Zak, I get into stuff like that occasionally here at my shop. That's why I roll with 5% tints on all my cars. I don't want to get into a "follow you home/invasion" thing.

 

[gshadow325]

Btw, I am glad you got to put scum in jail and the arrest lead to a conviction!

holy sht. :jaw: that was both brave and stupid.

Yes it was stupid, and to this day, I can't explain what possessed me to do it. My wife was very upset with me. Idk, I really hate fkn thieves. I've had 2 vehicles stolen and when I was a kid, our house was ransacked and burglarized. The kicker is, I'm not even friendly with my neighbor. We've spoken maybe twice in the 20 years I've lived there. Go figure. I wouldn't do it again...

Guess your fight instinct overpowered your flight instinct that particular day/situation. Awesome story - especially since you two don't converse regularly.

Today I allowed a chainsaw to be pulled out of my hands, 50 feet up in a tree. Yes it should have been on a lanyard, and usually is.
Pulverized!
So today sucked, but it doesnt discount that 2 days ago I got the green light from Union Pacific Railroad!!
I start training for Denver train crew in 10 days.
Yay Me!

I'm a volunteer high school football coach. I got in a heated conversation with the head coach over something very small. He got angry and ( much to my relief)fired me. As I walked off the field I happened to look back and the whole team was walking behind me. It was a great feeling.

Got to put a face to the [MENTION=55855]zopperman[/MENTION] name lol. That's not awesome, got a set of 5 99% new mud grapplers in 33x12.50x18 for the price of one new! Only thing that sucked was getting up at 6am to get them this morning BEFORE going to work, yawn!

Yes I am at work mounting them now, as I am typing this.

Seeing GShadow's shop was pretty cool and his air horns are loud as hell...

I went to the outlet mall today and stopped at a "discount tool" store which was AWESOME.

Picked up brand name Gear Wrenches 10-15mm (except 11 and which ive been wanting forever) an 18" crow bar, and a pair of channel lock pliers (12") (which are awesome for brake pads and I think I may have a frozen caliper) all for like 48 bucks.

Got $2K from my mom as part of an inheritance and used it to pay off our only car loan.

Just got out of court today. The gangbanger I confronted, subdued, and detained was sentenced to a minimum of 10 years. He was found guilty on 2 counts of Assault w DeadlyWeapon, Felon in Possession of a Weapon, Unlawful Entry, and Stealing Mail which was a Federal offense. I feel good that I got a dangerous person and a gun off the street.

you're Batman.

We were given free tickets to go watch the Cardinals with a free hotel room at a nice hotel! Score!

I found my old 87 1st gen that I sold a while ago. I talked with the guy who I sold it to and made an agreement on a price to buy it back.

So... now I get to sell my 3rd gen and go back in time with my old 1st gen.

 

[Quatre Coureur]

you're Batman.

More like Fatman! In sweat shorts and slippers. Watch for me in "The Dark Knight Returns...Again",(to the 'fridge at midnight!).

In today's day and age, a father, mother and kids hanging out together IS an awesome thing.

i mowed my lawn, b*tched out the roofing co that did our roof, basically told them to either refund the money or tear it all off, resheet the whole roof and start over(not paying a dime for it either)... -its like the 5th or 6th time they have been back out sense it was done(less than 6 months ago). i now have flashing falling off the roof, a gutter fell down in the pathetic little rain storm we had this weekend(had just cleaned out the gutters as well). long long long list of issues that are wrong, and the instal manager who came out to day was very upset at what he saw and is going strait to the owner of the co. -also found out that the sub contractor who did the job no longer works for the co because of work like this. after that i... well to tell you the truth, i havent done sh*t today other than that.

Last month at 6:45am, I had just returned from gassing up my wife's car. She pointed out this cholo lurking by my neighbors cars. I observed him looking in his truck and trying the door, it was locked. He then tried the door on their Accord. It was open. He gets in and starts going through their console, glovebox etc. So I walked out my front door and walked right upto the car. He was so busy he didn't even notice me. I open the door and greet him with a friendly "what the fu ck u doing in my car homey!" He goes "it's my friends car homes". Wrong answer!!! He tries to push me out of the way, I pin him against the car. My wife had called 911 meanwhile and when foolio hears the sirens, he goes ballistic. Now the fight is on! My neighbor had come out to help and tells me "Paul let him go". I'm like "F that, this fkrs goin to jail!" My neighbor says "Paul he's got a gun". Sure enough, the bastard had a .38 pointed at me. I still wouldn't let go, the cops were almost there and I knew if I let 'em go he'd get away for sure. The whole time he's screaming and threatening to shoot me. When he put it in my face a second time, I just reached up and snatched it outta his hand. By then the cops arrived and took him into custody. What a day...

all in a days work

If it were me, i'd have gone in my house and got my 12 gauge

gun control is hitting your target, not the neighbor or his car...
