Naked, sexy mechanics

Most of today's pics are from Torn Jeans, written by Rick, a sweet Toronto blogger who is also a tantric massage practitioner. 

I had the great pleasure of receiving a 90 minute tantric massage from Rick last May but didn't blog about it. I only wish that we lived closer so I could have them on a regular basis.

My daughter snapped this pic without my knowledge when I was doing a small repair to my son's truck.  My son was unable to do it himself because of his dislocated shoulder, which is healing very nicely, thank you.

There are two things to note:
A:  Yes, I am wearing Spider-man jammie bottoms with my T-shirt inside-out.  Had it been a self-pic, I would have done the repair with my bare ass sticking out.  Sorry guys! 
B:  Kneeling on the edge of the radiator was a hundred times more painful than it looked.

Today, much of our first day back at school consisted of a mind-numbing professional development workshop. Every time we turn around, it seems that the Ministry of Education is introducing yet another initiative based on the latest teaching theories, complete with a new set of educational buzzwords.

The problem is that we've barely had a chance to implement last year's "improvements" so they all become jumbled together. In fact, the new schemes are never much different than what we've been doing for our entire careers.  

After an hour of information overload, I had to focus on NOT listening to the speaker droning on. My mind was a-whirl with all the work I needed to do before meeting all my students tomorrow.

We would have much preferred spending the day preparing for our new classes.  I have three classes (no repeat preps) and 75 new students but I've taught each of the classes many times before.   At this stage of my career, I never do any school work during the summer so I will be very busy this week doing prep work.

  1. Only THREE previously prepared PREPS??? How lucky are you?!?!?!?

    And the droning crap. We get it, too. "Teach this", "teach that", "do it this way"..shit, I'm not in instruction (just IT) but I hear it all too much. So few REAL TEACHERS get to decide how to teach STUDENTS!!!! What is wrong with our (the collective "our") school systems????

    I think your son's truck would benefit from a wash! I can't find the pic that fits this!!! But I do wonder (having been in the exact same position over my own trucks) what you are fixing?!?!?!

    Good to hear your son's shoulder is healing. I've got a good friend (AFILTFBHM*) who helps me with my mechanical needs, and he dislocated his shoulder. Damn it, I had to do my own oil changes for several months! HAHAHAHA Personally, I think he was milking it. BE AWARE! HAHAHAHAHAHA But that's a fine picture, Buddy Bear! Very cool. And yes, kneeling on any engine parts are unpleasant, and at my decrepit age, I hate being on the creeper, too.

    I really enjoyed this post, Buddy Bear. Coolness.

    Peace <3

    1. Hi Jay, to add to my previous comment. I am replacing the oxygen sensor which is in between the firewall and the engine block.

      I teach the three classes from Sept to January and then a three semester II classes from February to June. But I have a couple of repeat preps and so only have four different courses to teach this year. I'm very lucky!

    2. I have to think back and yeah, my first truck (a Ford F150 with 36" Monster Mudder tires, a roll cage, tonneau cover, brush guards, and custom paint job with a mural on the cab ceiling - don't ask me what the deer did when you were {gulp} stoned - it would make your son drool) would always be muddied up. I'd pick up my mom at the boutique dress shop she managed. I'd get out, put a milk crate with a board bolted on it, and she'd step daintily up into my muddy truck and love every second of it!!!!

      What a great post! Thanks, Buddy Bear!!!!

    1. They don't have to be nekkid! Nothing is hotter than a fit mechanic bulging in jeans, working under his car so that he is only visible from the waist down.
