Got a full schedule today. Last job is Mongolian restaurant with very greasy carpet. I sure wish @Matt Wood was here to help me so he can operate my dump valve for me while I stand around and wait. Guess I'll just have to be efficient and use my APO and work without a break. I sure wish I was a union shop where I could take smoke breaks every hour. Think of all the fun I've missed in my life by not smoking. I've been left out of so many social events in life 
As I sit here pondering my full day of pain and abuse, my homeless dad called me. He wants to come and help me out today. I told him there is nothing glamours about cleaning carpets, and it's very labor intensive. He's 70 years old but still pulls hard as a mule. So, he may be coming up to hang with me today. This should be interesting. I won't make him do the Mongolian place with me, but I may teach him how to dye a carpet and let him play with my power stretcher. Maybe even make him carry it to the door, that thing is heavy.
As for my dad's loss of everything, that is quite the other story. He is in the PG&E lawsuit, FEMA is gong to be helping him out, 11 of his 13 rentals and his personal home burned down, SBA will be issueing him a $2mil loan at 3.4% to rebuild, FEMA is issuing about $200k total, Comp insurance on the cars is issuing checks this week, and his pension and SS are kicking in. FEMA is also paying him a rental supplement of $800 per month. What an adventure. Hopefully we can get into Paradise on Monday. They still aren't letting people in.
Just sharing some thoughts with ya'll. Not looking forward to my day in the rain and wind. It should be interesting with Pops helping out.
