Well to start things off, this morning at around 4:30 my wife had let her pup out back to do her business and when she went to let her back in my 125 pound Rottweiler decided he needed to come in too. So about 4:31 I get worke up by 125 pounds of dog in bed with me licking me in the face. Well I got up and put him back outside and started getting ready to go to work as uasal. Work was just work and the day wasn't particularly good or bad.
I got home this afternoon, changed and went to the shop and started cutting to cut some bar stock to rough size with the band saw and about 30 seconds into the process the blade jumped off the wheels and promptly broke. OK install new blade and about 30 seconds later the same thing happened again. Piece of S**T band saw.
About that time my wife comes to the shop and says my oldest son called and needed some help. He is remodeling a bedroom for my soon to arrive first Grandson, so I went to his house to help him. About an hour later my wife calls and said my brother had called and had truck trouble and needed me to come and help him. So I put up the stuff I was working with at my Son's house and drove the twenty miles to where my brother lives and helped him tow his truck back to his house. (Transmission went out)
Well we got it back to his house and I was going to leave to come home, and about the time I started to step off of the curb to get in my truck, some IDOIT came by about 35 miles an hour and nearly ran me over. :eek: He missed me, but didn't miss my truck.
Pow right into the rear of my truck and never touched the brakes.
Said he was talking to his wife and never saw the truck parked at the curb!!!!
After the Police, Ambulance (his wife hit her head on the dash, but wasn't seriously hurt) and wreckers left my wife came and got me and now I just got home, still haven't eaten anything and am not in the best of moods.
Hope your day was better than mine.
Tomorrow I get to go deal with the insurance companies, Oh what fun that will be.
Should have stayed home today and made knives.
Thanks for letting me vent, :mad:
