I'm pretty much ready to fold it all in.
Another wasted ****ing day working all damn day, making no money and breaking **** again.
I've been up since 5:30 and driving since 6 and I just got home at 8:30
and made (after gas) for two people (two tractors), maybe $100, probably less

what a ****ing waste

Even the TN failed me (it's DRT on the trailer)

I'm ready to just give it up and go work at McDs.

Brian, know how you feel. Sounds like it is time to sit down, take stock and see if there is a reliable way to make a living. What current costs are Vs what customers are willing to pay just might not pencil out at this time.

One thing that doesn't pencils out is working for a burger joint.

Hope the right decision isn't hard to come by.

Your competition probably is feeling the same way. If you hang in there, a few might drop off, and things could get better.

You ain't going to work at no ****ing McDonald's LC!!! For one thing, they don't let you talk to the customers with four asterisks in your words!

If it helps any LC, I twisted my $500 TSC Special landscape rake into a freakin' pretzel yesterday and had to run around like a madman trying to locate some extra-large pipe wrenches and buy some cheater pipes to bend the damn frame back into something that looked halfway straight in order to finish my current job. Otherwise, it would have been another run to the rental place for sure. I got it temporarily fixed... more or less... but now the job won't get finished and de-mob'd until tomorrow... thus ruining my weekend plans.

So also a totally lost day for me... zero income... plus the cost of more tools, pipe and wasted fuel (at 50 cents a mile since I still had the damn dump trailer attached to the truck) ... plus now I'll need to buy some steel next week to rebuild & reinforce the TSC Special POS before the next job.

Ya gotta love it Lone! Or it will kill ya!

Bad luck just goes with the territory. LC knows that. I do too. You can't dig up (or mow down) people's property without breaking a few "eggs" once in a while. You wanna play with big, noisy, messy toys, be prepared for occasional expensive trouble.

that would be the problem
I think 2+ years of bad ****ing luck would be enough
I'm pretty tired of it.

I got home, and my dog had run off.
I got home and my best dog had run off.
I fell down on my knees and said Lord what have I done to deserve this?

I got home. And my wife had run off.
I got home, and my wife had run off (with my best friend).
I got down on my knee's and said Lord what have I done to deserve this?

I got home and my house had burnt down.
I got home and my house had burnt down.
I got down on my knees and said Lord what have I done to deserve this?

Just then the cloudes opened up.
I heard a clap and the clouds opened up.
A voice said Brad, I don't know what it is about you...but it pisses me off...

I'm living the lowlife.
I'm living the lowlife.
I'm living the lowlife, and I ain't getting ahead.

If I didn't have bad luck.
If I didn't have bad luck.
If I didn't have bad luck...I'd have no luck at all.

I used to own an ant farm but had to give it up. I couldn't find tractors small enough to fit it.
