Than my father-in-law needed help cutting wood which I don't mind, what pissed me off is my POS brother-in-law just watched me do all the work and never offered to help. But it was a good time (I will post some pics up later).
The next day 2 days before Christmas I get all cleaned up to go visit friends and family to wish them a Merry Christmas and what not. My first stop was the house of my adopted family, the family where if I wasn't at my house I was at there house. I jump out of my truck with a big fruit basket, wishing my friends sister who is standing on the porch a Merry Christmas. She politely informs me that their father had just passed away in his sleep that morning. Talk about being caught off guard.
So now I am helping with the funeral, and just trying to be a good friend to my buddy. This was unexpected and they where not financially prepared for it so I chipped in with what I could. The kicker of all of this is the people that where suppose to back fill the grave didn't show up. So my buddy and I and one other guy that use to hang out with us berried my friends dad.
So we do Christmas, and hit the road to come home. I have to drop my youngest off in Charleston WV so his mom can see him so I take 77 down to FL via 26 and I-95. What should have been a 16 hour trip ended up being 22 hours long.
On a brighter note though I forced myself to get up yesterday and cleaned out my garage. My truck is in the drive way with the motor ready to be pulled. I pick up my new gaskets tomorrow, so I am going to try to have it put back together by the time I am off of leave. I also ordered a 2 inch body lift, and a high performance water pump for the old girl! Now I have a week and a half with nothing to do but work on the truck.
And now back to your regular scheduled Forcification Forum browsing!
