Monday I took off so we could go to the pool all day. It rained.
Tue Am the former head tard that I fired came back round looking for money. Then, an irate and irrational customer ate up much of my afternoon. A 60 I am killing myself to pass emissions failed for the 4th time. Usual issues with missing parts and backorders.
Tue Pm I am told my Grandmother will die soon in the nursing home. Spent most of the night there.
Wed AM Got to work late, Grandma is still on her deathbed. Found out i am missing the Grant steering wheel adaptor that I need to get a truck out of the shop. Went to lunch


Then...........




































On the way back to the shop from my house they SHOT my truck; with me in it! :mad3: :mad3: :mad3: :mad3: :mad3: :mad3:

Just ate a nice private lunch, free from tards and was on my way back to work in my 62. This is about 1 block from the MLK Nat Historical Site in downtown Atlanta. I drive the same road at least twice a day. Stopped at a stop sign and drive through the intersection then BAM rear cargo PS window shatters. I heard the shot more than the glass. I throw it in reverse and go back into the intertsection to see 5-7 young black guys laughing their asses off just up the street.

Since I knew they had a gun and had already shot at me once I decided that the best course of action was to act like a Bull Rhino on PCP and charge them. They ran. As I was chasing them in the 62, with a bad tranny, I was on the phone with 911 and they are telling me to stop chasing them. I really didnt listen.

Eventually we had 4 cop cars, a few detctives but no suspects.

Maybe tomorrow I will lose an eye in a welding accident and make it the perfect week :mad3: :mad3: :mad3:


I should make it clear that the existing damage is from upper 2 in Tellico as is the shattered RR PS door fixed glass. All they did was shoot out the cargo window. More I think about it they might have been trying to put the 62 out of its misery. Jus gotta make it to BHCC, Jus gotta make it to Bhcc, Jus gotta make it to BHCC

In Texas, we shoot back, usually with a bigger gun.......or just put a hog dog on 'em.
Chin up, "This too shall pass"
Lost my grandma one year after my dad, she is better off now than her last 2 years in the nursing home.

I feel for you man. Hope your Grandmother rests peacefully.

As for the backordered parts...fawk it, there is obviously more important things in life.

And as for those kids :mad3: ....I've got an ARB bullbar on the front of my 62....I would love to meet up with you some time and have a little fun, if you know what I mean!

Atlanta is a ruff city...be careful and good luck.

Dam you are having a shitty week. That stuff about guys shooting at you is nuts! Makes me real glad I dont live in the city.

I've had some crappy weeks, but thus far no one has shot at me....just remember that the brighter side is always next!

(...actually, I get home last night and C informs me the gun is jammed....<whew> )

So this is your disclamer that it could not have been you that shot at me?

I have an alibi....I was fishing that day...yeah, that's it...

if it's that bad it can only get better :D my Fj60 caught fire on the way to work this morning if that makes you feel any better.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.

Move to Asheville....

I learned something many years ago.........stay away from any street(or area) named after Martin Luther King............unless you wanna buy crack or get shot at or both.

don't worry David......things will get better :)

just think.....a crane could have cut your house in 2 when you were having dinner.............or you just havn't gone home yet............ :flipoff2:

See, you're much more in control then you think you are. I would not have stopped, and not have called 911. Of course, i would be in jail right now for manslaughter, so be thankful. And oh yeah, I CARRY a gun in my truck, in virginia, we shoot back, too.

David,

Sorry to hear about your sh!tty week.... I'm pretty sure things should be better next week..... I'll refrain from calling you a 'tard this week... :D
