ever have one of those weekends that just kept letting you down. Fri and Sat were pretty much that way. Set the motor in my brothers toyota 4runner friday and run into numerous issues. After messing with that for 6 hours I decide to call it quits and head up to the house only to find a letter in the mailbox from my attorney in Vermont telling me im still six months from closing my grandfathers estate. Was suppose to close june 1st. For those of you that remember i am in the middle of selling my dart to make way for a 38 or 39 dodge truck that he purchased new(were not certain on exact year), and find out i am still six months away from being able to pick it up. Get to pay another years property taxes on property i cant do anything with. A 100 acre apple orchard/farm along with a 10 acre lot ON Lake Champlain that i havent seen since i was 10 or 11. That ended fri night, sat woke up and headed back to finish my brothers truck. only took twelve hours to finish buttoning the motor up and getting everything back in place and ready to start. Start it up idle speed is a little high but ill fix that after it warms up. truck warms up and starts running rough Frustrated

. i decide to leave it alone and mess with it the next day. Take a shower and try to go out for a couple hours go to a local rib joint order a beer and who is sitting on the other side of the bar but my ex-fiance. What really amazed me is she hates ribs, wont eat any meat but is sitting in a ribjoint. Talk about a kick in the teeth, she looks fantastic, apparently she realized how bad she was letting herself go before and turned herself around needless to say i commenced to killing a few drafts followed by some liqour shots. what a weekend. was kind of glad i had to work today

sorry for the rant Gangster

Wow, your weekend sucked. Mine started out a little funky. Check this out: I was picking up my 2 1/2 year old son from my wife's cousin who watches him. While picking him up, my wife calls me and says she ran out of gas. I drive to where she is and she's sitting there with the lights on. I said turn the car off. I poured 2 gallons of gas in the car, tell her to start it up and guess what? CLICK!! The battery is stone dead. I asked what she had on. "The air conditioner, it was hot". I asked, didn't you notice it wasn't cold? It can't work with the car off. She said No one ever told me. We left the car, went ten miles home to get jumper cables only not to find my good set (or any set). I borrowed a jumper from my friend and went back to get the car. All in all, it wasn't too bad. I was only an hour and a half late for my card game.
Sucks about your ex fiance. Don't let her get to you, though. They love that crap.

Yeah no doubt dude. Don't let the skirt get you down. You are in SC!! Plenty of good looking broads down there:) Let her be pissed 'cause she lost YOU! Yea baby!!!

C

yep, if she's a vegant, what she doing in there, maybe looking for you to piss ya off, or was she there to run into you to get it started again? think about it

your right about SC college just got out to. All the College girls are running around with daddys credit card Grin

Well, mine has been a somewhat crappy 3 weeks. At least I'm back in the states for the last few weeks, but when I arrive the wife is so sick she has to have someone else pick me up at the Chas. Airport. I end up having to check her into the hospital two days later where she spends almost a week there and has her gall bladder removed. After I get her out of there I decide to have the truck's A/C looked at since it only worked for one day when I got back. Mind you, I spent a lot of time and money fixing it before I left for Turkey. They tell me the compressor is locked up and believe it failed internally and put metal shavings in the entire system so I need to have the system flushed before I change the compressor. So I decide to leave it for when I come back in 9 months and take the old lady up north to visit friends and family using her Jeep instead. Wouldn't you know it, this is the first time I didn't take the truck and also the first time that diesel was cheaper; in fact $.50 to $.75 cheaper per gallon everywhere I stopped. We were invited up to the lake for this past Sunday so I decided to pull the pontoon out Saturday and get it ready. While trying to line the truck up on the pontoon, I pulled forward and ran into the fire hydrant in the front yard. I messed up the front bumper and the bottom bumper cover. Then while I was sitting there with the truck running I notice something smelling really hot. Now it turns out that with the compressor locked up that the compressor clutch must be dragging and smoke is coming from the compressor. No big deal, I'll get my non-A/C belt out of the garage and put it on. Nope can't find it because the garage is such a mess. I decided not to go since last time it was such a hassle to find someone that carried a non-A/C belt.

At least I got to spend 3 weeks with the old lady; even if the first week was sleeping in a chair next to her hospital bed.

sounds like it was a rough one for you to man. Glad to hear you wife is doing better. did something similar moving a boat a couple of weeks ago but managed to get a tree. learned i shoulda been watching that one
