Was that why you were so stressed out?

NO. Because I keep hitting left and right with BS. In the last two weeks, the transmission has gone bad on my honda, my dog racked up 1k dollars in vet bills, I got a $185 speeding ticket, and my lawn mower broke. Plus, I have a mountain of work I have to do. I have another kid on the way and have to build out a new office and then refinish another bedroom for the next kid. I'm out of town for the next 5 weekends for photography jobs. Etc. That's why I have a stress factor of 90 of 100.

yikes, well hope it all slows down and you get through it.

I kind of feel like that right now with new house purchase, work, weddings and travel. Best of luck!

You'll be all right Greg, we've all been there.

Baby's 4 day away. Master bath that was started 2 months ago still isn't done. Wagon decided to shit the bed this morning on a run back from Louisville (multiple misfires Cylinder 1), R5 still isn't done (told myself 4 months, here we are 13 months later), work is nuts (3 more cars in 24 hours) and I just tallied up how much we have spent renovating this house over the past 3.5 years.

Have a beer and laugh it off. :tup:

Life is tough. But on the bright side, you both have new kids on the way, jobs, and you are in good health as far as i know. Not everything is bad

Yeah I know. It's just getting old... I had no idea you had another on the way, congrats, Matt!

BTW, I'm definitely shooting the Derby May 4 & 5th, so I'll be in Louisville for that weekend, but I don't think I'll have any free time.

Just give me a call if you want to grab a beer, etc... I'm not racing that weekend, so I can come up pretty easily (it's an hour for me)

So anyone trying to go for the 640 million? You could be almost a half-billionaire with the cash payout.

As for the cute little interest thing, i dont replace anything. Its called cleaning the system..

Except Uncle Sam takes half so make that a quarter billionaire... 1 in 176 million chance you win. Better chances of being struck by lightning or dying in an automobile accident than you do of winning.
