Dude, I hear you. One thing after another without a mental break. You just want to get in cruise mode for awhile, but life ain't havin' it. Work, family, the f'n house (and/or yard in my case). And you've got your own business which is like work--amplified!

Sometimes its seems like nothing's going right... but it builds on itself. Little things that go on all the time start to seem like a big deal when lumped in with the rest.

I pretty much had a breakdown last night trying to get my sprinkler system all rigged up without watering the house or the woods. The shape of my yard just isn't allowing an easy set up. No way should I have been so frustrated though. There I am, yelling at my wife and kid like a lunatic. And of course, last night one of the timers failed and never shut down and wiped away areas of hydroseed. Had it set right, it just wouldn't shut down.

I'm just sick of everyone and everything. I just want to be alone and have no responsibilities for a bit. Tough to do as a parent, a husband, a homeowner... all while working 40 a week and commuting another 15-20.

Oh well, the life I chose I guess. And don't get me wrong, the good of all these things far outweigh the bad... you just get in those ruts... those down swings on the cycle.

Well, felt good to vent... Got Stripers, good luck with the boat, I hope you can get that boat up in running in short order. After my brief dealings with mechanics the past 6 months, I'm seriously considering seeing what kind of marine mechanic courses are out there. I'd rather rely on myself than someone else.

Sunday should provide us all with a good release and hopefully, the fish will cooperate and be merciful on us.

Thankfully, we always have fishing... imagine the folks that don't have a passion like that and go thru all this crap. What do they do?

Drink alot I suppose.
