Servicing some underground crude lines in a 80 yr old refinery in good ol' Moosejaw Saskachewan.
What did you do at work today?
- Thread starter Streetbu
- Start date
It was spring trash pick up day in our county so all the crews had to clean the state maintained roads. So on our adventures I came in "2nd place" with my treasure I found. A crew out did ours by "winning" with finding a mobile meth lab. Mine was still in the box with one on our crew testing it to see if it worked. There is at least one found each year. People are sick, dirty & don't care where or what they throw out on the roads.
Definitely owned by a long haul trucker , was it found near or adjacent to a pee bottle ?
Funny you bring that up, was talking the the laborer for the demo side of the business when I ran fuel the other day and he was talking about the large amount of dildos they find when tearing down houses. He said that his job title should almost be change to ***** recovery unit
No pee bottle near it. We are a college town so someone might of dumped it on their way home.
When I was a mechanic I did a lot of dash work and oh my the stuff I found stashed
I hate a thief. Easier to clamp down on the buyers. A friend of mine owns a metal recycling shop and I asked him. His reply was a chickens**t "I don't know they stole it"
Lemme see, A Friday the 13th North Side shift? What could go right?/ Well, pretty much everything. Got an early start and no glitches apart from an ongoing saga with a defaulting door fob that seems to want to haunt me only. Got an up close and personal view of several of the local rivers deciding that their existing banks weren't wide enough. The brand newly rebuilt dam on the north side had all its sluice ways wide open and they were just pushing water. South was saying she had to stop on her way in for shift yesterday and physically walk the road she uses to make sure there was a road there under all the water overflow. Did a pass around the lake and it is up and over its banks. Afternoon pass included a run out to the recycling plant and the Mapleward Road Culverts just after the Oliver exit were under about a foot of water to the point it had overrun the road there too.
The jury is still out on whether the next storm system is going to cross our path or mostly avoid us. Stupid thing about all this is that, even with all the rain and flooding and misery, just let a few days of warm and dry occur, not even a week, and the Natural Resources bureaucraps start screaming drought and fire and otherwise go directly into Chicken Little mode.
Only unanticipated event was a last second call from one of our senior's facilities requesting a special visit and pickup. Found out from that call that the cell phone is still synched to the on board cell answering system so punch the button and say the magic word; and you get to talk to the world.
Came home and was able to immediately check my eyelids out for pinholes for an hour or so. (LOL) It has gotten so familiar that the sound of the sump pump ball valve slamming closed doesn't even wake me up; and it goes BOOM!!

Finished out my 3rd week of 4 of road and range CDL classes today. The manual Freightliner was back this week which was great because it's much easier to drive than those trash Internationals.
I feel like I'm doing pretty well. I'm not 100% polished, but I can comfortably drive just about anywhere and perform the maneuvers without too much trouble. The window lickers are still struggling. It's painful to watch. The clutch popping, the gear grinding, the stalling....
