    Good morning ladies and gents! Hope everyone is having a fine Saturday thus far. It’s been a hectic night here and I am headed for some rack ops ASAP. Pro Tip: Babysitting a 71 year old child is about as fun as it sounds. 🙄 On the upside, we are having a brief respite from…

    Good morning one and all! I hope you are having a fantastic Friday and are ready for the weekend! Personally, I will be working, but since the temps have finally dropped some, I am grateful for that and won’t be totally miserable.😄 As some may have seen me allude to recently, things have been a…

    Good morning and Happy Hump Day everyone! Hope the week has been decent so far. Hit a new high in the shop with 113° temperatures last night so that was fun đŸĨĩ😆 Thankfully I am off today and can get a respite. Hope the day treats you well and you can glide towards the second…

    Yes indeed! The Beetle War is upon us! Another fun part of my job is when I am going outside to check on everything, I get attacked by a bunch of big ass beetles! They’re all over the place and everytime I go out there, I’m fighting off multiple attacks. When you’re going out there…

    Good morning, everyone. I hope your Monday is off to a fine start and the upcoming week treats you well. We are under a heat advisory for today and tomorrow, so there will be a lot of laying low whenever possible. Unfortunately, this also means work will be well above the 100° mark, of which…

    To: All Forward Units From: Gorilla HQ Sitrep: People need to start working together eventually or this world is fucked. McCormick Grill Mates Garlic Butter Seasoning. Sprinkle this on a frozen pizza before cooking and enjoy. Nope. Still not profiting from these recommendations. Not even a free sample. 🙄 Ketchup or Catsup? Refrigerated or no?…

    Good morning one and all. I hope this Saturday is treating you well, and your weekend is going smoothly. It has been a busy few days around here. Looking at a potential life change, so that’s been taking up most of my time lately. I’ll keep it to myself for now, but if it comes…

    Good morning and Happy Hump Day! Hope everyone is doing well as we roll into the midweek. Back to the grind for me tonight, and eyeing 95° temps, which means 100-plus in the shop. đŸĨĩ I’ll be in my office as much as possible, I assure you. 😄 How the hell you all doing? Here’s…

    The inglorious battle rages on! I come armed with a mighty Warhammer to tame the mechanical monsters of mayhem! Verily! They have tried to best me in mortal combat, but have not been successful. Aye, while true they wounded me (again!), they have not made me or my allies yield! WE FIGHT ON!!! The Aura…

    I think letting go of anger and preconceptions over small, mostly irrelevant things goes a long way towards promoting harmony. When we realize we don’t need to be right about every little thing, or don’t have to stress over things we cannot control, life does seem a little more peaceful for everyone. Have a great…

    Good morning and Happy 4th of July to those who are observing! No politics, no ruminating, or any of that. Just going to say I’m grateful for what I have, and if you are celebrating and/or traveling, please be safe! I “celebrated” by doing my push-up challenge that I have been threatening. 😀 More on…

    Because why the hell not? Mr. Moonweasel is going to be our emcee today because a certain gorilla is physically and mentally beat. “Silo” truly is a four-letter word in more ways than one. 😄 I can’t explain the whole process in a three minute read, but suffice to say if my silos screw up…

    Much like the gratitude prompt, this could be a very broad question. But I think my answer is similar, really. I think at the end of the day, whether it be a gift, a gesture, or a few words, it’s if it’s genuine that matters most. Letting someone know they are truly appreciated and meaningful…

    This is a very broad question. It depends on the situation and the person, really. The quickest answer I can give on this is whether it’s a gift, a gesture, or a kind word, make it genuine. That, to me, is how you express gratitude. Have a great day, everyone!

    This response will sound a bit flippant, but it actually isn’t meant to be. I ponder things and think deeply about some, but I try not to worry about them if I can help it. As a “seasoned” gorilla, I have learned that too much worrying is detrimental to both one’s mental and physical being.…

    Good day, all. Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday thus far. It’s a muggy, miserable one here. Temperature was already above 80 at 8am this morning, and last night’s rain has just added to the misery. đŸĨĩ The A/C is working overtime today, I’ll tell ya. Hopefully it’s a bit more pleasant wherever you…
