Saturday I went into work at 6 am. Had a ton of little things to get done.

I was cutting some steel clips with an abrasive saw. The pieces dropped to the floor, after cutting the pieces I needed I was picking them up, they were red hot and burnt my right thumb. Just a small burn, no big deal.

A customer owes us $3500. The work is all done and this prick is giving me a rough time about my money. Last week he told my dad that he was going to pay us on Monday (last Monday), but I didn?t know that. So I saw the guy on Friday and said hey I want that $3500. He said well I?m on my way out and don?t have my check book. So I said yea, I?ll be back tomorrow. So yesterday around lunch time I show up and go in looking for this dude and catch him trying to sneak to his truck. This bastard was trying to duck me. So I spy him in the parking lot.

?Hey I need a word with you.? So I say hey the work has been done for 2 weeks and I want my money.

He tells me he does not have it, so I tell him, ?That?s ok I?ll take half of it today.? He gets all snotty and tells me, ?No.? He writes his bills out on Mondays and will pay me on Monday, (the same scam he ran on dad last week). Then he proceeds to tell me not to come looking for the money again, that he?ll come find me when he is ready to pay. I was pissed. I told him I?d take his word that he was going to pay on Monday, but if he didn?t he should expect to see me on Tuesday.

After that I was finishing a deck and smashed my left thumb with a hammer. My nail bruised pretty badly, all purple and sore. I left work about 2, went to the store and got 12 Oberon (any of you tried this Oberon beer from Bells? It?s the best beer I?ve ever had.) and a 12 pack of Corona. I sat on the deck and got drunk and grilled some brats.

Kids went to bed about 10 and I broke out some chronic and sat on the deck and listened to some music. Went to bed about 1am.

Today I got up at 8. Helped make pancakes for the kids and coffee for the wife and I. I fired up the smoker and got a pork butt on the smoker about 10 am. That should cook till about 5. Later we?re taking the kids for a walk, provided we don?t get thunderstorms.
