Under construction........

This long neglected site needs some updating, bear with me as I re-tool links and delete some dead posts. most of it should be available as I do this but bear with me......seems as good as anyplace to start writing again........:)

And another candle blown out...........

Back in what I tend to refer to as my previous life, I used to have a job with a large customer base and some favorites that really became good friends over the years. One of those friends was a goofass who went by the nickname Krockett and to be honest was pretty much batshit insane.........in short...my kind of people.      He'd come to our service counter and harass the girls (I was working for a small branch of a larger industrial supply company), bullshit with the guys....share new leads and drink half a pot of my coffee while buying maybe $3.00-$4.00 worth of o-rings......and unless I had a bigger problem to deal with, I honestly welcomed his visits.      I remember one time I was on the phone, so a co-worker took care of his pick-up order......she came back and threw the receipt and the check he used to pay for it on my desk....and literally said..."he's your friend......you deal with this shit!" When I looked at the receipt everything seemed in order.....then I saw that he had signed his check "David Dribbledick"....yet again...He asked me try to cash it just to see what the bank would do, I did and ironically they cashed it.......lolol      He was a huge animal rights advocate, was big into supporting local rescue groups.......loved his two dogs as much if not more than his wife. He was just one hell of a nice guy and I am damn lucky to have know him....      Krockett (David Krieger) was gunned down this morning in the parking lot of his family business. A man outside was kicking a dog that liked to hang out there..Krockett went out to stop him...the man pulled out a gun, shot him twice in the chest and ran away.......only to be caught a few hours later in a house less than a 1000 yards away from where the shooting took place.. I'm drinking a beer right now in his name, I invite any of you to do the same. This is not what I had planned on posting today....but it's a post about a good person.....
