Been awhile *might bored you readin it*
 
*I just thought I share this w/ one of the best forum ever*
I know it's been awhile since I posted. It's been crazy busy and very challenging for the past few months.
-Got into mortgage mess, I won't go thru the details but you have an idea of what's going on in real state market.
-Trying to save the house but it's just too much too handle and in the process, I almost lost what is really important, my wife of 19yrs and 3 kids (20,17&9) and part of it is my fault..i think i fall asleep everytime my parents lectured me on how to handle finances. gosh to be honest, I could handle multiple complex project @ work, last minute meetings, employees attitude and reviews, teenager crisis but can't balance my finances :o
-Fell off the train...been sober and smoke free for the past 11 yrs. and one day I decide to spend the weekend @ Tahoe w/ wifey, went to Cabo Wabo Cantina and get to hang out with Aaron Hagar and the band, on the stage and off the stage. 2 bottle of tequila later in the hotel room, one too many shots in Cantina and here's what happen:
Party on Garth!

a priceless moment, realizing that your wife is the one taking the picture:

-Health falling apart, went to emergency room 3 times due to my gall bladder and they will finally remove it next week *hellooo cheeseburger and fries :D :D :D

*lesson learned: always look on the bright side*

But the best part of it all is, I'm back to my senses, I survived (it could be worse), still got the family next to me and she got me these:

Gadl to hear from you. Best of luck and take care of the Box, best paint I have ever seen on a Box.

Sweet ride.

Unklekraker, always good to hear from you! Happy Father's Day. :)

dcporsche99 06-13-2008 07:53 AM

Hey U-

Good to hear that you're back on track!

Happy Father's Day +1 :cheers:

BTW, I tried the Griots stuff just yesterday and it worked really well!! Enjoy!!

unklekraker 06-13-2008 02:42 PM

Happy Fathers Day too, guys! Yah, can't wait to get the Griots next week and start detailing the car while recovering :D :D :D

It's a big relief to get back on track...we bought the house as a way of securing the kids but then we realize that it's taking our weekends and family time away coz' I'm always broke :D

but yah, this made my marriage a lot stronger than it was before and made our family a lot closer together :)

Can't wait to start posting again...

Well I should hope she'd be a sport...she looks like she's having AT LEAST as much fun as you are.
