50 coin day: Second coming of Skelator!

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....what a difference a day makes. Yesterday it was fur lined long johns and today mask and snorkel. Got out for an hour and a half and doing this post before the dreaded barrage of night shifts begin.

Marie was served breakie in bed got up did a load of wash and went you know where. So much for coffee money for work! Don't know how to set the alarm clock as I'm mechanically challenged along with about every other challenged you can think so out I went to a local school. Goquickski was enjoying a free wash and I on the other hand looked like I just exited a coal mine with even the word "Garrett" obsecured on my ball hat given to me by mary P.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc02b3127cce8023ac4b3ca600000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>


Coins were coming at a good pace and the ground was super wet which was ok as the lobster gloves are great for this type of digging. Around the soccer net I got a nice signal and out popped Skelator. Found his twin earlier in the summer. Must be related to that Grinch fellow!

Anyway 64 coins later ($9.15) a dewy and the ring and I was homeward bound. Passed by Tim's with some reluctance as Goquicksi's belly was growling so I pumped my last $20 into her.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc02b3127cce8023ac48bd9500000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

...another nice day at almost $10CAN, Les. I feel for you on the night rotation, my man. I got bypassed this Xmas, but had to pull the duty on Thanksgiving - and I TOOK New Years Day off.

My lead man asked if he could call me during the holidays.
"Sure, you can," I told him.
"Oh good, which of the days would you be able to come in?"
I looked at him with a deadpan face.
"You can call me all you want, Sam. Wish me a Merry Christmas, talk football, even ask me what Santa brought, if you want. But, I didn't say I was coming in."
Like all good middle-management company men, he simply said, nonplussed,
"So you can't come in? I guess I heard you wrong..."
"That's Right," was all I said. Work is what I do cause I need to - I'll take the time off when it's an option.
