Were I work we have corp. groups that come. You would think a member of one of their board would know better.... I like a good prank as much as the next person but this one well it was trouble. A board member of a corporate ..... decided to go and party and have to much to drink. Not being able to find his car in the parking garage he decided to see if there were keys left in the companies fork lift we had out back. finding these he thought it would be a great idea to go bar hopping. Now I don't know about most people but calling the cops to tell them your fork lift has been lifted and no one witnessed this act in its self is entertaining. He finally ran out of time the bars shut down around 2am. he decided to bring the fork lift home. I guess he had a chuckle seeing our valet and decided to try and valet our own fork lift in our garage. Now im not sure if he had so much to drink or if he even remembered he had a stolen property at this point. Cops usually take that serious. We probably would have let it go except he decided to berate and publicly humiliate the valet up one side and down the other after he told him to valet the fork lift. Now the call back to the cops was comical at best.... dispatch we have found the fork lift.... on our property.... he brought it back.... no really he tried to valet it in the garage.... im not sure ask him.... no nothings looks broke.... no I don't know were he went....\ Pretty soon his corp group was down here along with his CEO.. they were all upset we called the cops over a stolen fork lift.... CEO was embarrassed and just want the whole issue to go away. Now we are still dealing with a drunk fork lift thief who still thinks we lost his car. truth is he walked by it several times at that point.In order to calm every one down we dropped the charges as long as he promised not to lift anymore vehicles..... What was he thinking????
The sad thing is not even a week later we had a different group in who rented a fork lift. That morning they came to the desk I could not believe my ears we had another stolen forklift on our hands. Dispatch thought we were joking they know my our voices by now. Conversation went... You lost another what... Do you know who might of taken it... Was there any wittiness to this theft. Did you ask the valet if they have had valet one today.... Chuckle....
We found out after about an hour the people the comp. rented it from came and picked it up earlier that day.....
I think im having a bad day when i miss-place my keys I can imagine calling my sister up hay sis I misplaced the tractor. no don't remember were i put it. did you see it on your way home...
I have a 5yr old mare who up until this yr spent her life in pasture with cows unbroke.I brought her home paid for 60days of training to get out buck. Put another 4mo of professional supervised reining lesson. Up until recent she has been pretty solid no scare or jumpyness but lately she just all of a sudden jumps strait up does 360 and takes off.After I sit myself down in the seat I think of options. I tried bending and giving until she settles. and Ive wrode out the run and made her continue at a friends suggest(maybe shes doing it to stop)my question is it possible im pushing her to much mentally with her training. If so do I stop were im at give her a rest or do I just press on with what were doing until her jumpyness leaves.
