Eventually when it became apparent that my job would be long term, I assumed a mortgage on a small house, so that I could be done with apartment living and put a bit more distance between myself and the rest of humanity.

Winning.

I am going to meet with the on site manager tomorrow to see where we are with the situation. I have added the township police department on speed dial to my phone.

Today I rode my geared bike for the first time in a few weeks. Felt really good.

Has a bark collar been brought up?

Yes I discussed this with the owner as well as a citronella spray collar. I know that the spray collar works as I used it on my dog shortly after I moved in. Went through the same problem. She is afraid that it will poison her dog. It doesn't, it gets them to stop barking. My dog is silent now. He absolutely hated that collar and he learned quickly not to bark. He doesn't even bark when the pizza delivery guy rings my buzzer.

Today I will be riding in shorts probably for the last time this year. 5-8" of snow expected early morning on Saturday and into the weekend. It is somewhat cold this morning, but it is warming up and the sun is out without a cloud in the sky.

Today I saw two middle-aged women in a fist fight outside of an elementary school while on my way to the shop. A crowd was gathering and I didn't stop but it was pretty awesome.

Probably fighting over seat versus saddle, and you could have solved it for them. Shame on you?

Talked to my neighbor. I laid it down for her plain and simple. First off, I never see her as she leaves for work at 630 am and I am usually trying to sleep. I was off today and made it a point to knock on her door. I told her straight up what my intentions are. I told her that every morning that the dog wakes me up, I am calling the cops. I don't want her excuses, I just want the dog to stop barking, nothing against her, just the situation. She then tells me, get ready for this, that she is now medicating the dog. She didn't want to use the spray collar because she was afraid that she would be poisoning it. So what is she doing? Pumping the dog full of meds, more than likely Acepromazine. I have used this for travel with my dog when I was still married. It works, to an extent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acepromazine

I don't know if it will work in this situation. It takes a while for the drug to start working once you give it. So she would need to get up at like 4 am and immediately give it to the dog. I don't care at this point, I will call the police if the dog barks in the morning. So this lady would rather sedate her dog, and pump it full of drugs instead of using a citronella spray collar. Now I know I am dealing with an idiot.

jacobversus 11-20-15 04:42 PM

Wow, thats insane.

TejanoTrackie 11-20-15 04:59 PM

Can you say "animal cruelty" ?

Mumonkan 11-20-15 05:02 PM

she just wants to control the dosage and poison the dog at her own speed

i knew that you were dealing with an idiot when you first introduced us to this saga

TenSpeedV2 11-20-15 05:43 PM

I made some decent tips today delivering for Jimmy John's. Set a new personal record of 3 deliveries on campus and back to the store in 12 minutes. Only been there a month. Loving it so far.

Mumonkan 11-20-15 06:01 PM

do they let you eat free food? ive never worked in the food biz for fears of eating myself to death at work

Nagrom_ 11-20-15 06:21 PM

No sir. We get a small discount on food while we are working. They revamped their tattoo policy since you asked last time. They can be visible as long as they are not lewd, drugs, violence, etc. Piercing policy remains unchanged I believe.

(yesterday) I did my longest Fixed Ride to date - 40 miles. Felt good. I had to tell my legs/knees to shut up around mile 37/38.

And today I exchanged my Shimano SPD M520 is pedals for Look Kēo Max 2 pedals. (Love being an REI member. Dat one year return policy tho.)

SpeshulEd 11-20-15 09:10 PM

It's too bad that lady doesn't just take her dog for a walk once a day or take it outside and play with it for 20-30 minutes. I bet it would solve a lot of problems.

Did a solo century today, now pizza, beer, and ice cream.

johnnytheboy 11-20-15 09:14 PM

good job, Ed!!

SpeshulEd 11-20-15 09:24 PM

Thanks Johnny!

I just made some bomb ass vegetable stock which I will be turning into a gravy of epic proportions. Basically my plan is to boil it down carefully and let it get thicker and richer until where I need it, then profit. Sort of Japanese sushi sauce style (I watched a program a while back about a sauce they made that took 12 hours and was like damn I want to do that)

Mumonkan 11-21-15 02:45 AM

^lemme hit dat veg stock gravy.
