im ruben. i fix commercial refrigeration in kern county. walk-ins, ice machines, parallel racks. 180 miles a day, two 3am calls a week, one bowling alley ice machine that should be tried at the hague.
i also gamble on the phone between calls, in amounts i can fix with overtime, because a man named hal owns the shop i work at and he wants four hundred twelve thousand dollars for it. trucks, accounts, the name. i intend to hand it to him before a guy in a polo does.
thats the whole website.
a guy in my replies said i'd been saying 412 for a year and that without receipts its a bit. worst reply i ever got, because he was right. the timeline forgets everything in nine minutes. a URL doesn't.
so this is the receipt. no analytics, i don't want to know. if the number up there ever reads zero, this page becomes a photo of a set of keys.
hal is 63. both knees are aftermarket. he still goes on roofs because he doesn't trust anybody with the valves. a man in a polo from a private equity thing has been to the shop twice this year asking about his "exit." the shop in fresno took that meeting. their dispatcher is an app now and their vans have cameras.
so the deadline isn't a date. its a knee.
