Thank you my friends.. good to be here and have enjoyed all the help and comradery the train brings.
Been a tough month for me and instead of the Happy Stew there has been some life problems. I'll bring Ya'll up to speed.
I have gotten rid of two employees ,one was smoking drugs in the bathroom!!
Since before my vacation I have been working constant "grueling" hours to pick up the slack. This is a 70' all electric hull design.. The completion date is August, at this rate we will not make this deadline. There are some serious fines written into the contract that would be devastating.
Hope to find a couple more qualified employees soon?
All work and no play really sucks.
So being the brutis I am pushing a sore back to the limit without realizing my back wasn't just sore!!! I have pushed out what looks like two discs. As we speak they are scheduling a stat MRI then a shot for some relief then it look's like surgery? I cannot even put my socks or pants on by myself. To be a little funny there is no sleeping in when I have to use toilet paper....
The surgeon explained about the surgery do's and don'ts, top was get off the blood thinners "yea" the second was if I smoked!!!! Thats when the big fat wonderful NOPE!! was able to be used.
As of late I haven't been very active on the train just my lifesaving Nope's and a little looking around before sleep and work.
There may be more time for funny jokes and spankin chicks in the near future.
Thank you all for my monthly birthday, funny how I look forward to each one starting the day after the last......

Cheers Stew.
