quatorze 1 #1 March 3, 2005 So here we are the first full week of March, its a great week, my birthday is on the first and I still enjoy them... or did. Lets start at the beginning, boogies, boogies and Dublin Ga, all on the list of things to do, money dog eared for reserve repack and some jump money on the side to... gone. the reason you ask, well on Monday (not my birthday) I drove my kid brother to Augusta Georgia, about an hour and a half from here, to get a copy of an original birth certificate so that he could send off for his passport, a neccessity for the summer abroad he is spending with his university. As we are leaving the Vital records office, the transmission in my wifes car, (2000 Oldsmobile Bravada) goes kaput in a very loud and rude manner, on on of the major roads in that city at 4:30 pm. Well we limp it home, and find out on my birthday (Tuesday)is going to cost upwards of $1000.00 US to fix it. Ain't that a kick in the pants, Cut to today (Friday), I am working on my Jeep, changing the oil and what not so that it will be ready for my wife to take to work tonight at the Hospital (she's the RN I'm the fireman) when it becomes painfully obvious that this will be the last time that the oil drain plug will ever be used, rounded out, so to speak. Well damn says I, I'll just run into town, get another one before I start the job. I make it a mile or so down the road when my lovely, wonderful, amazing piece of American craftmanship, my Jeep, feels the need to show me that I had not properly secured the hood, in a very loud, and rude, manner. I can't see, the hood is in my way, and I pull over the best I can onto the shoulder. Have any of you been keeping up with the amount of rain we have gotten in the South East in the past 2 weeks? So now my widshield is all but obliterated, I am stuck up to the hubs in some really nasty diesel fuel soaked mud. DAMN!!!!!! Luckily a US Forrestry Service truck with a winch stopped and rendered me aid, Thank you USFS. No I never made it to town, no I am not going anywhere else today, yes there is a Newcastle in my hand right now. But I still have to tell my wife when she gets up that yes she did marry an idiot, and have her tell me what she thinks of the situation in a loud, and rude, manner. So if any of you see a Quatorze at any of your functions, he may not be jumping, but please feel free to buy him a beer or two.

Come on down for the weekend, we'll play some Buffett and have a nice time... I got your Whambulance right here. And just how do you expect us to get down there, with no vehicles to drive? I am surely destitute. Seriously, we will get down just as soon as we can, for boat drinks and guitar picking.

quatorze 1 #13 March 3, 2005 They have all been done on here before but here they are again, the first one I am in the middle and it was taken about 8 years ago. The others are from last year, the engineer on my crew was taking a photograhy class at the local communtiy college and needed some black and white pics for a project, so one Saturday at work we pulled the engine out back of the house and I modeled for him (how gay does that sound) I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
