Floored aren't ya? And no pictures of my junk piles are included... those are behind the shop and still covered by snow

Any cars up on blocks ? You qualify !
 
Have you ever said anything to your son about it? Or does the wife not want you to mention it?
Yes I have... The time we came down here for Thanksgiving and I woke up to find them gone.... They left and went to Detroit for a Elton John concert.... Then they got stuck down there after someone busted all the windows out of her Jeep.
I'm not angry today.... I'm just saying.
I'm kinda tired of feeling like a babysitter.
It would be nice to hang out with the grown ups.
But you would also have to understand my DIL is a snob..... We are as Al just wrote...."white trash"..... She might not say that to us.... But this hillbilly has a certain amount of intellect...... And can read behavior over years of time with her.

Also things are better between the kids and us these days...I let go of my anger as it wasn't productive and I just had to except that I wouldn't ever be good enough to live up to their standards.... They live in a different world.... My son has three graduate degrees....I just have two associate degrees....I would have liked to finish with my engineering degree but I fought crappy health all my life and was raising kids.... Working a lot.

Oh yeah.... She's not gonna want me to rock the boat.
But I know she wasn't real thrilled to tell me last night.
But it's really okay I just wanted to vent at 5:30 a.m. while in wear sitting here by myself waiting for everyone else to get up.
I finished the brakes this morning... But had to run to town and get some Allen head sockets as the calipers were held on with Allen head bolts.... So there's a few new tools in the van for next time.
 
I know brother.... We both get it.... You've been there a few times for me when things were down.
And I've appreciated the support..... And I really am fine.
Just a little early morning whine....(but not wine.... Been a few years since I've drank...I think about 4?..).. Not really sure. Don't keep track. I believe that's why I can quit my bad habits so easily....I think for me keeping track of how many days.... Is counter productive.
I think it would make me miss it more.
