    The Black Cloud is still lingering

    Man, it just seems like I can't catch a break!
    Was on my way to work today for some OT, and thought my truck felt weird.
    Pulled over and rear passenger tire had blown. Great, 5am, back road and no lights around.
    Being 4x4 and my spare is smaller, I had to take my front tire off and put the spare there.
    Loosened lug nuts on rear, jacked it up with the almighty factory jack, and as I went to remove nuts and tire, the jack buckled. Luckily my hands were just out of the way! Great, now what. Called father in law to bring me a jack. He had a scissor jack and a small floor jack that wouldn't pick the truck up by itself. Had to use both jacks, but we got it up and tire on before the scissor jack stripped out. So now I'm sitting at Discount Tire in Rockwall, waiting for my tires to get here from Dallas.
    What a day!!!

    Looking at all the bad luck and things that have been happening to me lately, I almost have to laugh. I know I'm being tested, and its rough at times, but I won't be broken. I just keep marching on. It'll get better, hopefully before I pull all my hair out.

    Hang in there. Keep the faith. This too shall pass.

      Keep rolling with the punches and remember, it could always be worse.

      Most of the time, as is the case here, our bad luck is caused by...well...ourselves.

        Brother I feel your pain. Just give it up to God and let Him deal with it. It hard to do but we gotta let go.
        This to shall pass.

          everything happens for a reason. You never know what could have happened if you did not have the flate. Just look at it this way your getting new tires.
