What's On Your Mind?

Management can be a pain no matter what you do for work. Maybe move to a country a little more....United? Depending on what you do for a living you could probably say you have a fancy Science degree for knowing the metric system without a felony ? LOL

I’d love to work on your rivers or harbours any time . Those Tug barge composites on your rivers look like fun . Custom built with high raised viewing towers . Lemme at em ??. I need to be south though where it’s warm and good fishing . Don’t understand a word they say sometimes so I’ll just have to interpret as best I can . I’ll saturation watch Gator boys and Moonshiners to adjust my ears .

Bro I promise you, we have heaters... besides, we have Lake Sturgeon and Musky. If you go south though, come this way with Alligator Gar, and Blue Catfish. That way you won't have to learn much about Hurricanes lol.

I’m kind of a bit twisted like that . I’d love to see a Hurricane or Cyclone as we call them just to appreciate its force . It’s probably just curiosity and reality I’d be shitting myself
I say that with respect to those that wouldn’t because they’ve have been through hell because of it and I do feel for those that rebuild only to be smashed again .
Must be heartbreaking .
When I worked the N/W coast of Australia we had a Cyclone approaching from the Torres Strait and as with most mining companies they waited till the last moments to pack up equipment ( money before lives fellas )
Being the marine sector it was my job to move barges etc into sheltered areas with special Cyclone proof moorings .
I saddled up to a barge and got underway to a place called flying foam to moor up this barge and head back for shelter .
On my return I got a message from the other tugboats in the sheltered enclosure saying the cut off time for the tug pen ( tug parking area ) had expired and they’d chained off the pen and I no longer had access .
Fuck !!! A wave of panic came over me thinking holy shit , where am I now going to go to find shelter as the Cyclone approached ?
Then I remembered I still had SamsonCreek inlet . A small narrow natural inlet where a small berthing wharf had been built and maybe 20-30 boats can fit .
I relaxed again as I now had a place to go .
I then checked my electronic weather data to browse at the current conditions
Wind yep , direction yep , barometer reading yep ( always drops drastically during storms ) Tide ………. Fuck ……. It’s nearly low tide meaning I won’t be able to get into the creek . Draught restrictions mean I’ll run aground !!
Doing the math I calculated my travel time over the ebb or receding tide .
I put both throttles hard down flat out and rumbled towards the creek inlet .
I honestly didn’t know if I’d make it up the creek or not but I was going to have a crack regardless . 100 metres into the creek yeah baby keep going , 150 metres …….. yeah baby that’s my girl . Bump,……. Bump …….. fuck …….I’m making contact with the sea bed . Only another 100 and I’m home ……. Bump ……..keep going my beautiful girl , I love you ……lol all this shit is going through my head lol . I’m willing her home . I look behind and mud mixed with water is spewing out the back in my prop wash .
I made it and my anxiety falls away as quick as my hair just did .
I’ll never want to do that again …….
I aged 5 years in a couple hours

Just learned that my noisy, disrespectful neighbor with all the ATVs and snow mobiles died in an avalanche last month.
I also learned he was an abusive asshole to his young wife.

Hate me for saying it, but the world is now a better place, IMO.

 

[GthaEnigma]

I understand your sentiment. We recently had a fentanyl dealer from a local family die in a car crash. It was very difficult to not openly celebrate his passing and keep comments about it to myself. Sometimes karma takes shit into her own hands.

This is all I could think of when I read your post... "Died in an avalanche......"
"Well, it's Canadia, he prolly froze in there."

I don't cheer when these assholes go out, but I sure don't mourn, either.

Well, that's 1 down!

I’ll just be repeating how we all feel so I’ll say this . My mother was abused as a child during the war years . Then she was abused by her first husband who created my two step sisters who I love dearly . Took everything I had to be polite to him when very occasionally we would gather for Xmas or such .
My father was a good man . A hard work man of humility who did everything right in being both a good husband and father . I saw him wear the brunt of the early years my mum went through . She struggled to embrace a relationship after that .
You abuse women . Your nothing but a coward in my opinion .

Well put my good man. There is no good reason to abuse anyone. Those people seem barely human!

 

[Rozgreenburn]

Best thing would be to put them all in lockup and let them abuse each other, to the death. The last one standing can choose his method of execution

I agree . I know we all need to defend ourselves if need be but I don’t enjoy fighting one bit . The fights I had at school or down the pub wherever I felt terrible afterwards win or lose . I don’t know how even a pro fighter can do it mentally . I respect that they’re professionals and such but it’s just not in my nature to want to hurt people . I’m reasonably big as well which makes me even more reluctant .

Guys that hit girls, are one of the "pet peeves" I have; The temptation of a wood chipper at the side of a river bringing in a bunch of hungry Catfish gets to you after a while.

Kids are another thing I can't; Anyone who abuses kids is on a list.

I'll say this about the murder rate in Detroit; Every so often, it ends up being because someone was abusive to either kids or woman, and, as you said, I don't exactly cry over that. When someone in the "hood" takes some vigilante justice to a pedophile or a beater it's like "Well, looks like they found that cure".

Sort of like the prison system; Say what you will about people who end up in prison, but around these parts from what I've heard, those people have to be in protective custody, because there's a bunch of inmates who aren't allowed to see their kids, and they don't take too kindly to someone who abuses them.

I won't say too much about this, cause I know me, it sets me off, and that darkness inside, feeds off that. I just really don't like abusive people.

Same. I am not a tough guy, never been one, don't want to be one. When I was young I was bullied and I usually took it, yet I would jump in and and fight to defend someone else who was being bullied(yeah, whole lotta psychological stew to spoon through there).
I never did it because I thought I would or could win, that was never the point. Same as when I've ended up in 1 vs lunch trailer arguments about human rights(specifically the rights of those with different sexual preferences or religions). I wasn't worried about consequences, I just knew it was the right thing to do.

Not really a lot to spoon through; You value other people more than yourself.

Depends which side of the line you're viewing from. A 6 and a 9 are the same number to people sitting directly across a table from each other. Perspective changes things.
