Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

When I woke up today I saw I missed a call from a buddy. Called him back and he said he was going to have to start my day with some bad news. I cringed a bit and asked what was wrong. This is the friend who was shot in the leg a couple thanksgivings ago, had a chunk of his stomach removed, has been struggling with marriage issues, and his wife had a seizure while driving a month ago and totaled their Jeep, so I was bracing for some crap news. He told me a former friend of mine committed suicide last night. I don't know any particulars or anything because, like I said, former friend. Still a sorry situation for his family.

I think I'm getting calloused toward this kind of thing, though. My honest reaction was "oh, well that sucks... Not much else I can say about it. How's other stuff going for you?" I was actually relieved he wasn't telling me he was getting a divorce, or that his new truck had been hit and run, or that he crashed his motorcycle that he got today. How awful a person am I?

 

If this were just a coworker I would think the same. It's happened before, actually. This guy was, at one point, a close friend.

 

Sounds like my week…

 

I'm in the same boat, I've been called heartless more than once.

 

Yeah buddy

 

Nope, behind the scenes stuff?

 

I’m pretty sure I AM heartless.

 

Just a sports documentary of some of the bigger named guys on the tour. I thought it was pretty good and hope they come out with another season.

 

Right on, I'll check it out

 

Anyone ever done the track rental thing in Vegas? Supercars or trophy trucks??

Not in Vegas, but I did the Mustang Experience at the Miller Motorpark Speedway in Utah. It was a birthday gift to my GF at the time as she loved mustangs. Expensive, and not enough time in the car, but it was fun.

 

Thanks, guys. I'm sometimes not real observant of how my reactions will be perceived and I've been made the villain for it before. Good to know I'm not the only one who isn't a bleeding heart seeking sympathy for a tragedy that didn't actually happen to me.

 

Ehhh.... If it's a thrill seeking experience you're after, I'd give this a shot

Zach's gonna be too tall for some if not all of those.

 

That color piss is not healthy. You should hydrate more if you don't want kidney stones.

 

So true

 

I didn't look at all of them, but one specifically said you had to be under 240 lbs and less than 6'3" tall. We're both out, but for different reasons.

 

My bad... wasn't thinking about the whole 'I wear size 18 boots thing'

 

Thanks, this is more my style though

I'm pretty sure that was some type of evolution of your body's foot print to support everything above; you were probably a size 9 originally

 

Sounds cool, but looking at the truck.... well it's slower than your Tundra.
