Birthday celebration

-

 Today is my wife's birthday.  We decided to celebrate going to one of our favorite restaurants which was a 20 or so mile drive?  We almost didn't make it.  We were in the car and some nut job is in the center lane and swerved across two lanes of traffic to make a left turn.  He almost tore off the front of my car.  I slammed on the brakes and thankfully no one was behind us.  I came within inches of hitting him.  I lay on the horn ready to turn around and chase this mother fucker down and beat his ass.  I couldn't.  As it turns out, he got hit by someone on the other side of the road.  Instant Karma for that bitch.

He was driving an older Honda civic.  Not anymore.  

My wife and I were talking about it.  She thinks it was someone having an argument or something.  I think it was either an illegal alien or someone under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.  It really doesn't matter.  He got his.

Which got me think to jobs illegal aliens have.  I bet they work for DoorDash or UberEats.  So many times you see some scuzzo looking immigrant hold his phone up to the restaurant worker waiting for them to read it and hand the order over so it can be delivered.  No verbal exchange.  Just a grunt, grab and go.

The apps used for errand running and ride sharing are perfect for illegal aliens that don't have drivers licenses. They don't have to talk, the phone communicates in their native language and all they do is drive around delivering fast food to stupid white people too fucking lazy to get their BigMac and fries themselves.  Like having fast food delivered - isn't that the epitome of white privilege?  

Anyway...

At the restaurant, my wife received an offer for a free piece of pie on her birthday.  And luck should have it, today's her birthday.  There was something wrong with the computer system at the eatery and they weren't going to honor the promotion.  After hemming and hawing with the manager of the eatery, they reluctantly gave in after originally saying they would not honor the deal.  It's a five dollar piece of pie.  STFU and make the situation right.  If it's that much of an inconvenience, don't even bother offering free pie.  What a PITA.

I shoulda been a mechanic

-
I often say I should have been a mechanic or a carpenter.  Probably mechanic.  Our front door lock mechanism has been acting up.  It has a typical entry from the front where you push down with your thumb to turn the cylinder to open the door.  The back of the door door knob fell off because it had gotten loose and stripped out the holes.  Turns it out it was much more than that - I had to figure out how to get the entire front pull door handle off to fix it because the latch mechanism fell apart.  I learned this after replacing the door knob and it was still not working properly.  I figured out how to get the pull door handle off and it hit the ground and fell apart into like a dozen different pieces.  I had never seen the mechanism together....  with some trial and error I figured out how it works and was able to time the mechanism and put it back together.  I rebuilt it!!  All the plates, gears, levers, pins, springs and gears. ...

My Mom Died

-
On Monday my mom proclaimed the promise of her baptism. After years of suffering from dementia, she was restored; made whole on the other side. One thing you may not know about my mom is she was tough as nails while having the grace of an angel. She carried my dad through some medical scares and was a huge advocate to him getting the care he needed with her medical background as a registered nurse. Roughly 10 years ago I was charged with taking mom back to Pennsylvania to see her dad, my pappy when he moved into a nursing home. We went to his house and there had been some changes to the back porch. It was my job to take care of mom. I saw my uncle and leapt up onto the raised porch. There used to be a railing around the porch. Mom tried to do the same and tripped on the ledge letting out a yell. Her leg got pretty torn up and was bleeding pretty bad. We got her into the house and decided she needed to go to the hospital. Mom never flinched or complained about the situati...

I've seen things

-
The last couple days of my mom's life...  don't quite know what to say about them.  I remember last Sunday when I came to her house and saw her slumped in the chair barely able to move after the medication fell out of her mouth and onto her shirt.  No one was available to change her shirt.  I asked my Dad if he would do it and he declined.  I did it.  It was the most awkward thing.  I had her told the clean shirt up to cover herself as I carefully removed the dirty shirt.  I planted by eyes next to her head looking at the back to her chair and was able to help my Mom be comfortable while preserving her dignity.  There are some things about your parents that you shouldn't know.  Like what an 80 year old body looks like while deprived of nutrients and exercise....  So there was that. Then seeing my Mom in the hospital bed after she could no longer walk.  Laying there with her head cocked to the side and her mouth open as dying pr...
