After a year of terrible luck
« on: July 16, 2014, 09:05:56 AM »
After a year of really bad things going on in my life; from my wife's cancer to my dad having his leg taken; I struggled to get anywhere - somehow I managed to get through it and saved up enough to buy something i've been saving for:



Yeah Its stock, but I have the UWS toolbox, running boards, front grill, all coming soon; going to blacken the rims out also; I hate that plastic chrome.

good to see your'e doing better through all the tough times. I went through a tough period starting about 5 years ago. first my only sister died suddenly at 41 from a massive heart attack, then almost exactly 1 year later my wife had a series of strokes that almost killed here and permanently disabled her, then almost exactly 1 year after that, my mother had a disease called "white matter disease" (I think) take her life in 3 months, then my mother-in-law got diagnosed with lung cancer and almost died, had a lung removed and has made a full recovery.

Things are good now though.

We still have '96 tacoma in the family, driving it til the wheels fall off; it's just that very little has ever gone wrong with it; a broken door handle, seatbelt and cupholder   :lol

May you be as fortunate.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Glad things are getting better for you.  I'm dealing with a lot of bad luck myself right now but reading up I see just how fortunate I really am.  Prayers for all of you guys.

You've weathered quite a storm Butcher. Glad to see it didn't beat you down.  :salute

Hang tough, and don't let the bank repo that ladder.  :)

Thanks everyone, sorry it took a while to get back on here; just don't have time anymore - LOL my free time goes to adding a tool box and running boards to my truck; absolutely in heaven with it!

You certainly deserve the new ride.

Thoughts and prayers.

It's one thing when bad things happen to me and around me, but I hate to see such dark clouds surround others.  Thoughts and prayers.  I hope your wife and dad are better and future skies nicer.  Thoughts and prayers.
