We need a "You know what sux?" thread....

[Jesus_man]

Sorry Shawn. It will all be worth it and you'll get thru. Once you land that good job, you'll be able to accumulate those "things" again.

Yeah buddy! I am looking forward to that and am anxious to get there. I honestly feel like I am almost to the point of living that dream I am going after. And this morning a muddy semi tossed a rock the size of an apple at my windshield. I didnt even have time to get away, he came flying onto the freeway and I was there when "WHAM!!!" Scared the crap out of me. Right in front of the driver too. 160 bucks for new glass tomorrow.

When it rains it pours, hopefully you'll see the end to this bad streak and get back to the sweet life.

Good luck.

[Shawns Fords]

Its all good Gunni! Like I always say, its all water under the bridge.

I hate working late nights and weekends. I can't get to any meetings to get to know anyone.

I could swear I think your coming down with an eye problem and can't see going to work Saturday. You might as well be eating breakfast with us if that's the case.

Ear ache, my eye !

[Lila76]

I get off at six in the morning and might be able to make it. Just no sleepy time before. It's very tempting though.

Cleaned the house a few months back. Prep for in-law visit. That shoebox over in the corner? You can throw that away. Nothing I need in there.

Except the title to my Bronco. And copies of the last threed titles. And my Marti report for the Bronco. And nearly every receipt for the Bronco for the last 18 years.

Oops

Zack - they have these really cool things for organizing things, including bronco receipts and stuff.

I can bring you a few if you need... Oh and you should get a fire-proof box for stuff like vehicle titles!

Sorry to hear about that.

LOL, Thanks J.D.!

Funny enough, this is actually the SECOND Bronco title I've had thrown away. Lost the title for the '66 before I'd even had the chance to have it changed over to my name. Luckily, this one was already titled to me so a replacement will not be that bad. The lack of all the receipts is really the punch in the junk. Was very cool to be able to go back and see where all the oil changes, belts, etc happened. I guess this is just more motivation to dive back in to the history of the truck back to the original owner.

Well its not a shitty day for me, but is for my Dad, he went to the VA Hospital this morning for a spinal fusion. I am heading down there in about 30 minutes to sit and wait. He wasn't as nervous until he got on the google and saw something post a 50% success rating.

Shawn, good luck to your dad today.

[Shawns Fords]

Thanks Greg, I told the surgeon I know where a reliable hammer with a block of wood is if he needs it. He was supposed to be out of surgery between 11:30 and 12:30 and the liaison spoke to the surgery room and they said everything was going well but it was going to be a few more hours. I think they are finding more than they saw on the MRI and decided to fuse more than one joint together. Ill go back down there in a couple of hours and check in again.

[Jesus_man]

Hope your Dad comes out good as new!

[Shawns Fords]

Thanks! He is in "MICU" now and will be there until tomorrow. His BP was still low tonight and they cant give him medication for the pain because of the low BP. When I left tonight it was coming up so they were slowly giving him minute amounts. He wont be 100% when he is out because of all of the scar tissue around the nerve endings. If anyone ever has back issues where they need to do surgeries like this, do not wait for a long time as it may cause some serious issues even crippling. Luckily he isnt at that point yet but could have been if he waited any longer.

Being a dumbass and crawling under a car without checking the jack is actually in a good location and not having a jack stand under there. I went to check a loose inner tie-rod end real quick so i laid down under the car, gave the tire a wiggle and down came the car. A few dislocated ribs and a fair amount of pain later I am feeling really stupid. Lesson learned! BTW it is really hard to yell for your wife when there is a car resting on your chest!

[Jesus_man]

Holy crap dude! I am glad you are ok. Sounds like you are lucky!!

[airbur]

Holy crap man! Glad you are ok!

A friend of mine lost a brother back in high school pinned under a car. Busted ribs hurt like hell, but at least you will be able to continue building great Broncos.
One word.....blocks.

Airbur.......hope their home survives and they can reclaim their spot. We had unexpected company last night too. A woman from my wife's work and her family of six, a dog and a cat.
Unless there is some kind of huge increase in moisture, this is going to be a long and dangerous fire season.

[Booger]

Crawler glad your still with us after that.
I agree with you Steve. If we don't get some moisture were in for long, long fire season. Of course a few yrs ago they said the same thing and we didn't have any fires. Rob and I would go up riding our dirt bikes and we were really worried about the frame or skid plate hitting a rock and causing a spark.

[Mitche11]

Super scary Crawler, glad you're okay. Airbur, hope the fire season is gentle on you and yours.

[airbur]

Thanks. So far their place has been spared.
