Been a crappy last 4 weeks... least its been in cycles...
« on: May 06, 2014, 09:53:49 pm »
oh lord the last four weeks guys...

In one week...
My mower broke, took new belts n blades n tires...  my dads mower broke, had to rebuild the transaxle, rebuild front end.  then while I had two mowers apart in the garage, my granddads wheelchair took a dump.  cost me n mom (we halfed it) $2000 to get it fixed again.   my impala got a huge flat...  by huge I mean something 6 inches long stabbed my tire to death...    tractor battery failed, got a new one, then it showed dash lights but didn't make a sound...  no click or whirr.    then my moms car got a bad tps which meant a new TB just to get the tps...  didn't match up so REWIRING!  :)   Then my Lincoln floor jack from 1970 gave up the ghost.   had to rebuild it.  got it working today.  needed it to move the tractor to the driveway...   well tractor started right up, got over to the house...  then pto safety switch went bad, bought a new one today...  then NH wiring problems showed themselves and im plenty screwed right at thisa moment on that one...  eh.  then broke the whole dash trying to check the fuses...  then my rad in the 78 popped a crack, my dad came home yesterday saying his brakes quit on him...  dang man...  this is getting depressing...  real quick...  then yesterday mowing the grass broke the deck drive belt...  Was supposed to go see my best friend last week...  ended up not being able to go...  he told me it sounded real convenient...  I told him whatever shoot I told ya about is broke...   God this is depressing...  its like the three weeks with my 77 c10 and the mustang...  mustang had been sitting for 4+ years...  I had my c10.  burnt a valve in the c10, drove the mustang to work, came home bought parts for the c10 and mustang parts at the same time...  I slept like 2 hrs a night for two weeks straight...  fixing the car I had so I could get parts for the truck I didn't...  so I fixed two cars daily for two or three weeks so I could goto work...  yeah that's why I ended up selling my c10 for my one year old ford focus...  I just couldn't do it anymore...  tho for a year afterwords, I felt like Id left a good dog behind to the killers, when I traded my c10.

This is almost catching up to that.  cept my c20 is never gonna be sold...  id let my house go first...  literally.

lol he’s just venting. this past couple weeks has been bad for me also.
wife forgot to pay car insurance not a big deal but we been with state farm for 6 years or so and my wife’s mom and dad been with them for 25+ years now the one lady real good but her mom died and another lady took over for a week or so. well are due date is the 28th and on the 12th she emailed me (I don’t check those mails much rather talk to someone. but the email said our due sate was the 18th so according to her we're a month behind so on the 18 she canceled it and sent MVA a letter then sent us a letter in the snail mail saying it was canceled. my wife calls them up and the regular lady is back and after we get caught back up she says "there’s nothing we can do now but since they sent a letter to mva we will have a penalty for each car and at $150 a pop, my addition has caught up to us 04 impala, 94 c10, 84 k30 79 k20 = $600 in fines because the one lady didn’t call us and had our due date screwed up.

then my welding buddy had a job on the beach replacing a couple flights of stairs (4). I told him it’s not a two or 3 man job it’s more like a 4-5. he says he doesn’t want to hire anyone because it will cut into his money. so I told him im not working on it with only 3 guys someone will get hurt. (couldn’t use no lifting tools cause of the work space) then he calls me up wanting my help again I say no, he gets a little ticked with me and doesn’t talk to me till my 30th birthday (may 4th) and may 5th is his. so we kind of broke tradition with doing something on our birthdays but oh well.

then with all this going on my landlord tells me I have till the end of May to move out cause she need to move in cause she got kicked out of where she was living (with family)

then all the stress with work (inmates) it all just piles up. house is a mess
wife also forgot to renew her license so idk if there with be another fine with that or not.
then my welding buddy I also gave him 4.5k for a saw, and then we just did a big welding job on frames we agreed to split the money ($200 a pop so $100 I would get) and now he’s saying 50 bucks is what he’s thinking about paying me. I went with him to negotiations with him pissed off our old boss because I was kind of a turd and wouldn’t give in like my buddy does. we started at 400 a piece which is high but figured it would give us some room. buddy starts out at 300 the boss says 200 and then they start throwing other jobs onto him at the same time to screw with his head. but I kept my mind on the frame job and I kept bringing it back up trying to get more money the boss says 200 and he will supply a welder, wire and gas. but we did plan on buying another welder ($4k) for this job. but he said I can’t go to anymore negotiations with him because I almost cost us the job. my response was if you get all the jobs that means your bidding too low.
we have another baby on the way :) which is cool but it adds more to the stress of finding a place with little notice.
the imp need new struts, the 84 k30 with the cummins im still trying to find parts for the trans. moms van needs shocks, my little boy listens like his mother does.

stopped working for my buddy told him I would much rather be a friend than work for him because it’s only going to cause problems. The money is nice but I like friends more.
On top of all this I need to requalify with weapons for work before then end of this week but there’s too much going on right now, at the same time this will relieve some stress shooting guns.

And I thought I was just me having a few crummy weeks...  I guess mine isn't so bad after all.
