Unhappy Last 2 Weeks Have Been Hell

this is long but here's how it began. plowin snow in the storms with my cousins 350. was goin strong for 2 days straight. ended up slidin into a pole and totally mess up the front driver side of his sd. thats not the bad part. on day 2 of no sleep was drivin my rig and 4 wheel was making some hard pops and shaking the truck. then on top of that my brakes were stuck so needed new calipers. got the truck home and started tearin it apart. i said screw it so decided to do the Warn manual hub conversion. then got a call the night she broke down. my fiance's sis is in labor. WHAT A NIGHT TO HAVE YOUR TRUCK BREAK DOWN!!! so had to ride 300 miles to VA Beach in a little gay saturn ugh!. baby was fine so came back home. got the run around and took me 2 days to track down my hub kit. the first store gave me the wrong one. then all the others said they had it and they didnt. so i got the kit. my drivers side hub blew from hoppin while pullin out a tractor trailer. hopped once but hopped to hard. so then ordered calipers. i was told they would be in in 2 days. well now have a call saying the baby had yellow johndis and an infection. so had to go back to VA in the same stupid car. stayed for 3 days to make sure the baby was ok then came back. just got my brakes yesterday and now have the truck back on the road. suck hell for the last 2 weeks and im also moving to Wildwood, NJ this weekend. on the upside im an Uncle now. gotta get used to that Uncle John name in a couple years. lol
