Life sure can suck when money dies out, but none of us can quit thats all there is to it.
These days all my wife talks about is a divorce, She signed papers an all . will she go the full deal ???
Sad darn thing is i have been doing better as a scraper then most any other work, at least based on present economy. She don't like a junk man . for me i believe if i stay with it I'll grow. But to the young guy HOSS don't give up some how just keep moving

Hell Ide say get rid of her then. I use to clean portapoties for a living. My wife didnt care other then the fact she mad me take a shower the second I walked in the door. All that matters is I was putting food ont he table and a roof over the heads of her and the kids. If your other cant see that then let the other do it for herself.

You have got your freedom thanks to the many who gave up theirs.
You have plans for the future and a git er done attitude.
Remember times like these, they're a good motivator.
I lost count, but bad stuff happens in 3's. Keep your heads up attitude and good things are coming soon.
If I lived 2000 miles closer you could borrow my truck. Best of luck friend.

Scraping I deal with alot , I guess i just am such kiss a** with the wife to a point I take more then a man should take but for my kids I'll take it all . There are always 2 sides to a story .This forum is not the place, have I been happy these days NO
do i consistently make money yes . I am a nice guy & nice guys finish last as Newt Gingrich once stated

looks like all them taters turned into hash browns. Cyber {{HUGS}} for Hoss

copper head: looks like we are pretty much in the same boat, the longer it goes the better I get with the Idea, Im at the point of I will do what I need to do. a divorce is a lot better today when I have nothing left for her to take then it was back when I did. like every one says just one foot in front of the other keeps ya movin forward.

I know some guy who has no car. he scraps on a bike then puts it all in a garage. then he finds some body with a truck and goes fifty fifty better then zero for the day. I used to buy from him @ 60% 40 % he got the 60% but in the end he went with a guy an truck he would drive with for 50% 50% once i saw that i had no use to be nice to him with the 60 / 40 deal.
But Hoss find some body who you can get help with 50/50 you can slowly rebuild.

The tranny's bein' rebuilt. I trust the guys in the shop, they're ALL friends with my neighbor, who's good friends with me. So i'm not too worried about it. They know who's truck they're workin' on, that i'm not some schmuck, and i WILL call them out if need be.

I love all the tater talk.

I also love how this has turned into an "everybody rant about their life", thread. No really, i do. It's good for people to release some horse hockey every now and then.

Scrapette, i've been told that i'm "funny" before. Honestly, i dont think so. I'm not like "ha ha" funny. I'm more "shock" funny. Like, "Wait........did he REALLY just say that?!" I'm a weird mix of howard stern and larry the cable guy.

My wife says im special but I dont know who ED is.

My wife says she hates me & I have a big head & I smell & I could fill car sales size flyer's with the nice words. 4 days a ago she said she loved me.
This kind of work is great for the confusing life as a good hour of lump hammer work into a cast iron boiler and aggravation gone (well sorta)
