    Please take care of yourself. You can not replace you. I worked two jobs in one year one full time and the other part time. I enjoyed both. But prior to that for 32 years I had to work at a job that felt like prison. Long story short I developed 3 stage breast cancer. I was then in treatment for 3 years with 2 surgeries chemo and radiation on top of that. Do not run yourself down the way I did. i say all this to save you my fate. I really enjoy what you do!!!!

    In one way I love watching your videos in the good way a friend and I used to scrape cars trucks and anything we could get for scrape. I worked a full time job as a mechanic had a young family worked buying and fixing cars and sorting out scrape to get the best price. But just when things were going good a simple slip of a wrench screwed up everything I had to give up being a mechanic scraping had to stop it all. That is why in one way why your videos are hard to watch makes me think of what might of been. keep the vides coming.

      Wow sorry to hear that. You never know maybe your "Slip of a wrench" saved you from a much worse fate. The good thing is you are still here and that's what counts. 👊 Thanks for watching.

  • @lanitaorjeraldlewisdillorl2258

    ⚠️WARNING: LONG STORY:⚠️ My friend had his new semiautomatic rifle stolen from him by the Sheriff's in his city.
    My friend had a petty TRO filed against him by a nasty, evil neighbor. The neighbor was over 6', probably more like 6'2" tall & around 180-200 lbs. My friend is about 5'7" maybe 5'9" & weighs around 140. He was threatening my friend for years. He'd walk by my friends apt. & would make a gun with his hand & act like he was shooting my friend. My friend always keeps his door open to get fresh air in. He would give him an evil smile or laugh an evil sounding laugh. He'd threatened that he was going to kill him & just on & on. He only did this when my friend was alone. However I was there a couple of times when he did it because he didn't know I was there. I was sitting on a chair kind of behind the door so he didn't see me. The neighbor said my friend was doing everything that hd was actually doing. Turning everything around, 🤔 he must be a democrat. 😆👏😂🤣 Needless to say the TRO was dismissed. He neighbor started yelling at the judge & stormed out of the court room. It was scary to watch & at the same time it was comical. After he didn't get the TRO turned into a permanent one things became even worse. More violent threats, pushing my friend, backing him into a walk until in came to a head & the neighbor tripped my friend in the hallway going to the parking lot. Then he started hitting him. My friend called 911, they came after awhile & told my friend that it looks like mutual combat, even though my friend never hit back. My friend had mark on him, the neighbor had nothing. The cops spoke with both parties & it looked like the neighbor had friends in that sheriff's dept. because they were joking & laughing with him the whole time. They went into hiss apt & came out laughing & acting like old college colleagues. My friend started thinking & remembered a couple of those cops being at the neighbor's apt quite a few times, on & off duty. He also remembered the neighbor telling gim before, when they till spoke to each other, that he had friends & connections in that sheriff's dept. He didn't think about it the day of the assault because he was so upset & shaken up. The neighbor eventually got evicted for not paying his rent. The manager was even afraid of him, as was the maintenance man & other neighbors. The manager put off evicting him for months because she was afraid of retaliation from him. She finally did when he boss made her. He waited until he was forced to go by the sheriffs. They came over & they were acting again like old friends, laughing, joking, etc & he left in his vw bug with whatever he wanted packed in it, leaving behind all his furniture & crap he didn't want.
    Anyways back to the original subject. My friend had to turn over all weapons to the sheriff's department until the TRO was cleared up. My friend had a brand new semiautomatic rifle that he had just bought less than 6 months ago, never had a chance to go out & fire it. Once the TRO was cleared up he had to wait a bunch of weeks, I think 8 or so before he could go get it. Well...they kept him waiting for a few hours only to have an officer they lost it & needed some time to locate it. He went home & called every week. Finally after weeks of doing that someone told him to come down to the station. He went there just to be told that it had accidentally been destroyed. What?!!!? No way! Me & my sister went with him when he turned it in to be eyewitnesses. The sheriffs that came out to "steal" it were looking it over like 2 wolves looking over a sheep. You could see them just drooling over it. They loved it! They were almost giddy while looking at it & when they took it into the station. My friend said as we were going back to his apartment. "I'm never going to see my rifle again". Me & my sister told him, yes you will, just take it or steal it like that. We didn't think that could happen. My friend knew it could & as he had predicted, they stole it. They never gave him the proof he had asked for. They're suppose to write down every serial number of the firearms they destroy. They never provided him that list or proof. He had to go out & buy another one. It cost him over $1,000 to as counting the scope & the other things had. It probably cost him close to $2,000 to replace everything. The one the sheriffs stole he had bought when it was on sale. It was around $900 then for rifle, not counting the scope, etc. So there's another story of law enforcement doing wrong to a law abiding, tax paying citizen. I know it took me a long time to explain my story.
