Dunc pup the failed retriever is beat he had it ruff it yesterday.

We took him fishing in the boat yesterday and he found out. That on the boat there is no sofas or recliners for a Dunc to lounge on and loaf. This poor dog had to lay and relax on extra life preservers, the plan was to leave him home with my mother in law. And as we left he started the howling wooo wooo the guys left me Nana you don’t leave a Dunc behind.

How I could hear him was my mother in law called me so we turned around and picked him up. Waking up around 02:00 the blankets that I sleep on top off in bed , where mister pup was sleeping were drenched in Duncan pup drool. And now he’s out cold on the back porch couch as I sit and have coffee. This is usually our time to reflect and have coffee’s and chew a bone.

We tell Dunc he is a failed retriever yet he’s a great Golden taker. As in socks slippers remotes come on you see I have it you know you want it come and chase me. Although the other day he actually retrieved our grand child sip cup, she is or was going through pacifier withdrawal and I told her no binks/Pacifier.

She pulled a wild thing pitch with her sip cup. And the golden shit head went picked up sip cup brought it back to her as in hey let’s do that again.

I just rubbed his ears and his head and the outdoor cushion he’s sleeping on is drenched in Dunc drool.He is a good boy especially when he is sleeping and the grandchildren love him, on Friday our one grandson wanted to blow off pre K and go to pup day camp with Dunc.

The boy was upset asking me why after we dropped pup off why can’t I go to pup camp with Dunc and play with the dogs I told him you don’t have your kennel cough vaccine. Ask your Mother and father get you the kennel cough vaccine and then you can go to pup camp. Then silence from the backseat I could tell he was thinking oh ok problem solved.

Fuck Biden - Jesus saves - 2A - Confederate flag - Trump 2024- Back the blue.

Decals that were on this raised pickup truck back window at the grocery store yesterday. That was my daily reminder that these degenerates live amongst us.
Also do you remember the 2020 conspiracy of Italian satellites changing the votes brought to us by Scott Perry. My former congress rep and 2020 coup participant yea that trump racist cult member the one who will be indicted first by special counsel in his attempt to sodomize lady liberty.

Well I’m starting to think maybe those same eyetalian satellites are messing with my Keurig. I’m almost positive I pushed the 12 ounce option it brewed the 6 ounce option. Or it could possibly be I wasn’t wearing my glasses and hit the 6 ounce brew.

02:49
Update it was the lack of eye wear in using the Keurig on the first cup of coffee.

A ? For Stratocaster players perhaps a riddle

Heard this today at lunch by another player.

Do you buy a Mexican strat made in Mexico and go for the upgrades.
Or do you buy an American strat made in Coronado made by Mexican Americans.

And in no way do not take this as racism one of the best pickup winders she’s legendary out Coronado fender was Abigail and she is Mexican American.

We picked up Boog the chocolate lab ashes. We were thinking of a Big Lebowski ceremony.

Maybe spreading his ashes at one of his favorite places in their parking lot saying a few words in his memory.
Wendy’s
Macdonald
Pizza shop
The Bakery
Dunkin’ doughnuts

The Boog loved them all we usually do not patronize these place’s except for the bakery pizza shop or D&D. The rule was you go to the yearly vet visit you get a cheeseburger when he was younger and over years we bent the rules , as in stopping once in awhile for the furry knuckleheads.

Boog be in vehicle and smell say fast food burger joint oh his nose would be busy and the drool. Then the barking come on man let’s do it.

Man - Boog seriously it’s not good for you and you have food at home.
I always spoke for Boog interpreting his barks and thoughts.
Boog - WTB what the biscuits man you’re a union truck driver not a K9 nutrition expert so just stop with the Dunning Kruger shit. So hard left wheel and roll through that drive thru dude definitely had attitude.

So at the moment we have him next to Liz , we were joking the Boog is probably haunting his favorite said places mentioned above like the ghosts of Ebenezer Scrooge.
I just find humor we all do Boog was an original nut.

Remembering this Russian Polish Jew we talked at pub called E.K.U. in Butzbach West Germany

Where I think I’m going with this dyslexic ramble is my hatred for the anti vaccine or Covid it’s a hoax types that surround us in every day life. Liz passed from long term Covid side effects question is would she have contracted Covid if the response to the pandemic was handled differently don’t know are these anti vax morons responsible for her death no not at all.

What I do know that Liz’s reality after her 2020 infection and spending six weeks in hospital and rehab combined in 2020 because of Covid and pneumonia. And for the next two and half years she suffered her lungs were wrecked shortness of breath constantly fighting off chest infections.

So I’m sitting in this bar in Butzbach West Germany called EKU winter 86-87, I caught P.C.S. out of Bragg and was assigned to first brigade of the 3rd armor I ended up in 2/36 infantry up at Ayer’s Kaserne place called Kirchgoens. So the irony is in me explaining at this time first brigade we were on a Grafenwoher deployment.

So the irony is I get sent back to Ayer’s Kaserne to rear detachment on medical because I had bronchitis / pneumonia I couldn’t shake it this time. So after a couple days of sleeping and eating antibiotics for couple days the rear detachment N.C.O. he was like I don’t need you just rest really cool SGT. So I’m finally feeling ok and what do I do and I head out to a bar I liked.

So I’m at this pub EKU drinking veizen beer or Licher beer probably can’t remember what I was drinking and I hear this can I borrow a cigarette (I know booze and nicotine recovering from pneumonia wasn’t the sharpest butter knife I was a kid 19 your young you can deal with it) so I pull this cigarette out and this guy reached for it. And in reaching for it his sleeve goes up on his arm and on his forearm I see a concentration camp tattoo.

So we chatted he was civilian worker at Schloss Kaserne for U.S. Army he held citizenship of west Germany his father was Russian his mother polish or vice versa yet I explained my grandfather was Ukrainian my grandmother polish I was buying him beer and it got to point I had to ask how can you live amongst these people or sit here and talk with these Germans of your Generation.

His response was I have learned to forgive and his response just floored me in that he lost it all his wife his baby his parents siblings I learned in talking with him. Because he and family were Ashkenazi Jews on a day the German army arrived and deported them to the camps. And in this time I made good friendship with a former German soldier who fought in Russia so I knew all Germans were not Nazis. This former soldier actually and this survivor of concentration camp were then perhaps my age now 57 perhaps early sixties in age.

And my friend who was soldier he explained to me that to them then it was a crusade to destroy communism he was young. And in getting to know him and his wife God they to lost and suffered truly decent humans they would invite me into their home and I got to know them. And my friends wife her brother was marched off into captivity by the soviets never to come home , and my friend who fought on the east front lost two brothers in Russia they both were buried in Russia.

I need to step back in my hate and anger towards the anti vaccine it was a hoax crowd because these people are hateful racist orange messiah cultists. In thinking what I lost in comparison to those who I knew above that I described to you and how they suffered. Yes trump commited Genocide in his response to covid and those that supported trump and we saw clearly hundreds of thousands were sickened and murdered by the failed response. Refrigerator trailers being used as morgues mass graves for the poor buried.

I’m not the only person who lost their soulmate of thirty six and half years. I do not post for pity I truly think I use this platform of D.U. to dump my thoughts otherwise I keep them to myself. It’s gonna be in four days six months since Liz passed and it’s just time for me to start living again.

I cannot be constantly consumed with hate and anger towards the no vax crowd that’s not living at all, will I socialize with them no family coworkers no I told several at work. We do not make small talk on shift anymore we only discuss work especially when I am yard jockey and I’m not running a turn to say Queens or Pittsburgh as example then back to home terminal some nights if I can I just do straight yard jockey.

I once read a statement by serial killer Carl Panzram he said if he could hang humanity by it’s neck he would reading that I’m thinking what a monster and how humanity shaped him. And in my mind this is where I have been as Carl said how I felt or feel towards the anti vax it was a hoax the left is trying to destroy dear leader with Covid disinformation these people are fucked up weak in mind very hateful in life.

Yet they as a movement are truly dangerous in their christofascist domionism quest for this country they to suffered under trumps failed response to Covid in sickness and death and they still support him blows my mind .

I have explained to them have you ever read of the religious wars in Europe our founding fathers knew. And they were perhaps more Deist than Christian and other times I just tell them. You brainwashed fuckers this is a country for all yes all even those you wish to marginalize. It’s is a republic not your church of the pasty white Jesus who ran around Galilee speaking murican and promoting open carry of well then with swords.

So yea in closing this ramble.
Number 1 - Stop thinking like serial killer Carl Panzram that figuratively speaking hang the anti vax movement by its neck.

2- I woke up with Zeppelins Lemon song in my head can’t shake it. Playing over and over in my brain huh I’ll have to teach sixteen this jam on guitar.

Have good day D.U. Community

I asked my M.I.L. Brother in law why are you not in Florida picking crops.

He and his wife they’re very conservative they are up here from Florida where they moved to in retirement visiting. They stopped round this morning to go breakfast with my mother in law years ago he was very agitated with me when I pointed out the fact that his support for W Bush and his invasion of Iraq was very in that I feltJohn was being hypocritical.

Reason John served gallantry in Pennsylvania national guard to avoid going to Vietnam. At the family thanksgiving dinner. John was saying how we now need to invade Iran.

The fuck you say I asked him and then pointed out that he did one hell of a job keeping Fort Indian Town Gap ( Pa National Guard HQ) out of the hands of the N.V.A.

I didn’t go to breakfast matter of fact I didn’t even get an invite this morning.

So my M.I.L. Asked me if I was fucking nuts , I was looking at lab pups online reputable breeder.

Now I love my mother in law she actually has came to stay and help after Liz passed. Then around January she went home and came back mid January and has never left my brother in law and his wife live with her in her home in Jersey.
So Nanna was getting ready for 08:00 Lutheran services and she walked by me as I was sitting at the bar and she saw what i was doing. Looking at these lab pups she said are you fucking nuts I replied you better get into that confessional line this morning language miss. And just to be safe hit the confessional line twice and do the wine you need to chill.

We actually had a heated discussion the other day cuz she realized I have been not cashing checks she has been giving me for so called rent. I said I don’t want your cash she replied well I’m not a free loader. So this morning on her way out the door the five foot 80 some year old five foot Scottish woman said pointing her index finger. If you buy pup I’m going back to Jersey full time huh I smiled , seriously she’s not a problem at all I love her she’s like Liz her daughter my wife a fiercely independent strong woman and I respect that.

So I told her with all the checks you have written since January I have enough cash to buy the whole dam litter of eleven lab knuckleheads. It’s me you gotta go for the sarcasm she turned and her and my wife’s aunt headed out to her car.

$2072 minimum pay check gross. My guys just headed out for six punch this morning they signed up.

The benefits of working under a union card.

They been busting freight on union dock a break bulk summer job before college this fall. The usual bid is a 03:00 start today on six punch they took 06:00 they both are tired I was up and packed their lunches for them two Dagwoods sandwiches four puddings cheese pepperoni sliced and crackers four microwave soups and I cut up cantaloupe for them. And I made them breakfast so we could sit and eat together we been lacking on that with my shift and theirs.

Any time after 8 is time half anytime after 40 all time half and I’m not sure. I told them cuz it’s Sunday you two maybe double time so check with union stew not sure the contract they work under is different than the one we have here at buster brown as a road man. Yep Hoffa junior the trumpig of teamster presidents sure fucked up the master freight contract with that we all use to work under one contract Hoffa junior belongs in the Fed prison like trumpig.

Anyway I told the fellas this morning if it’s just time half you’re gonna net around $2072 if your contract is giving double time then you guys be around $2400 for this week. I tell them bank your cash I’m writing tuition checks and they will.
Not bad coin for two seniors who cyber school and will be graduating in couple weeks then off to university in the fall.

Slide guitar class yesterday

A ramble cannot sleep having coffee and I’m thinking on how to make the most of our time. Ten to noon yesterday at high school the music teacher put it out by email last week R.S.V.P. and we had three kids show up. I love it these young kids are so into learning and they themselves are so into guitar.

Come to class take home a glass slide after about a hour they put on the headphones and plugged into the Harley Benton amps and I would sit with one kid at time to work on slide. So the guitar teacher is going to see if the kids want to continue Saturdays for awhile, my schedule is open weekends off.

Yet I’m thinking I’m going to have to go back to the Delta blues before it hit Memphis and become Electric which gave us example the Allman brothers.
Son house
Blind lemon Jefferson
Charley Patton
Robert Johnson
So yea we just may do these great player through electric or the school has several acoustics.

My reasoning is finger picking the one boy wanted to continue using a pick. I said lay down the pick my young Padawan raise your right paw see those five fingers we will use them . After I moved on to another kiddo I looked over and young Jedi had his headphones on and the shit was yep using a pick again made me smile.
