This is the end of my work week. It does not look like a very busy day since there are no containers going to the port. All the ports up and down the river are down for maintenance annually so the river traffic is halted for two weeks. It was daylight all the way to work this morning and we will drop back next week and it will be dark again for a while.

Rick came by and appeared rushed but he was started on a problem he had with the forklift breaking but a loaded truck and Michelle showed up while he was in mid-story so he sort of mumbled and left. Michelle had a big story about her truck not starting because the battery was low and wouldn't turn the motor over.

I was not that busy and was able to get in three sets of exercise and walked the loop after work. According to the pedometer it was 1.47 miles today. Pretty good. I did not have much food so it should be about even. I got most of the work done that needed doing. There were only two trucks all day long.

Tom did not come up until the end of the day. He seemed stressed and talked about the orders we may get. He eventually got around to ask me how I got to working with the inmates. I made up a sort of plausible answer. He said that he wanted me to talk to Mike. I guess he called them last night outside the tavern and couldn't get his car started. Apparently he went over to their house and there was the usually discussion. It sounds like nothing has changed much over the years and they are never satisfied with anything he does. At least he is out of the house and trying. I did not answer his request for me to talk to Mike. I just said that it sounded like he might need some professional help. I knew I did not want to get in the middle of that because he would always be digging at me and i doubt that I would have much influence on what he does or thinks. anyway it sort of ended with me making no commitment and he left.

I watched the video Bill Cosby Himself.  I did not think that it was that good really. Maybe I had heard some of it before. It seemed much too long to me. I was ready for it to end after an hour. I finally got up and started washing dishes.

The Memorable Positive Moment today was Tom asking me to talk to Michael. It made me feel worthwhile and it was a compliment that he thought I could help. It is still a bad idea but it is nice that he asked me.
