RE: 1/4 Oz - Show Us Your California - Week 12
During my time in Cali I spent many nights wondering the oil fields, or should I say getting lost in the oil fields trying to find the cause of a power outage. These oil field were located in the Beautiful hills of Oildale, Taft, and Avanal. I spent most of my 8 years in central Cali, well better known as the Armpit So seeing those oil rigs right in town is really throwing me for a loop.
I worked so much we didn’t take many vacations and the ones we did take were back up to Washington to visit family. I did make it to LA once to buy my Truck. The guy was asking $12K and I offered him $5k, we settled on $6.5k. Little did I know I was going to feel real guilty later. The guy was a midget and I felt like I totally took advantage of him. Lol. Yes I purchased my Crew Cab Dually 4x4 Flatbed Diesel Truck from a Midget in LA
I can’t make this up dude!!
I lived in Fresno and would make an occasional trip to Monterey Bay But That Place isn’t that spectacular, accept it does have a pretty awesome aquarium
Oh man, iheart Monterey Bay! When we were staying in hollister, we would cruise over to Monterey a few times a month. Santa Cruz is a dump, Monterey Bay is gorgeous. Maybe it was a long time ago and you were a lot younger?
Surprising where they plant these rigs, isn’t it? Man, it was totally unintentional but I found an #fff post amongst my searching. Wait’ll you see my contender. 👍🏿
Do you think midgets have ‘short-man syndrome?’ Dually, diesel, etc, hints toward “yes” but then again he was just short and it’s just a truck. 🤔
I don’t know if I’ve told you before but whenever you
or anyone Mentions Fresno, bro, I can’t help but immediately think of Planet Asia. Heard of him? One of the better things to come out of Fresno and undeniably the best MC to come outta the realm of farm Lands and slaughter houses.
Thanks for stopping by @jlsplatts.
(Man!! I ain’t heard that track for a minute! Thanks for forcing me to put in my earbuds this am, Splatts. ....such a jam)
What you saying I’m short....shhh don’t tell anyone :wink:wink
I know a lot of CHP have short-man syndrome. I’ve heard this countless times when a car would smash into a pole... a shorter gentlemen steps out of his police cruiser...”What’s this Jack ass have to say”. Me...well, I just turn and start laughing!!! BTW the guy was Hispanic and I think under his hat he was rockin’ a mullet of some sort. I don’t know for sure but he did have some long hair hangin out the back. Dude I was in a neighborhood that looked exactly like the movie Friday, short fences in the front yard and a ton of small houses that looked the same.
There were some interesting things about Fresno but I worked so much I don’t remember. I will have to throw my earbuds in and check him out. I got virgin ears around lol. I did enjoy picking the peaches off of the tops of the trees in the orchard from my bucket truck though. You know the ones that get the most sun and taste the absolute best!!! Or oranges, watermelons, okay I’m going to stop.
As soon as you said you picked the peaches from the top, without reading anymore I knew you were in the bucket truck and I had a sense of how delicious they were before I finished the sentence.
Yeah, the ones that nobody else can reach! Happy Saturday @jlsplatts.
