it is a long story and since I feel like sharing tonight. I joined the Army in '89. got married and had 2 girls in '90 and '92. wife left in '93 and took the girls and went back to Texas. I got out in '95 and went to Fort Worth and 2 weeks later I had custody of my girls when my wife was put in jail for vehicular assault. we finally got divorced in '97.
so I was single with 2 girls to raise. I went to work for the post office in '97 in Fort Worth and in '98 transferred to Childress, back to FW in '02, back to Childress in '03, Lubbock in 06' and in a town outside of Lubbock in '16. I always put my girls first and we had a roof, bills paid and food to eat. in March of '14 I got married. to a wonderful woman I had dated twice before and had even hired her to nanny for my girls for a few months while I went back to FW to find a place to live. she knew about my addiction before we got married and wholly supports it. she is happy to go with me wheeling and camping. one time the wife of a friend of mine started telling my wife that she should make me sell everything but one. my wife got pretty upset and told her that our bills were paid, we had a nice house and food on the table and after that she didn't care what I did.
but I have truly been blessed. in addition to the buggies, I have some Jeeps, Dodge diesel tow rigs, and of course some GM rigs.
My addiction is not as bad as it used to be. and I will probably be putting one of my buggies up for sale soon. can't wheel but one at a time anyway!!
I weighed it today. With 2 full propane tanks, rear seat, tools, doors on, d44, 12bolt, 37's with aluminum wheels and no spare.
4355 lbs
I was originally hoping to get around 5k so I was surprised to get that low.
