Island Of Misfits

Be careful in Chicago. The windy city will blow you away!

I am about 300 miles North of home, it is indeed windy up here, and quite a bit colder.

I didn’t wear a bulletproof vest, but I’m packin’, lol.
I am actually on the outskirts, and pleasantly surprised to find I am in a very nice area.

I lived there as an infant, in a south-central suburb (think it was Park Forest, or something like that) which used to be a pretty nice area

I used to live near Chicago from 69 until 2000. Joliet,IL. I moved because there was a drug bust in my driveway while I was at work and the kids were home. The neighbor filled me in….Guns drawn and everything. 2 people were running from the police and tried to hide in my driveway behind my car. I had a company truck. I used to Park me car on the very edge of my driveway so no one used my driveway as a turn around. The kids got home from School 30 minutes before I got home from work.

We lived there during the '68 riots. I remembered smelling all of the smoke

I used to work in DuPage county, cook county, will county, Ford county, Kankakee county and a few others I cannot remember. My area went all the way past Rantoul.

MLK Jr. had just been assassinated, and the DNC had their convention - both of which sparked riots

I moved to Joliet one summer and moved back to Oklahoma City the next winter. I had never seen so much snow, besides getting laid off.

I have sworn testimony from a reputable scholar that there ain't no clams in that bay!

Just returned from the doctor and ready to smoke a bowl or two. That's the best medicine

Once upon a time I used to rebuild cylinder heads, and hated when my tools got "borrowed" and I couldn't get my work done. My nickname back then was "Manic Mechanic"

Mom is coming home Monday

 

[Hippie420]

Glad to hear it, Jan. I'll bet she's glad to be coming home, too.

Jag, if there's one thing I hate, it's being in the middle of a project only to find that the tool I need is missing. Throws off my whole rhythm. I keep my tools organized so I know exactly where they are. Since my friend circle has pretty much died off on me, I don't have the problem anymore. The wife and kid aren't mechanically inclined.

Just got into the ceramic jar and snagged a jag of the Apple Sundae bud. It's way better than the original bud that the seeds came from

See ya's in the morning unless the Rapture happens.

Who am I kidding? I'll be here for sure! Good night.

 

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

Good morning brothers and sisters!

Cloudy today with sprinkles, starting at 41F and predicted to reach 60F.

Skipping early morning gym and off for an MRI of my lower lumbar this morning and an x-ray of my neck.

my one friend would barrow an expensive tool and I would be sure bring it back when done. Days turned into weeks , weeks into months, then I would ask where is that tool I need it. The ******* would say oh that's my mine, I never barrowed it. He aint no friend of mine anymore.
