GARBAGE TRUCK BBQ


Sometimes I haul fill dirt to landfills around the
valley and Friday I was surprised to find that at
the Allied Waste Landfill out on SR 85 they had
this truck & trailer set up that had this BBQ grill
that is an exact replica of one of their garbage
trucks [except for the grill part of course] and
its about the size of a Dodge mini van .
They were serving hamburger's & smoked
sausage's free to all the commercial drivers
hauling into that landfill to say thanks because
without us including the garbage truck drivers
they would be out of business . I found out that
they go around to their different landfill sites
doing this and I thought that's pretty cool .
You may be wondering why would they need
dirt hauled into a landfill don't they just dig a
giant hole fill it with garbage and cover it with
the dirt they dug out of the hole , NO dirt has to
be hauled in because the garbage has to be
mixed with dirt as it is dumped this helps to
compact and stabilize the landfill site .
I have to say Kudos to Allied Waste Services ,
we [CDL drivers] appreciate being appreciated
especially when most people just think
were in their way .

MY LITTLE GIRL

This is my little girl Sadie , she's 6 years
old spoiled rotten and sheds constantly
but I love her to no end anyway .

She's a great alarm and would do her best
as a guard dog but she's only a foot and
a half tall , besides she loves almost everyone .

My neighbor has allot of outdoor cats ,

Sadie doesn't hate cats she just thinks

their fluffy chew toys to be tossed around

and chewed on , the thing is the cats don't

stick around to let her play with them .

Anyway I think I've got her to just leave

them alone {finally}.

I took this picture of her while we enjoyed

the cool temp. and sunrise this morning

and she didn't even give the cats a second

look .

This afternoon we are going out to my

sisters house for Sunday dinner

[Sadie LOVES to go for rides] and she

will get to see her sister Sassy . I swear

that sometimes Sadie can read my mind

because whenever I'm going to take her

for a ride she knows it before I ever give

her any verbal indication , all I have to

do is head for the door and she just goes

with me as opposed to when I'm not taking

her she just sits or lays down and looks

at me as if to say see ya later daddy .

She's my good little girl .

NOTE

My beloved Sadie went to Doggie Heaven March 30th 2008
