When that day comes then these things will be important to a point but for now It dont mean squat to you. Ther brake lights could just be the brake light switch moved or a ground came loose

Hugh is right, you feel bad and still have the same problems.

We seem to have the same problem at work. For weeks it will go good and then we have a few reworks. I learned to just do the best that I can and it is what it is. By Friday I feel like I have been beaten up so they are getting their moneys worth out of me. A buddy jokes at me that they will fire me over this or that. I tell him I'm not worried about it and they would be doing both of us a favor if they did. Plus they can't trick enough people to work there to take my place if they did.

I know. Luckily I nipped that **** in the *** last night. The alcohol did not consume me last night. I did get ****ed up, but I had help from the herb. Nicotine free for 3 weeks so far. Alcohol consumption is being dropped this week, and then next week I should be on the 1 day a week deal.

It was flooding when I left the house this morning. Wet here at work but no rain. We lost power for over 5 hours yesterday afternoon and my wife was squawking like an old wet hen the whole time, I just stayed in the pool longer.

Things are turning up. This was one of the cars that ****ed us Saturday. I finally delivered it to MY customers house. People I used to live with, I got them in the shop, and I couldnt deliver saturday as we had to turn around while he was following his own car!. Today, she went home without a hitch, and allowed me to have some good fun, that thing got some ***** dude. Not normal *****.



And my Dakota, one I rebuilt the engine and keep getting pulled over in, is now TEXAS state LEGAL!!! Since this happened for the second time shes lurked around town. I swear to god, once it leaves the garage, everyone is out to get me

The new Corvettes are super bad but those older ones have a special place in my heart.
