" is on in the background and im blowing ashes off the keyboard of the crap/mac top.

here we go into a possible future. everybody have their time machine selt belts on?!?!

i plan to go out into the yard and water the sections of the garden that are not under automated control... bring the scraps of veggies up to the chickens and harrass them a bit. throw some snacks at the turkeys. idealy at this point i will have aquired enough energy/motovation to hike up the mountain... where i will spend the next four hours hiking up and down....

wow, you say!!! so much to do and what an amazing man you must be! i know, iknow... pat me on the back later. i'll be full of bug spray and sweaty as can be...

i forgot to mention that ive got several coors lights in the freezer chilling and by the time i get back to the house i'll be well on my way to another fulfilling round of "how many beers can i drink today"! (the movie is at the point when people are getting sucked out the back of whats left of the plane!! fuck...) then i'll start to rewater the pumpkin patch... fuckers drink water like no other. we just harvested our first red pumpkin! so sweet, its huge for a red pumpkin. why we have pumpkins already? i dunno, they volunteered... then i'll crack open another beverage and repeat as required.

you all are thinking i must be wasted by now... nope, the joys of coors light are many... they are "the drinking mans beer", you can drink that shit all day!!! woo hoo!!!

then i might jump on the quad and take a rip up and down the road, blow the dust off, you might say. pop over to my neighbors house and interupt their chores and afternoon... i'll have to re-up on the bugspray and begin harvesting some tomatoes and beans. perhaps pull some carrots and scallions. cheese wants to head home after work, so maybe we will make some dinner... i think there are some crook neck squash ready to pull too!!! the sun flowers have been blooming and last week we cut one that had a twenty four inch head on it! (its the one in the picture if it loads....)

i'll make a few phone calls and see whats happening for the rest of the weekend. i vaugly remember being invited to a buddies house to watch some UFC fighting championships... what ever.

i'll finish filling pool and perhaps take a quick dip. possibly clean the house a bit and put away some laundry. with all this time alone at home, who knows i may even have my way with my self.. sounds good already! anybody wanna bet one of you readers is already doing that while reading this? i thought so!!! hahahahahhaaa.... later on cheese will come home and we will take some shots and discuss her day which will be filled with asshole bikers and lame tipping euros... what is with those lame tipping euros anyway... welcome to the country, learn a bit of the language and culture please!!! gah...

im already feinding the first bit of beer now after having my last sip of bailys and coffee. hmmm...weekend.

i hope you all have at least read this far if not enjoyed this days possibilities... happy fucking saturday interblogpeople!!!

A WALK IN THE PARK

i was hoping to be finished with these projects today.. come in next week and start a new... alas... no... anyways... see you soon...

RANDOM TAG...

SO RANDOM TAGGED ME WITH THIS ONE...

i was supposed to type in "your name needs" onto Google and post the top ten results... here ya go!!

1.Zack needs practice... this one seems to be a myspace tube thingy.

2.Zack needs to ride a bike...someones blog, impersonating the real Zack

3.Zack needs a belt... a you tube link no less.

4.Zack needs a shave.. a deviant art link with a werewolf pic. meh...

5.majestic Zack needs home... someone trying to pimp out their cat.

6.Zack needs your help!!! apparently this womans Zack is hung like a horse.

7.Zack needs a new home. this cat also needs housing. its good not to be a cat named Zack.

8.Zack needs one of these! they don't really say exactly what "these" are...

9.all baby Zack needs is his mum. dang, nobody loves Zacks. this kid was left in a park with his umbilical cord still attached. at 8 pounds 11 ounces he still wasn't as big as me!!!

10.Zack needs URGENT diabetes treatment and back surgery. looks like it sucks to be a baby or a cat named Zack these days. they are all getting the shaft....

so that was my top ten... not as much fun as i thought it might be. I TRIED A SLEW OF OTHER COMBINATIONS... nothing ended up being funny either... except when i tried, "Zack likes to have sex with...." apparently there are also a lot of gay Zack's out there as well... who knew?!?!? have a great day all... my back is really hurting today so i must go and fix something that involves laying on my back for the next couple hours... perhaps i should investigate what the bottom of a pint glass looks like... I'll have to try a bunch of different pint glasses to be sure I'm not getting a jaded sample....

feel free to try the tagging on your own! yours could be a whole lot more funny than mine!!

hey, mj... fucking look at all those capital letters eh?! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA....

ooooo.....

so the print showed up this morning (UPS)... excellent packaging... i am always so fucking stoked when photographers take such good care in their shipping... ahhhh... its here and in mint condition...

he gave me several paper options... i chose french made paper by Arches et canson, matte white cotton rag acid-free, 310gr/sm. it was also the photographers choice... I'm going to have to wait until i get home and put my gloves on to examine it more closely, but I'm not sure i made the right decision... at first glance its a little too flat for me... i dunno... i just peeked at it quickly.. i could be wrong... perhaps when he shot it he had a bit of an antiquated idea for the shoot or image... glossy might have made it snap out a bit more... meh...

other news?!?!? Friday after work, we went down to my favorite watering hole and got well bamboozled. there were some decent bands playing and we were swing dancing for a couple of hours... nothing like making complete fools of yourself in your home town two weekends in a row! at least cheese managed to keep her shirt on at this event!! (hahahaha hi cheese!)

i spent Saturday glued to the couch.. a perfect day off, minus the intense hang over and nausea...

cheeses oldest daughter had a birthday on Sunday. we went to the roller skating rink and then had a BBQ at our place.... lots of fun and she and her sleepover friends apparently stayed up until four this morning.... pesky buggers! and for some reason i thought that we just couldn't possibly put the jeager bottle away half full, we must empty it!!!

*rubs temples as he does spell checking***

ooohhh yeah...

i bought it, just now... I've already pimped it, (second link provided in case you bypassed the first!) but to me it seemed worth adding to my collection... i wonder at what point i start removing lesser favorites from my collection... i have some earlier prints that i purchased years ago that no longer hold luster for me... several i could never look at again and not miss them. what is the protocol for that i wonder... do lame images have an impact on my collection? i mean its not like i have them in a gallery on display, then some ill showcased images might devalue my collection but mine are all plastic jacketed in a fire resistant case.

archived....

properly.....

for all of time....

(except perhaps some of the digital images... time will tell if their "archival paper" is really just that!)

anyway, i was thinking i should have a bloggallery showing of my favorite images that I've purchased... here's my question for some of you in the proverbial know... do i have to get permission from the artists to display their work? or since i now own a copy/original of it can i post it freely!?

so many what ifs and how to's make it not worth the while i think... meh...

other news? the brown Chevy blew a head gasket on the way to a concrete pour. called cheeses dad to come in on Monday and see what he can see... ugh.... i built that engine back in 2001 and don't want to do it again!

I'll be back kiddos. they are hollering for me in the yard...

THE LYRICAL BIRTHDAY SUIT OF "ROLLING JESUS UP HILL"

...yeah, birthday was yesterday.
I went as, um, a biker angel. From the song "1952 Vincent Black Lightning," lyric: "I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome..."

so "she" didn't take any of our lyrical suggestions and went with her instincts... feathers, leathers and lace.... sounds like a boyhood dream to me!!! thanks for the photo and the update sheshe!!!
sorry kids i haven't had time to post much. I'm back working on the crane. today i freed up the sticky four wheel drive control valve assembly and i think i figured out why we were having all those pesky transmission problems in the first place... (a hydraulic brake is seized, but the power of the engine will force fuck it into submission enough for it to move slowly.) also still fighting with that other mother fucking hydraulic leak. it will not obey my commands!!!! have a nice Wednesday all!!!

THANKS FOR HANGING IN THERE!!!

putafuck!!! look at this picture... "i think we should camp out here dear... wadda you think?!?!" what kind of folks gear up and get all pumped on spending the night sleeping out on the side of the mountain?! not outside on the mountain but OUT on the SIDE of the mountain....

anyways i showed up late to work today due to the fact we had another realtor coming today and we were trying to pimp the house out like we normally do... so i was late and the higher ups couldn't find their keys, tools, parts, head out of there ass, proper oil, etc... so they tried to pressure me into feeling like i was in trouble.

"you're late." one said.

"i called this morning, no one was here, so i left a detailed message. and besides i worked late on Friday, until seven."

"that was last week and it doesn't matter anyway. i made you a list and re-prioritized your week." he said

"okay, did you order me any parts for those jobs?"

"no you will have to do that! i cant do everything for you!" the other higher up responded.

"so until the parts i need to do those jobs arrive should i continue on the schedule i put forth last week? i have those parts and it seems more efficient to me do the jobs i have parts for."

"i want you to do the jobs i have laid out for you on the list."

i order the parts and check stock on the things he has listed. takes about twenty minutes...

"so I'm outta here, guess I'll be back Wednesday, those parts wont be here till then and i don't want to do anything that's not on your list of priorities..." i say as i put my sweat shirt on and leave the office. i had no intent of going home and was planning on starting my day as normal...

"get back here! what the fuck do you think-- oh, your not leaving, yeah... get to work!"

i reply in my best Donald duck voice(of which I'm not that bad at impersonating)..."dah, okay boss."

have a nice Monday kids!!!



BTW!!!! i took a late nineties 700 series dump truck that burned in half and not only started it, drove it to its new desitination, BUT left the keys (with fairly good feelings) with the owners....

the tally?

three new passenger side tires
one new rim
one bypassed auto-slack adjuster
four pairs of vise-grips
one broken specialty tool (am bummed about that one)
thirty feet of wire
one roll of duct tape
three knuckels with freshly removed skin
one roll of doublesided plumbers tape
eight cold coors lights (gotta love my fans!)
six brass air line fittings
two brass plugs
one busted up dash board (so i could see what left of the gauges)
hmmm... there more but who cares...



this truck was parked in front of an electrical building that had forty some odd cords of oak stacked next to it... needless to say, it burned fucking hot. HOT.... it took and brand new generator (still in the box, worth about twelve thousand bucks) and made a beautiful pool of metals swilling around one another.... the truck was burnt on the entire passenger side... to the ground... the interior of the cab look like a bad ren/stimpy movie on acid..... yeahbitch, i fix anything!!!!!

cant fucking spell, but i fix all, im am the man!!!


muwahahahahhaaaa!!!!!!


I AM A GOD!!!!!




FUCKING HELL YEAH!!!



ME!!!!!



wait, hello?







isnt anybody listening?!?!? hello???





*shuffles off to find another warm beer*

fucking busy

have to go back up the mountain again today to continue trying to resurrect the burnt dump truck! hae a great friday!

so....

so rolling Jesus uphill, who i have in my blog roll as "get her a beer", is having a birthday party where everyone is supposed to show up dressed as a song lyric... she is trying to cop out and wear "pasties and g-string..." its just the same outfit she wears to work everyday... i think we should give her some more ideas!!! anybody have any interesting ideas for a lyric themed outfit!?!? "hit me with your best shot... fire away!"

office shit

we got a lot of local people here in town who do a lot of different jobs... problem is some people don't like working with/for/around some of the others. some have had problems in the past, some don't like them, what ever the reasons this shit always comes up... a landowner calls in one company to do something and the next company comes in and talks shit and fucks shit up or whatnot and blames the other company... etc...

when our company comes in to a job, we like to recommend other businesses that we've worked with and are comfortable with their work and reputation... this doesn't always work out. we are currently on a job where the is millions of dollars in revenue to be made and the caretakers have requested that we work with a small time business owner/operator here. we said no. and brought our own guys that we like to work with along for the inspection and job rundown.... so did the property caretakers.... we walked from it. right there... said no thank you, when these people fuck up your job/fuck you over, call us up and we might come back up here and do it right for you....

sure as shit, that phone call has come and gone... and we are back up on the ridge and doing the job now for the second time. this landowner has not only paid to have the job done wrong, but a failed inspection and paying us to undo his work and redo the work again will now cost this landowner up to three times the original amount....

what the fuck do you care right!?!?! what the fuck do i care either, but I'm somehow stuck in the middle... I'm friends with everyone involved... and have to hear about all of it... i know party "a" is a total fuck up. and i know he is also very cheap and has very cheap labor....

party "b" is very expensive and kind of a jack ass. but his work is good and he has a licence and permits for the work and trucks he owns...

we are the most fucking expensive way to get things done in this town. but we show up, we do the work, we are also licenced and insured. we warranty the jobs we do. we wanted to work with party "b" because we are more of an asshole than him and we can control him and the work he does... not the party "a" guy who is a hack and a bit of a loose cannon...

so what...

well i have to go to the job today and fix the tractor and have been listening about this shit all morning.... i just wish they wouldn't make this all my business.... get out of my ass already!!!

so have a nice Thursday, I'm sure i haven't said anything you already don't know yourselves...

edit: funny, the caretaker just came in to talk about some of the jobs we are doing up there and told me..."i got that case of beer you wanted to have for working on the ranch today!"

right in front of the bosses... hahahahahaha... its good to be king....

hahahahahahaaa....

oh yeah i made this weeks motor mania!!! so stoked!

morning fun!

This is 739% MORE than other websites who took this test.

i was over at old bitter balls this morning and he had a link up for this cussing meter... i guess i fucking swear alot here....

SO CHECK THIS OUT AS WELL....

Ive been checking out this photography duo recently... i don't know how/when i came across them but their images definitely are appealing to me.... they have quite a few different varieties of photographic work. from architecture to the female form... and they quote helmut newton... huh... anyways, my birthday is coming up so you should start thinking about what photos i might want and start shipping them out for September!!! hahahahahaaa.... anyways enjoy.

EDIT: this is so wtf im talking about right here... yeah man, yeah...

WHAT TO DO....

its a bit of a dilemma... some folks i know have started blogging and just like newbies to anything they are blabbing on and on about it. much as i did when i popped the internetblogcherry. it somehow worked it self out that the few local people i told lost interest and forgot all about it except for the occasional, "you blog, don't you?"... now here is were I'm having an issue. I've checked out their blogs and have enjoyed them... photo blogs and bigsur blogs and shit... i want to comment, but don't necessarily want them coming back here and blasting the voices all over biggie sur... how much shit do i talk about people and how many things would be misconstrued... gah!!

anyways, i like the relative anonymity that this has and for the people "in the know" its a nice way to communicate those feelings that i don't tend to share with them normally.... and you know how much i love pimping blogs and bloggers...

that's all for today, I'm actually outside in the yard for most of the day busting ass...

I FUCKING HATE THIS NEW GENERATION OF HIPPIES

I just got off the phone with a buddy who has been having an interesting problem. ground squirrels. they live in the state park here in town. its been closed for weeks now from the fire to the tourists.... hundreds of campsites sit empty void of life....


sort of....



during normal operation hours and year long filled to capacity occupancy this park is filled with people and ground squirrels. all whom have lost the instinct and ability to find a natural food source. with the massive amount of overcrowding and unchecked breeding these little fuckers have bred themselves into a dilemma. with no campers there is no food. no oreos, chips, hot dogs and hamburgers, no marsh mellows, no cheesypoofs..... whatever... they are starving to death...


sort of....


they are now moving into the small residential neighborhoods that exist in the park. tearing into trash cans and moving into/underneath the permanent homes there.... buddy is not allowed to shoot them, as discharging a fire arm in the state park is a felony. so after several meetings with the supervisors there he is allowed to and encouraged to trap and kill as many as possible at their residence. they have a professional exterminator consulting with the park and will be doing a park wide program as well...

whats the big fucking deal you ask?!?! a few cute and furry ground squirrels?!?!? ha, I've witnessed some of their carnage first hand. but to that later. first, they destroy everything in their paths. the undermine trees and dwellings with their burrowing. they dig holes in trails and leave debris in the wake. personal property is lost and foundations are compromised...etc... fuck em.



but wait! did you know that they are also cannibalistic?!?!?! i would not have thought so either, but as i said a moment ago, I've witnessed this myself.
buddy has set out various styles of traps for these vermin. from buckets of water lined with peanut butter, to live traps, rat traps, poison, etc..... with amazing success. twenty five in an hour i believe was last weeks record. wtf? and they keep on coming, wave after wave. they have lost their entire years garden, every flower, pepper, tomato, mint, all of it to these buggers. so its war over there...

yesterday we were hanging out at their house with them and watched him snap one in a trap minutes after it was set. dead, neck broke and skull crushed... he said "watch this shit, the other ones will eat it!". he threw it over towards the wood pile at the neighbors (fifty feet away) and seconds later this mid sized squirrel started to drag it away into the wood pile. another came out and stole it from him and then tried to drag it off itself. so we walked over there and wire tied its foot to a cement post meant to keep residents from backing into one of the many propane tanks stored there. we watched in horrific glee as one after another came and filled its belly with brains and eye balls, neck meat and innards. crows and blue jays were swarming in minutes and were actually chased off by these voracious fuckers... they yanked and pulled and fought each other for half an hour for what was left of this little bit of meat.
we broke out the binoculars to get a closer look. remember we were only fifty feet away to begin with, so with high powered scopes we could really see it all.... nothing looks more out of place than a furry little ground squirrel covered in the blood of its potential mate.... covered in it!!!

WICKED... EVIL WICKED....


anyway, why the title to this post you might ask?!?!? well on the other side of their triplex resides a sweet and innocent gal from the south. who happen to have some transient guests spending several nights on the couch. fucking rich hippies. brand new car with a "TREE HUGGER" bumper sticker on the back. along with several other typical save the fucking planet type stickers... i think it was an 940 Volvo or something....a flat of wheat grass on the back dash... anyway, we could feel their disgust and disdain for our sick enjoyment of the squirrel disembowelment.... after the three showers they took, one at more than an hour... (someone noted how long they had been in there, due to the fact that the shower window sits right above where we were sitting....)they still looked dirty in the store bought "handmade" clothing from abercrombie and bitch... yeah by children in Bangladesh asswipes.....
so yesterday, buddy gets home from a birthday party we all attended to find out someone has thrown away ALL his traps. the ones behind the garage, the tanks, in his own back yard, etc.... he digs through the neighbors dumpster (some of the live traps are not cheap mind you) and retrieves a couple of them. some seemingly purposely smeared in cat shit from the house next door. and some smeared in the fire retardant gel that remains all over the place through out the park....

I've got to say what he did next wasn't enough to me.... i would have bagged up a bunch of carcases and deposited them under the seats of these planet saving gold diggers car, but he did what he did and it was still funny.... i understand that its a tough issue. but the fact of the matter is... if people wouldn't be there in the first place these animals wouldn't have had the sustainability to overpopulate in the first place... nature and natural selection would have taken care of its self... but since there are tens of thousands of these creatures now, they need to be dealt with.... happy Sunday folks.

i havent done shit all morning....

i was reading blogs I've never been to this morning. mostly photo blogs from this guys blogroll. anyway i stumbled upon this blog here. i didn't quite get it until i read her post about ten pages in what was going on there. it freaked me the fuck out when i went back through the pages i checked out and saw what there was to see the way it really was... yeah.

in other news cheeses other dog who has been staying with us decided to go on walk about last night. two trips up and down the road and two arguments later we went to bed on either side of the mattress. hrumpf.dog was found this morning.

i just realized that with this mornings links I'm now posting alot about rubber dolls... weird. i need another cup of coffee.

i think that when I'm done fucking off at work this morning I'm going to treat my self to breakfast at deetjens. yeah, that sounds real nice to me.

WTF?

I READ THIS COMMENT ON A COMMERCIAL BLOG TODAY ABOUT THE DEBUT OF A NEW BLACK BARBIE....

"The arrogance of white people never ceases to amaze me. Are you stupid or do you just not get that you DO NOT have a say so in what WE, African Americans, can call ourselves. You don't own us, you really don't give a sh*t about us, just here slummin' on a black blog. Mind your own business. Bet your silly ass would NOT stand toe to toe with any African Ameican and spew that sh*t."

wtf? is the ignorant one the doll maker, the sorority or the commenter... you decide.... i just noticed their wonderful spelling in their comment too... (Ameican...)

three pics.

THESE CAME OUT BACKWARDS, OH WELL... this is a dc-10 that bombed the ridge on the other side of the canyon from us.... imagine a passenger jet flying at eye level... that's not fire retardant... those are the ground up bits of the people who didn't pay for first class tickets...
this picture is of a twenty thousand dollar mistake... they dropped the stuff on the wrong side of the mountain....

this is a pic of some of our group that were having a couple of beers and showing some appreciation to the pilots who were bombing... that's all i found on the net to steal from my friends... anyway... yeah, that's us, that's how close they were and how much fun we managed to have during all that.

is it real or is it memorex?

IT TOOK ME ALMOST AN HOUR TO BROWSE AND RE COMMENT ON FOLKS BLOGS THIS MORNING!!! sheesh, the things i get paid to do....
things are back to stress level high here this morning and wtf? i don't miss this shit. we have all three office ladies in the house trying to catch up on the missed work, wrongly posted data and new computer hook-ups and Internet... hahahaaa....
i finishing the exhaust install on the crane and should have the bugs worked out of that by Thursday afternoon! we will see what we will see when we see it i suppose....
so i don't know if everyone got the joke from last night, but cheese is not pregnant... so don't start sending me baby shit and formula... whew... if we did ever have a kid though id want to name it Chaos... i think that would be a bitchin name and quite fitting. cheese does not agree. no one agrees with me on that one... Chaos, fuck yeah! "there goes zacks kid, what Chaos..."


what do you think?

SO FAR BEHIND

I HAVENT POSTED SHIT IN SO FUCKING LONG!!! WTF!!! im used to cranking out mulitiple posts in a day even! with fun pictures and jerk off thoughts about the world and people around me. i started reading back through this months "work" and how lame am i!!!

so besides all the shit ive been bitching about theres more! can you believe it? hahahahaaaa, just fucking with ya'll!!! im finally back on the drinking and cant wait to start over doing it daily once again, i spent the weekend on the couch. literaly, you could hear my stomach fucking growling from across the room! i wallowed in it. i relished in the fact that i watched three asain movies with subtitiles AND the special fetures also in subtitiles on saturday. sunday i was even a bigger piece of shit and watched the worst videos in my collection on purpose... just to prove to my self how wicked lame and useless i had become...( i was in serious pain and hadnt eaten anything but yogurt in three days, but that is of no matter any more!!!)
i used to embrace the pain! love the misery! enjoy depression and all the good alcohol that came along with being a loser....


where did i go wrong?!?!



so now im back and ready to move forward and start sneaking in some blog time at work again and accually answer some of my bitchin fucking comments!!! you guys rock, but there is nothing sweeter than commentsie backsies!!! so as mj said a post or two ago, hmmm. well fuck...it been so long now i cant remember.... some thing about a zack attack, i'll re-up my commitment to you all and have a post a day this week with the aforementioned commentsies backsies and try to liven things back up around here... yeah...

new news you ask??? well cheese is pregnant with my child......








fucking got you with that one didnt i? hahahahahaaa....
we have mice in the kitchen as of late, sucks yeah, but we are killing them one at a time... they seem to like one trap in particular and go kamakazi on that shit every other night last week. we have cheeses old dog with us since the evac and have been rehabing this guy before we return him home... the lawn we put in is holding and doing well for the lack of attention we give it. we now also have nine foot tall tomato plants!!! no seriously! real tomato plants, not the OTHER tomato plants... remember those were called JAPANESE MAPLE TREES, sheeseh....we are slowly moving all our shit back in, and reloading all the fire arms and placing them behind doors and under pillows, next to the couch, back pocket, freezer, dresser drawer etc... like every good american should do right????

well i aint gonna bitch about the speel check shit, as you know at this hour im on the macdialupshit...so evening to you all and let the voices back in!!!!

YEAH, NORMAL.

so... computers are back up and almost operational. i am gonna have to de fucking bug this thing again. it wont let me load the pictures i want... anyway... its way after work and they were asking me to try the new faster Internet shit, so here i am writing a lame post. thanks for all being so patient with me and writing all kinds of nice things. I'll be back to normal postings soon and yes there will be more that assholish self here to share... (i know you all were getting sick of the woah is fucking me routine anyway... so yeah, this is what i have....

The days go wizzing by and as happy as i am to get back to work today the more nervouse i am about leaving my house. first day back and big sur is indeed a moon scape. its wild and the real fun will be this winter when the rain starts. these now unprotected hillsides will hammer down into the yalleys and unleash a torrent of rocks and mud... where will the government be then... the news crews...

i would post some links to some pages in the papers that have been of interest for me and all in big sur.. but its a mac top and as usuall im not mac savy.. one was written by cheeses mom in the herald. several were about the boys on apple pie ridge and another was on cnn.com..

anyways, im fucking beat and we still can see flames from our road and our house when the smoke blows in another direction than right over us. we have been working our asses off and taking days off inbetween. the other day we had a bit of a bbq and folks from our neighborhood all came up and swam in our pool, hung out on the grass naked and brought their kids, supplies, good vibes etc... i installed my pop up shade out on the point and folks have been watching the air show and flames at night. we had one of the biggest bombers helping out our fire brigade do their backburn and retardent. it was a dc-10, imagine a passenger jet flying by at eye level and dumping a quarter mile of bright red shit every where!!!

other things float around in our heads, how will the chemicals they are using affect our water, what kind of animals will be lurking around up here now... what will our creek do where we get our water... how will our road fare after all this fire clearance..etc. etc...

my landlord came up and helped for several days and gave me his chainsaw to keep for all my hard work. also knocked some rent off for the month, sweet! we have also been drinking non stop, our house guests for the last week, who were evaced from their homes, left this morning and even though its nice to have a slightly more empty, we miss them. the drinking will have to resume some time later, ive picked up that wonderful little anal themed bug and have been running to the bathroom to fart every hour on the hour it seems...

i wish i could post some of the wicked pics we have taken, but in the following weeks i hope to do some of that. our office is almost empty and operating at bare bones at the moment. the ladies have set up a temporary station in town at our number two guys house. i havent mentioned many specifcs here as im not wanting everyone and the fucking mom googleing shit about the fire and landing up here... but you all get the picture! have a great evening and as always i miss you all and love your comments....

NEWS?

GENERALLY IN MY LIFE NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS... the winds seem to be in our favor today and i believe they have started a back burn this morning a canyon away from us, so thats seems to be more good news... big sur is a fucking mess... the sherriffs have declared a sort of marshall law there and are arresting people on site... ??? the chp have been a bit more helpful and not as harsh. some people seem to be able to get supplies in and move around a bit while others are not being able to leave their properties for a split second... there are so many people in charge its like a cock fight. some members from our local fire crew have bee reported awol with equipment, fighting fires on their own ridges and homes i imagine. one land owner (where denim lives) lit his own back fire and they have been fighting it on the front lines of their own property for a couple of days now.. the sherriffs might try and make an example of him by arresting hime for felony arson when this is all over... wtf? others that have been evac'ed have had no contact with their loved ones who have stayed.... this is a painfull time for all. we are doing better than most, not as well as some but not in any danger as of yet... i should be able to get back here a little more often... i hope... be safe all and remember to wear your condoms!!!

I THINK THE INTERNET IS GOING TO TRY AND FUCK MR RIGHT NOW... SEE IF I CAN POST THIS....

BEST THINGS IVE HEARD SO FAR....

the folks who have survived these fires are now experiencing guilt... the home next door burned to the ground and their home a hundred feet away is still intact.... its tough i guess when that happens.

something else i heard today was "it was enjoyable to talk about and be a part of until it turned towards our house...."

and "she was so pissed that he didn't take the dogs..."

"why" i ask. "they weren't even on the property when he was there getting all their paintings and a truck load of their belongings..."

"well, he should have found the dogs, that fucking bum."

she being the wife of the man whose ex-son-in-law went up to their property while they were out of town to retrieve any valuables along with his children's belongings and some of his exwifes stuff, because their mother was too far away to make it happen herself...

"um, those dogs were at deetjens. and they aren't even married any more, he did that out of the kindness of his heart... why is he a bum?"

"he should have found those dogs..."

"the dogs showed back up there today, and they still haven't returned from vacation yet so what gives?

"hes a fucking bum...." she mumbles and turns back to her desk.

with all the hubbub and rumors flying around, i think I'm going to go home and not go out until Monday when i have to be at work!!! have a great weekend all and be safe eh?

we are fine

it funny how shit always flies at the same time in the same direction! first our water was a problem, now our home phone is on the blink, then today they shut my cell phone off. i called and they had no idea why? i haven't even received this months bill yet. then they told me that my next bill would have a thirty six dollar reconnection fee attached to it? what? hello? so after thirty minutes of sitting on the side of the highway and going from dept. to dept. i finally get the charges reversed and "have a nice day? what?
anyway, the fire is just consuming everything in its path and they have all but stopped fighting it. they wont go up or onto roads with no access to a way out other than the way in. they aren't trying to stop its path anymore either... so homes are burning. its all the way into the south coast now and they have evacuated my friend wango. they are not letting anyone(hardly) down the highways and there are more pieces of equipment sitting on the side of the road than are fighting the fire... sitting there, doing nothing... idling away the hours... its so disheartening and frustrating...
that's all folks and as of now we are in the clear and aren't in any immediate danger... lots of good thoughts to you all and thanks for all your support and prayers... i will be back to normal blogging habits soon!!!

SO MUCH FOR RUMORS AND THE MILL

after a nine hour day of driving to the city and back to pick up our rebuilt transmission (finally) and returning to the office only to find our town in a complete state of hysteria, did i start the rest of my day. cheese is sick out the nose and is feeling the love the nasal gods.... our town is in the highest state of fire rumordom.. code fucking red... its sickening... in a communitity where everybody knows everything about everyone, its no shock that when tragidy strikes so do the know it alls. i had several phone calls asking about how the fire is doing by my house... WHAT? the fire is miles and miles miles from us, but i had to ensure them that cheese had driven herself personaly to this supposed fire site and saw nothing other that the fire twenty miles from us burning away... and that was only the begining... i digress...
the fire is fucking us in the ass with its hot poker in many other ways... the mini-cheeses dads house is in imminant danger still and "the new sherriffs in town" will not let them up to retrieve any more belongings today. as of the fire meeting at our multi-agency facility sixteen homes have burned. all of them we know and have been to, most are of people we know or who live in them and lost everything they couldnt put into a couple of toyotas.... ive seen cell phone pics better than any ive ever seen on the news or in the paper... i pray for these people...
last couple of days we have driven up to a look out here locally and watched the bombers and choppers dumping load after load... today we were informed that they have taken the majority of our resources away for other fires that threaten more homes elsewhere in the state. i care as much for those people as they do for me.... it was dissheartening to only see a couple of airborne fire fighting units in the sky this evening compared to the multitude of them last night. and the fire is bigger and moving faster than last night as well... so watching haulers with dozers leave the area didnt bode well for my solo ride home...
it will be a new dynamic here, businesses are being shut down and people evacuated, locals are hanging out in parking lots trying to go on in a normal fashion, what else are you going to do. they have shut down the highway in areas and so far its been up to law enforcements descretion as to who and when people can pass...

badge and a gun makes certain people do the wrong things at the wrong times... i wish we had more humble police helping us here... we are all not pot smoking, tree hugging hippies... some of us work, live , love and contribute here.... we need not be treated like we are smuggling something or being dishonest when we say we are helping someone evacuate or are simply trying to go home after a 72 shift at the hospital...

im spent and keep promising to do things im not able to do... so thank you all my bomb ass readers for your wicked support and checking in and your comments... im here, availible for what ever... just cant do my usual blog routine as of yet... ive lurked in several places this week and looks like you guys are keeping it up, so gla to be a part!!! have a safe and sound evening....




yeah, enjoy all the speeling and punkuation errors... i, uh... left them in on porpus!!!


*slinks off, feeling stupid that he cant spell on top of everything else*

ANOTHER FAST ONE

so big sur is on fire again... the girls are quite stressed out that it may affect/burn their dads house.... its huge and i guess there has also been a massive rock slide as a result of the fire. i spent several hours yestarday listening to the scanner and trying to take photos of the massive thunder and lightning storm that hung directly over us. massive. hope my photos work out, i'll post them if they do! today is the memorial service for my friends husband... over a month has past and it seems like yesterday that all went down in the garage...
im slowly loseing speed and momentum at work and in life.... im always tired, a fucking grouch, too lazy for much sex and sick off and on constantly... i never took that vacation and i need it...
anyways, hope yer weekends have been great and i'll be back to commentsie backsies and all that jazz soon!!!!

man oh man...

so the suffering still continues... to top it all off its so damn hot here (over one hundred degrees) that i cant hardly tell if the sweatyness I'm experiencing is from the heat or coming from my ass....

anyway, I'm still too fucked up to post anything of any substance so here is a link i thought was interesting for those of you who have a cell phone and are thinking of purchasing a new one. this might help sway your decision one way or another...

I'LL BE MIA FOR A BIT LONGER

so ive been to the city and back, weve lost all the water at our house... twice, my cousin from canada rolled up from l.a. after buying a monster truck, i had the worst case of acid reflux in my life and spent the night outside naked barfing on my feet, took off work today to recover... i'll be back kids! thanks for checking in!!!!!!

AS LIFE WOULD HAVE IT

cheating on the Internet for just a moment! thank you all for your comments on my last several posts!!! I've been trying to get this crane finished so things slow down here at work. incredibly busy, whew!!! then this morning we have no water at our house!! three women and no water, i cant begin to tell you what kind of issue that would be by lunch time... i found the problem and didn't have all the parts so the landlordian is coming up today... I'm hoping to get off work early enough to catch him on site and not have him running around the property un-supervised!! hahaha... miss you all and will try to come back this evening... we have a new phone service/setup at our house and it doesn't seem to wanna let me get online... grrummmpppfff...

EDIT: no shit storm as of yet, i did think at first that the "no water" at my house this morning might have had something to do with sabotage... but no, just broken male pipe thread fittings... beau will now be wearing a "slip fit" muzzle in the mornings for his poop and pee time. i cant think of another way to let him out to do his business long enough in the mornings with out some sort of adult supervision. and when ever he is out on our property he will have to wear one. our other neighbors dog bit buddies wife/girlfriend last month... i think there might be some merit to the theology "laws of attraction". they must be thinking that they are going to be bit. and besides the guy was trespassing and driving his dirt bike on my private driveway/road. he has a water system down at the creek that he accesses through our property. his actual easement is through our other neighbors yard, not ours... push comes to shove, i didn't see it happen, so i cant be sure it was my dog, he was trespassing and I'm sure i have bigger guns next to my front door than he can carry on his dirt bike!!!

I'll try to give you a better post soon! tomorrow i have to drive up to Hayward to pick up our transmission!(hopefully)

damn man...

my dog bit the neighbor i dont know on the arm a couple of good ones this morning.... we will see what level of shit storm this brings down upon me.... fuck.

friends

we are headed over to my friends house whose husband hung himself last manth to d a bit of surprize gardening. he used to do a bit of garden work and her yard has since turned in to the dog shit zone... so some people got together and organized a yard day... they got a truck load of good soil and several pallets of sod, a truck load of bark mulch and some cool prefab fencing. she has a jappanese tea garden in its begining stages and we will finish it off. many plants and bulbs(i know its a bit late for those, but they will be nice to watch grow for her in the years to come...) have a great saturday kids and i'll be back...

I FEEL A BIT OF POWER DRINKING COMING ON!

today was pure hell... my parts didn't show up, we had part of the "dream team" show up and start welding and grinding metal on the table right next to a freshly rebuilt eight thousand dollar engine head. "

"I'm over it! your fucking dream boys out there just wasted a week of work!" i said as i blasted through the office to get some final paperwork done.

"why don't you work on your conversation skills there, sweat pea." my boss responds.

"i told them this morning that they shouldn't weld on my tables today, i put a shop cloth over the engine head and reminded their foreman that they are not to be welding around the crane. they used my shop cloth to cover the bullshit they are working on and left my shit out in the open, they are filling it with metal shavings!!! i unplugged the grinder, told him to weld on the bench in the shop and don't fuck with my shit. he looked at me and tried to plug in the grinder to keep working." i stammered.

"what do you want me to do about it?" he causally asks as he turns up the volume on the computer while streaming the golf masters...

"nothing, i cut the fucking cord off the grinder and ripped the breaker out of the breaker box for the welders. it should take the rest of the day for them to fix it and the, the beginning of the week for "big cheese" to tear the head back down and clean it out! do what ever the fuck you want, I'm outta here! thanks for all your help!" i damn near yelled.

his face drops and he runs out into the shop....

have a nice weekend folks, I'm hitting the sauce.

cheese and i were checking out all of nations bitchin garden posts as of late and she was feeling my garden post did not do us very much justice! (there is three different links there, if you hadn't already figured that out!) so she has volunteered to take some real pictures and do some guest posting here on the voices!
as i was telling nations earlier, it is quite important for us to feel like we are "keeping up with the Johnson's" and our garden will not be out done! so cheese will be here in the next few weeks or so with her version of our garden... and perhaps even learn the importance of commentsie backsies too!
this day has been the fourth day in a row of work hell kids and i have nothing new to add or to enrich y'alls life with today so enjoy yourselves (but not too much, especially under the desk at work!) and have a great day!!!

something political!

well, in California we have just finally legalized gay marriage... I'm down with that. i mean who gives shit anyway, its a failing institution anyway... i see it all over. I'm in the middle of someone who is working on terminating theirs... so i think everyone should have the right to fuck up their lives they way they see fit!!!

for a different perspective go here! random has a solid relationship with her man, and i am happy for her and her random man!!!

anyway, i liked the motivational poster and thought id rummage up some drivel so i could post it! now, seeing the rainbow sticker on cars will bring a whole new image to my mind!!! i love rainbows!!!

nothing new as i am spent

today I'm spent. two kids to call helpers today and a slew of fucked up shit at work. wrong part, people wanting stuff loaded all day, a truck that needs a major clutch adjustment, a dozer that needs seals, i still need to tear into the crane turret... etc, etc, blah, blah, blah....

I'm beat kids and its finally getting warm outside... nothing like two hundred degree hydraulic oil running down your arm and face and it being over eighty degrees outside... yeah, I'll stop boring you!

thanks for all the nice comments on cheeses garden! she will be undoubtedly pleased!!!

some more phone pics

these are our seven foot tall peas!! and a baby Japanese maple tree. (never mind that...)
a lousy shot of our gray water garden. it gets all the water from the upstairs laundry and sinks and tub.... cali-lillies, mint, abijillion kinds of flowers and wild strawberries....

these are the first beds i built almost two years ago. we way over seeded them and have not had to touch them since. they just keep pounding out new and different flowers year round. even in the snow...

our pumpkin patch next to "the swimming pool". notice the four different types of grapes on the fence behind?!?!
in this picture we have another shot of our peas, next to the carrots and radishes, beets, chard, corn and bush beans. cheese has two different types of egg plant and three different peppers. the raspberries are just getting established.
another shot looking down at it all with small view of the yard in front of the house...
here's a further back view of some other beans and purple potatoes, four varieties of lettuce, volunteer tomatoes and flowers and such.

oh, our soon to be record breaking sunflower. this beauty started in the middle of winter and is already over seven feet tall. its been growing over a few inches a day! I'm bummed i didn't get any shots of our fourteen varieties of tomatoes... anybody have any ideas what the small black spots on the leaves on our "early girls" are... they already are producing some tomatoes, but are getting these spots on their lower leaves...

cheese also just planted a bunch of different squash and zucchinis... so when this shit all starts producing vegetables i expect y'all to be at our door step with your Sunday bests and big empty baskets to help cart it all away!!! this is what i have as far as a post today!!

WOW!

LOTS BEEN GOING ON HERE ON THE VOICES THIS WEEKEND IT LOOKS LIKE! asides from the drunken partying, gardening(which i brought pictures of) and weekend revelry there seems to have been a lot more going on that i missed out on.

today i have cheeses dad, aka: the big cheese, here again helping me again and as an added bonus I'm babysitting, errr... guiding another one of of head honchos children into the glorious world of diesel mechanics today and for the rest of the week!!

so I'm fucking busy, alas... I'll try to sneak back here at lunch... but a couple of immediate things...

first nations! thanks for pimping me out on your blog, i got mad traffic that day and loved your post!

suz, ??? what happened? I'm so out of the loop, but I'll track back and see if i cant figure it out...

everyone else, thanks for all your awesome comments and replies and will get back to you all shortly!!!

if anyone can clue me in as to what was happening around here while i was gone that would be great!!!

WOAH, HOLY SHIT!!!!!

as you all may know, I've been working on our crane. thirty minutes ago my helper(who is about two hundred and twenty pounds) climbs up on to it(the fenders are ten feet in the air) and decides he is going to fall off backwards. I'm watching him as he grabs a hoist strap and unhooks it as he falls backwards off the fender towards two full 55 gallon hydraulic barrels.

BLAM!!!

buddy hits his hand on the barrel as he plunges to the ground back first with the loosened strap firmly in his grasp...

DUFF.... he hits the ground on his back and with a whiplash motion smacks his head onto the compacted decomposed granite.

i put my hand on his chest to see if he is still breathing, nope....

i talk to him and tell him to "FUCKING BREATH DAMMIT!"

his eyes are open but not pointing in the same direction. one is looking over my left shoulder and the other is kind of swirling around in circles in the sky. his heart starts pounding!!!

"OH BOY, BUDDY, YOU BEST START FUCKING BREATHING"

"GASP, SNORT, BUWHAAAA..." he exhales gasping for air as blood starts oozing from his nose...

"keep on breathing asshole..." i say while frowning at him...

"fuck you, my back hurts... " he replies and tries focusing in on my face.

"yeah, good. you just fell like ten feet. remember that?"

"yeah, i do, my back..." he groans and closes his eyes...

"keep your fucking eyes open and stay still. do you want some water?"

we shoot the shit for a minute and he lets go of the strap finally. hes bleeding from his hand a bit and wipes the blood from his nose... he lifts his legs and turns his head and i help him roll over onto his side.

"hey, help me up..."

"fuck you... you think i want my back to hurt as well?"

we go into the office and i sit him down and give him some water. call the health center and they are out to lunch... I'll be leaving to take him there in a few minutes...

ever seen anybody "knocked the fuck out"? crazy shit man.... have a good weekend all!!!

go green!!

this is one of our excavators in action!

sweet, sweet action!!!

this is actually a comment i left over at csi Seattle's blog. he was having some troubles with a few commenters about one of his posts. he drives a big truck and enjoys it. some folks didn't appreciate his enjoyment or his big truck. left him some not so nice comments and he didn't like that at all...

its a big truck truck, who gives a shit. I'd drive a jacked up hummer if i had the money, my licence plate would read "yeah i am that asshole you bitch about."

i am the kid in school your parents warned you about as well...

i wanted to give him my side or version about how i feel about these high and mighty folks who "care so much about the planet". here was my comment, in case he deletes it. he doesn't want heat in his comment box and this might stir it up over there. sorry csi...


"that's pretty ff-ing funny if you ass me. the drama that is... I'll give you another side of the truck driving/gas wasting vs.hypocritical save the earth angle... where i work the trucks are all big. massive. our smallest truck is a crew cab f-250 long bed. we have transfer haulers that average about 4-5 miles a gallon (when empty of dirt, equipment, etc), transport trucks, portable concrete batch plants, thirty some odd pieces of equipment ranging from backhoes to bulldozers, (bigger than tanks, try a cat d-9 on for size)anyway, where we live folks are all about building green and carbon footprint, blah, blah, blah... do you know what it takes to build this stuff? first any of the materials found in these homes is manufactured "somewhere" right? well then its shipped via cargo ship, train, plane, transport hauler, etc... across the globe to the home site... which uses fuel, oil, kills animals in various ways right? then we haul our soot belching equipment to the pristine ocean view they spent millions buying,(i wont get into the evils of money here)and we dig. disrupting local plants and animals, ripping out trees and the like.then we line the dirt with various forgien materials, anti moisture barriers, plastics and treated gravels...lay a foundation you say? well then we bring in more trucks and pumps and will spread hundreds of yards or concrete embedded with fiberglass which will encase miles of wires and plastic tubing and conduits, galvanized pipes and the like...the wood used to form these foundations is normally discarded... thousands of board feet of lumber dumpstered... then we haul off your dumpsters in our d.o.t. rated dump trucks...when this is all done we dig large holes in the earth and install huge fiberglass tanks and trench in hundreds of feet of plastic piping so they can have the ease of flushing a toilet... then fifty or more feet of "leach fields" where the excess "black water" will run off and into the ground for years to come...lets take a little break here and realize that you cant get the next phase of your "green built" home done without construction work and construction workers. they will not be hauling their equipment and building supplies there on top of their prius or echo. they will need trucks, lots of them, four wheel drive versions to get up the dirt road we hacked into the side of the mountain and over the bridges we built with steel shipped over from china and Taiwan...when all this is done, the customer would generally like several back-up power options installed in to the network of the house. so we install generators and solar systems... (did you know it takes more energy and electricity to build a solar panel than it will ever produce in its life time?!?! ever! it could produce power for a hundred years and still not even come close... just thought you should all know that.) now the home owner will want to protect their home homes with some commercial grade chemicals rights? stains and weather proofing and the like right? i know there are some organic paints and stains, i have them in my home. but the average home builder does not like the maintenance involved with these products, so they use the ones with m.e.k. nasty stuff, makes babies with three arms and shit...then they will need to get water, either by drilling into the earth and finding it or tapping into a spring or pulling it from a nearby creek. more pipes, more wires, more fuel/energy/plastics into the air... and it lowers the aquifer an/or surrounding creeks.now they move in and want shit like t.v. and phone, perhaps some high speed Internet. more trucks show up and hack down some trees and set up plastic dishes and telephone poles and more cables and wires and fiber-optic nonsense.
is your home feeling green now?
so when you are out driving around in your hybrid feeling smug about how you are saving the world one step at a time your not... unless you live in a hollowed out tree stump and fly a kite to work, you are no better than anybody else who drives a four wheel drive truck to work and gets a sense of enjoyment out of it..."



wait until i post about how California should secede from the nation and we should start a "don't ask, don't tell policy with our working friends from the south....
