My week has been hell to say the least.I recieved a call from my mom thursday and said that my dad has not been doing well and did not know if he was going to make it through the night.So as soon as the wife got back from school we loaded up and headed out to Kingman AZ at 8:00pm and arrived round 4:30am,but we arrived too late to say goodbye to him.He had been battling with Emphysema for the past few year's.He was strong willed and definetly not afraid of anything except of how he was going out....My mom assured me that he went peacefully with no suffering....
I'm going to miss the man for sure.He taught me well,took me place's in the desert's of nevada to the mountain's of the sierra's and everywhere else that very few have seen.
I'm know he's in a better place now and is happier than ever,until we meet again RIP DAD.....

We bought a tundra 3week's ago and last night going up through provo canyon I came around the curve right before the tunnel's,lost control on some black ice,over corrected and smashed into the middle guardrail doing about 3grand worth on damage to the front and yes I was going slow.
I limped it off the road where you can drive around the tunnel and inspected the damage.Nobody would stop for which seemed for ever until a cop happened to stop.He wrote me up a report while I borrowed his lug wrench,a wooden post from the guardrail,a small sledge in which I happened to have laying in the bed and an hour later I managed to get the bumper out of the tire So we could drive the rest of the way home....I swear nothing ever goes right for me and everything I do come's out wrong,I'm about to forget about the whole wheeling thing,sell the runner to fix the tundra since I'm broke and do something different with my life,instead of working a $hit job in a $hit town.
I dont know WTF to think anymore ,I know thing's need to change though.I'll quit bieng a whiner now I'M OUT!

Sorry to hear about your father.

Don't get too down on yourself though. Hold on to the things you enjoy, like wheeling. They help to keep your spirits up, give you something to look forward to, and provide great memories.

Sorry for your loss and about your accident. Kind of know what's it's like. My wife had a stroke 1 week ago and she's only 27. But she's recovering very well so far.

WOW, sorry to hear about your father, but some humor can come of the second part of the story...

Yes it sucks to bust up the Tundra, but its only a vehicle, atleast you dont have to explain to insurance and the neighbors on how your 89' XJ became parked in the backseat of your 00' Expedition :) Just make a claim with insurance and let them fix it. Paying the deductible is alot less than than paying for the repair outright. I used a comprehensive claim and it didnt raise my rate but 20$ a year.

Cheer up, as soon as we get a thaw and no more damn mud you'll be back on the trail and feeling better with friends.

at least you have a wife, someone to share your life with, spouse/family/friends are the only thing to get you through... it's good your wife just up and left with you....

sorry to hear about your dad, a few years ago i lost 4 close family/friends.... all within 3 months.... almost to the exact day, and the last 2 went together... keep your chin up...

Thank's everyone,it just suck's.My mom is really having a hard time.I call every other night to see how thing's are going.Make's me feel better that my aunt & uncle live there and so does my bro & sis helping her out,I wish I could do the same,but.........
What really bother's me is work wont pay me berevment pay,nobody other than my mom/relatives who live there in kingman has called to see how I'm doing,I guess I dont rate in anybody's frickin book:rolleyes:
As for the truck it's getting fixed,just waiting for the adjuster.My mother in law said she would pay the deductable until we can pay her back,she feel's pretty bad for our week.She is one hell of an in law,I'll tell ya that.

So today I learned one of the boss's (joe) at work ,his dad passed away on saturday(my condolence's to him and his family,he's a good guy).
Well right at lunch the plant manager call's over to our shop and talk's to our decal dude,he run's the slush fund as we call it for thing's like this,party's and such.Anyway's He get's off the phone and ask's "our" boss that he need's to go and pick up some flower's and a card for everyone to sign.....

Now this ain't right,I never got $h!t,but yet as soon as they find out that joe's father passed, it's rush out and do what you can for him....Granted he's been there 15+ year's and his father worked there back 20 year's ago,but still this is not right.I've been there 4yrs,busted my a$$ and from the beginning until now I've alway's felt like an outcast.I think it's cuz I dont wear a funny lookin hat,wrangler's,a funked up western shirt and a pair of $h!tkicker's,Oh Ya I forgot I drive a jacked Yota and not a powerstroke pullin a horse trailer with my wooly girlyfriend in the bed,BAAAA BAAAAAA Ya that's why...YEEEHAAAAAW:handlebars: :rofl:

The only reason I'm there still is because I'm there for the kid's everynight,get to see the ol lady everynight and I'm putting her through school so she can be a teacher.......Hang out and tough it out or look elsewhere??????If I go elsewhere It would have to pay high so she could be home with the kid's,but that would also mean I would be gone alot without seeing my family,Yup olfield.sound's fun does'nt it?

WTF,I sure would like to do some wheelin,fishin or something right about now:rofl:
