Other than a bus ticket for poor Phil to get home from Salt Lake City and some groceries... nothing at all.

Pokes28 Wrote:I had a shit weekend. Started good. The wife and I decided to go to Tulsa on Friday night so we could have an early start on Saturday. Used Hotwire to get a room (actually got a better room for cheaper than Priceline which has never happened for me before). Got to the hotel and found out that it was a king room but it was a smoking room. Asked the girl at the front desk if there was anything non-smoking that we could have instead. She upgraded us to a King Suite. So for $64 total, we got a really nice room with two bathrooms, three showers, two 42" HDTvs, etc. That used up all our good luck.
Saturday comes, I woke up at 5:30 and couldn't go back to sleep so I go into the other room and read/watch TV while waiting for time to wake up my wife. Took her car to the dealer to get the oil changed. While driving to the dealer, hit the brakes one time and one of the brakes grabbed and pulled the car sideways. So made it to the dealer and asked for an oil change, tire rotation and to look at the brakes. We got there as they opened at 9:00 AM. We spent pretty much the rest of the day waiting on the car. Everything took forever. We did get a loaner for a few hours so we could at least go eat and kill some time. But they never kept us informed and didn't ask questions when they had them. I kept having to bug them to get updates and answer questions. They ran out of rear brake pads for the RAV at the Toyota dealer. HTF does that happen? They asked if I would like afternmarket pads instead? I told them to go fuck themselves.
Finally at 3:30ish we were able to leave Tulsa headed to Stillwater where we had plans to meet friends at 11:00 AM. Right as we got into town, I got a call saying that another of my friends was riding his bicycle and was hit by a car. Yep. I had a friend killed last Saturday and this Saturday (within 10 minutes of the time a week ago) another friend was hit. The truck that hit him never stopped. This is a WIDE road with 7' shoulders and rumblers on the edges of the road. So this Ford pickup comes over and hits my friend while going 60, and doesn't stop. The truck missed my other friend that was riding with him by less than 4" or she would have been in the same boat. So he's in the hospital. 4 broken ribs, cracked vertebrae, punctured lung, and he's lucky his foot is still attached. They say grade 4 sprain but I don't know if that is real.
So I :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: all day and all night Saturday. Woke up on Sunday, had lunch and went home. Went by the hospital to see my friend.
Pretty shitty overall.
