Good to hear from you.

Congratulations on the purchase, and being self employed.There's nothing quite as satisfying as working twice as hard for half the money.

Re: Teeitup is out of the truck parting for awhile

Dang Randy - I know you and her worked on it for the last years or so. But from experience (x2), get over it and move on. If both of you forget about the worldly items and make the kids the priority, it will all work out for the best. You are a good guy, so do whats right and you will be blessed. Im here to tell ya my friend!

If you get this way (Florida vacation), let me know. I have great connections. Take care and the best to you and your family.

Re: Teeitup is out of the truck parting for awhile

Randy, as has already been said many times, really sorry to hear of this pending divorce. No one but you and your wife has the knowledge as to what brought this in to play but if it can't be worked out for mutual understanding and well being hope you can end this amicably. It will be better in the long run for you, your wife and especially for the kids. Don't be afraid of losing your man card by the possibility of seeing a counselor, either together or seperately if need be. Best wishes for you in the future and hang in there Bud.

When kids are involved, divorce sucks no matter the side. I am sorry for all you're dealing with. A bunch of us have been there too. Be the better person no matter how impossible it may seem, and keep it right for your kids. See ya when things settle
