June 4th Pride Month.

Hello All.

Well I have to say this weekend was a lovely one for sure. Finally had a rest day from the project work and orders are still coming in which is great. Recapping my week and weekend, Wednesday I was on my way home and decided to stop and get me a shake to help me pass the time on the long drive I have nightly. Well when I got off the freeway and pulled up to the light I noticed the truck was starting to over heat on top of smelling hot radiator water. So I pulled it over into the nearest service station and as I expected water was running from the bottom of it. At first I thought it was the water pump but that had been replaced not long again so I knew it wasn’t that. Next I thought about the freeze plugs as the one on the right side had not long been replaces and this one was on the left side. Needless to say after leaving work at 9:00 PM and countless stops at gas station for water, along with a few ditches as well, I didn’t get home until 12:30 AM milking the vehicle home and hoping I wouldn’t burn up the motor in the process. Lucky my father keeps some jugs and things in the vehicle for cases like this. I don’t like driving the vehicle much but since mine is still down I have no choice in the matter. However working on getting mine fixed. I’ve decided not to replace the motor but have the one rebuilt. Anytime someone replaces the engine there is always a change that something wont work and Houston has some really hot summer days so air is a must.

Thursday I ended up using my mother’s vehicle in which she was happy for me to clean out as I can’t drive around in a dirty vehicle. (Does School Teacher come to mine? They are the worst) Still I had transportation. Friday morning I rented a vehicle for the week, Malibu in which I’m not to fond of. I should have requested another HHR. I have to say the HHR has grown on me for sure. I’d surely buy one but I have a vehicle that I need to get repaired as it’s almost paid for and still have a few years left. Went to work and as Fridays are becoming days of HELL! I got eight new intakes that day on top of temporary home visits. I was in high gear from the time I got to work. I was ready for a break when it was over. I ended up taking one of my co workers home as she had 500 bucks worth of work done to her vehicle to pass inspection. From what she told me they needed to do she got ripped royally. Oh well they saw a woman coming. Got home and took the truck to one of my father’s shade tree mechanics then home and took it easy as I’m still catching up on the season finales of my shows I taped.

Saturday morning I got up for the long drive to see Jeff in the county jail. It had been over 7 months since I drove that drive and a lot as changed as they have finished the construction on the Nolan Ryan express way. Not to mention all the new house construction going up that way. Made it to the county jail for his county and I really wasn’t nervous to bet there or going in as I worked in Jails most of my adult life. However I was nervous to see him. I didn’t know what to expect. When he arrived he looked thinner that I recall. I was expecting Long hair and nails but he surprising looked cleaned up. Orange isn’t his color but he didn’t look bad in it. He says he’s lost 75 pounds which puts him at 285. They only gave us 30 minutes as the call was being monitored. Still we managed to cover a little. The rest will have to be told in letters. From what he tells me, his lawyer is sending him up the creek without a paddle. Told Jeff that he doesn’t try these kind of cases so that’s a negative. Plus they haven’t offered him a plea bargain or anything. He said if the would offer it he would take it. It’s better than facing 40 years in prison. However he had been talking about killing himself and tried as well. They have him on medication and he’s getting some Psyche help as well. Since his lawyer has been delaying the trial it could be up to two years before he’s tried. Good part is he will have time served for it. When I left it was hard to see him go and I’m sure he was emotional as well. Did he do any of this; well he hasn’t denied any of it. Did he do all what they say he did we’ll that’s questionable. Needless to day I was thinking about him most of the day. Reminiscing of our past but what kept me in line was I couldn’t get passed how he treated me and how stubborn he was to get him there in the first place. The only reason why I went was cause his mother asked me to go as she was concerned about him. I have to say I was concerned as well as you’re not that close to someone and ever stop caring. I was to have a dinner date later that evening but he canceled on me as he had a rough day and after he explained I fully understood. However he did ask could we do it the next day in which I agreed.

Sunday morning I finally got myself together as I went to bed late on top of a J.O. session in which I needed pretty bad since the moon and a blue moon at that was full. No willing partakers so what is a guy to do. Early morning the mechanic called about my father’s pickup and said the truck was ready and I could come and get it, in which I did. Got home and read the paper and work on more of the project but not as heavy as I normally would. Call my date about four o’clock to see if we were still on and he agreed. We meet up about seven fifteen and departed shortly after nine. I have to say it w as really fun evenings. However I didn’t want to be pushy and come on to strong on the first days. Besides I don’t go to bed with men on the first day. Although he is nice looking. Not much went on after that as I came home and continued to catch up on my season finales. The DVD recorded was really busy the past two months. Since there usually isn’t much on during the summer months it’s a good time to catch up for sure. Today at work not much went on and it was an easy day for sure. Had time to catch up on a few things as well, however all hell will break loose for sure. On that note I’m going to close here so until fingers meet keys all have a good week as I hope you all had a good weekend as well. Chat soon and big hugs.
