Guys
im back.
Sorry for the sebatical.....
I was laid off at my custom shop.................... My painter and I both....
After we found out they were ripping off companies, and dealing with fraud, and double ticketing us.. We called them out.... Laid off 3 weeks later
I found a job 3 days later, I do collision repair on Semi trucks, and I kill it like no other.
Painter will be joining the team as well soon..
after I found a job, my landlord came to me and told me I had till June...... Went really depressed, and started drinking super heavy again......
Im proud to say though, May 11th I close on a house almost triple this size Im in now, and with a garage!
My Ford and Dodge havent been touched in about 2 months because of all this that has gone down.... Buying a house is way worse than having a gun to my head though I must say... But im glad its almost over, even though the money is just flying out the damn door.
My other truck got nailed with hail too, god dawg it doesnt stop. But the green grass is starting to show through.
im back.

My Landlord, painter and I are also going to be doing hail repair and collision work on the side. Good thing with my new job is that there is no conflict running my own side ****. No bad blood between my landlord and I, his reasons are legit and related to family, the timing just super sucked for me.

about 3 months ago, I did do some patch work, took the Ford down to bare frame, theres me making a patch for the fuel filler hole. I also broke my toe right before I took the cab and bed off the frame with my dad. Oh well. I actually went to the interview with my new job limping haha. big toe got screwed by the gas tank. But the Ford did make some progress this year. Having the house will speed things up drastically.

Glad to hear that things are turning around for you Jacob.
On Saturday the riding mower ate another blade pulley so I ordered a new shaft and pulley and the leaf blower has something wrong with a fuel line. It was not a good day for yard cleaning.
On Sunday I got the suitcases out, charged the batteries for the camcorder and we started getting stuff together for the cruise.
This is the craziest weather.

Must be riding lawn mower belt week. I got to get a new belt for mine, I guess it stretched will not engage.
You May want to pack a power strip. There are not many outlets. A hair dryer will get you a trip to the " naughty room" or they will keep it to the end. I think power strips are ok

I already have a power strip!! No one really uses a hair dryer so that's not an issue for us. Seems a little weird packing shorts and tropical shirts when it's cold and rainy outside.
I gave up on cleaning the yard Saturday and we went to town. We got some stuff for the trip and I got a hair cut. We also went to our favorite hot wing place in town and got a bite to eat. Figured it would be a waste of time with the storms coming thru.
Told the wife we were going camping this time next year at Disney, she thinks I need professional help with my Disney addiction. I want to camp at Disney but I want to go to Discovery Cove and Volcano Bay.May throw in a day or two at Disney.

My ice bucket for the motorhome ice maker should arrive today! Tomorrow is the new spindle and pulley for the mower and a vehicle dash iPad holder. I got it so I can use my iPad as a GPS. The 11 inch screen is a ton better than the little 7 inch screen I have on my Garmin. I can use it in the Hummer and the motorhome.
