Last one standing. One employee out from a fight club injury, and the one year commitment guy who I just bought a $600 chapter conference ticket just put in his notice. Sold half a months worth of work today, got another 6-7 weeks on the books, and down to little ole me. Ya'll think good help is hard to find, try livin on a island. Easy to be a big fish in a small pond, but be damned if you can find good help. Smoke is a little better, but the PNW is still ablaze.. Don't know if I've posted this one before.

I know its Sunday, but I'm gonna bitch anyhow. My best buddy and old time groundie is unfortunately back on the shit, and has gone deep underground. I have been looking for a good groundie ever since. Last week I worked with a local fella who was supposed to know his shit. Fucking please!
Dude moved like a slug, and did everything in his power to make things as difficult on me as he possibly could. He literally made me spend twice as much time in my spurs than was necessary.
If that wasn't enough, he was bitching and whining all the way, and letting everyone know he was the best climber on the job. A fucking tool ,and not the kind of man I want around. I gave him an earful along with his $, and sent him packing. Adios bro!
My left nutt for a good groudie!

I’m certainly not the best climber, but shit I can run three lowerin lines at the same time. Maybe I should pack it up and go live in the redwoods.
Sorry about your friend falling off the wagon. Best you can do is send him packin, tell him not to call until he has 6 months clean

I love and care about this man first and foremost. He and his wife are strung out, and homeless. He's not a young man, and I don't know if he will survive another bout with this shit. I have spent a few months searching for him, and reaching out. I have offered them a place to live, and money to get by while they clean up. Nothing? At this point all I can do is pray for them, and send good thoughts their way!
 
I am not a religious man, but do consider myself fairy spiritual. This shit moves me.
The Rev. Julius Cheeks taking it to another place. Savage!

I used to attend a black church, where my friends father was the preacher. The singing was inspired! If a parishioner needed to leave the service they would hold one finger pointing up to heaven as they walked down the aisle, asking to be excused in that manner by their Heavenly Father.
 
My grandma was a deeply religious southern woman who took my little brother and myself to see many gospel groups back in the 70's. The Soul Stirrers, Dixie Hummingbirds, Sensational Nightingales, Blindboys, Clouds of Joy, etc. Transcendant music experiences I will feel and remember till the day I die. Thanks Granny!
 
They call me the Day Maker.

Or something. I don't know.

You'll like Ben, both solo and with the Innocent Criminals. Quite a few albums to check out.

In the end that’s all you can really do. They have to do it themselves for themselves.. sorry it’s the tough love element to recovery. Not many are willing to hear it.
 
I fear that recovery is not in the cards for him. Sad but true.
He's one of my oldest, closest homie's so I will always offer a helpful hand if he asks.
That includes a punch in the fucking ear!

feel for you, I've lost a few close ones from that shit. It's not fair.
 
Well it was friday when you wrote that but thursday when I posted it. Plus you're 3 hours behind so you probobly wasted your First Friday which is what Thursday used to be known as. Or perhaps you didnt. I don't know. I think I need a vacation. You?
