I quit!!!

[201pro]

I am at my wits end...

In the last 6 months we lost my wifes son in a car accident,
my wife then got sick and had to be off work for 4 months, when she was better, her job said she had been off too long and they had nothing for her to come back to, so they let her go,
my business Is at about 50% of my normal income for the year,
I came up with the money to fish my first tournament of the year and had to replace both TM batteries the night before and blanked the tournament,
on the way home from Patoka I lost the transmission in my truck
and this morning I was going to work and dropped a valve in my work van and stuck a rod thru the block on the interstate...

So I quit...

I guess I am supposed to loose everything I have spent the last 20 years trying to accumulate...Hey Obama, where is my bailout...

[Mike Daleo]

Take a deep breath. Think about what good things you have and focus on that.

[201pro]

MIke the problem is, at this rate, I going to loose everything I have that is good...

[Heffer11]

Hang in there Russ, things will turn around. If we can help just give us a shout.

Take a couple days off from work, catch you a couple of seven pounders and you will be fine.

Hang in there , better days are near....

[billius]

I sure hope things improve for you. They will...do like Mike said, focus on the good things...your wife is better.

[Slopfishin]

Hang in there bud. Just remember that there's always somebody out there worse off than you. It'll get better.

[EdDavisKY]

Hard to do at time but you need to hang tough, if not for yourself (which should be your priority) but for the family. If you go down hill who is the family going to look up to and how are you going to support them mentally.
Let me know if you need to go fishing next weekend

[finesse worm]

hang in there Russ, I know you'll get through this.

[JimDi]

Sorry about your losses... Hang tough. Discuss things with your wife and what you are thinking.

Economy sucks due to greedy bankers.... These people should be thrown in jail. There are alot of hard working honest people that are getting the screw job because of there actions. My partner and I sold our boats due to gas prices and everything else going up. Am building an emergency fund right now and will get back into the fishing scene later. Kind of like circling the wagons because I don't trust the politicians anymore...

[hotrod]

Hang in the buddy it will turn around. We have got to be patient. I am in the same boat as you. But i did sell my boat today.

[Boss445]

Russ,
Just hang tight! I think everyone has their own troubles, heaven nows it comes all at once.
I just lost my lower unit Saturday, off to the shop we go. If I can help ya let me know.

[hardestyeric]

Hang in there Russ. If there is anything I can do or if you need to get out in the boat for a while give me a shout. I'm just down the road a little bit.
