I bought a pool, it’s just one of those blow up pools but it has been so much fun. Speaking of stress, we just got back from a one day trip to Six Flags over TX. Several friends went, we had 2 vans & my car.
Day 1: Left 2 hours late, spent an hour in Dallas traffic, the person leading saw a ferris wheel to the East & led us the wrong way (it was the Dallas fairgrounds), got to 6 Flags: lines were long, sun was hot, patience was thin, took a van to the hotel to check in, transmission went out in the middle of an intersection, AAA towed us to the hotel 1.5 hours later, hotel had no pool (they lied to us), while everyone argued about switching I went back to 6 Flags & had some fun.
Day 2: the people in the other van said they would tow the broken van back & fix it, bad idea; I rented a Uhaul & tow dolly & took it to Kevin in OKC to fix it right, funny how a Uhaul is $19.95 in town & $320. to go somewhere, oh well stuff it on the Visa, got it to OKC, spent the night with dad.
Day 3: Made it to within 18 miles from the end of our journey when a guy in a Dodge Ram 4×4 decided to take a nap & drive it up into the back of my uhaul at 90 MPH. After 3 hours, tow truck, fire truck, highway truck, water dept. truck, semi truck, ambulance, carload of people from Montana, a Highway Patrolman with a gun fetish & life flight chopper(for the guy who hit me’s wife) helped us out we made it to the Uhaul place to drop off their truck (minus the rear door). That’s when they wanted to charge me for the tow bill for bring the mangled car tow dolly back. Screw you guys, I’m going home. Back to my pool where I should have stayed in the first place.
Stress, Ha! I laugh in the face of stress
