My friday the 13th
 
1) My mother is VERY sick and in the hospital and they just put in a checst tube and isn't doing well at all

2) my ex wife who I am very close to (I don't wanna hear it) went for eye surgery and has all kinds of complications and they say it might take 2 weeks for her to see again

3)have my house cleaned today, everything looks great and it starts storming, so I let the dogs in the kitchen and leave... come home and all 3 (2 newfoundlands and a great pyrenees) are out, knocked the gate over and trashed my floors cause they were all muddy

4)decide to go to the boat and get away from it all for a few and one of the yahoo guards STOLE my plug adapter the other day, well that turns off my charger and pumps, so boat would not start and was full of rain water.....they said it wasn't an approved plug.. WELL IT WAS FINE LAST YEAR!!!! so I came home, got jump pack/truck/trailer and went to pull the boat out about 11pm I get it out and that leads me to #4

5) sitting at a light with my boat in tow and WHAMMMMM some ******* SMOKED the back of my boat at the light. this happened at 11:30 and by the time I got to leave it was 1:15am. hti me so hard my prop shaft/prop went through his radiator. ( I have outboards and no drive guard)

6) went to get a bottle of morgan off the boat just now and that is gone too..........

so how was your day???

I don't know if it is as bad as your mother, but my 13th sucked, too.

I was driving back from New Orleans for a date with a new girl. (22yoa and hot.) I drove through about 45 minutes of the hardest rainstorm you have ever seen just south of Hazelhurst, Ms. on I-55. The rain started to clear, so I sped back up. I was going just a little over 70 in the left lane -- I had just passed a semi, and he was about 50 yards back and to my right. There must have been a patch with a bunch of water on the road, and the next thing I know the a$$ end of my car is passing me on the left!!! Can you say HYDROPLANE!?!

I REALLY thought I was going to die. (I never think that.) As the car spun, I tried to steer into it, but it wasn't happenning. I just missed the truck I passed, and went (sideways) across the right lane and into the grass (backwards). I went spinning down into a ditch and up the other side, then back down again and it straightened out about 10 feet from the roadway. I never lost momentum, downshifted, and drove back up onto the shoulder.

I got out to assess the damage, and it was minor at best. (No stain in the driver's seat, but a hell of a pucker mark!) I got back on the road, and the car was not even out of alignment.

Porsche -- there is no substitute.

Oh yeah -- the girl had to cancel. B!TCH.

Well I like how you had your camara with you for this date... just in case she was real fun I guess. ;)

Almost forgot Packinair, I really hope Saturday the 14th is much better. You deserve it!

I don't leave home without it.:D :D :D

Mine sucked also, decided to go on the boat, ended up burning through 1/2 tank :mad: then 3 yo radio stopped working, got talked into going off the rope swing a bunch and got water up my nose. Got home and 20 min later it started raining. 2 hours later, mom got sick and I got to drive the Firebird home...TCS for some reason kept kicking off when she wasnt looking ;) :p :D

SmilingBob 06-14-2003 07:23 PM

Scott, Dam man I mean what is there to say to a day like that but DAM!!!!! I hope that you mom recovers quickly, and now that ll your bad luck is out of the way the rest of the weekend should be a blast!!

packinair 06-15-2003 04:34 PM

mom is sounding better but then again they have her on a morphin drip, the ex can't do anything but sit in a dark room in misery, the boat.... who the hell knows yet and me.. I am still out of morgan

Waterfoul 06-15-2003 05:35 PM

Scott, I know exactly how your ex feels. I had surgery on my left eye in 1984 after being shot with a piece of metal off a ruberband by a friend (In class, I was NOT goofing around, he was). Spent about a week basically blind after the surgery. The morphine they gave me made me VERY sick and I lost about 10 lbs. in 3 days. To this day I cannot see much in the sunlight, left pupil does not dialate much. Have to wear sun glasses. I look like a racoon most of the summer. BUT, they did repair the damage and I can see out of it, so that is a blessing as I see it. It did keep me out of the military when I graduated (tried to join the Navy). Was a bit bummed out about that though.

I hope your mother recovers quickly.

The boat can be fixed, call the insurance company.

Sorry to hear about your day. I hope your mom gets better soon. And like Mike says.. call the insurance company. I had a good day, finished my roofing job and didnt fall off the roof once! Not bad for an old guy.. even managed a boat ride on Sat..

Good luck.. things have to get better.
