Title: Life sucks!
Post by: Busted Knuckle on June 24, 2010, 06:19:42 PM
Sorry, but it does!
Too damn many things have happened in the past 3 weeks to write all about them.
But let's just say about $45-50,000 in lost $ and repairs combined in just 3 weeks!
Damn I'm glad to know it's gotta get better. Cause it sure as HELL cain't get MUCH worse! ;)
Good news is even as dark as the clouds hanging over my head have been, I still woke up breathing each frig'n day!;)
;D  BK  ;D

Actually I've been dealing with so much overload with the business I can't even find time to enjoy anything. But having my youngest grandaughter  having some medical problems, she'll be 2 in August, pretty well puts things into perspective.

Andy, your right this too will pass!

Scott, I hear ya this is our busiest time too! And I'm the only one hear working running the office, shop, repairs, schedules and etc. while mom & dad are on the road, and my sister is in IN with health issues!
(sorry to hear the wee one is having problems! It's always bad to hear of kids having troubles!)

ccbmster, yer absolutely right! And I wish I had it to loose too! (I just spent $ that was supposed to be spent elsewhere like bus & mortgage  payments, payroll, food and anything else unimportant! ;)

Bob, I hear ya buddy! I talked to Sean last week myself. And he called me today with problems and I gave him a # of someone in Nastyville (Nashville) that might could help him out! He was headed to a camp @ Lake Junaluska, NC. (I couldn't help him as the buses we have running are scattered here, there, and over yonder. Plus at the moment he called I had two down in our shop myself!
Note; YAY! I only have one down tonight and the rest are one the road! (the one still down  will be until Tuesday AM when www.axlesurgeons.com (http://www.axlesurgeons.com) will show up and repair it and it will be repaired by afternoon  only cost $800-$900 ~ $1000 MAX! and here it's been down 2 weeks and cost me over $10,000 so far! Why didn't I just call them in the first palce! ;()

Cody, can I really? pretty please, pretty please! I need someone really very deserving to take out about $50 grand and 3 weeks of frustrations on! ;D

Well life is what it is, and I have faith it'll get better! (Unless I wake up not breathing anytime soon! ;))
;D  BK  ;D

Sorry BK, We know how you feel. It has sucked pretty bad for us too lately. As Scott said tho, some things happen and it puts it into perspective. My 12 yr old grandson has had some medical issues the last few weeks, and at that point, he is all that matters. Life is short, so, chin up, God wont give us more than we can handle, although sometimes it seems it is more than we can handle. Take care

SO true! And THANK YOU!

By the way my family and friends can't believe how calm I've been over all this crap that has been happening!
I've been smiling and saying "well what else we supposed to do, beside fix it and get on with it!" ;D

My sister really couldn't believe it when a driver called and said he had a $350,000 bus buried up to it's axles in a field and I was calmer than she was! ;) (as Forest says "**IT Happens!" )
;D  BK  ;D

Yep, stress, worrying, freakin out, will only lead to an early grave anyhow. Life happens, just gotta deal with it, and play the hand you are dealt.

I been feeling much better these days   Whew!  Glad that's over with......the drugs are  finally kicking in. :) :) :)

Hang tough BK.  Just hang tough.  How many here would envy you having the $50 grand to lose?  Or even the line of credit you need to be able to borrow that much ALLLL AT ONE TIME.  Lets face it, you work too hard to fail...no wait that's not a guar......crap, sorry I brought that up.

You know I wish you well and if I could lighten your load I would not hesitate.

John

BK,

You want someone to help out in the office?   :)

You gotta place for the bus & I'm hating Maryland.

You can pay me in fuel & bus parts!

Of course, I will only be able to work for about 2 weeks because the wife will kill me for taking her away from the grand kids.....   ;D ;D
