Toyomafia - The Clubhouse. 151.880

It does, not a “hard freeze” but we get frost on the grass every now and then.
But seriously one year we had a “cold” winter, and no one usually wraps their pipes……….
Soooooo many back flows and busted swamp cooler lines and incoming service breaks. It was a shit show for 2-3 weeks after trying to get parts

 

^^what these guys said. It does tend to get a few degrees colder at the lake where I store my boat - they’ll see high-teens in a cold winter and high-mid twenties most years - just enough to crack a block if you leave raw water in.

 

Damn, you guys just taught me something. I would have never guessed it gets that cold there.
I bet its a big clusterfuck where it happens like you said

 

we even get the white stuff (the cold kind) every now and then.

 

I like the idea of the shit melting away soon after it hits the ground, like Azblue said.
Not 6-7 months later.lol
By May I'm definitely ready for the shit to go away

 

This is the truth.
You’d have to be certified insane to ride a bike in PHX traffic

 

It only last a few hours where we are at. I lived in Flagstaff for four years where the snow that falls in late December melts in early February and that was bad enough.

 

I'm heading down to AZ next week for a short trip, where's a good beer in Scottsdale/Tempe??

 

Drive in Chicago…

 

You can keep any over 75-80° after that I'm whining like a child and looking for a shady spot at the creek!Lol

 

Fate and Huss are both good. Craft 64 has a ton of beer and good pizza. I’m sure there’s more but those are my go tos.

 

I could stomach that for the next 9 years before I retire if I didn’t have any stress to bring home from work.
Right now I’m high enough up the food chain where I’m at that it’s seriously hard to find anything that could get me close to the same salary without a) working 60+ hours a week or b) moving somewhere that the cost of living is 50% more than where I’m at.
I paid very well on salary for “40 hours” that really is more like 50 hours…but even at 50 hours the math is in my favor.

 

There were a couple in my last package, so there are a few unslapped ones out there…

 

Can’t like this

 

Tea-bagged the jar of essence himself, did he?

 

Me neither.

 

I wish that was ALL he did to them.

 

That is a totally understandable position.

For me, working days and nights to cover a position 24/7/365 I can't think of a better shift set up. The week off makes the change in sleep pattern way easier than only having a couple days. If you really think about it, I only work 6 months of the year, and if I burn 40 hours of vacation I get 3 weeks off.

As a barely high school educated, former warehouse worker/CDL driver I feel blessed and lucky to be where I am. My direct supervisor is awesome, the team I work with is mostly solid, and I make enough that being dumb with my money didn't ruin me!

 

That’s a fun brewery to visit, pretty good food, good sightseeing, but my o my you could smell the yeast from 2 blocks away.

 

Up and out!
Saturday morning bagel run.
