How's the water levels, Chris?
Largest level of flooding since the historic 100 year flood in 2008. We’ve had 3.25 inches of rain since yesterday, ontop on 1.75 wednesday during the storms. And 6-8 more forecasted tonight thru tomorrow

I’m an island.
 
I think my headlight bezels will be here tomorrow. I ordered them from AMS Obsolete. (formerly Mitchell's) They gave ma a refund of $7.57. No idea what that is all about but I'll take it. I have a battery hold down and a NOS trunk key blank coming as well. I can't wait to get the bezels on. I hate dented up trim. View attachment 1716388205
Do you need the surrounds? I have an original set in really good shape

The bezels or trim rings are the C shaped ones like I pictured above. It's a bit confusing because they call them bezels but the trim rings around the bulbs are called bezels as well.

So I’m gonna pose a question:

My entire life, I’ve always strived to be honest, ethical and moral in all I do. I work hard and pay my own way. Never been late on bill, never asked for money to get me by from anyone, lived homeless for 8 months working my *** off to pay for college and sleeping in the back of my truck. I’ve harmed no one, I stay within the law(except for speeding oops) and I let the courts handle things accordingly where needed. Never filed a lawsuit against those who have done wrong to me and where one would be warranted. I even cringe at the thought of getting a gift from someone.

If there is truly such thing as karma or even a “God” , then why is it those who milk the system, live off of others, lie, steal, cheat, forge and even rape, always get rewarded? Might be a question for a priest but still.

I have asked that question myself.

Yeah. An obvious forgery just erased my wife’s entire inheritance, it’ll cost more to fight it than what she’d gotten anyways .

Don’t need or care about the money, we was gonna donate it all to the local church school anyway. It’s just the principle.

I’m never one to accept defeat or quit. Just isn’t in my DNA, but I have too here and it’s shaking me to my core. I hate it with every ounce of my being.

Anyone have anything good happen to them today? Would love to change this mindset
 

Well Chris you have some great kids that need a strong dad in bad moments like you been going through.
Don't give up my friend you're better than that.
Kids are fine. I’m more worried about my wife. Life definitely isn’t fair and I’ve never pretended it was, just so sick of losing to scumbags
 
Whoa!!!! They’re evacuating people in several of the towns near us. Lower lying areas that only flooded in 2008 during the 100 year flood. That’s interesting

You know, lost in the negative, I do have some good news for the day.

The Guard has finally decided to send me for a medical retention evaluation. First step in possibly retiring. It was a fight to get to this point so hopefully things work out. On paper, I check all the boxes, just need them to agree
 
Understand that been there many times.
Guess in the end, it doesn’t matter. We’ve not lost nothing we didn’t have. And we’re getting ready for a new chapter, the long awaited house build! It’s been 6 years in the making, excited for that too. We will finally be free from drama, and be able to escape and Alamo up against any that comes our way.
 
Near midnight,been having trouble sleeping. So i surf.
Was not a real productive day. Tomorrow i will start welding on the manifolds, trimmed one today.
I bought some plastic pallets to carry stuff around, hate the wood ones that rot away in a couple years sitting on the dirt in my shed.
