    One of those days where everything that can go wrong does, Murphy's law never fails Lol. Just got off the phone with my dad, he grabbed the trailer from Syracuse and hauled ### to the shipper only to find out that the product won't be ready til 6am AND doesn't deliver til Monday.

    40 miles from the house. "You can leave the trailer here if you want" "Nope it's coming home." We both had a good laugh anyways at the end of the convo. Start the next week off fresh Lol. Sunday or mon they're rescheduling rochester for

    Well, this reminds me of a story from today. One of my wife's clients works from home and his wife is a stay at home mom. They are a younger couple. During the day she pawns the kids off on him while he is working because she is too overwhelmed. Now mind you, this is her only job in life. Well, he caught the Wuhan this week. They only have one car so he told her to go out of town to her folks place until he was better. So she loaded up the kids in the morning and headed out. He gets a call that night saying she never showed up. So he calls around and nothing. Finally he uses the tracker on her phone. She has been stopping at bars along the way. So he has a sibling drive him to the last bar and takes the kids and he takes his drunk wife and the car. He drops her off at rehab. She explains how miserable she is because she is still young and has no life. Because she spends all her day on social media watching all her friends go out and do fun things while whe is stuck at home. This was all just today. I think this is becoming more common. I have seen it twice this year with folks I personally know. Because most women just sit online and compare themselves to their friends who seem like they are out in the world having fun. This is why I constantly teach my kids about what to look for and teach them about self worth. My kids are young too, my oldest is 10. However. I see how the girls try to treat my boys and they aren't having it....and it makes me laugh. Today on the phone with a broker, he tried to pressure my wife into taking a load. He tried to pull the old happy wife happy life thing with her and she put him in his place. She straight out told him that it doesn't work that way in our house and it takes two, to make a relationship work. She told him if she acted like that, I would be gone by morning....and she would be right. That princess crap ain't gonna fly with me and hopefully not my boys. Life is way too short for that crap!

    Dunno. The breather Is different and the one I saw had a headache rack. However, that doesn't mean a thing....things change.
    I would take either...lol. one day when I have more time, I will have a k100 project. I actually thought about selling my 379 and going back to a 359. I dunno...but it makes my wife laugh. She gets a kick out of it. She says I'm worse than a woman sometimes....lol.
