The post whore thread.

Heya Fentonite.

[Irving]

There is a street in Golden called El Diente, which just means The Tooth, which I think is funny.

I don't think I'd want to do what you do, Irving. It's not just property and claims and all, it's peoples lives. And the scammers/false claims and the bullshitters and such.

Hey Chris, Stu.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Somebody needs a beer.

I'm all over that like stink on shit, my friend.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey Chris, Stu.

You got some time for you and mama this weekend?

[Irving]

Most people aren't out to scam stuff, and those that are it's a lot easier to just tell them "no." It's more often contractors, but even then, most people are cool.
I definitely have to remember who I am dealing with though. After the wind/snow storm, I had a bunch of "fallen tree branch" claims and more than one person asked me if they should have turned in a claim. I struggle with that because I try to do all my own work, so there aren't very many things I'd actually turn a claim in for. Every once in a while I'll get a claim that looks bad, like a long term water loss where everything gets covered in mold (which usually isn't covered by the way), and it will be some one who is completely helpless as far as doing anything on their own is concerned, and on top of that doesn't even have enough for their deductible, let alone hiring out a job. I have to be very careful of my tone in those situations because it doesn't look good for me to come across like something is no big deal, when they are clearly devastated and think that their life is over.

I'm embarrassed to admit that when I say that I'm stressed, it's not over anything important or complicated, just shying away from volume.

Hi Fentonite.

Not much. Back to work tomorrow through the weekend. The coming week is already pretty heavy too, but should get better. Lemme know if you have time to meet up before the exodus, see what we can figure out.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I suppose stress or worry probably shouldn't be active words used in vocabulary when expressing emotional aspects.

Either shit's gonna work out, or it ain't.

I'd like it to work out.

Here was how I loaded my trailer for that camping/work trip last weekend.
