    I've been on this journey of trucking for a while... But I've been pushing things back for months now... My mom needed help and then my kitchen caught on fire and I had some water damage... I put my two week notice in July hoping to start class this month. This morning while working out a 60 pound dumbbell fell on my foot... Fracturing three of my toes... I think I'm cursed smh

    The problem with the guys who work out is they never do any actual work. "I threw my back out last night doing squats so now I can't help you put a clutch in."

    Fly, as long as it's not your clutch foot, and you have cruise control, you should be okay~

    Must've carried a black cat under a ladder. Might as well go buy powerball now, nowhere to go but up.

    Well I've got the same luck. I have to help out at a customers place every once and a while, last week was one of them days. They have two of us stamping casting weights, I hit my left hand three times on my knuckles but it was my right thumb that got it four times and today I found out it is fractured. Don't ask why I kept hitting them, it just happened.
