The young woman at customer service mentioned didn’t you return one of these before. Wow I’m thinking she recognizes me as I recognized her this time she had purple hair last time her hair was blue . I said yup Labor Day weekend I returned same item mam.

Nice kid I told her hey when you hit 53 or above the nose hair eat hair gets out control. Drives me nuts I am in to personal grooming. She laughed and said you remind me of my dad. Not sure if should have adopted her or not nice kid.

I am laughing as I sit on back porch boog the chocolate lab kids are sledding

Snow here first snow of the year and our sons. The boys and their friends are sledding in back yard and boog is having a blast. I broke out the two toboggan and rail sleds. Boog is happy because kids are awesome boog dogs love children.

1- were loaded with kids our sons friends the neighbors kids are here and boog loves all kids

2- man that’s me has grill lit for cheeseburgers and hot dogs

The sisters I refer to them all daughters the oldest girls friends of our boys are here sledding . The youngest girl is in first grade. And she is so sweet she took two rides down the hill. She the young child came to me and told me my mittens and snow suit are soaked.

No problem kiddo it’s covered I told her i tossed em in dryer. And now she is inside having chocolate milk sitting on couch with my wife and mother in law shooting the breeze watching the great British baking show with my wife and mother in law.

Boog got nervous earlier because man was not by the grill. Man was sledding and not watching the grill.
Boog licking man at bottom of hill

Boog - He says with licks get your scrawny ass man over to the grill mister stop sledding we have burgers and hot dogs to cook.

Boog used to go up the hill and down as kids sled but now at nine with hip problems no. So man boog are watching the grill getting it ready for tummy yummies.

First snow and I caught myself thinking of drinking

Even taking campral for alcoholism. I have had distance on campral with not drinking. I don’t know how it works I just know it works for me. I tell you snow is a trigger it sounds foolish I caught myself thinking of opening up well making a beer run I have no booze at house.

What makes me want to drink is memories of my youth in army west Germany in mech infantry battalion. I was never in a war I was lucky. I caught a PCs from 82nd to Europe over a ankle I busted twice on drop zones.

We always drank in army in garrison at Bragg in Germany we drank in garrison but also on FTX field training exercise reforger certain iron we had booze on apc or 113 the tracks. It was just normal at 20 years old the mid 1980’s we would score beer on economy doing training. Always winter it seemed because ground was frozen.

Another big trigger is smell of diesel fuel in cold like when I used union jockey. Snowing the smell of diesel burning as trucks idle when you couldn’t turn em off for fear of fuel freezing. It reminded me of apc infantry Europe that smell and I wanna drink.

Just alcoholism how it tries to work you this disease and it is a disease. I know I am not morally deficient I suffer from affliction. For 30 years I raised a family with my wife we are a couple. And I was union trucking I didn’t drink everyday but when I drank I drank to get drunk.

Smoking bud

I remember in 2009 the bush depression union freight was hurting massive layoffs. In my job I get pissed random it’s federal rules. And on that layoff I started smoking weed daily I could judge by seniority when I was getting my call back. And this was before years before campral almost a decade.

My wife mentioned doing bush depression for almost seven months smoking bud I hardly drank beer. Although my judgement was way off then the union freight company had mass call back and I had sit on personal time to clean out the weed from my system. And when I went back to work I never caught a random drug test for like 2 months better be safe.

I’m over my cravings I hope this morning I hit the pull up and dip bar with our sons. They love to outdo dad. Years ago when we had contractor do our deck and patio. I had him put in a pull up and dip bar in my mania I always have worked out since infantry. A ramble letting all know who suffer from the disease of addiction that TEB is sucking wind we’re all just human. And I cannot figure out this disease.

I love hearing boog the chocolate lab tap on deck slider

I was sitting this morning on back porch having my coffee and pipe. Sitting on top step of the deck and I hear tap tap hey man let me out. Illuminated by the Stove light I see a big chocolate face I smile and open the sliding door . After he uses the yard he always lays down next to me as I wrap him up in a old blanket for ear rubs.

I have had some amazing dogs over the years. From growing up as kid in Appalachia through thirty two year’s of marriage. I’ve taken them in as puppies as planned I even stole a dog once it had to be done I cannot stand seeing a dog chained outside.

Once I bought a German shepherd puppy for $20 in Fayetteville North Carolina in a bar parking lot off of these gypsy hippies. When I was stationed in 82nd. That was a impulse purchase as I was severely drunk on a afternoon. After I sobered up in my barracks room I realized uh oh. So I went to my plt sgt I need to talk I have a problem he replied what is it PFC. I bought a dog sgt. And I need leave to get him home to my folks.

My plt sgt said grab the dog dammit and we went to his house it was a quiet ride in his pickup truck. I knew I was ok after I scored case of beer and dog food as I was getting back in the cab my plt sgt was rubbing Ollie belly. So off to his On base housing upon arriving Mrs plt sgt was taken with the puppers cutenesses and he stayed with them until I got him home.

And years later our two oldest daughters still speak fondly of Ollie. They grew up with him he passed in 97. The girls were eleven and eight at that time tell you I got a lot for $20 with Ollie. Several years ago a friend of mine in union I was giving him rides to and from work. And his neighbor had a Newfie pup chained up in yard no food or water. I took him after seeing him like that for two days. He quickly developed Stockholm syndrome and today lives with our one daughter and her husband and his two year old boy.

And boog is a original he came to us free. I was helping a friend who had hip surgery and his wife. Feed their horses stack fire wood and I refused any payment. Several months later they had a new litter of lab pups as they breed them. And our son was young at time maybe five we went to their cookout. And this chocolate lab puppy was following our son around. And my friends said looks like your boy has a dog. I offered them $ 375 they said nope you helped us out he is yours.

And to this day when I see them I tell them beware of free. Free chocolate labs because he is a piece of work a original.

A nice prank in school today in guitar class

Our one son told me that the guitar class. Is to perform Greensleeves what child is this today at a school assembly. Instead they will start with stairway to heaven as a prank and then dive into free bird before they start as their guitar teacher is no stairway or free bird in class.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the one grandson is here runny nose a bit under the weather. Although being under the weather does not stop him from doing a toy box inventory this morning. I did not realize that we were doing a inventory this morning I need to get with the program.

I slopped my troops telling them about a fine nco I met years ago

Five young men this morning between the ages of sixteen and nine our boys and their friends . I made sos or cream chip beef and eggs to order from over easy to omelettes. And as we all were cleaning up after breakfast.

I mention to the one young man make sure that water is hot. As he was running water so we could wash the dishes I did not feel like running dishwasher. And I remembered this NCO a cook summer of 84 benning osut infantry in basic we pulled KP. That stopped after we tipped into infantry school and I caught KP twice I’m not sure maybe three times in basic.

The one cook was a E-6 a fine nco cool as ever with us private’s E nothing’s in rank. He was a black dude with a CIB combat infantry badge and a big red one subdued combat patch on his right shoulder. First time I saw him at like 03:00 on a hot humid Georgia morning I’m thinking oh shit it’s gonna be long day with this lifer. As kp was usually 16 hour day breakfast lunch dinner.

I was wrong in my judgement as this nco turned out totally cool. Example I was sitting peeling potatoes and drifting off to sleep trying to catch myself. And the staff sgt looked and smiled at me. He said hey I understand and then his history came out. He was a rifle soldier in Vietnam first infantry and after awhile. He extended to get out of infantry to stay alive and became a cook.

And he treated us really decent as the civilians workers in kitchen as well in comparing at 18 years old fresh to the army to our Drill sgts who were just doing their jobs. Fast forward several months later I just graduated airborne school jump school and I was walking back to barracks. We were in lapse waiting orders for 82nd. And this Chevy station wagon pulls up and I hear hey you wanna get a beer airborne and it was the SSG the cook from my osut cycle. I said sure let’s go get my friend Randall. And we went to his on base housing and drank beer with him and his wife. One cool ass dude that staff sgt a fine individual.

Drunk tweets F..king deep state

I am getting text from a former union teamster I figure impeachment hearings have him emotionally upset. I used work with this guy a huge trump supporter. They started around 09:00 this morning. It took me awhile to figure out that he was drinking. And I am responding with irony that just puts him through the roof. He has actually invited me to the bar to have a drink so he can kick my ass. With that text I knew he was drinking whiskey.

I told him no I have been sober now and I find that in my sobriety.It Really helps me focus on my deep state activities and I am getting a promotion in antifa. I then invited him to the local deep state meeting tonight I told him it is arts and crafts night. That caused a barrage of drunken trump supporter drunk text. I text back dude what with the negative waves chill I’ll pick you up for the meeting. I’m bringing a cake do you wanna chip in for the paper plates.

Mother in law wished me a Veterans Day toast I asked how about the boog

I explained look the boog the chocolate lab has been fighting a skunk insurgency for around nine years. He has been wounded and needed stitches rabies boosters has gotten antibiotics eye ointment for skunk spray. And countless baths to get rid of the odor and that is hard on him.

So he has a chest full of purple biscuits from wounds why it’s a fruit salad of ribbons and medals. Even though he is a career private always getting busted on UCMJ from my wife the boog is a dam hero.

I love my mother in law I love to aggravate her even more . And her and the boog have a love we tolerate relationship. Last time she was here like twelve days Boog went in and crapped in her bedroom and he never does that in the house. He was just giving her a message We know you have a home to go home to.
