Help him out by suing him and taking his business so he won't have to work so much.
 
Car accident last night, 4th time this car has been rear ended. Luckily I had installed a 2" Class 2 receiver hitch that stick out about 3" from the rear of the vehicle. That took the brunt of the hit, but carp still went flying inside my car and my head whipped back a little. Neck and shoulder muscles are a little tight this morning.
The guy has almost hit me a minute or so earlier when he cam flinging into a blind intersection, it was dark but I think he had a stop sign.
Asked him if he wansn't paying attention, and he said he had a tough day with working 2 jobs, running a business, and going to college? I said that doesn't excuse you from paying attention!!! I'm sure he was on the cell phone.
Here in California, the LEO will often check the cellphone of an offender to see if they were distracted at the time of the collision.

Sorry to hear you were in a wreck, but glad that you're ok.
 
So last weekend the Wife and I take off to Starkville MSto watch MSU play LSU and stayed at Nephew's house(head coach) all went really well had a blast at the games even though it was the first series they have lost all season.It was the drive back we are about 10miles S of Meridian MS hit resume cruise starts to accelerate while down shifting sounds like the tranny/torque converter gave out rode for 200 miles in 2nd gear 3500/4000rpms/ 50-55mph we made it home long drive.

So today I go to fix the car and all it needed was 3COP(pulled codes plus trans guy said tranny good togo) for cyls 1,2 and 4 I said all six with new plugs well 1 1/2 hrs later I crank it it still missing :dontknow: So back to google and research the ECM is most likely cooked(no recall but a bulletin was issued) and now has cooked the new coils.I pulled the ECM sent it off to get fixed and flashed and tore off the plenum manifold again and replaced all the coils this time I was done under an hour first time 3 years ago it took me 2 1/2 hrs.

My good friend, a ww2 naval flyer, used to say " cats and dogs are just little people in fur coats". At present I have, or they have me, three cats and am dogsitting two mostly Beagle pups for my in-laws after their spaying. A lot of fun and sometimes they even make me laugh. I know how tough it is to lose one because they are really family.
 
Had to put our oldest cat down today. She was suffering from cancer and heart failure. The hardest thing I have ever done. We had her for 17 years. She was a part of our family. I held her paw and petted her gently as she took her last breath. The hardest thing I have ever done.
I had my Brother, Father-in-Law and my dog Raven all die in a six month time frame and trust me when I say I cried more over Raven than the others?You live with your pet day in and day out and like you you Chris I stroke her and cried as she passed.
 
Sorry to hear of your loss Alder. Cats and dogs really become members of the family. Its a crying shame there lives are so short.

It was the right thing to do. She should not suffer. It hurts so much though. Like you said, they are family. We loved her so much. I've still got tears coming out of my eyes hours later. I already miss having her on my lap, and listening to her purr.

Dogs and cats do not care if you are rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, successful or not. They only want unconditional love, and they give it in return.

We still have another cat that we rescued a few years ago as a kitten. She has been walking around the house crying and searching for her friend.

Here comes the tears again...

Dam, I'm near tears just reading your post.
I know it's gotta be tough. I had an awesome cat named stripes( he was pure white) that knew the sound of my old noisy car and used to run across the yard to see me every day as I pulled up. I'd open my door and he would jump in the car on my lap as I pulled the final few feet into the driveway. It was over 10 years ago he passed and I still miss him.
 
When one of mine died, I always let the others come to see. They really do understand death. It's when one disappears that they grieve.

Sorry to hear this, we have two cats ourselves, you have my heartfelt condolences my friend.

What I have the most trepidation about is the older of the two, Ziegfeld, we rescued as a kitten when my daughter was eight, they bonded immediately, he looks out the window when she leaves for school, greets her when she comes home and sleeps with her. My daughter is now about to turn 19 and headed to college in the fall, she has him set up for her dorm as a therapy cat. Ziggy doesn't move as fast as he used to but my girl is so attached to him I don't want to think about what you just went through and how she is going to handle it.

Again, my condolences buddy.
 
Woken up at 07.30 this morning, with the noise of disc cutters and jack hammers, as the water company decided to dig up the road directly outside my house.
The road was marked with blue paint, indicating the dig area, around four weeks ago, and they decide to do the work over the Easter holiday.
The 'gang' have now departed, leaving a large hole, surrounded by plastic barriers - all of which are blocking the road, preventing an exit for my camper van !
Fortunately, I hadn't planned going anywhere this weekend, but it would have been nice to have been informed, so that I could have moved the van to allow access if i do decide to go out.
It'll now probably be a few days, at least, before someone comes back to do whatever work is required, and hopefully fill in the hole.
 
At my old house, when they painted blue arrows at the entrance to my driveway, I cleaned the paint off with gasoline (petrol) and a brush. They didn't see any marks so no destruction. They never came looking again, so it was unnecessary work.
 
It just beggars belief that they decide to dig the hole over a four-day national holiday, and then sod off, leaving a hole, with no other work done. And, from past experience, it'll be anywhere between four days, and two weeks, before anything else is done !
