Fluffy's Curmudgeon Corner

My official call sign at the county is 259.
During snow events I spruce it up to
Scorpion Sting259.
My call sign in the Army was Foxtrot77.
But most of the time on the county radio we just use casual stuff. So surprise surprise I’m Fluffy.
Before the proliferation of Cell phones. The county radio was very important and “Official”. Now it’s like the CB.

Ken gettin it dun on the road! Hopefully you haven’t had to endure any more human rear fissures today!

 

[Maryland998]

No unwanted crack sightings today. @GearNoir
Pretty uneventful day really. Roads are pretty lightly traveled with schools closed and everyone hunkering down.
Hope you had a good day. Pleasant surprise getting that package today. Look forward to giving her a go.

Tonights shave was a good one.
Fili 14 Especial
AP Cashmere Brush
Strike Gold Teddy Soap
CHH Tobacco AS

The post shave application of the aftershave resulted in some slight warmth. Which now has me thinking that this soap for me is in the OK category. Like the Teddy scent.
But being a soap snob. Performance has to be there. Just my opinion. Others may find it a great soap. YMMV
The Strike Gold pass around is on it's way to the next person. Guess what his name is .....yes ANOTHER Dave yowza.
Have a good night guys. See you on Friday.

Happy Friday Cadre.
Unlike some people here. I have to work today. Can’t Tele-Big Rig drive.
Hauling blacktop. When you drive to the store to look at the empty shelf that usually has toilet paper on it. And you didn’t hit any potholes. Your welcome.
Have a good day guys. Stay safe. Fluffy

I saw on 60 minutes I think. Yea they got the self driving tractors.
OTR drivers will be phased out slowly. You can use that technology to go from Depot to depot. Point to point they have already got down pretty good. They didn’t show it backing in to the loading docks. Short haul/delivery. And drop and hook local still will need dummies like me. Dump trucks and plowing like I mostly do. Would be very hard to automate. Too many variables and nuances. Not that guys like me are that special. It’s all the stuff we do out of the truck. And operations that can’t be programmed easily.
The robots are coming though.
24 years ago when I started big rigging. If you would have told me there would be a day when trucks would mostly be automatic transmission. I would have laughed. Well shame on me.

So I popped into the grocery store. And got stuck in line behind, the most annoying woman. I have had the pleasure of being around
Really annoying. She could ruin a Superbowl MVP's free trip to Disney World.
I am not sure if she knew she was actually saying it out loud. Her smarmy running commentary and critique of her fellow shoppers. Guess it's tough being the only perfect person in a
putrid disease ridden sea of peasants. Even when this crap all runs it's course people will still be practicing social distancing from her. Also noticed she didn't have a ring on. So any of you single guys want I'll get her number for you next time I see her at the store. Just let me know.
It's Friday we made it folks.
