  • Damnit!!!

    So here I am doodling along on one of my very few lawns that I maintain. My Husky is tearing through some heavy St. Aug. grass when I come upon a funny section of the yard that takes alot of input/turning. Palm tree, funny patio outcropping, pool garden, hard right then aluminum shed, and fence. Well I zip around the palm, (hmmm, somethings not right) cruise past the patio, (somethings not right) it's getting hard to steer along the pool garden edge,, ut oh,, damn shed is now on my stinking lap! The freaking joystick weld broke under the seat. so I get up, stop and think,, *DAMN IT!* Took out three wall sections of the shed, but wait there's something inside. *Open Doors* DAMN IT! His freaking FATBOY is parked inside!!! and there's boxes fallen all over it!!!
    *hmmm, nobody is home, wonder if I just leave and they won't notice the orange paint all over the crushed side of the shed long with the nicely mowed yard. nahhhh bad idea.*
    Well I moved all the crap off the bike, luckily it was just light Christmas deco and no damage to the bike, not a scratch, the boxes didn't even open up. Called the HO's cell, I was totally open with everything, but he's in DC, won't be back until the 11th. So far he's cool with everything, tells me to send him the bill and he'll take care of everything. WTH? Hello?! Dude I almost turned your bike into a holiday festival and you tell me to send you the bill? Maybe he didn't understand what I was tellling him. Repeat,, "yeah, it's alright Scott, if you say the bike isn't damaged or scraped, I good with that. Are ya hurt?" ...
    He could've at least gave me a sigh or something. Some people just don't know how to stress properly.

    Wow, you got lucky on that one. Good thing your mower didn't take out the Harley. You would have been working that one off for a good couple years.

        Sometimes, ***** just happens... No one's fault and you chalk it up to experience. I happen to be one of those people.. The owner hired you in good faith to do a particular job, something goes wrong and it isn't because of negligence, oh well..... In general, people are too uptight. I'm "Mr. Be on-time, no excuses, get the job done, be proud of yourself, etc, etc" but even I know that sometimes some things happen that aren't really anyone's fault. It's a hell of a thing when the plan doesn't go right, you feel bad, and you hate to bring up a situation like this. But, you can't blame someone who is genuinely trying in good faith to do right by you.

        You might offer to comp a job to him, even if he doesn't ask for it, just in good faith. Nontheless, being in his spot, I wouldn't ask for a whole lot from you for a simple accident....

              You need to do 2 things very quickly:

              1. Ask him to give you the Harley and you'll let the matter drop.

              2. Go buy a lottery ticket.
              I may be going to hell in a bucket, baby,
              But at least I'm enjoying the ride.
              At least I'm enjoying the ride.
              Yeah, at least I'm enjoying the ride.

                      LOL, Those are only in Missouri... extreme Southwest Missouri to be precise Professor Toro! I mean, y'all ain't never really seen one have ya? A trailer home? You know, mobile dwelling?

                      And they pay too! I need to add that this is a great market for the young guys w/no or lil' transportation. Dropped off @ park by parent, work all day and have grandma/other family friend pick you up when done. I am working on getting together a crew to do this with as the park is a long day of B.S.'ing!

                        If he does give you the Harley, please give me the Husky.


                        As for the way he acted? That's about the way I am. It was an accident, and obviously he trusts that you will tell him the truth. So in reality, you didn't do much to aggrivate him. And it really shouldn't aggrivate anyone if you think about it!





                        P.S. If you do win the lottery, please buy me a commercial grade pressure washer of your likings. Thank you in advance.
