Kids came over yesterday and had a great time. Grand kids brought over this mini bike I got them about 7 years ago that started out with a 2.5 HP engine and they want me to shoehorn this Honda 5 HP in there after toasting the original engine.
Think best if I get another about 3 HP engine and stuff in there so the smaller grand kids can ride it somewhat safely. LOLView attachment 1715728392
Put a 5 hp Briggs on a similar bike with a comet centrifugal clutch. One of my pals had same setup only with a 3 hp tecomse. 5 was faster but equally as dangerous. Lessons and a dirt track, helmet are required. Dirt much easier on the hide while gaining experience

Well I think I will share with you guys where I am at work. Scheduled OT for me started this week and my Ol Lady talked me into working it. I am having a hard time mentally with not getting the promotion so I asked my supervisor why the other guy got it. He told me you just need to move on because what I see and hear from drivers it is destroying you and I am afraid a kid might get hurt if you forget something on a bus. I said yes it is eating me alive what did I do wrong that he did right and again I got just move on.


Today I contacted the union leader and he said they have to give me a reason. I told him what the supervisor told me to just let it be and he informed me to email HR and ask her along with telling her what my supervisor said. He said she has to give me a reason in writing. So now he contacted my supervisor and the guy said I didnt know we needed a reason he said oh yes and in writing. HR is out till next week but now my supervisor and the asshole that got the job are not speaking to me and giving me funny looks.

Sucks you have to go to all that trouble to get an answer CF. Kinda think the new lead put his head up the right persons ***.
Sucks when you get a guy that is more a politician than a worker that knows not a damn thing on how to fix a bus.

The best part is my supervisor didnt know he had to give me a reason in writing. Just get over it was the best he could do.

Doesn't make sense to me and then giving you the cold shoulder? seems something more going on there.

Sounds to me like they might be buddies out of work and they are keeping it quiet. If this is the case they both might be out on their ear. That's favoritism plan and simple.
 
The weather can't make up it's mind today. Sun, cloud, cold 40km winds, just had hail and then heavy rain. Warming up tomorrow they are saying. Another day of doing SFA, I did check out the inside of my eyes though.
 
here is something funny

as you may know, we got 3 kids and to be honest, i dont think me and the missus have been away with just the two of them since the oldest was born, 11 years ago

now, we got a few good friends, where our families get along great (adults and kids)
in fact, we've gone on vacation with them several times...you should see the look on peoples faces when 18 strangers walk into a church service on sunday and they declare they are all just friend on vacation

anyway, we are going on vacation with a few of the couples, no kids this july
somehow my kids have started called it a "honeymoon"

i'd be OK with it, and i can tell you right now, it will be a boy and his name will be Sjoerd


we have always just been those people, without a shadow of a doubt we knew the gender and the name from the moment she got pregnant

(and we share it too, it annoys me so much when people refuse to tell me the name of their offspring before its born. i always tell them "fine, dont know his name, i cant pray for him")

Is that a Dutch name or one from the bible?

it's Dutch
(for some reason my boys have Dutch names, my girls do not, but there is no real reason for it)

when i say it, it sounds like shewered
it means "protector of the blessing"

i guess the English version would be "Stuart", though i dont know if that name carries the same meaning

No offense but I think Stuart might be a better name for him to go through life with.

no problem, i get it

in fact, i took flack from both sides of the family when i named my oldest Brammetje (from my parents because the TJE in the end denotes he is small, and they deemed that inappropriate for an adult, her side of the family because they are all hispanic and cant roll their Rs properly to pronounce this)

but, i stuck with it and it all worked out

when he was younger, when people asked his name he would give them 3, his real name (Dutch pronunciation) his hispanic name (Brammacito) and his English name (Bramm)

nowadays, he just goes by Bramm

Dinner! Fish, Shrimp and fries with a few slices of bell pepper because I need my veggies. Gotta feeling it will take affect about 1 in the morning because it's home made. lol

Never mind the 1 in the morning is out the window and the effect has started before I finished dinner. Sometimes I think I'm better off going hungry than eating my cooking. lol
 
Happy birthday to me! 65 is time to deal with medicare balanced by hitting from the champion tees on the golf course.
