Your roach coach was my chicken wagon.
While working a construction job site, a covered truck would pull up at break and lunch.
This type of truck had HOT prepared foods and bagged snacks as well as candies crackers and lots of other palatable items on board.
The food truck previously referred to shows up onsite to prepare food onsite.
Fond memories of the chicken wagon. We have some good Cuban experience when working Miami.
My wife ran a food truck for a few years. It was a satellite for our Seafood restaurant.
She worked festivals all over the Blue Ridge.
Competent staff was difficult to find and one of the family staff was delinquent more than present.
Food service business is not easy from any point of view. Wait, Cook, Manage, Bar staff all require diligent attention in the food business.
It is not easy to close up shop after a 10 year run.

My favorite food truck, Gilley's. Only been there once sober, in daylight. Hot dogs and brownies are suprisingly good even sober.
Usually, it fills up after all the bars close and you get to watch all the drunks argue, full moon is the best time to go.
Started in 1912 as the Night Lunch, pulled by horses, dropped off in the evening, picked up in the morning.

Damn my sleep is out of kilter....Waking up wayyyy to early!
Weather is all over. Gonna be 80 today, but then only 50 tomorrow with a chance of frost....Then Thursday I am putting plants out. My tomatoes are loaded with buds and marigolds are in full flower.
Taking it easy....Dr. told me NO work. Maybe a walk at the park.

The Shwa lol. You probably got PTSD from that... what is the saying? I spent 30 years in Oshawa one night. I've been downtown the entire time I've been here. Lived in Regent Park for a while. That was pretty scary, lots of crime and violence. Now I'm close to hospital row, much nicer except fo the constant sirens.

I had a good one last night. Laying on the sofa watching TV around 6-7 pm, when out of the corner of my eye I see a mouse run across the living room into the kitchen. Very unusual this time of year, but we were gone a week.
Immediately set 2 snap traps in kitchen....I am cooking dinner when I see him come out from under the stove and nibble at the peanut butter....then snap. Got em!! Now I thought these were the most humane traps, but it did not die instantly, but squirmed for several minutes....Then ultimately he became dinner for my fox.
OK, off to the pharmacy!

I've found just a leg in one before. Guess it chewed it off.
Rat jigsaw wanted to play a game' maybe?
We lived in Key West in the 80's & an authentic Cubano from a reputable truck is simply the best.Your roach coach was my chicken wagon.

Not to mention Cuban coffee - that stuff will make your hair itch!

That sucks. I bought beefier traps for that reason.

I guess it depends where the trap hits them....This one was right on the neck and he tried to wriggle out for a good minute.
I actually bought some big rat traps for the garage squirrels, but I haven't had the heart to kill them....Yet. They are a result of feeding the birds....I never had squirrels around here until I started feeding birds, and now there are a bunch of red and gray ones. They need to go before they decide to move into MY attic.
They included an extra with my prescriptions today...a 2 pack of naloxone spray. Apparently it's the law now since I'm prescribed xanax and opiates....a possibly deadly combo. I was popping both like candy the past 2 weeks from all the pain...Now to wean back down.

Sounds about right. Using that above mathematical logic, I have spent a total of 5,460 years in The Shwa residing in the shadows of the GM Paint plant at Kenneth & Bond St. I believe that building was taken down a few years after I left.
Regent Park - what a lovely part of town. So glad you made it out in one piece.
I drove for Beck Taxi for a little over 1 year in the late 70's ( those green and orange colour schemed cabs ... ) and would have to pick up fares from places in that area and usually around 10:00 AM. Places in Regent Park, the Oak Street apartments, Moss Park Apartments, Blevins Place ... all of those wonderfully kept dwellings between Parliament St. east to River St. from Gerrard St. down to Queen St.
That's not far from my previous place of employment on the 12th floor of Simcoe Place. And there were plenty of sirens during the day.
So - is there a constant traffic hum from University Ave or are you far enough from that din that it doesn't bother you?
I usually carry one on me. If you saw the inside of my purse you'd think I was prepping to be a contestant on Let's Make a Deal. They are handy if someone goes down nearby, a spray of naloxone and a squirt of glucose gel often fixes everything.
LOL this song immediately come to mind
