yea i know buddy but it has been the week from hell............let me outline it for you...........

monday: got a 220 dollar ticket from a state trooper

tuesday: some jerk threw a beer bottle through the rear window of my blazer and i spent the day cleaning broken glass and beer from the inside of my truck..........and I made the decision to NOT buy the dog...and it sucked taking her back, it was one of the hardest things i ever had to do.........

wednesday: i didnt get paid.........its late.....

the sword of damocles will be coming down on me tomorrow if it all keeps going the way it has been.......ok, im done whining now....i need to get to the bench and occupy my brain before i do something i will regret

That really sucks about not getting the dog. Can't the guy give you a little time to pay?

Whoa a $220 ticket. Did you hold up a bank or shoot an innocent bystander? Travel 25 over the speed limit? I had one of those mofo Pennsylvania trooper write me up for going 86 on route 80 about five years ago. It was in the middle of nowhere and the asshole wrote me up as full speed. No break at all.

Meanwhile an Indiana trooper pulled me over at 4:30 in the morning when I was doing over 90 and he just gave me a warning. Go figure.

no lou i wasnt speeding........he nailed me for expired inspection (again), no seat belt, the cover on my license plate, and not signalling for a turn..........he was out for blood.

the dog, its not the problem of paying for the dog, i had that under control. but if something would happen to her i wouldnt be able to pay for a vet visit, its 45 bucks just to walk in the door around here, and im not working now.........and havent been for nearly two years........so i dont wanna take a chance with it, and not be able to help her if she needed something...........to me that would be cruelty...

I hear your pain Bryan. It kind of reminds me of a friend of mine who had a similar run in with the law.

While he was "flying" down the road yesterday, my friend passed over a bridge only to find a cop with a radar gun on the other side lying in wait. The cop pulled him over, walked up to the car with that classic patronizing smirk we all know and love, and asked, "What's your hurry?"

To which he replied, "I'm late for work."

"Oh yeah," said the cop, "what do you do?"

"I'm a rectum stretcher," he responded.

The cop stammered, "A what? A rectum stretcher? And just what does a rectum stretcher do?"

"Well," he said, "I start by inserting one finger, then work my way up to two fingers, then three, then four, then with my whole hand in. I work from side to side until I can get both hands in, and then I slowly but surely stretch it, until it's about six feet wide."

"And just what the hell do you do with a six foot asshole?" he asked.

"You give him a radar gun and park him behind a bridge ..."

Traffic Ticket - $95.00

Court Costs - $45.00

Look on the Cop's Face.................PRICELESS

Yep, and more for three sets of shots and $100.00 to have her neutered.

Sorry to hear about all your bad luck Bryan. Did you piss off a witch and get a spell cast on ya ?
As my brother used to say "Ya need to go fishin and get the signs out yer eyes".

Hang in there Bryan.

I am pretty sure cities are making up their deficates by writing more tickets. I got nailed for speeding, the ticket was $375.00! Sorry to hear about the dog. Do you want a rabbit? My kid's rabbits just had a litter of seven. I'll mail you one for free!!!

Thanks for the link, Ken, I appreciate it.
I am currently working on two casting projects that may be desireable among Drag fans.
I have acquired parts to build complete and accurate 392 Hemi engine kits in 1:16th and 1:24th scale.

AND, I found what is MY personal holy grail of model kits, the 1968 Aurora Chitty Chitty Bang Bang kit in 1:24th scale. the price on that one? $400 smackers, lol. But I had to pass on that one this time around, and i'm not happy about it.

BUT, I did acquire an original issue of the 1:16th California Charger AA/Fuel Dragster free of charge in return for some casting work. This kit is awesome and is quite possibly my all time favorite dragster.

A buddy of mine and myself are also building a conversion kit for the Hangman kit to convert it into the Dragon Wagon. I heard through the grapevine that they may re-issue the Dragon Wagon but since they altered the molds to build the Hangman I'm not sure that is true.
However, we are going to build the conversion kit anyway.

I've been busy, lol.

Compared to me, you're in the minimum security wing of the nuthouse.

I need heavy sedation and lots of supervision where i'm at... :)
