Our sons Awesome field trip to ibew and carpenters unions training facilities

Update from my 06:00 post this morning I ramble we got home they hit community pool with friends dad is third wheel,Boys and I ate cheeseburgers for lunch I listened to them what they thought of their morning hanging out with tradesmen journeymen union workers their response dad that was so cool idea . We stopped for lunch a bar biker bar I used to hit when I drank but this bar has some of the best cheeseburgers and we sat at table. As we sat waiting on the waitress I said to our two 15 year olds you think those dudes voted trump sitting at bar I guarantee those turds did boys.

Then the one dude sitting at bar on his way bathroom recognized me and said , hey man how can you ride with all that on your rocker he was joking referring to my sons. I replied no we’re in Tacoma today dude, he was being friendly he asked how old they were , and he said brother they both got you by at least 20 pounds I said 35 pounds their both what fellas 175 180 on weight they been power lifting he continued drunken talking I said man I’m looking for peaceful lunch alone time with my sons he got hint.

My boys on guard laughing nervous because of the clientele and my boys were like we ok here dad I said relax we’re fine , didn’t you see the sign no cuts at door and I’d never hang you two out in danger. But the burgers awesome here, so my guys got a understanding out of dad induced field trip. Either college or union trades your uncles steam fitter plumber and union electrician those trades will survive. Trucking union died along time ago scabs and now trucks be self driving in few years. Or you both attend in state university and your mom and I give you that education debt free and you get bachelor degree.

So my guys ask me what I wanted out life when I was young I said it Doesn’t matter Once you’re sister their oldest sister was inbound I told em. Any dreams I had university were gone and am I crying oh woe is me absolutely not. We had a infant and dad was out army teamsters freight we lived comfortably. We needed diapers baby chow a man has take care of his family, and as you two I was in love with all our children I said to quote their grandma my mom keep the horse in the barn translation keep your dick in your zipper.


Stay focused your almost there at 15 that’s why I do this today union trades or college your choice. After the boys ate their burgers they asked dad can we get 2 cheeseburger to go they were good dad yup no problem fellas.
