What did you get done this weekend?

[steveshow]

From personal experience, people from Craigslist are flakes 90% of the time...I sold a 94 truck front clip 3 wks ago. Buyer took the grille and left $200 deposit. He agreed to come Sat , 8-8:30am, showed up 10:15, no phone call. So I called his cell, got his voice mail. So I left. I had gone down the road to buy a tire for a trailer spare and my wife called and said he was there. Turned around since I knew he had cash HAHA I wanted to go pick up the rolling chassis before it got too hot WRONG! It took him nearly an hour to pull the hood (!) so I had to step in. He and his cousin had a crescent wrench and a bad set of Walmart starter tools, so I broke out the air tools and proceeded to blow ther minds. I can take stuff apart QUICK. I had the whole clip off in about 30 minutes. I had to take it apart so that he could haul it in the back of his truck because of a ladder rack ARGH!

I forgot my come along and seller said I could borrow his to load the chassis. I proceeded to hit myself in the bridge of the nose with seller's come-along because I was lifting it up over my head to clear his his tailgate ( couldn't lower it because latch was stuck) and wasn't paying attention, the handle was missing the plastic grip and it swung down and got me when I lifted it over the tailgate. It cut it open pretty good. No stitches, luckily, but bled like a stuck hog. My neck hurts more than anything from jerking my head back when I got hit. DUMB ASS!!!

I got home in time to watch last half of UT route of RICE, drank several beers, took a shower, went to bed.

Sun went to San Antonio to see wifes dad. He just got out of the hospital after a blood clot in his leg. Got stuck in traffic on I-35 for 1 hr, never did see the wreck...
