Ya ever had one of those days??? Today started out grand.....the new secretary shows up (impressed you havent phoned yet Gypo or Doug) looks great as usual...and goes about her work....then I get a phone call...a buddy of mine...(deer cop or conservation officer as some call him)....he is having some septic issues...and has a family reunion starting this afternoon...so, my driver..(as that is our other business)..has to work till 1:30 cant be there...I decide that he and I will do this.....bad idea!! First of all we get there and we pump out the tank....not the problem...then we realize my truck has a bit of a leaking issue...not a good thing when we drive through town...so...I decide we will leave the vacuum pump running while we go to the dump site...but its noisy...oh well...halfway there, we just about get killed by a semi truck...and trying to avoid them, we almost in turn kill others....great fun already...finally get to the dump site...up this "goat trail" of a road....and go to stop and gues wha? no brakes!!!..none...zero...so we drove through a fence..no big deal..little fence....but...had this occured 5 minutes prior, or later...we would have been in for a ride...about a 1000 feet...we got seriously lucky...anyway...I liimped the truck back to my dads...who only lives 2 miles away...in first gear and the e-brake....got home...now my hotwater tank isnt working and neither is my toilet....grrr....two completely unrelated problems at once.....and finally i got to do some work on my house...putting up the last of the siding....and realize half way through.....it is a different size than the rest....grrrr...my auger didnt show up...I was ready to say "to hell with it"....I dont know what I did to piss off who...but man....
I considered firing up my 272 to make me feel better...but then thought about that again...not touching anything else today...
