Duncanpup's JournalWent to career day yesterday as a guitarist, I think I have a job offer once I retire.
So yes yesterday was career day at our local high school and as a union teamster truck driver/ yard jockey. I wouldn’t suggest this as a career so no on representation of the commercial driving arts as career choice.
Anyway if the students did not wanna participate in career day they had options.
Several movies
Chess club
Debate club
Or come to Guitar class to jam with a 56 year old who brings the funk or blues or chicken picking or jazz our one son asked me he said hey dad Mrs guitar teacher wanted to know if you wanted come in. As I’ve jammed with the kids over the years and the teacher is awesome she said to me once ,you always have a invite to come and she is awesome guitarist professionally trained Berklee.
The teacher is around my age why she even got the joke yesterday when I said to her what if Hendrix played with the partridge family and riffed off a funk version of I think I love you I said my wife had a crush on David Cassidy as a young girl , the teacher replied all of young girls had that crush. I personally like Reuben the manager I said.
And once again I had a blast with the kids and it amazes me these youngsters today are awesome in their playing. Why because they’re exposed to guitar lessons at school and then the internet these kids have so much available to them compared to our day with vinyls and trying to figure out say Bold as love or little wing or running with the devil . And some of the more serious pickers go there yep where do these young minds wanna go Van Halen or Hendrix or SRV why you kids are in luck because that’s right up my alley.
Although one kid did say you look like that guy from ZZ TOP i said young lady. It’s not intentional I’ve shave probably once every two years. So we yesterday went over chord inversions and dived into the CAGED system Hendrix or Curtis mayfield some blues turnarounds we even dived into piano chords on guitar and playing blues ,doing those trills it’s all to have good time yes kids see if we break this chord down then we can use our thumb over top of neck and move to chords and use our ring finger and pinky into these fills then hammer ons and pull offs.
And I love when it finally hits them and then they are off exploring it’s a good feeling, and as for the job offer after I retire it was this one young kid he said if you were my age I have you join my band. I smiled and replied thank you yet I’m not into death metal anything by pantera barf 
lunch was a bummer no sloppy joes on menu.
My wife is improving she's in hospital a ramble.
It’s lonely here the boys left for jersey early this morning to get their grandmother my wife’s mom and her aunt my wife’s aunt to bring them out to biglerville pa area they will be home Sunday. Sarcasm I do not do well alone after 36 years of being married and raising a family.
My wife fell Tuesday around 10:00 am in downstairs bathroom she passed out. And she broke her hip ankle they said ruptured a disc in her spine. She has a infection that caused this as she was weak and passed out ,yesterday was great day as she is awake and alert she has been out of it with fever, yesterday she asked if she missed thanksgiving I smiled it is her favorite day she was born 1968 on thanksgiving day.
I noticed my wife starting to just show illness Sunday she just looked tired dark circles under her eyes and I said we should go Docs Monday she said she will be fine as she was already on antibiotic for her bronchitis. Since 2.5 years ago when she had COVID pneumonia was in hospital three weeks then rehab she has struggled and I’m really in tune and watch her for any illness.
The dogs the dunk pup and chocolate menace are doing their part cuz they know their lady is missing they been shitting by the gate so she can catch the scent and find her way home. Mr big paws our fourteen year old golden retriever is my wife’s soulmate and he just stands in yard sniffing the air for her I hug mister big paws such a pure heart.
My wife has taken to sleeping in downstairs bedroom as I because it has become difficult for her to climb stairs we live in a old Victorian to explain why we choose now sleep in downstairs bedroom. Yet since Tuesday night we been deploying the huge air mattress so mr big paws dunk pup and man crash on it and we pack sleep.
We usually or I or boys will lift Mr big paws into downstairs bed so he sleeps with his love. I just don’t feel like sleeping in the bed so been using air mattress covering it over with sleeping bag. So just hanging out today was up 02:00 the sleeping bag by my ankle was wet from dunk sleep drool then did some worsh as my Appalachian grandma would say , I actually done two loads of worsh dried and folded.
Just a ramble I’m just I don’t know take it easy all.
A friend of mine told me his kids were making fun of him because he's older and forgetful.
He said wait till those little shits wake up Christmas morning and find painted eggs under the tree.
If Twitter goes down you'll be able to read my anti repig post.
On the walls of toilet stalls in mens rooms.
Does anyone else furry kids as soon as you lay down.
On couch or to sleep after third shift or say you go to bed and the dogs decide hey I think I’ll clean my furry rump.
And then the sectional or bed just bounces as they lick and clean and you lay going up and down on bed or couch. I appreciate hygiene I’m into it yet we’re about 25 minutes into this licking of the chocolate lab and golden retriever rumps.
So Boog shows up as I was dipping Hershey bar into peanut butter then the other two show to mooch.
Why they know man is soft shit man shares I understand pack etiquette. Then last night I said oh my god jiff peanut butter is up to $7 a jar. So we’re trying to figure out how lady can cut lady stuff out of her budget so we can keep getting high end peanut butter.
I have informed all 3 furry moochers that great value peanut butter isn’t bad thanks to Diamond dog reminding me.
Yet as three of the six dudes in ladies life three furry three human were looking at what beauty and bath products the lady can give up to keep peanut butter flowing. I have reminded the lady that boog is a veteran and it is Veterans Day and boog did ram the ramparts with George Washington at JFK airport doing the civil war.
I was there man Boog says at the ramparts and it was hell .I respect you boog and thank you for your service ok man now let’s start putting peanut butter on graham crackers big drooling.
At our work veterans will hang pictures on info board when they were in service.
For Veterans Day vets put up pics I never do because I never served in war. Yet the info board is also for union business.This morning leaving work I looked and this picture was friend Craig he’s 72 years old he will not retire take his pension reasons his wife passed and he’s lonely yet Craig is fine man and a awesome vet friend and union brother. I recognized who Craig was looking at pic from his tattoos looking at his photo today his tattoos they’re faded.
In pic he was in jungle fatigues just bottom in front of a fighting hole bunker no jungle blouse on scrawny bear chest wearing aviator sunglasses 18 or 19 year old grunt fighting hole dug in back of him and cut trees over fighting hole and soldier wearing headband with a M60 machine gun yea barrel pointing down on his jungle boot.
And next time I run into Craig I’ll ask him you in pic was thin , today you’re built like a potato joking.
