Thread: burrocrat's Account Talk

    Default Re: burrocrat's Account Talk

    so i came across something silly strange the other day, don't ask why i'm researching alpacas. all i can say is i have a client that raises them for fiber and value-adds by selling prime fiber, hand spins yarn, sells finished products, and teaches classes. also makes soap and lotion with goat's milk. a non-traditional operator to say the least. but i am in a position to obligate gov funds to support and expand her goals as a viable ag enterprise. so i have to know everything from sh!t to git. how do things get produced, what happens in between, and what is end value?

    now this particular example caught my eye for a number of reasons: watch her technique for catching the animal, watch her knees to control it for shearing. and to add to the strange... if you say don't wear short shorts over 40 but got a top that sits up high like that on a 110 degree texas day, then why do you look so cold? no offense to the lady, but pretty sure that is an ex stripper, i have a knack for reading folks.

    i got the table covered, don't worry about it. the only way to beat me is wear daisy dukes, a white tank top, boots with no socks, and hope i get distracted. i'm a sucker for that. dang cowgirls do it everytime.

    Woah Burro, interesting alpacas shearing video (just don't have anyone come at you with those gigantic well oiled shears. ). The video, never seen anything like it, fascinating, exhausting, but totally twitterpated as far as.....never mind. Hope you enjoy the new "Wonder Woman" flick.

    so i will tell you a thing or two about paperboys. it is a noble profession. i used to be one. you wake up early, sometimes crash your bike at the bottom of the hill, sometimes lose some skin from the shoulders, and sometimes you find unusual opportunities. the early bird gets the worm.

    so at the "handi-mart", yes that is what it was called back then, they used to sell penny candy, yep one penny for one candy, could just dig your grubby little hands in and get all the sugar you want, lay them on the counter and add it up. i liked the cherry medallions or the strawberry hearts. it was a simple time.

    but out back, once a month, they would take all the unsold playboy and penthouse magazines and rip the cover off. trade the cover back to the delivery guy for credit on the next month full of good stories and other stuff. then they would just throw the rest of the magazine (the part with the good stories and stuff) out in the dumpster with no cover. so that was an interesting opportunity for this young paperboy.

    i could tell when they would be out because of the new stock inside wrapped in plastic when i went to get my penny candy. then i would just loop around and do a little dumpster diving out back.

    i sold them to classmates on my route. i made more money from coverless playboys than i ever did from tossing newspapers on the porch. had the perfect cover, good reason to be out early, big bags hanging from handlebars to carry product, just on my way to school ma'am.

    so i'd wrap them up in the day's news, and meet the other kid at the curb, they knew when it was coming, got em, tomorrow, be there. "oh, little johhny taking such interest in the current events, thank you for getting the paper this morning johnny". parents looking out the kitchen window so proud. yep, uh huh. honey he ain't getting stock tips, he lookin at other points. caching.

    for every hustle there is a hustler. got to have vision. i am proud i was a paperboy.

    now it is all digital. a lost art.

    I can't believe I watched the whole thing! I got a load of back hair needing to be sheared, but my wife would probably frown on the notion!!

    so as i age, i've been looking for ways to appear thinner (short of actual exercise and hard work, because, well, you know, that would be hard work). anyways, i found this trick and wanted to share it with you folks...

    i only carry one credit card. and i spend all the ones and fives as soon as i get them. i'll buy something that costs $7.99 just to get rid of 3 ones and a five. because if i carry all my credit cards and save my small bills, pretty soon my wallet gets thick which makes my butt look lopsided and fat. ancient chinese secret, winning!
