Josh all I can say is................you missed your calling, hauling coin for the toolers is all wrong, find yourself an outlet on some crappy Cable TV network (sorry, redundant - Cable TV Network) and make some serious money. Your travel log has me dying laughing. Thanks.  |

I'm all for everyone living posthumously through my suffering and I hope the "curse of the World Traveler" will not be passed on to the next "candidate" and I have not staged anything or done anything out of my normal daily routine other than hitting up the Northside for commercial entertainment purposes. Yes my life really sucks  I told my boss to phuk off I'm not coming in next Monday I hope you finally get the message that after you're daily / weekly / monthly Habidy fieldtrips and all the lies catch up I am not coming in to bail you out anymore. I'm sure he will miss the point. I tried to get the point across a few years ago when I emailed in at the last minute on a Sunday and said I had the "itis" and wasn't coming in on Monday. The sad part was he actually thought I was sick and couldn't acknowledge that there was a problem until I showed up the next day and told him I wasn't sick but pissed off at the way things were going and he blamed me for not coming in to work Ready to post to the next "victim" next Tuesday if anyone wants to come forward. I will have to dig deep to expose the inner demons to find enough filler til then. There is still the Southside and the projects and the mid Northside and . . . . I'm sure Milwaukee has enough "heritage" to fill the boot. |

Today's World Traveler adventures and and Lordy  Stopped at the library in Stallis to return some items. They had a statue outside. Here's a picture of the Cobra Commander (from GI Joe) and his wife and child. I warned you before Stallis was trashy   How 'bout some more psycho serial killer action. The apartment building where Steven Zelich, AKA Mr. Handcuffs, lived. I guess there is a 5 murder minimum in order to get your building torn down. OR maybe because it is Stallis and not the straight up Northside it's "cool". There must be some shit in the water round here. www.cbsnews.com/news/former-wisconsin-cop-charged-in-suitcase-murders/www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/wisc-tied-s-m-web-forums-suspect-murders-women-suitcases-article-1.1845515www.inquisitr.com/1322027/new-disturbing-details-about-steven-zelich-former-cop-arrested-for-hiding-womens-bodies/ Saw this dumbass on the way to work. Anyone remember those stupid yellow fake road sign things? And the Garfield you stuck you your car window? I think there used to be a store at the Grand Ave Mall that sold those signs until the Northsiders ruined the mall. So how there are 3 degrees of separation daily.  What makes going to work even better? Below freezing  Here's one for you. If Invicta made a snowblower this would be it. Not only is Craftsman equipment total shit they come out with something like this to take advantage of idiots who look at the bling and trinkets instead of doing research and buying something quality. Wait. That is Invictas game plan.   My boss said his foot hurt and was limping around so I told him to go find some Asian acupuncture place and get himself a happy ending. Not 5 minutes later some chick comes in trying to sell us advertising in some local magazine mailer. Well look at this shit that was in it opposite page from each : you can learn to pole dance and then the massage / happy ending 3 degrees.  I was getting ready to leave and was backing out of my parking spot when all of sudden there was a popping noise from the right front wheel area and my truck felt like it had square tires. Great. There goes my after work plans. Luckily the shop wasn't packed full of crap cuz the boss and one of the 1/2's came in early to clean the shop and put the riding mowers that were in for winter storage up on the pallet racking. Cooter was told to be there at 7AM as well but of course he showed up at his usual time of 9:23. * *no watches were harmed during this repair.  I just had the wheels of and rotated my tires and greased my control arms a couple of weeks ago and everything was good. Nothing that would create a popping or binding in the suspension was visible but I did notice my ABS wire was rubbing the tire at full lock as the mounting bracket had shifted. I had to zip tie it because the jackholes that made the control arms got weld slag or whatever coating is one the arms in the bolt hole for the ABS sensor wire mounting bracket and when I went to drill it out to retap it it didn't go well. ![]()  All done and repositioned.  Wire out of the way now but a close fit.  I turned the wheel all the way to the lock again and spun the wheel to see if the wire would clear now and then all of a sudden BAM the wheel wouldn't turn anymore. Turns out the wheel weight was hitting the upper control arm and everytime it came around it would pop and kick the wheel out Nothing I can do about it because the control arms don't have steering stops on them. I'll just have to remember not to crank the wheel all the way. I had to use 1/2 wheel spacer on my grey truck because the tires would rub the sway bar when cranked all the way to one side and they still almost hit. And now the wheel weight is out of position. You can see on the weight where it was grinding on the control arm and the scuff on the rim where the weigh was dragging is it moved.  Back where it belongs.  Scavenger hunt item of the day. Anyone else have a Snap-On wheel weight pliers? I didn't think so   After that adventure all hope was lost so it's stop at the beer store and just go home. |

God, the Northside is awful. I worked at the old Schlitz brewery 25ish years ago when it was converted into offices. Is any of that still around? Also. my brother Brian was one of the young guys who worked for Jeffrey Dahmer a couple of years before he was caught. Apparently Dahmer worked away from Milwaukee at times. When he left this area he asked Brian to go along to Milwaukee, but Brian declined. He wanted to stay here. Boy was he glad he did when Dahmer was caught. Hopefully I'll have some photos this weekend or Monday. They turned one buildings into a bar and like you said they have been office building since. They tried to "transition" the neighborhood but West of their it is still hood. East of there they built some condo's on the river and Time Wanrer Cable got some of that gubment grant money. Old pics from a previous travel log from a bike forum 3 blocks away from the Schiltz brewery. The river still smells like shit and the Northside is 5 blocks away. I don't know what these richies think when they move down there. The hood doesn't care how much money you make or who your family is. They will phuk you up over $20 or for free if they ask you for a buck and you tell them to piss off.     |

I use to work on some wicked Kohler engined lawn mowers years ago when I worked in the plant game (plant machinery not roses and daffs). Could get those things down to about 50rpm I reckon. Those were sweet made engines. Probably total shit now!
Here's one for you then.
27HP Kohler fuel injected lawnmower. Also available in diesel and propane.

Today's adventures and travels. Saw this tag on the way to work METROID  Before work I had to start on this one. Trading some equipment repair for watch repair. Win-Win  Sad how some people have more than a few several thousand dollar watches but own 20 year old beat up and broke down lawn equipment   Visited my friends at Chase for my regular pick up.  The teller saved these 2 for me.  There's Bob again. After window shopping and tire kicking with us for 3 years he comes in today says his wife bought a new snowblower at Home Depot yesterday. He had a question about it but I was able to get him sidetracked for 10 minutes and riled up until I finally asked him what he wanted. Then my boss walked by and started on him  I forgot my camera at work but there was a wreck on the freeway (luckily on the other side) and the retards decided to stay stopped in the center lane right past the Zoo interchange to back traffic up for miles instead of pulling off to the shoulder. |

Josh, We love you no matter what the feds think. This is one of the most awesome and revealing threads anyone has ever documented on a watch forum. It has history, reality, danger, life and a lot of cool content. I have to say that no World Traveler has ever experienced this much with any previous host! If this watch is ever awarded to one of it's best hosts; you have to be the one! |

Well if your car got washed into the ocean by the tide and you took a picture that might score you some points

Alarm didn't go off this morning. Oh well, too bad since there is is no one else coming to work anyways. Got on the freeway this morning and it is actually almost moving for once. I guess I will have to come in late everyday like Cooter from now on. Today's don't get caught riding dirty tip of the day: make sure you have at least a 1/4" tank of gas. I usually do because it is good for your fuel pump and having traveled all over the country on motorcycles some with only a 100 mile per tank range I can tell you there are times when you are in the middle of nowhere and no gas stations to be found. My brother on the other hand as big of a phuk up as he used to be always had at least a quarter of a tank of gas in his car, not because it was the smart thing to do but because if he got in a rolling shootout or high speed chase you might have a chance. Stay tuned for tomorrows tip.  Going for a ride around the gas pumps (anyone ready to double down o their movie quote in forum credit)  There was a nice wreck on National Ave in Stallis with 4 squad cars, 2 fire engines, and an ambulance but just like the Northside crackheads you have to be fast and already prepared for the hunt to catch a picture in moving traffic and I wasn't ready and I had to make the bank by 5:30 and couldn't double back for a proper photo op. Maybe I need one of them Go Pro sports cams I can wear on my head all day so you guys don't miss out on any action The freeway wasn't bad so I guess everyone left early since it was Friday.  Bad pic but watch out for the Boss Hog Hazzard County speed trap. State Fair Park has a through "alleyway" in their parking lot which I don't know why anyone would drive through there anyways as there is a stop sign for the length of a city block for 8 blocks straight and the frontage road next to the freeway is only 1 block over  . Well it seems that the State Fair has their own police department and their own jurisdiction over the parking lot and "alleyway" and they sit there and ticket people all day, day in and day out. Sort of like the small town that the Interstate passes through for 8 blocks and the only source of revenue is from out of town speeders who are forced to pay the fine rather than come back and go to court. Speaking of "private police" way way back in the old old days when I worked at the Ford Dealer one of the service writers was Brian Switala. It turns out later he was a "police officer' for the UW Milwaukee campus and he capped someone who tried to run him down with their Jeep. Mind you I am anti police but I am also anti ghetto 3 strike felon d-bags roaming the streets thanks to the Milwaukee County Court system revolving door policy. It seems like facts like Jeffrey Dahmer worked at Ambrosia Chocolate (big local business) the liberal media has buried the story just like the Popeyes Chicken murders on 27th and Capitol to keep the image of the UW education system squeaky clean. It looks like he is now a Sargent with them and like I said I knew him back in the day and he seemed like a stand up guy until the Northside and the liberal media turned against him. 3 degrees. Only a mention in passing can be found. www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/167853215.html Stopped at my Friday pick up bank for my 4 Friday boxes.  Filled up after work. I refuse to prepay for gas since I don't live in the ghetto. And "I ain't a criminal. I can read, bitch." (bonus points if you can name that movie ) If I go to buy gas and I have to stand there waiting for you to turn on the pump and you refuse because I look suspect then phuk your shitty business and your hose is getting thrown on the grown for wasting my time and you better hope someone doesn't drive over it after I leave. I mean come on, how much gas am I potentially to steal on a motorcycle anyways? 3 gallons?  I had to double back to Stallis to go to my parents house and I chose the wrong street to take as 60th street was bumper to bumper for 2 1/2 miles with a stop light every 5 blocks Unfortunately like the rest of the Milwaukee area none of the side streets go through or connect so you can't duck down a side street and cut over 5 blocks down. Took me 15 minutes to make a 5 minute drive Once again the edit ate my post |

I bought a Craftsman snowblower in 2004 By 2007 every possible item had broken and I had lost 50 hours to repairs (in the freakin' cold) til it burned more oil than gas so I pulled the engine shroud. That's when I found the "Made in China" tag.
Junked it that April and bought my Ariens. I'll be living in the Senior Citizend Center when that thing breaks down.
Moral: Buy Quality.

Guess what? Chicken butt. No but seriously the edit ate my post again Today's adventure that really should have only been pictures of me and the World Traveler sitting in front of the TV watching football and drinking beer. I got into work at 8:30 and had to put Noah Riley's snowblower back together. I go back up to my desk at 8:55 so that when Cooter shows up on time or maybe even early (yeah right) I can let him in. I look outside and there are 4 idiots following the moron beacon outside. I log in to my bank and I see I still haven't been paid for last week. This is the point where I would normally grab my shit and walk out the door and not come back. I email my boss and let him know I ain't playing this shit no more and he plays it off as usual. If the money ain't there money C-ya wouldn't want to be ya let me know how your business works with 1/2 a person since the 1 has left the building. It turns out I should have just packed up and gone home because Cooter was cracked out off his ass when he finally showed and there was a steady line of people bitching why their snowblower wasn't done yet after a month because it is supposed to snow or why their part wasn't ordered after 2 weeks. The worst are "I have never owned a snowblower can you hold my hand for an hour" when there are 10 people waiting in line. Hospital rules. Triage. The sacrifice of a few for the greater good of the whole. Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz. If I am sitting around doing nothing like everyone else does all day every day I have no problem taking the time to help you. But if there are 4 phone lines lit up and 3 people in line and a stack of orders that need to be shipped that if I don't take care of nothing will get done at the end of the day. Eric stopped by at 10:30 and had to wait until 1 before I could look at his car. My boss and I and Eric all worked together at AS1 back 15 years ago. Even back then my boss would "work from home today" or have to leave early to build his house or what have you. If you have never had a real job with discipline it seems those are the jobs skills you acquire. After that Eric had his own business which was doing well until he got divorced and had to close down and ended up working for us. He also did our website on the side. Luckily he was able to get out of this hell hole and move on and get a real job running the IT help desk at the Medical College of WI. He comes around once or twice a month to get stories to bring back to his real job to scare his spoiled brat richie kids from the suburbs who went to some fancy computer school who work under his guidance straight who don't believe that there are jobs out there that actually suck to be at. I think we are the Detroit of the business world He has a black lung flareup every time he comes by.  Some more liberal hippie talk. I wonder how many foster care crack baby ghetto yout's they have adopted or how many college scholarships for disenfranchised ghetto youts they have sponsored as they drive back to their big house in the suburbs.  I stopped at the grocery store to hit up the bank in there to see if they had any half dollars or dollars and to pick up some beer. This one has always perplexed (word of the day  me when I got there which is maybe once every 3 weeks. When I stopped by early spring I saw this snow bank in the same spot and said to myself wowo that must be the last snowbank left. Then I wen there in July when it was 90 degrees out and there was that snowbank again Maybe this the Bermuda Triangle or some shit  . And today there it was again. A couple of months ago I finally figured out what was going on. The store was dumping the ice from their portable fruit and seafood displays out in the parking lot in the same place. See, I'm not crazy there is a logical explanation for everything  How bout some more freeway construction. It doesn't matter if you go North, south, East, West, or even stay off the freeway. This has been going on for 4 years now.  There used to be a Bluemound bridge there. Check out the Northsiders with their hoopty with the garbage bag over the back window. The got off at the Juve Hall exit so either they were going to visit one of their kids in jail or were going to county to visit on of their relatives caught in a driveby because there is nothing else in the area for them.   The old county grounds and the old loony bin buildings. They tore a few of them down over the last few years and if they are not on some historical registry I suspect these will be gone soon as well thanks the the new "development" that the redesigned freeway will bring.  Stopped by the library and found the local creeper. Everytime I have gone to the library in the last 8 years this guy has been there either in his car or his car in the parking lot and him inside. You can see all of his belonging (I hope that is what that is) above the window line in the front and back seats. Flashback recap: remember when I said I don't feel safe with their hippie no gun rules? The downtown library is worse.  Cooters Mama's house where at 40+ years old he lives in her basement. Also living in the house is his 30+ year old brother and at least 2 of his 30+ year old sisters along with their don't know who on the Northside knocked them up crumb snatcher hoodrat kids.  Balistreris Pizza. The Balistreri's are / were the local mafia family of Milwaukee. We have Balistreri's pizza ever December for our coin clubs Christmas party / meeting. So for $10 a year once a month you get get Numismatic knowledge, door prizes, free refreshments at intermission, free steak dinner once a year, and free pizza. Why wouldn't you come by and join us? 3 degrees.  Not sure what tomorrows travels will hold since IT IS SNOWING and they threw salt down That is the only plus to living in Milwaukee is that they actually plow the snow and salt. And look: some richie phuk from the suburbs got a parking ticket on his "I bought the cheapest ass Range Rover on the lot but I still front that I drive a Range Rover" who thought he could come down to Milwaukee and do whatever he wants because he is rich. I can't believe these richies are scared to drive down the alley. I guess that is what happens when they are the ones who are scared to go East of HWY 100  |

You pay for the beer and I'll send you the shirt. Win-Win for everyone involved  It's $12.99 for a 24 pk here, how much there? On top of that, they charge us $.10 per can/bottle hippy liberal assessment fee. A case of Hanoi beer is 200k, which seems horrible until you realize that it's a little over $9  there are no hippie fees on cans, but bottles have a refundable deposit because they sterilize and refill them. It's nice to grab a $0.50 beer from a little old lady on the corner as I walk around the City. |

I think the world traveler should either stay with Josh forever, or Josh needs a separate thread to keep the daily travelogue going.
