Kadizzle always admired the brave men who ride the garbage truck. In freezing winter sub zero temperature the brave bandoleers empty the trash. On the hottest summer days when the garbage hits it's best ripeness, the brave men ride the trucks and make the community safe. Today Kadizzle got tricked into being the swamper on the Forest Service Garbage truck. It started as a simple task of taking a package to the visitor center for Fed Ex to pick up. There Kadizzle ran into Roberto. Roberto asked Kadizzle if he would volunteer for a garbage run to Apache Lake. It seemed like an easy way to build up some hours and have a scenic ride in a garbage truck. Well it did not quite work out that way. It turned out someone had already picked up the dumpsters at the other lake. So off Kadizzle went in his new job as a swamper to empty 20 dumpsters at Lake Roosevelt.
Luckily the garbage was not very ripe because of the fairly cool weather, but some simple dinger emptied his engine oil in one of the dumpsters and we ended up leaking oil at each stop that had to be cleaned up. The swamper is the guy who backs up the truck and hooks up the dumpsters. Roberto tried to teach Kadizzle how to operate the hydraulic crushing controls, but Kadizzle played stupid to remain unqualified for a full time swamper job. With a bit of a new aroma Kadizzle now has a great respect for the brave men that make our country safe from garbage.
