Duncanpup
Duncanpup's JournalOn Racism. One of thee finest teachers i ever had was black my first PLT SGT.
Having coffee this morning decompressing after five day turn to Cali and back home. Anyway a Dunc pup bad punctuation dyslexic ramble 20 is away with his girlfriend at some romantic resort a weekend getaway i was not invited nor was Dunc the golden retriever.
I asked twenty WTF man Dunc and father we can cuddle is four a crowd.
Anyways so we ran southern route out of Cali and coming through Barstow middle night down California route 58 making for route 15 i started thinking as I drove about my first rifle platoon and my first time up at N.T.C. Fort Irwin and my first Plt SFC Lee maybe 1984 or 85. This man was fine N.C.O. a warrior and he had quite the resume two tours Vietnam first tour rifle platoon 101st second tour he was L.R.R.P.
As young kid in Eighty deuce it was great place to be always on the move i remember first time i met SFC getting to 325 PIR (PIR is parachute infantry regiment. I said excuse me Sgt Lee I think there is mistake and I’ve been trying to explain it since reception and in getting assigned to rifle company.
See SFC I’m pathfinder qualified after jump school I was sent to pathfinder school so shouldn’t I be in pathfinder company i didn’t ask I just got orders after jump school for pathfinder school and In his office he let out a huge loud laugh he said young airborne welcome to the white falcons 2/325. he then said i need knew RTO and you’re that trooper.
So for twenty some months before I caught PCS to West Germany i served with these men first humping the radio then on gun team M-60 machine gun then as fire team leader a lot of us were only 18-19 year old kids young alpha males we all wanted be in 82nd we volunteered.
I’m not bragging I’m trying to explain in that world there was no racism to quote SFC Lee he would say men.
There are those who can and do and that is us. And then there are those who think they can and can’t and they the fucks running the program.
Or men we are a wolf pack we live together we eat and sleep together one day we may hunt and kill together and God forbid we may Die together yet we are all we have.
And it was not blind allegiance in serving with these men it was a dedication a brotherhood we walked the razors edge as airborne infantry. I would jumped out any C-141 or C-130 four fans and trash can insulated to keep the noise in and I’d followed them falling to earth middle night to gates of the Kremlin.
And in carrying the radio i learned a lot about Lee he was obviously Jim Crow southern and he shared with me some of his life stories in racism. One in that he gave a white older lady a ride once after first tour Vietnam and her sons I think her sons said Nigger i quote SFC Lee don’t you ever give our mama a ride again or will hang you.
That’s fucked up I thought you survived year rucking up against NVA and you get home and deal with red necks. And we were out at Irwin in middle of the Mojave dark were all exhausted yet him and i sharing cigarette perhaps a shitty canteen cup of C-rat or MRE coffee under poncho liner in fighting hole we dug together for night.
Both of us giggling cuz the LT Lieutenant from first platoon is getting his ass chewed out by the captain over radio cuz he’s got his men lost trying to make for ambush site yea im old 58 in age i come from compass red lens flashlight and map navigation.
Yet SFC Lee was a Warrior Ranger Qualified he was S.F qualified yet he was a mystery here was a man who had no diploma high school dropout. He had GED yet he spoke two languages fluently he taught us how to Hotwire cars pick locks set up mechanical ambushes with claymore mines he’d say you may need these skills someday men thinking back now we were kids.
I think he came we don’t know I never asked he came from what you’d call Delta those guys over at JFK warfare at Bragg. I think he got sent down because of alcoholism the man had lot of demons I know I’d drink with him in garrison. Our NCO’s helped us make E.I.B. Course a fine award eight of us in my platoon if I remember three of us passed i was so proud I received that EXPERT INFANTRY BADGE.
And I owe my success to my NCO’s who stayed after 17:00 or came in on weekends to help us train to excel. Yet where I’m going with this ramble is i remember shooting the shit and saying to Lee who knows someday we may evolve as primates Sgt and not judge others cuz of skin color.
And here we are 40+ years later and we ain’t gotten anywhere in not hating others because of race this last election shows this let’s vote for orange moron billionaire and not a woman who is bi racial who wants corporations and wealthy to pay taxes.
Fucking Reagan both Bushes and Trump have bled us the middle class.
Ok D.U. Community headed gym remember love those you with hard and tight.
We live amongst scum.
Who would turn in a family of illegals or say family of Jews to Nazis.
And these fucks have no morals and they shit on the greatest generation that saved the world i absolutely hate them all scumbags.
Told 20 as I sat on couch with Dunc Amazon Black Friday Deals
Play those cards right son and Santa Paws may bring you a new squeak lamb bed as well. Told Dunc the golden retriever think we should add pork chomps on list to Santa he has his head in my shoulder leaning into me.
We’re in love Father !I wonder if I could pass him off as service dog at the gym this morning. I could hear staff sir your service dog is blocking the aisle seeking belly rubs.
Sir we’ve never seen a service dog wrapping his paws around your legs as you dead lift.
Probably not a good idea.
Memories this morning was talking to old union friend yesterday on phone.
And conversation after we caught each other up on guys we knew some still around others long gone.
The conversation was memories like it usually turns how good we had it and i commented yes trucking has always been a plantation and it was always best to work under a union card on the plantation.
The old joke from union companies especially as drivers
( If you Open up your pockets and will stuff them full of cash) especially for junior men on extra board two hour work call sometimes six days even seven days week bumping hours on our log hours service recap.
Or turning metro as in North Jersey or Queens Bronx or Long Island especially on weekends when those freight terminals were closed. Example in our conference every time we pulled a pin on trailer or trailers we got paid .25 clock time 6 sets doubles dropping hooking shuttling loads to metro barns or empties.
In theory dropping and making up a set is two hours pay .25 per pin yet you could do it tops half hour with pouring coffee and bathroom break at foreign terminal.
Three via is 6 hours clock time plus your mileage and running metro from home barn and back with VIA always 500 mile night.
Example 1998 I found 151 Preston 151 pay stub awhile back mileage clock time $250 night the one trip on that pay week and today easy $400 $450.
And no brag reason is we work union when i started there was at least 30 union L.T.L. carriers that were organized nationwide.
Some of them Consolidated freight Roadway Carolina freight were huge. And smaller organized carriers refereed as me to as in we worked under same contract.
And we started talking of how especially on metro board back then we all ran radios C.B. Absolutely in no rush we’d all stop at Midway diner on I-78 inbound and outbound everyone was in there Saint Johnsbury C.F. Roadway Carolina drivers and you all knew each other.
You may hear another driver from different outfit say coming out of North Bergen as you are going in and holler at them on radio you look good to 78 or 95 long before cell phones or see a guy you worked with and I’d say hey wake me up leaving Brooklyn hey stop at first Pennsylvania exit on 78 wake me up I’m gonna take nap will run back Hagerstown together.
And we talked of the characters we worked with some of these guys they broke the mold when they were born. One guy who always comes up was a linehaul ass and trash for Preston one night I’m sitting in diner over in Jersey and this is hooker sits down at the table as I’m enjoying my spaghetti and meatballs and says you owe me $20 I’m like huh.
Now I personally never messed with these women either in army or on road just i never did the idea frightened me especially in army and H.I.V . Uncle Sam drew blood every three months and say downtown Fayetteville or Frankfurt West Germany pay day half the division is in town at red light district.
And another reason i was married im not that ignorant to expose my wife.
Yet as freight hauler for same company yet here this guy passed off a fake $20 bill at night for her services. So he took off and guilt by association we worked same outfit I looked at the fake $20 I'm like huh handed it back told her and aint happening not my debt.
Or how I’d always get a chili dog and coffee off this vendor at our Bronx barn and even there the ladies be on the stroll they’d offer services yea no thanks hey get her a hot dog and coffee on me.
I felt bad for these women fuck what a shit life they lived probably addiction was why yet it be so cold and they’re working and I’d feel for them.
A fellow driver once told me as i was buying for the ladies on the stroll.
He said you got big heart i said look Christ ate with hookers and it’s considered ok i do it and you call me a sucker fuck off mind your own business.
Or he mentioned time we both left Buffalo on Via to York maybe couple hours apart back to our home terminal they dispatch was telling guys hey he’s around three hours late out of York arriving to Hagerstown .
Reason we was snowed in Buffalo getting paid to sit and by time we rolled i was beat you can only sleep so much in hotel and on I-81 used be truck stop called Pharos exit 29 Pennsylvania.
I pulled in ordered breakfast and then stretched out in booth and went sleep in middle night and my friend who i was talking with yesterday was the one who found me hey call in they’re looking for you. I was only maybe forty five minutes away yet i needed that sleep.
Oh well best sleep than have wrecker drag you out of ditch. I told Preston hey i was beat they never said one word about it my call although I find it amusing today that the waitresses knew me didn’t wake me up I was probably 30 at time and just let me sleep they knew i wouldn’t dine and dash.
Oh here’s a great memory Hagerstown to our barn outside D.C. I had go bed got paid 8 hours clock so I’m strolling in off route 50 middle night to terminal and i look over and see these sparks flying here these idiots were using I guess mason saw to cut A.T.M. out of the wall.
I never said one word at terminal hey none my business you wanna make quick buck by all means fuck the banks long before cell phones yet I had wait on freight and I remember I was supposed to go Tennessee on that one.
Hey no big deal was on clock yet i guess on bank video police saw my tractor i was driving go by.
Anyways night time dispatch comes to me hey police on way they wanna ask you questions took the local P.D. 6 hours to come ask me questions to this day i hope they got away.
Told my friend I’m gonna go turns next bid get off running team take Monday start weekends off no rush retire as my wife is gone.
Maybe three years I told him I’ll go pull it yet it was great talking with him we have not spoken in maybe year half.
Just ramble yes bad punctuation dyslexic ramble in remembering.
Golden retrievers sashay walking father squeak lamb needs to go on our walk.
Early this morning beating the heat Dunc and man. We walk in park and we pass dudes with Rottweiler Doberman German shepherds what people think as manly dogs and golden retrievers are not the manly dogs.
I love my boy I love golden’s why because of mister big paws RIP Mr big paws was bestest boy ever and I’m fortunate I knew him. Yet my boy Dunc is doing the golden retriever sashaying that golden’s do when they walk just moving those hind hips. And Dunc is carrying squeak lamb in his mouth on our walk.
Dunc had to go and get his squeak lamb so he could go on walk also as I grabbed his harness ok man we are going on a walk squeak lamb wants to come. And walking Dunc and the Floof fur I see on his bum that the groomer trims just makes me smile as we pass other dogs on our walk and Dunc carrying squeak lamb toy.
And dogs are just the best we do not expect much of them yet when they come into our lives we get so much.
216 months in fed prison Stewart Rhodes a domestic terrorist and a fellow vet.
Stew and i are prior members of the 82nd we’re both the same age fifty seven. I’m going back to work next Tuesday after vacation. Stew is going to Atlanta USP for classification and to wait assignment to one of the Feds U.S.Penitentiaries. Yes with that amount of time it’s gonna be a Prison no camp to start.
Probably best for Stew to get a blade real fast to protect his traitorous ass against the everyday violence. I’m not talking rape no decent convict is down for that shit I’m talking just for protection for survival of every day life in a U.S.P.
These vets that partook in attempted coup or who supports their orange messiah they’re just pure christofascist racist scum. Who betrayed the oath we swore upon enlisting, Now did I take the oath seriously in 83 when I raised my paw no not at all. Yet when trumpig was elected me personally I felt wow it is still binding.
I had conversation at work last week in parking lot with fellow union vet who flies trump 2024 and Hybrid confederate and US flag. I don’t get into the worship of the Stars and Stripes.
Yet I told the dude you know the confederacy stabbed this country in the back. He replied it was for states rights , yea and what kind of rights did the south want tell me. Exactly the right to own another human as slaves so pound sand maga alpha male is what I actually said and thing is he approached me to start conversation.
Good job to the Woke F.B.I. and the Fed prosecutors at the Liberal D.O.J. I now await you to do.
Mike Flynn is long shot yet I await indictments for many others yet especially these two former soldiers who swore that same oath as all of us.
Scott Perry
Doug Mastriano
Crush all these fucking traitors who tried to destroy our Madisonian democracy.
If anyone Vets were offended by this post then you can also Fuck off I just get very emotional over insurrection treason or sedition. 
Went to the lawn garden center to look at flowers.
The young lady super nice kid as she was making over my favorite son (Dunc pup) she asked what I was looking for. I said to her I’m looking to see if she had any flowers already dead that were potted or weeds I can do great weeds.
79 Tokai les Paul reborn for sale.
I don’t know the guy personally who is selling guitar only have talked to him on phone. He was put in contact with me through mutual person who knows I collect MIJ guitars especially from late 70’s into the 1980’s. Guy lives local in camp hill pa local sale or he will ship it to you he is around fifty miles from me yet is still using 406 area code from I guess when he lived in Montana.
The reborn are all on point as in Nitro finish long neck tenon. These were the flagship guitars one third of cost that sent Gibson running to their attorneys to file lawsuits impeccable build one piece mahogany back solid flame maple top Brazilian rosewood fretboard. They are well some MIJ guitar’s are just beautiful instruments in their own way and others are not as much just like American made guitars ,he is also I think gonna list it on reverb.
I’m not interested as the guitar actually is a replica of a 58 les Paul and neck is really thick. He told me on phone neck is more 52-58 years the reborn I have LS is more 59 - 60 neck bought it off another soldier in West Germany in 85 for I think maybe $200 who knew that I found a diamond in the rough at that moment. I’ve seen these reborn go anywhere from two to four grand. And one online for like $7000 clearly the seller is sniffing glue ridiculous for that price your already in Gibson custom shop range and then still have cash left over.
This guy is asking around two thousand to twenty five as it’s not all original I think new tuners and faber bridge tail piece pics show wear but that’s fine. Just tells me it’s been loved and played for the last forty four years. If interested DM me I’ll send you his cell for you to text him at a decent hour.
Called my former congress rep Scott Perry left a message. I now know why he didn't get that pardon.
Trumpig got one million Rudy got one million. So in my message I said maybe you can explain the predicament you’re in to special counsel. Because once you lose this last appeal over trying to keep the Feds from looking at your phone game over.
Maybe you could just explain to special counsel only if I had two million i would not be sitting here indicted waiting to go to trial over crimes I committed for my oranges messiah. And congratulations Scott I’m thinking special counsel is putting together conspiracy or a RICO case over your attempted fraud against the American voter.
I said you know we’re about same age we both swore oath to constitution upon enlisting you betrayed your oath ,and going to fed prison is not on my list of things I wanted to do. In the Feds you get assigned to either prison or camp and it depends on length of sentence is one of guidelines.
So if you end up in USP penitentiaries because you have a lot of months in sentence to serve I think over sixty months not sure ,your gonna probably have to get a knife to protect yourself against the violence. That violence will be much different that the trickledown repig cut benefits against the elderly or those in need violence that you currently partake in.
Going to call the vets this morning for Mr Big paws I'm wondering if he has dementia.
He is fifteen and he still gets around ok I mean he will have moments that we have to help him get up he’s on vetprofin. Yet we’ve all started to notice that he will wonder around the house especially in middle of the night he now is having the occasional accident in the house. He has accident then still goes to back slider to be left out then he stands looking like huh.
Fact is as long as we think he’s not hurting or in pain we would like for him to pass hopefully in his sleep here in his home and not at the vets. So I’m wondering is what I’ll ask his vet about maybe melatonin supplements to help him get back to sleeping at night.
He is such a majestic best guy and has given us so much. I remember the Saturday morning fifteen years ago. We were having breakfast out Liz and i and there was a flyer pure bred golden retriever pups no paperwork $200. Liz said let’s go look we called and this woman said they had two males left I stopped and got cash out ATM.
What a joke let’s go look at a Golden pup fooling each other we both enabled each other especially when it came to animals. Horses a donkey rescue all temporary yea sure.
I even bought a baby pig once yep to raise and slaughter our daughters named him and he started following me around when I’d take care of the horses. He actually followed us all around that hog passed of old age fat and happy.
