Duncanpup's JournalBoogs crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday no tears only good memories,my best boys obituary.
Was gonna go in to high school yesterday to jam with kids and i noticed my troop didn’t eat his pill in scrambled eggs and he was hacking hard trouble breathing the meds I give him and Mr big paws to take their vetprofin for arthritis. Then tried to give him his pill in peanut butter bread nope I felt his stomach he was bloated I called boys at their jobs at grocery store you got to come and help me.
We loaded him in 18 pathfinder folded the one seat down so we could love him as he rode in the back. Shit hold on had to run in and get a pillow for trooper to rest his head on stress and high strung emotions.
He passed in the exam table not alone we were with him 18 was looking into his eyes he peed his bladder released they were prepping him for blood work and x rays.
This morning we’re laughing joking saying Boog he probably at least pissed twice on the rainbow bridge and then he saw your mom he probably said lady where have you been I’ve missed you. WTB what the biscuits here I thought man lost you.
Boog came into this world 5/3/09 hooked up with boy 7/10/09 put his puppy ass down in the kitchen that first day and it was on. We always said his theme song was the Scorpions rock you like a hurricane that day he was on the loose Zooming oh look I have a KAT I will chase you and maul you Kat.
His choice of career was being a boog totally in love with his boy from the go and also a veteran of many contacts in backyard with skunks seriously a serial killer level of skunk murders many baths yet he do it again and again.
Besides being in solid loving relationship with his pack especially boy ,although with Nanna my wife’s mother they had a love to you aggravate the shit out of me dog Nannas words many times . Boog was like hey you’re my Nanna I love you yet couple times I left a load in the guest room was just my way of saying shouldn’t you be going home soon.
Boogs education was he was a failed candidate of obedience training at the parent teacher dog training meeting when he was being suspended she said he needs in house one on one training I can do it I have a program of two to three weeks are you both interested.
In the car on way home mister is leaning on my wife his body between the seats he was probably then eighteen months old I love you lady. I told Liz I’m not comfortable with the shock collar in house program so boog said hey I’ll obedience train myself I’m a stable genius.
Some of his more memorable achievements which he had many are eating Nanas birthday cake that Liz baked eating a pan of brownies for boys first grade birthday party oh eating a whole pizza at maybe seven months ooh I smell pizza. Chairs were not pushed in on dining room table it was gone.
Oh here is a memory we’re jamming maybe three four years ago and we’re running amps through surge protector. And he shocks himself we didn’t know why at first he cried then did it again upon investigation Boy discovers piece of hot dog bun on surge protector under amp cords.
He was an original we always would say if Mr Big paws the golden retriever best boy was human he would be a Astro physicist.
Then the Boog if he were human either John Belushi character from animal house or straight Danny Devitos character Frank from tv show it’s alway sunny in Philadelphia and by default that made boy Charlie Kelley they were a inseparable pair.
In closing 18 picked out a nice urn for mister will put him next to Liz yea lots of tears yesterday but mister would not want us to sad although we’re gonna miss him.

Sarcasm 18 and Boog were in car and 18 Stopped to let a squirrel cross the street. We now feel that Boog is thinking 18 is now a woke animal loving liberal.
Boog is like WTB what the biscuit man where did we go wrong in raising boy next thing you know will probably have squirrels pictures on Bud light cans thanks Brandon.
A lot of what if's on possible strike here at Buster Brown.
Just got off well I was done 03:00 ran district the Brooklyn tour having coffee with my mother in law she is doing her crossword. Getting a lot of questions and what if’s from younger members and that’s great in their desire to want to know.
In that some of the younger brothers and sisters are nervous. They know I walked in 94 under Carey some of us old dudes left from that time then I worked for another union carrier that is now out business and for 24 days we were on strike same fears then as now and I get it.
The questions from them then my answers to these fine young members.
How long do you think it will last if we walk -who knows my crystal ball is in the shop for repair.
Man that strike pay isn’t much I have wife and kids to take care of- I understand yet you’re not the only one with family and the strike pay is something.
Can I sign up for unemployment - no you can’t.
Will it get violent - I doubt it I sure as shit hope there is no violence tempers do rise from my only experience when on strike.
Telling them memories from 94 when I watched dudes cross to work their reasons to cross ,cuz they had families to take care of the strike pay was not enough. A hammer tossed through window of scab truck driver who actually argued with us that we were greedy bastards.
Oh here is a memory a hammer took out the windshield of his old cab over freight shaker he was gonna get a load of freight he never got that freight he turned around. Some fists were thrown both ways nothing major just business I don’t condone violence yet we stand together.
I tell them these young men and women back then in 94 we still had a lot of Hoffa senior members and they were solid guys in fuck around and find out types.
And after we all went back to work the 4 guys who scabbed on us in 94 were all gone within a year cuz those old members just made their lives at work hard nothings physical just a life of shit in which they deserved .
I miss those old guys when I started in 87 as Dock man they took care of you if you were ok ,Kid just do your job give no shit take no shit. My attitude was yea sure ok I’m just doing this temporarily until the industrial electrician or Boiler makers open up their books to take on new apprentices at the steel mills.
By the way I’m still waiting thirty six years later at 57 to get in one of those two union apprenticeships sarcasm it was the late 80’s times for trades and steel industries were tough.
So if it goes down and we find ourselves picketing outside the fence and you encounter anyone crossing to go scab do not confront them may not end well , and you do not need any charges from local D.A.
Relax people do not get nervous we’re still working and in negotiations. Nobody wants to do this yet we may have to do it. As for this new president O’Brien he see he seems to be a fighter unlike Hoffa junior who just screwed us for twenty three years.
Here is hoping for the best.
Grunts of the sky So your day time job in 1971 was to fly around and get shot at
A friend of mine who is now full time VA care a conversation we had years ago. Just got text sitting here having coffee from his daughter.
Hope I’m not waking you yet I know you usually work nights I just opened my email and my Covid results are+.
I was to take mom to spend the weekend with dad Saturday and Sunday we have hotel reservations Friday to Sunday as this will be their 54 th wedding anniversary was wondering if you could take mom over so she can spend time with dad.
I text her absolutely I’ll check her into hotel tomorrow pick her up Sunday evening the hotel has transportation to and from Veterans hospital. I remember having couple beers with Andy he was union driver and we became really tight over the years.
Yet my point in this ramble is Andy once described to me what as Loach pilots he did in Vietnam they flew as scouts some times bait and once they were engaged they would engage usually the door gunner / crew chief with a M-60 and call in cobras that were hovering off station.
Then cobra gunships come in and get the killing on with the NVA. Man that gave me chills listening to him tell me that. I said dam you were the Grunts of the sky he told me in one year tour he was shot down five times in one day he rode two little birds him and his crew chief we rode two little bids into the trees on that operation two birds in one day lose a bird get picked up by Huey fly back strap on another little bird just a day at the office .
Andy continued telling me of that day in 71,they the NVA had 51 caliber heavy machine guns in that fucking valley but we flew we had our people on the ground engaging them his words that to me is STUD dedication.
I was five years old in 71 a bad day for me was the romper room lady never once called out my name Long night going bed sleep off night shift. Have great day Du community especially those that lived like my friend Andy.
How do you bring a republican to their knees
Paint your dick orange
Just heard this it’s fact
When I hear the word line haul driver to me it means Union truck driver
Line haul driver leaving point A to B back to A and in that trip you made great cash. The turns or trips for example say may be Harrisburg to Toledo or charlotte get to terminal. Then break down your radio box stash it in holding area grab your suitcase hop into hotel cab van and go rest up in the hotel motel the company pays for and do it again in ten hours , years ago you could skate on eight hours rest.
The second example in which I preferred was running district it used to be a cash cow example say leave Harrisburg maybe with a set of trailers or a 53 foot box. Leave Harrisburg to Brooklyn yard guys busy so you break down and make up a new set of pups two wagons.
You’re on the clock hourly working pins king pins to drop out trailers and build a new set is maybe 8-10 pins sometimes more and in that you get paid .25 per pin so in theory that’s 2 to 2.5 hours of pay that you can do in maybe half to three quarters hour so your ahead of game. Or if the yard guy does work you just sit in drivers area and get paid and wait, and head out.
Most nights district were anywhere between 450 - 550 mileage and especially on weekends when the end of line terminal were closed you did all the work. At times it was 14 hour day old Dot rules 15 hours and I remember say leave Harrisburg to Brooklyn out to Long Island call into dispatch say leaving the island. Dispatch asking from your home barn can you do you have the hours to swing through say Allentown to drop that one out and get these trailers bring them back.
Say under old contract back in 2018 I think it was
Mileage was what .62 cents mile clock time was $23 hour at my old freight outfit. Between mileage and clock time you were making low end $300- $380 to at times over $400 night
Here at brown it’s still cash cow for someone with high school diploma buster brown where we are paid hourly I like this much better yet.
And on top of working your ass off 5to6 trips week you had union protection from management you have great medical paid from two hour union dues month and you were getting cash paid into your pension.
So recently I heard add on Sirius XM tonight at work come and work linehaul for Fed x ground all contractors owner operator small fleet owners.
I imagine it’s all mileage no clock time you’re gonna be paying a lot if they have any health benefits which are probably shit and no pension. Trucking is a plantation Hoffa senior tried to make it better all the old timers I knew said the old man Hoffa it was all for the men. In my world I started in 87 deregulation and Hoffa junior destroying master freight contracts have ruined what was once great job.
Have you ever tried to talk to well I refer to them as American Taliban the Qvangelicals
First of all I’m not trying to offend any believers by this ramble I believe ,yet I’m not sure if I believe in the in the traditional that a lot of us grew up being taught.
I know quite a few Qvangelicals Taliban types family co workers our youngest daughters in laws. I grew up around them the tent revival types as kid in Appalachia. Actually once a great aunt from our mothers side of the family dragged my twin brother and my one brother who is year younger than us to tent revival once.
So what bothers me with the American Taliban is if you do not worship like they do or believe your up shit creek without a paddle their obsession with the Old Testament the punishment of sin or what they think of as sinful these people are cruel they hate or live in fear of
Woke drag queens
Reading books that they do not approve of
Abortion
Foreigners well those dark skin foreigners coming to take our jobs huh I think.
Being a demoncrat a democrat
The LGBTQ community these are just few examples of what I feel is how they pervert religion we are to love all. Didn’t Jesus break that and deliver us from Old Testament.
So back to my Loon great aunt at tent revival Oh boy they we were two six year olds and five year old on our knees praying confessing our sins trying to get that get out of eternal damnation card. I’m not sure what we confessed to as in sin we three probably did not have a meeting afterwards to talk it over.
Really at that age you are really not a heavy hitter in the sinning department, ok sure maybe couple years later you find yourself in puberty and having lustful thoughts. And touching yourself looking at the sears catalogues looking at the women in the bra section, bro check this out is that her nipple I think so.
Is having lustful thoughts a sin and then beating off as teenager probably not yet in the evangelical world definitely is. I can tell you from experience where beating off is definitely a huge no no it’s the religion of the infantry senior Drill when he discovers the fire guard at say 01:00 beating it on the open toilet. My poor friend dude and i we enlisted on buddy program.
Lights come on in platoon bay everybody GTFO up now front leaning rest position and we were educated that private was letting us all down for his own fucking self pleasure. You scumbags should be grateful to me in catching him in his dereliction of his guard what if there was a fire why you all would be crispier than mess hall bacon.
So we all got roasted and toasted push ups dying cock roaches mountain climbers just to give you a picture no getting out of it don’t take it personal it’s all part of program. So after maybe two hours of paying the price he screams get into your PT gear we’re starting the day. Monday to Saturday first call 03:00 Sunday was great we first called 06:00.
I got side tracked stay focused Dunc so today as in calling ourselves Christian is this correct so this is what I’m thinking or asking questions.
In Galatian 3:28 Jesus spoke in saying something like there is no Man nor woman no Jew or Gentile or slaves or masters.
So that in reading Galatians 3:28 I feel just blows up the idea of organized Christianity what were you thinking Constantine in murdering those that were not Christian. So Jesus was straight to the point as long as you seek God it’s ok you don’t have to seek God in a church or in an indoctrinated religion you seek however you need to because God is within you.
Do you think Christ was saying to us you as living are divine your are the divinity. You do not need a preacher telling you how to live and operate I used to have conversations with Liz we would talk tried to have it with mother in law over coffee this morning I think I scared her she went to do her crossword she is a staunch Lutheran as in she’d give Garrison Keillor a run in his Lutheran stories.
Yea I’ve been really scaring my mother in law by reading the Apocrypha actually I’m re reading the book of Enoch like for the third time. I know I freak her out in asking what if questions what if we’re actually worshiping aliens what if the agnostics got it right.
Ok anyway just rambling the boys have in school today they left early to workout with baseball team in weight room. Me I’m off tonight long night at work last night , traveling to attorneys tomorrow over near Philly two hours away I so trust this woman .
She and my wife were friends they attended law school together and she is helping in closing Elizabeth estate . The details this in trying to well Liz had a substantial 401k + pension her years at Lehman brothers so yea I passed out life insurance to our kids and grandkids.
So yea I have union pension yet in person we have to meet so I wanna ask her if we can break up 401 and gift it to the kids. I do not know yet I do know that this fine attorney will explain it to me in person she doesn’t do in depth over phone.
Later Du community have great day.
