    Reminds me of my kids; they're quiet (sort of) until I get on the phone or I'm sinking the Brown October.

    I may! However , Ive been getting really good results lately for some reason. Its almost like it just clicked in my head or something. Like most anything the first 1000 times are practice.

    Lots of Murphy's Rules of War, here are a couple.

    - Tracers work both ways.
    - If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, you screwed up somewhere.

    "i only need to replace this one part on my Yukon" and then it turns into a soul-crushing layered onion of financial pain and time away from the family stuck in the garage because i'm too hardheaded to pay someone else to fix it.

    at least that's what the latest couple of Murphy's laws for me have been :(

    i feel you. i still got such a great deal on it that i'm in the black. once the current round of work is done i'm paying someone to rebuild the transmission, and only then will i be about even with what it was worth when i bought it. much of the important stuff will be brand new at that point, so i figure i'm ahead of the game.

    I often offer to stay late and try to get several Junior truckers under me off work early, because i recognize the signs of burn out in them.....but it never works......:confused:

    in my early years as a beer swilling skateboarder with attitude, i once found myself in a fight with some drunk college dudes. Thought I was doing pretty good with 4 outta 5 of them on the ground bleeding or knocked out.....until my own damn skateboard was smashed into my head. (i had a skate helmet on, it probably saved my life.) I hit the ground and got boot kicked by the 5th dude.

    so i agree 100% about your Murph Law......

    One thing that is 100% for sure where I am concerned:

    Anyone who knows me always comments on what a fancy dressing man I am. I still have some of the same clothes from 15 years ago...mostly shirts because the pants don't fit and now the shirts are loose in the chest and arms. Fast forward to closeout deals at LA Police Gear- my backup plan for staying tacticool. I will wait years for some fancy pants to be on closeout.

    I finally get the pants and cherish them close to my heart. You can bet your life that I will be hiking in a place that no one has made a bootprint in 100 years and out of nowhere a piece of barb wire will reanimate and rip a jagged hole from thigh to ankle. Never fails and just got some new pants last week.
