When YOU get "THE"5:00 AM call
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2013 10:26 am
Ever get a 5 AM phone call from one of the Kids? SUCKS. It's been snowing profusely for two days and it's cold and windy. I'm laying in bed nice and toasty dreaming of a nice spring day hunting bear when it happens. The Phone rings. Never a good thing at 5 AM. I fumble around for the head set on the night stand with the wife harshly screaming in my face WHAT,WHO,WHY!It's the boy,caller ID. I knew he was planing another day goosing the river with a bud and his brother,so I hurried to answer. YUP it was him on the other end,wind ripping in the speaker of his cell phone.The first thing out of his mouth , NOT I'm OK, but Dad how do I put the wheel hub back on the boat trailer? WHAT? The wheel? No the HUB the wheel is still on the hub ,but the HUB fell off. HUMM! Is the bearing OK? He says Bearing? Yes I found most of it in the snow but cant find the hub nut. I said Buddy your screwed. You will need to bring the hub in and get a hub kit with new bearings and a new nut and go back out and put it on. I was afraid of that he said,do you think we can get it fixed and finish hunting? WHAT? Maybe if you can get the parts at 7:00 in the morning.SO thats how his day is going and I'm up now so this is my third cup of coffee and the wife is still pissed, why don't"YOU" guys check stuff like that, "YOU GUYS"? it's his boat and I get the blame for getting her up two hours before her alarm. SEE A 5:00 AM phone call is only all trouble!!!!
