Yesterday I took my wife shopping.No smoking in the store so I sat on a bench outside to wait for her.Beside me was a fella dressed in work clothes.He was smoking a cigarette.He said.. I don't see many pipe smokers these days.Then three of his buddies came out of the store.He said to me..We're digging trenches so they can pour the foundation for a 500 foot long chicken house.You want a job? I told him..I worked 38 years then retired.I'm 75 years old now. I've had a hip and a shoulder replaced.I could use the money but I can't do the work.He said OK and they left...Be careful when you sit on a bench and smoke your pipe.You never know what you might get into.
When I retired due to Cancer, I finally moved to my farm. I had problems with the water plant that had started up, I go to talk to Manager, secetery says they are in The Emergency Gen warehouse, I excuse myself and walk around, seeing about 3 big trucks at a big building. I walk in and it's a bee hive of people running around, checking this, checking that, accomplishing nothing. I go to man in suit and ask what's up, he says new Emg Gen and it won't crank up. I watch, and finally I ask him, can I check it out? He says who are you, I say I've built plants from the ground up for Exxon, and if you give the crew a small break , I can check it out without being bothered. He says to me, if you can start that thing you've got a job. I see them go to break, walk up to big diesel Emg gen and start doing my checky,checks. About 10 mins pass I go to suit man and I say, low oil level, it will never start until you have the proper oil level. They fill it up, hit the switch and the diesel starts growling, Suit man says you've got a job, I say I'm retired, fix my water problem. Next day I had a new water meter and was getting water to my house. Most operating problems are simple, like me.
