Almost The End Of Febuary BS Thread

How is everyone this month?

I am about ready to sell my kidneys so I can buy some food.

How much $$

I hear you William, these 3 and 4 days work weeks are getting old.

But I keep telling myself that I'm one of the lucky ones that still has a job.

I'm sorry to hear this guys. I have been very fortunate, as last year, I lost my job, but was able to find another one in a different field altogether. I make a third of what I did, but the reduced stress is well worth the paycut. I have been working 50 hours on average lately and I am saving every penny I can so I don't get in the same predicament I have been in for the last 4 years.....broke.
Having a positive attitude has helped me the most. I didn't have this attitude until I hit bottom and lost everything except my house, but was very close. It really gave me a new perspective on what my needs and desires were. Crashing my snowmobile @ 100 mph and flying 230 feet through the air helped too! I made it through that while unemployed and uninsured. I vowed I would become a better person and have a better attitude and appreciate every day that God gives me. Its been a long road, but I feel that I am on the rise back up and I understand what you are going through. Stay positive and make it happen. Don't wait for it to happen.

Mark, hows your shoulder doing?


I'm not really working at all. The college is dorking me around on my college money, so i have not had any money for fuel or food.
I have no cell phone right now to run my buisness either.

February is the start of everything coming together for us. Reserve military tricare health insurance kicks in (no $1000 per month health insurance bill) pension kicks in for reserves. Other things on the farm start up this year giving more cash for us. Things are starting to look up.....

I gathered that when we talked at Hooters. i don't want to get to carried away, but it needs something.

Need to get the truck running right first anyway. gonna order parts soon and take it to Chris' place. Still tryin to figure out stacks or not for the exhaust.

Remember, Tim is old school.
And while he uses products that I never thought to use, he's been doing it since the 70's.
or maybe the 40's. ahh who knows. hahaha. :P

AUTORAMA, WORLD OF WHEELS, CAVALCADE OF CUSTOMS - CHAMPIONSHIP AUTO SHOWS

If you like classic rides, hot rods, muscle, new rides, amazing pieces of work when it comes to automobiles. Go to this. Amazing fabrication work, pieces of art really. Also a section with rat rods, which is my favorite part. Friday Saturday Sunday. Well worth it IMO.
