You've got to hear this?

I'll try to make it short?

I have a Good Freind I've known for over 30 years. A great guy. He's into cars/trucks like I am. He has a giant shop at his home in a Really Really nice area. Something like 3000 square foot garage? Two lifts ect ect. I go over there and tinker with my cars and sometimes he comes here and tinkers with his. He's got a great collection of Hot Rods.

He has a little buddy that lives near him. He's a GREAT Kid. Probably about 18-19 now, just graduated this year. I've known the kid since he was probably about 8? He would come to the guys shop to hang out at first to work on his bicycle, then as he got older his mini bike, then his motorcycle, now his car. And he would even come over to my house with my buddy. And the kid will someday will be a great mechanic if he so chooses? We have been trying to get him to go to college! He's kind'a like my buddy's kid or grandson? He goes everywhere with my buddy, even on vacation with their family. A great baseball player, me and wifey have even been to a couple of his games. A very polite young man. He does anything we ask him, never a smart remark, never a question. I really like him! He's a very handsome young man. And very smart. Loves to get greasy?

So I just get off the phone with my buddy. He says you're NOT going to believe this about the kid. My heart sank. He could tell my voice changed. He said it's not that bad of news. But stupid news about the kid.

The kid has two sisters from they're neighborhood pregnant! I said What? He said, Yes two sisters pregnant? My buddy knows the girls and their family. Says they are both beautiful girls. He said one of them is about 17-18 and the other about 20-21? And one is two months along the older one a little more. But two Sisters? WOW! I think, I'm more bummed out about this than my buddy. I had high hopes for the kid.

This is crazy! Two sisters? If it's true, the kids life is probably ruined. There probably goes college! The boy's parents have money. Big money. And I know the area, the girls must also have money, this is a million dollar neighborhood. Very well off. So like we said, they'll bail him out, we guess? And maybe, they'll still make him go to college?

But for once even I'm at a loss for words. I told my buddy, that I'm not going to say anything about it, to the kid the next time I see him, I'll just see what he tells me?

But what a chain of events for our Little Buddy. Two Sisters!
 
No rain here, none was expected! Turned out to be a real nice day! :cool:
Got a lot of errands done and picked up some stuff for my end of the deck repairs! Now I'm going to have to do some work! :eek:

Think I'll try this!

SW, I did not consider consequences at 18-19, lucky for me no long term mistakes were made.
Hot, getting drier all the time down here. 90 in the shade by 1000 but the humidity at daybreak is only around 70% and burns off slowly during the day. Actually quite bearable but could really use some rain.

Miss Mutt went to the vet today for abdomoscentesis (?) i.e. getting the excess fluid drained from the gut. The vet says she is in uncharted territory, no idea how she has survived this long except for the fact she is dearly loved and we (the family)are able to tweak her meds enough so she can still maintain a decent quality of life.

My GirlyGirl is worth the effort, incontinent thing she is, I can only hope when the day comes I can no longer hold my water someone cares enough to dry my bottom.
