Uhhhhhgggggg. So I woke up this morning to total devastation. My leather Cadillac cap had been molested by my dog. Chewed the brim and tore the side. Despite my looking efforts I have never seen another cap like this. I'm totally heart broken.
 
Wanna talk about morning horror?!?!?

Monday morning...11:30 A.M.

I go out in front of the house to my '97 Mark to clean off the snow. I get to the back window and the bottom left corner looks VERY clear. I can see the hat on the parcel shelf and the parcel shelf itself extremely well. Why? Because some rotten, P.O.S. low-rent moron shot out my back glass with a pellet gun and there's a hole the size of a loaf of bread in it!!! The rest of the window that's still in tact is totally splintered and so when I go to move the car off of the street, the whole thing collapses in a million pieces into the back seat. Now my baby's parked out back of the house (unfortunately we don't have a garage) under a tarp until the glass shop can get a new rear window from Ford. Seems its not a high-demand item so the aftermarket glass companies don't make it. If I'm lucky, it may show up yet this week, but they couldn't make any promises due to the holidays and whatnot.

I can't drive my car, it's sitting under a tarp like some junker and my back seat is full of glass...I'd love to catch the little bas****s who did it! Some people have absolutely no respect for the property of others. When I was a kid, we did plenty of prank-type stuff in the neighborhood, but never anything that was destructive to property. I just don't understand it.

Oh well, at least it didn't snow much after the glass was broken so my back seat didn't look like the North Pole. And insurance will pay for all of the replacement costs. It could be worse...thanks for letting me "vent".

Wow, I thought I had it bad. Vandalism does suck. I live on a pretty remote road which can be both bad and good. So far it's been good except the one morning I woke up to a vagrant sleeping in the Fleetwood. I had to call the cops to remove him. What a morning that was. So why are you late to work ??? and then the laughing begun.... that was about a year ago now.

Well I feel better now. I rather sacrifice a hat than a window or a paint job..
 
I had to chase one of the little neighborhood punks that belong to the Redneck down the street from my backyard (which has a 6-foot privacy fence surrounding it) about 8 last night! Leah was preparing herself for bed, when she saw something outside our bathroom window. I think the little bass-turd was trying to sneak-a-peek. She screamed for me, I ran out back with bat in hand, saw the little puke leap the fence. Called the cops, they said there was nothing they could do unless they had proof. WTF?!? I even named a name! I know nothing will be done, the kid and his family are related to some city big-wig, and they know how to abuse thier "clout". How in the Hell can these people even be allowed to live in the neighborhood while breaking EVERY rule in the covenant is beyond me(I know, I answered my question earlier.) For one thing, how can they let a family with 7 kids(and another on the way) live in a 3 bedroom house?!? I have Leah, Her Uncle Dave and myself and even with the extra bedroom, space is limited, I wouldn't even want to begin to imagine what they are going through.(they have the same floorplan as I do.)
I guess I'll talk to the Momma Tomorrow morning after work(she at least acts like she may have some common sense......)She's actually alright, It's that damned Daddy I can't deal with, this is the same drunken fart that laughs at his kids running out into the street, blocking traffic for 10 minutes "rasselin'" while if you honk your horn at the brats he'll bellow "Wasss yer prahblumm boah, dey jes' funnin' like all young'us do?" problem is young'un's don't wrassel in a street where cars zip by beyond the 35 mph speed limit! (sorry, Venting)
 
In my rage, I forgot to mention, my dog "showered his love for me" on part of my record collection this morning . (I feel the pain all-around today!) (The Import crate!) (DAMN!) (Who'd think a Chihuahua could hold so much fluid inside that tiny body?!?)
(THE IMPORT CRATE!!!!!!!!!) (WHY!!!!!!!!!!)
 
Hey Randeaux, I know the feeling i have a chihuahua also and that dog pisses on every blade of grass that he can find.
 
Tell me about it! I actually have 2 (Ren, is a Chi-Rat Terrier mix(13y/o) and Tico ("reindeer-chi")who is the culprit (@6mos.) Both can pee up a flood of biblical proportions. And talk about ornery little monsters, don't let me be home on a cold winter's night, they fight each other for a space on my lap.(literally) It looks like a tiny-town version of a pit bull match.I love them both as much as if they were my kids. Oh, and don't let the cats try to find a warm spot on my lap, the Chi's will tag team on the cats especially the Tuxedo (black& white) cat which is as big as the two Chi's and the Girl tabby put togheter. I have scars to back this up!
 
this morning I managed to destroy the passenger side mirror on my car. It was loose, I found the screw and thought I could get just a *little* more clearance so the screwdriver would fit in there to tighten it. Well that failed and i snapped the glass with plastic backing off at the screw. Figuring I could simply put a washer in there and a new screw, I tried to remove the glass from it's plastic backing. I now have a passenger side mirror in about 50 pieces in the garbage can. Oh well. At least it wont rattle when I shut the door anymore.
I also fixed the driver's side, but without breaking the glass. Now I just need to secure some good double sided tape to re-stick the glass onto the heater.
I really hate when I do stupid things like this. I can't even yell at anyone for it.
 
Hey Gadget don't feel bad, these things happen, Last month I was working on my '79 Cutlass taking off the upper radiator hose and ended up ripping off the connecting "nipple" to the radiator! I've now got to find a new radiator for this car (parts already are hard enough to find{amazingly!}) because I didn't pay attention to what kind of clamp held the hose to the radiator! (this clamp was the kind you have to pinch with needlenose pilers in stead of the kind you screw on!) I should've known better, I deal with hose clamps all the time at my job. :slam ( I do light maintence on pumps too, water treatment involves many talents! but I'm the primary Lab Tech though.)
