Shitty news after a good weekend.

Postby pulltilbroke » Mon May 21, 2012 7:55 pm

Got home from Last night after a road trip to Kansas for some good food and to do some work on a guys truck and got some bad news about a friend. :(

Just a reminder to stay safe when working with equipment.

Hate to hear that. Sometimes we forget it only takes a split second for someone's life to be changed forever (or lost). :(

My condolences on the loss of your friend Andrew. Stuff happens too often, you gotta watch every minute with equipment.

Things like this are a hard reminder just how fragile we and life in general is.

Sometimes "in the blink of an eye" it can all end. Lesson for the rest of us. Condolence to his family and friends.
