Monday Plans

April 27th, 2009 . by Cary

I had a good shift on Friday, no problems and kept busy most of the time so I was rather profitable. Not every day is that profitable, which means that I likely won’t be driving cab forever, but for now it is filling the gap.

Today, since the new building has a green tag, we start working on the finishing touches of the new “gameroom” at the church. I’ll take pictures and show you what I’m up to this week.

Chat ya later…

Just wear red and show your patriotism, okay? Don’t make me come over there and add black and blue to your palette today!

OK, so I’m not as stiff and sore as I was yesterday, but this metal splinter in the tip of my right middle finger sure makes typing harder than it was. If only I had a super-powerful magnet that would just pull the splinter out, instead of having to dig around in there trying to get it…

As promised, some “before” and “after” shots for you:

Also showing are a couple of the young men from church helping out with the cleanup.

Since it is Good Friday, TMBWitW is off work and we are going to spend the day together – as soon as she wakes up. MEG has been up and down a few times, and my sleep schedule is so whacked it’s not even funny. Tonight I’ll be driving a twelve hour shift – if anything amusing comes up, I will let you know.

How Was Your Weekend?

April 6th, 2009 . by Cary

Mine was pretty good – drove cab Friday (24 hour shift, with breaks) and then Saturday morning after a few hours sleep we were going to go up to Kingman to visit the cousins. Unfortunately, TMBWitW developed a nasty migraine on the way, and we didn’t even make it to Wickenburg before turning around and heading home again.

It’s OK though – she got some sleep and took some migraine meds and was MUCH better by Saturday evening. The cousins are coming down on the 25th, so we’ll still get to see them.

I went over to check out an opportunity with a delivery company as an independent contractor this morning; we’ll see how that turns out.

Now, I’m going to cruise through my blog list and leave comments here and there; I suggest you do the same. I’m also going to be spending time with MEG in between blogs. Hope you have a good week!

Red Friday

I’m wearing my Lighting Sharp polo today – because the cab company requires a collar on their drivers.

Yes, I’m back driving a cab on Fridays to pick up the slack and ease the crunch a little bit. I promise you I won’t pick up any aggressive-looking dudes at bars in the west Valley, if you promise to pray for my safety anyway.

Happy Birthday to my brother, Rob!

Notes From the Cab

February 3rd, 2009 . by Cary

I mentioned I would tell ya’ll about a couple of guys I picked up who ended up walking home anyway…

It was a Friday evening, and I got a dispatch to pick up at a certain bar in a certain part of town that is frequented by … uhm, well, they were gays. Two guys got in the cab, and gave directions. I had a jacket on over my “Lightning Sharp” polo, since it was kinda chilly (mid-forties) and I liked to drive with the window open. They asked me to close the window, which I did, and they continued with their directions.

The last line of the directions was “You’ll be turning right on [suchandsuch] Street. If you see anybody with blue on, don’t hit them. But if they have red, you can go ahead and run them over.”

I looked at them in the mirror, and asked why it was OK to run over people wearing red.

“Oh, you know – those war-mongers who wear red on Fridays and get all uppity about (airquotes) ‘their troops’.”

They obviously didn’t see the red part of my shirt at the open part of my jacket. The brakes worked very well, and we were over to the curb in a heartbeat.

“Get out.”

They were confused. “Why? What happened?”

I got out, went around to the curbside door, and opened it. “Get out.” The look on their faces was pretty classic when they realized that not only was my shirt red but actually embroidered with “Wear Red on Fridays” on the left side.

“Ohmigawd I didn’t realize you were one of them!”

“That’s right, I’m one of THEM who served this country, and proudly support those who currently serve this country, and allow a$$hole$ like you to enjoy your gay lifestyle and be liberal, troop-hating, anti-American faggots without fear of being run in by some islamofacist religious nutcase of a leader. Now, get out of my cab before I drag you out.”

It was all knees and elbows as they both tried to get out at the same time. Once they were standing on the sidewalk (still about five miles from their destination) they said “How are we going to get home?” in that whiny, flaming way some homosexuals have. I told them walking usually worked quite well, and since it was kind of chilly they might also sober up a bit before they get there. “Well, we’ll just call another cab.” “Go ahead” I said, “and I’ll let dispatch know that you guys are possible robbers looking to strong-arm a driver. That’ll guarantee that no one will pick you up. Start walking.”

“Gawd, why are you such a hater?”

The duplicity and hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze me.
