    Some of you may remember me ranting about Age Discrimination a few weeks ago.....well looks like I'm going back to work in the Security Business again part time. This company called CPS (Commercial Protective Services) in Dallas Texas services mostly Non- Commisioned (not armed) post, but has just received a new contract for a Commisioned (Armed) post which is an Apt Complex close to my house. The last Security Company I worked for had no benifits, and made ya shave, so basically everyone looked like Adolf Hitler. The new company has no armed Officers so they are scampering to hire some. Looks like I will work tomorrow night from 7P - 7A. At lease this company has benifits....401K, health, direct deposit, and free uniforms,.......and I don't have to shave,,,,,hell yea.
    So starting tomorrow night the Night Dragon will be on the hunt at a new Apt. complex.

    Night Dragon

    Fantastic news! Sounds like a job you both deserve and are well equipped to handle. Good for you!

    Today is my day off.....so I think I will leather up, hop on the dragon, and go over to the Apt complex and tell all the drug dealers to get the Fu$K out. This is my dealing grounds. With a mask on they won't have a clue who I am.
    Live by the sword....die by the sword.......just trying to make a difference with the decent folks that live there.

    Looking good the Dragon... While I'm not subject to age decrimination I will say I've gotten the same treatment when trying to pick up a second job over the holiday season. I think the store manager thought I was after his job.... I just wanted the discount and little extra cash...

    Glad to hear you settled into something that fits you. Remember if you draw first and shoot first your odds go way up.

    Hey Night Dragon, I'm kind off in a same boat like you. Lost my job after working for a company for many year, The economy sucks right know. After applying many jobs and few interviews, No respond @ all body. Then went to a local car dealer to downgrade my car.Talk to the owner and ask him why he don't sale a few previously owned motorcycles he can buy at the auction. He said, can you sell them for me?
    I said lets try? We go half and half in the profit.? He said sure.. That was three month a go. So far we have sold over 20 bikes, I made $250.00 avg. profit per bike. Is just an IDEA and don't know if this will help, for know, it works for me.... (45)
    And please, don't need to apologize for nothing, you had a situation, you vent we give you feedback as a family end of story. Good luck my friend, I hope you find what you lookinf for. Be Bless and Be safe..... JR

    It is an unfair world. The younger are hired period. I think you should just ride. If you have enough retirement money, why not volunteer to be a road guide? Take folks out on their Harleys to someplace interesting. A day trip, a week trip. And if you don't charge them, you don't have liability for them.

    Not a bad idea. I remember on a cruise, one of the shore excursions was to ride a harley across the island (carribean) to a clothing optional beach. Hang out for a couple of hours and come back to the ship. It was like $340 per driver, $60 rider.

    I could be a guide on that excursion! Sounds ideal to me.

    Made my first drug bust last night on the 7PM - 7AM shift. As anyone would when you first are assigned to a post you make a few friends to find out where all the drug activity is going down. So I did just that, and last night as I was paying a visit to one of my snitch's they were filling me in on a drug dealer accross the parking lot. As I look out the window to see what Apt he was pointing to a drug deal was going down at that moment, just like on Cop's. So I wait for the exchange of money for product and out the back door I go. I confront the male approx 22 years old and ask him if he lived in this complex. He said no, so I figure...let's just cut to the chase...I ask him what he had just bought in the apt a few minutes ago, and as I would expect he pulled the Vinny Barbareno gig on me...What?, Where?, When. So I told him I saw the deal go down from the shadows of the building accross the parking lot. I ask him if it was weed, crank, or coke. He told me he had a dime bag of weed (ok not a major bust but what the heck) I throught he had it in his hand, and when he went for his pocket I went for my trusty Colt 45 combat Elite. I told him the only thing that had better come out of his pocket was the weed. He tosses it to me and I tell him he has two choice's here. (1. He could leave the weed with me and hit the road, or (2. I would call PD and he could give it to them. Didn't take him long to decide I looked like the best person to take that possession of his goodies.
    Now I'm way ahead of all you smokers........."What did I do with the pot"???????
    I've always heard in show business.....always leave them wanting more.....?????????

    PS I have been toying with the idea of cards sort of like the Viet Nam Death Cards........kind of like "Your Drugs have been taken by the Night Dragon"!!

    Next time make them strip down to their unders and shoes, then tell them to get the f-out and don't come back. they will never come back cause if there still at home with mom and dad they are going to explain the lack of cover, and if on their own the embarrassment will be unacceptable. oh yea make them run like the dogs that they are!!!!!!!!!!! Run bitch!!!!!!!
