the way Toledo works is assanine

why can't thing just be simple?

answer: because simple does not make a dying city any revinue.

what the hell lets take the week off!

last night sucked, all I did was toss and turned and I just could not get my mind off of this accident bullshit..... I HAVE to have the truck towed home tomorrow otherwse after a week they scrap it.... nice... BUT on the plus side I found a F350 that was taken to a local scrap yard same year as that one and it has a rust free front clip and a 7.3 diesel engine........ $1000 buys the truck(well I already put a deposit on it....shhh ) and it has every part needed to repair the maroon one so once my insurance gets done examining it I am going to tear the front clip off and do the engine swap and then most likely have the guys at New Direction Auto Works do ther magic and install the front clip and repaint the front and cab Gloss Black to match the 10' flatbed that is going to go on the back instead of fixing the farkd up bed... at this point I just want my damn truck fixed so I can get on with life and get back to making money.

it just amazes me at the way today went from pure awesome to shit in 50'

well I will start off with the positive side of things.... someone called on my ad I have for the hauling of appliances and scrap metal and said that their church had a verry large commercial freezer unit that they wanted hauled away... no problem.... me and Jeremy go and look the unit over and while wandering the halls we hear the musicians practicing in the sancturary so I go in and have a seat and listen to the 3 girls playing flutes.... I absolutely love the sound of music on a flute so I killed 5 minutes or so listening.... anyways we get this 1800# unit loaded in the back of my F-350 and get all the parts and stuff loaded aswell and the church cordnator lady comes and thanks us and ofcourse doe's the invite to the church so we exchange cards (they are looking for a landscaper/plower) and as we are getting ready to head out I had the lady a nice donation for the metal( all stainless @ $1.50 a pound)..... now to the gritty... after stopping and saying hi to a friend I take Jeremy home and on the way back while I was coming up on byrne ave I am watchig cars turn infront of me but it was 150-200 yards ahead so no big deal...... well I had a green light and then this little car darts infront of me with a red F-150 behind him, I miss the car but unfortunantly I take out the F-150 at about 50 mph.... even though I saw what was happening and tried to avoid it there was just no way to not hit someone, to the right was a car with people in it and to the left was another car full of people and stopped dead ahead of me was the red pickup so my 10,834# truck tore the hell out of that truck spinning him into a 2005 dodge caravan... if anyone has taken physics they know that a moving mass of 10,000# hitting a moveable mass of 4000# does not necessisarly mean that the 10,000# object looses all of it's momentum therefore my truck decided to sacrifice the rest of it's front clip on a telephone pole because the steering linkage broke... or the clifnotes version is me and mapledog went for a cedar point ride, now I have no truck, I am going to get a nice check sans state farm, and I am going to be sore as hell tomorrow.

nite
~Nate

everybody wants something

well this evening I wanted something, a helping hand to change a flat on my dually.... ofcourse nobody wanted to come and help me pop the bead so I could change the tire... guess it will just sit on the jack til morning when I can take it to walmart and have it changed... sence it is 2am I doubt I will get up early so Jeremy will just have to wait til it is done before I haul the damn fence panels. tough shit, if giving me a hand is not on his list of priorities then helping him is not on mine.... afterall I cant haul fence panels with my truck sitting on jackstands now can I?

nite cruel world!!

hmmmm,.... earth to Frank! where is my truck!?!?!

I just looked at the date and realized that it has been about a month now that a buddy of Mine Frank has had my dump truck..... ofcourse rent free..... I was supposed to either get the money for it or get it back by this weekend. hopefully he brings me the money because if he does then I will have a little more money twards a new to me cabover Isuzu



20MPG, Diesel and has a max GVWR of 14,500 pounds so it can be plated as a private vehicle so it can be legally parked at the house and nobody can do a damn thing about it.... f@%king inconsiderate neighbors always have to pry ito my business and try and make my life misreable, they made me get rid of my favorite truck because it was a 1.5 ton capacity..... after putting a few hundred miles on one of these I am in love with them and they will run on homemade Biodiesel..... currently I am spending around $150 a week on gas alone so being able to get my fuel for about $25 a week is another plus....

welp I am off to bed, I have to be up early so I can go and buy steel to finish a trailer I am building for a friend

where is the dagger? OUCH.... not my back!!!

hmm, it is amazing how some people can point out the way someone is useing you and yet do the same thing while your focus is on the other people. it is sick, downright sick that someone can be that minipulative and yet blame it on other problems that they have.... they will be all nice and buddy buddy and kiss your ass because you have something that they want and when everything is said and done they turn around and take that dagger and stick it in your spine just to fuck you over and ammuse their little brain.

it amazes me that some people in this world can be so two-faced... give a whole bunch of lip service and then when they are gone talk a bunch of shit about you and your family when you have helped them out with goods and advice

fucking users and posers....... I have no need for them nor will I ever help them again.

making a list

it is amazing the amount of shit that I have, not only do I have a garage packed full, but a bunch in the back yard aswell as a 10x40 storage unit about half full... hmmm how to remidy that... simple... I am loading up everything that I have not used in the last year and taking it to the big Yoder & Frey consignment auction for the May 8th sale. here is my list so far

the F-350 (cant pour gas on the ground as fast as that thing uses it)
a air compressor
a compressor pump
a pallett Jack
a mig welder
my large mig welder I just bought in fremont that I am yet to use
a bunch of hydraulic crap
all of my rubber belting besides the 12" deflector belting (one large trailer full)
3 sets of dually tires
a fertalizer spreader
a spray tank
the 10' snow plow blade (maybe)
and a bunch of small random shit that I bought but will never use or had an idea that did not work
basically I am tired of holding on to stuff that I "might" use in the next few years.... if I need it I will buy it and if it is not here people won't have a reason to borrow it and break it before I can use it

my goal from this condensation is that I will get enough money to have a transmission put in my 91 chevy and get it back to being reliable and then get out of dodge for a little while and go explore.... throw some tools in the truck, grab the dog, load the 4 wheeler on the truck, go borrow DC's 16' aluminum boat, pack the tent and get away from the hell for a week or two
