Poor Souls No Vacation Because Of Tech Problems?

Been working a lot earlier this year due to software changes at work including 60 days without a day off in Feb-Mar does that count?
Missed visiting the snow this year :(

Mechanical problems with the truck-trailer never stopped us.

WALL STREET
HOUSE OF MARKED CARDS

My heart goes out to folks who struggle and plan all year only to face bitter disappointment. I am away from my rig at the moment and I hate it. My vacation is yet another trip north. This time I am going to the ER direct. I would rather be in Patzcuaro Michoacan.

We left to go to Maggie Valley Valley, NC - 1.5 miles into the trip the fuel pump quit on the truck! Pulled onto the road shoulder and called a neighbor to take me back home. I returned with tools - sent the wife to pick up the part - 2 hours later on our way again. felt a tinge of pain in my back - next morning very sore pulled muscle in my back kept me incapacitated all week!

Wall Street is for gamblers.

You have to "know when to hold them and when to fold them." :@

Some winners and many losers. Timing is everything along with good luck. World events could change everything overnight.

And then there's deception....just ask former Enron employees and investors. :E

This is for those with plenty of disposable income.
For us mortals most painful was real estate sector, especially if you had to sell in 2007-2009. Make it 2009-2013 in Canada, all news are getting here with few years delay, you know...

Btw, did you know how they call Wall Str speculators playing on stock "momentum" rather than on fundamentals? - "Technicians" :R

The economy failed and I ran out of money? Does that count?

Went out on first camping trip and brakes went out on trailer.

Me being me thought I could fix it. 9 out of 10 times I can.

After replacing everything from the umbilical cord down to the wires between the axles
I gave up and dragged it to the shop with no brakes.

Found out 3 of the 4 magnets died the wires feeding them fell apart and grease made its way to the brakes also.

So no camping for us his summer

Hopefully finding out Monday if we are approved for our new trailer. Which we should have done in the first place.

Brand new class C first trip out. Heater core hose blew off 10 miles to the campground. Dumped out 4 gallons of coolant. This was on a Sunday. Got towed to the campground then into the ford dealer for service the next day. As an aside the towing people were awesome. Ford uses Coach Net for their warranty tows.

coil burnt out in truck, hitch hick, towed to town. lost the best part of a day.
One of the best trips exploring CO.
