DUDE!

I don't believe I'll be heading down there...  I just spent the last two hours trying to get out of our street.  Too ----ing icy!!!!!

I jackknifed the ----ing truck and trailer right in the middle of the ----ing street.  I couldn't go forward and since I was take a right out of the driveway to leave, the trailer was cocked.  Tires just spun and spun.  What a ----er!  As I tried to back up the front wheels just slide and the truck went straight back instead of back in the drive way...----er!  Jackknifed!

I had to get the damn motorcycle jack out of the back of the trailer (nice loud noise at 2 am rolling that damn u-haul door up) and lift the trailer off of the ball hitch.  This damn thing was 90 degrees, no shit.  It finally came off and I had to pull the heavy ----er around so I didn't block the whole street.  Mind you, this had my bike in it and it is a 6x12 foot tandem wheel trailer.  Heavy!  I tugged and pull the bitch round.  Now it is facing down the hill towards the col-de-sac in front of the drive way.

Then I had to try and reverse the truck out of the hole I dug w/ the wheels.  I then was able to rock forward and get to the end of our street.  Then I had to find a place to turn around.  I did and came back down our street towards the col-de-sac in hopes to hook the trailer up that way.  Perhaps, go down hill and turn around.  I'd never find out, because I could back the truck up close enough to the trailer.  I just sled the rear wheels all over the ----ing place!

But I couldn't' give up.  I was determined to be there!  So as a last ditch effort, I slowly tugged the trailer towards the ball hitch.  I had to move slow and cautious as the trailer is now facing down the ice hill.  I got the trailer close.  All I had to do was pull it about a foot sideways to hook up to the ball hitch.  I tugged and tugged and then damn thing would move a little but not enough for me to drop it on the ball.  So I gave it one huge tugged and my feet flew out from under me and I busted my ass.  It really ----ing hurt.  I think I shrunk 2".  Weird pinch pain up my ass.

So I figured this was enough ----ing around at now 4am.  I'm headed to bed with a heat towel on my ass!

Buzz me when you get this....
