My Journey..My Time

[Tank316]

WoW Bet you never thought you be looking forward to going to work . Feb 1st is just around the corner

Well G, the 1 mth was great, i loved it, the day after the 1 st mth, STIR CRAZY
the doc is a pretty cool guy though, really knows his stuff and is out for my well being. i know what I can/cant do. Its been a blessing being home at nights with my wife and stepdaughter, its but thats just the way things go!!!

I cheated, i used a friends backhoe with a clamp on it, it took less then 40 min...my wife didnt trust me running a backhoe,but after i was done, she paid me well... of course i havent run a backhoe in 8 yrs, but its like riding a bike.

Now thats the way to do it

 

[Tank316]

Now thats the way to do it

Mr. Tank......


Good morning. How've you been? I am so happy that you are going back to full tilt with your shoulder and are ready to kick some ass.

Anyway, I wanted to thank you, although not personally because you live far from me and this is the closest for now, for your words while I was $httng a brick while I thought I had done extensive damage to myself. I read your journal as much as I could while I've been out of the "loop" resolving some family issues.

Have a great day....
