Some good, some bad.
So Tuesday was interesting. I looked up Rocktown Adventures next Intro to Kayaking class and found the Aug. 5th to be better suited and this way, I don't have to miss my Outdoor Yoga class. I was on my last block into work when I saw River 12's cofounder walking 2 bikes towards their yoga studio and as I was passing him, he asked about if I was doing River 12 this year. I said Idk yet. Speaking of River 12, I saw their promo for the event on WREX and it showed my work bike! Guess they liked the Adventures logo/symbolism since that was noticed by me right away ( as was my blue water bottle). I then saw CARTS guy walking towards our employee entrance. I heard about one of his leg's having a circulation problem a few weeks ago and then last Friday, he was telling me he has to have surgery on the 30th for it.
My legs felt a lot better on Tuesday hopefully due to all the extra protein I ate ( Nutter Butter, sunflower seeds and shrimp pasta) vs just stretching hehe. It was almost 1:30 and we were really ramping things up re:skids at that point. Skids coming down, skids needing to be put up, sometimes 2 in 10 minutes and I guess Kiera was doing things too fast; but she ended up backing up the forklift w/o realizing her forklift was up and she was under our 'delivery system's of machinery and ended up hitting it.
My pic I am showing is missing the 2 small pipes that are underneath the grippers about a few inches and span nearly the whole length.
That is what Kiera hit. 5-6 of the grippers ( yellow parts in my pic ) ended up breaking off and the pipes ended up being disconnected ( only spot where they are connected together w/ fasteners, no need for new pipes or welding,etc). It was pretty scary thing to watch, not knowing if anything fell on her, can we get back to work, etc.
Naturally we got a break of about 40 minutes while we waited to see if the accident site could be salvaged or get the papers moved over to our 2nd line ( papers move in opposite direction then like one time a few months ago). I felt like Kiera should have some time to herself since she was shook up and crying so I waited a while before trying to go up to her. D however wanted ppl out of the way so I went into the bathroom where R was and talked w/ her before then going out and chatting w/others before getting my chance to talk to Kiera.
I tried to be positive by saying the pipes aren't destroyed or bent since she wasn't going fast and the grippers just needed to be reassembled and we have spare parts. She did tell me that a couple of her fingers had a grippers land on it and were getting swollen. We don't have ice packs at work but Kiera felt that since she could bent her fingers, she could ice em later.
We ended up getting the work area fixed and we were back to work as if nothing happened (- D's joke of needing Farm and Fleet up a half hour after we were working again and he was motioning to Kiera like come on you going to put it up? She said no so he did it. I told her maybe Friday you'll be ok, but not the same day!
Yesterday I watched the first season of Shooter on Netflix, sold both my BudLight SuperBowl items to guy who was trying to low-ball me on the 2nd pack (but I got $180 for it when I was asking for $200) and was helping my Mom move a big book case and 2 beds from my brother's room to outside. We got into a thing as we were waiting to see how Jamie's C section went and my Mom brought up Marco Polo, my not having a SmartPhone and how I am KEEPING MYSELF SEPARATE from everyone else since I like texting and not video chats ( although how would they know, they never asked).
I will bring it today that if they want to pay the difference and get me a phone then I will do their stupid App but they can't say I am separate if they think my not paying $20-$40 extra/month is my fault at not wanting to participate since I guess if the video chatting is so much faster and leads to more convos that are weekly instead of every 4-5 months w/texting.
This is also why I have been up for the past hour. What am fucking Jason now? If I moved to Cali and went to water parks once in a while but was mostly doing my biking, kayaking and hiking, would I be accused of still being separate? Bc they are not into my interests but I have to be into theirs??????! Am I separate bc I haven't popped out kids too? I have to try to visit them but they don't have to see me? Would I have to tell everyone I am going to a flea market and wait for replies to see if anyone wants to go or can I go to things w/o checking in first?
I am Soo ready and looking forward to today's ride. I was talking to Andrew about Tuesday's ride this past week and he gave me a map ( email, not physical copy) of the loop that is around the WCFP ( over by the Bauer parkway on my way to TJ). At first I wanted to do it on Saturday w/ my TJ trip but realized I could do a solo trip, stop by Jimmy John's in Loves Park and eat the sandwich outside by the RRRP where there's picnic tables before going home after my 18-20 mile day.
