Default Really bad news.

To make a long story short.

My phone was stolen and I had various items thrown at me.
I smashed down a front door and got my phone back.

I'll keep you updated eventually. If you don't see me on here anymore, well... you guessed it.

Pray for me.

Well... I was so furious I grabbed the nob and banged my shoulder against it causing it to rip through the wall and literally blow up the door frame. The door and it's frame launched into the person. I had a quick smirk, then realized that this is bad.

I think I have scared several non potential customers. The entire town was watching what I had done. Wish I didn't have my logo on the truck at the time.... It's strange as a mother and her children were getting closer to see the action, this is something you keep your children from seeing! MOVE ALONG PEOPLE!

What? LOL

This all happened at exactly 7:18PM. In an area people were getting ready to attend a school play. Parents and children EVERYWHERE.

My shoulder doesn't hurt yet, but I have a feeling I will be in a lot of pain tomorrow.



If I learn any grass cutting techniques in prison I will write you a letter lol.

#1 always back up all your info on your phone onto your computer.

#2 carry insurance on your phone for such issues such as stolen.

#3 never act like an azz in public logo or no logo. Bad things always out weigh good. Oh scott did a great job on that lawn will only stick for a month. but omg scott busted down that door down story will come up in conversation years from now. Its human nature of how we are designed. It sucks. i hate it, but its true.

If i was in your shoes. I would have done alot differently.

#1 report to the local police authority who stole your phone and have them go investigate it. them busting down a door is completely different than you doing it. Its their job to serve and protect. Your job is to cut grass.

If you make it out alive out of this which you will. just follow my advice. trust me. no bad rep is worth a stolen phone. GET INSURANCE.
