THINGS ARE LOOKING UP (A LITTLE)

Well, I have a guy coming to buy the wrecked Ford today. That will be some money in the fund for the new ride. I have found a nice truck that a lady wants to sell at a good price. The "POS" other car will be ready tomorrow hopefully. So hopefully by next week we will be a two car family again instead of being a no car family.

We are throwing our annual craw fish boil this Saturday. I can't wait. I am ready to cut loose a little bit. I did get my '94 Jeep Wrangler repaired this weekend also. Just got to get it tagged and legal now. Hopefully I will be able to sell it pretty quick. We sure could use the money. If anybody is interested let me know. I will make one hell of a deal on it.

The kids are doing fine, but they are ready for school to get out. Especially the Drama Queen. She graduates this year. Man is she in for a rude awakening. Hello real world. I don't think she knows what is about to happen. She has big dreams, and I hope they all come true, but both sets of her parents are struggling with money right now so who knows. She is probably going to be going to Junior College like the rest of us.

Nothing else really going on right now.

BE COOL.

CAN'T CATCH A BREAK

Well we paid off the F150 last month, and with the wise thinking of budgeting we dropped the insurance to liability only. STUPID!! My oldest step-daughter totalled the truck Friday night trying to miss a dog in the road. She ended up hitting a telephone pole. First, I am grateful that nobody got seriously injured. Like I told her, we can buy another truck, but we can't buy another you. The only thing that sucks about it is we are not in the best financial status of our life right now. I paid the truck off so we could get back on our feet. I have found a buyer for the truck as is. We are just going to start over, and try again. The thing that really sucks about the whole situation is that our other POS is in the shop getting the damn transmission rebuilt, and its no where near ready. So I am scrounging and trying to get my other Jeep Wrangler running so I can sell it, and between the truck and it I should be able to buy the wife something decent to drive for right now to carry the kids in. So if anybody has a car or truck to sell for cheap let me know.

That's about it right now.

Yell at you later.

BE COOL.

What it takes.

A friend of ours passed away on 4-3-08. I knew him from hanging out with everybody else. He and I didn't hang out together, but we did have a few discussions about life and things over beers on occasion. If you want the details on his death, and arrangements go to Shumpy's Site. These things make you take a step back, and ponder about your life. He was definitely too young to have passed on. The Mope will be remembered as a good man. This just goes to show you that you need to cherish everyday, and the loved ones around you.

We all got together last night at the B. It was good to see the gang, but I wish it would have been on other terms. We will all be getting together for the craw fish boil on the 19Th. I can't wait. It will be the first cookout of the year for me. I am ready to cut loose a little bit. If you are interested in going. Contact Shump or myself, and we will give you the details if you didn't already get the evite.

I am putting in a motor for my BIL truck this weekend. I have been stuck in an office for too long. I forgot how much I love fixing stuff with my hands. The old mechanic in me started coming back. I will have plenty of opportunities to get my hands dirty in the near future. We are driving all old stuff right now. We are trying to save some money to get us another place. The good news of that is that we don't have a truck, or car payment right now.

Nothing else going on. I will chat with y'all later.

RIP Rich.
