I think I'm lucky. Have always found a way to make it when the odds were stacked against me. And now I'm real lucky...after a long nine month battle....my son was born Saturday night at 6:40 pm.
I am lucky.
I am unlucky.
I don't believe in luck.
I have never thought about it.

I have a Godly reverence or superstitions to never assume . Like a simple statement like - - I'll see you tomorrow --
I will say - - god willing I will see you tomorrow -- We can never assume .
So to not sound boring , to just wake up & be a part of the world is good luck .
But you want a story I got one --
It was the last of the cold winter of 2017 .
Below zero & my water froze .
So I figured i better get my space heater & put it in the frozen back room before pipes burst .
I am feeling frantic , also I need to get to work,
The space heater was in my room sharing a electric plug with a TV
the 30 pound TV was on a swivel TV shelf 6 feet off the floor & above the space heater
Sooooo ..... I am crouched over trying to pull the heater out grabbing plugs with out thinking
The TV plug gets a TUG and the TV see saws off the shelf (you guessed it ) FLAT onto to my shoulder area back
BOOM was the feeling . The second it happen , I knew what happen - -
I said to my self I feel OK is this possible , I moved and was testing my body - but I could tell I was OK. Sure I had some concerns
during the day like is - that feeling normal ? I was OK no problems .
All day I kept thinking , How I had 2 paths on this day I could have gone
Path one - Sitting in a hospital getting a prognosis sorry I will never move as I once did
Path two - living life , working , like usual .
So you ask am I lucky ? YOU BET I AM !!

Well, luck pulled me out again... I was delivering Wednesday night and as I cameout from a delivery, I noticed my rear tire was nearly flat to the ground. Now, for a long time I have carried tire plug kit in the truck, but the tire was flat enough I would not want to drive. It would have flopped off pretty quickly. Now for my luck... I cleaned out the truck bed two days before. I was putzing in the garage and happened to grab the 12v cig lighter tire pump I had picked up at a garage sale who knows when for a quarter and had thrown it in the truck. I plugged the tire and plugged the pump in and it started up and reinflated the tire. Had the same thing happened two days before, I would have been stuck. I know a case can be made that it always pays to be preparred, but the timing was fortuitous. The plugs had always been enough to get me out of trouble forever, but I needed that pump right when I needed it. I should not be gredy, but I wish my luck was in the winning lottery ticket area so I just could have just thrown the truck away and bought a new one.

Got a good one, just bought a dual tandems gooseneck used. outside tires on both sides looked pretty well done for, insides looked good visually. Got a call for a pickup on my way back with this new trailer. Decided it was not worth it until I've got new tires. BOOM blow the tire out on the INSIDE and took the skin off the backside of the outside sidewall at the same time. Had I made that pickup might have spread towers and gaylords across the interstate.
