that's it, something's gotta be parked in my project house's driveway. another trespasser. I was getting ready to park my truck behind the trespassing car and walk home for the night, blocking it off. but he seen me and asked me to move the truck. so I drove home.


sometime no ones home next door, or visiting, that's gotta be barred off so no one can trespass. if i'm lucky I can par off his car which is not parked on my land but in a place he needs to use my land to get out of.

Coy, I hope it's not too bad (if there is such a thing as a good broken leg) and the little guy heals fast.

Thanks Fella's. Hes is being a pretty good sport. He doesn't seem to trust anyone right now. Darn Dr's Yanked and pulled and everything else.

He broke his Tibia (big bone in the leg) with a spiral fracture. Going to be a rough month and a half. The hospital was going to make him 2 crutches and he told the nurse, I dont want crutches and i not going to use them . Nurse said i dont blame you, no 4 year old will use them.

Hoping we can get a wheelchair someway, otherwise going to have to use a wagon.

I finally got the garage cleaned up since I moved into the new place (it was basically a dumping ground/sorting room for all our crap since we moved in). It's wide open now, and I was dying to see if the truck would fit in there. I thought if Coy can do it, so can I

Barely fits! In there by a nose, and I didn't even have to strap pool noodles to my wall
