Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
My neighbor's big tree dropped a limb in my backyard and the service she hired to clean up and take down the rest of the tree showed up today. I now have a 115-horsepower tree-shredder in my driveway.



I'm disappointed in myself for not coming up with any good ideas for what to do with it. I don't even have any old hard drives to get rid of.

Hollow out a watermelon, fill it with tomato sauce and raw chicken. Jam it as deep as you can into the shredder.

When they dudes turn it on they'll think a raccoon or cat was in there.

Get up late for work, shower and dress while half asleep, walk into the garage forgetting you had to park outside, open the garage door while sipping coffee, unlock your door from the keyfob and blindly walk into the chipper, spraying a human emulsion on your mailbox. Most people never get this opportunity!!!

In truckfuckling-adjacent news, this week one of our Ohio drivers saw one of our trailers being pulled by a random owner-operator and called it in- turns out that last week it was stolen from Amazon in Baltimore (Happy Prime day!!!)- he called it in to us and I let the owner of the company know. He instructed the driver to try to safely keep up with him and call the police.

The OO wasn't governed and was going about 80 so our driver lost him, but state PD caught up with him, checked his paperwork, and let him go because Officer Jimbob from Bumblefuck, OH couldn't read our name on the trailer.

Upon hearing this my boss starts calling PDs until he gets the barracks that pulled him over and convinced them to give him the shipper's name. He then calls the shipper and, while cranking up the South Jersey Italian accent to 11, proceeds to threaten them until they give him the consignee. He then redirects our nearest driver to bobtail to the location, block the guy in, and hand him his cell phone so he can threaten the owner-operator until he relinquishes our trailer.

According to my father, who was a tree trimmer for 27 odd years, road cones are fun to toss in.

They did this because the NYC press called him out for always having his motorcade idling while he was in meetings, even though he had signed bills against vehicle idling. So they decided to try this so that they could cool the car without having the engine idling.

Or he could just suffer in a hot car for all of three minutes like the rest of us.

Good God, what a baby.

Fake edit: Hell, he could still get into an already chilled car if they just started it, like, as he was leaving whatever place he was at. It's going to take him a few minutes to get outside to the car, so that's plenty of time to get it to comfortable temps.

The drivers definitely have something to do with it. They're stuck waiting in those cars with the windows up for hours. Doing that without any AC really loving sucks.
