People that don't take care of their stuff, this cart required a complete rebuild, I don't think they ever changed the oil the crank case was full of sludge, it smoked, and the rings were completely gone, sad thing is, it looks to be fairly new, and it had the Subaru 350cc, they should be happy though, we're giving it a 290cc head, providing a higher compression, should be better than it was, :sigh:

My ex got engaged and didn't even tell our daughter! (Or me) I found out about it via FB yesterday. My daughter argued with me that "he's just mommy friend!" when I attempted to brace her for what's coming. My ex has been seeing this man for two months after meeting online. My daughter couldn't even remember his name.
Wait until this jackhole moves in. People just don't think anymore or they don't care about this impacts a child.
I'm sad that my daughter is now being thrown into this situation and she knows nothing about it.
Not sure if I should even react. My ex is known for a slue of revolving door men.

I may just suffer from Daddy syndrome. My mind is racing and I'm ready to kick this little man's @ss for posting pictures of the two or so times he has met my daughter. In essence portraying himself to everyone as the savior from the "crappy real father."
Meanwhile, I think of the 45k that I spent in legal fees to get joint custody. I recall the police handcuffing me at the hospital the day my daughter was born. My ex spending my child support to party, boink losers and travel to see these losers, her fruitless lies in court, I remember enduring a battery of two years of psychological testing as this woman used her dads 401k to unsuccessfully prove me "unfit." I remember my computer, credit card and medical records, subpoenaed because of false allegations. I recall 8 hour depositions, cross examinations in court with lawyers that could bring you to tears. I remember failed mediation. I remember my ex paying people to testify against me... Including my kindergarten teacher and first girlfriend. I remember going to pick up my daughter and her not being there. I remember putting the toys in the trunk in tears on those days. I remember my ex calling CPS on my new wife. I remember my ex trying to prove my daughter was autistic to collect a disability check. I remember two years sleepless nights worrying and working two jobs to pay my attorney and support my daughter. I remember selling my belongings to pay my attorney.
I remember the judge telling me "that he has seen many fathers in court but none as dedicated as me." I remember smiling as he dismissed all of "her" testimony and told me that I was a good father.. A "real" father in today's world.
This new man may attempt to try and assume the role of daddy because of my exs lies. However, he has some big shoes to fill. Shoes he will never step into unless I'm dead.
If you have children, appreciate the gift. If you have a GOOD husband or wife, appreciate that gift as well. Take it from someone who knows. Thank God everyday for them. Never take it for granted.

Yep my ex kicked me out and moved her unemployed boyfriend in three months later! My two young daughters don't have a very good role model to see everyday. And there ain't **** I can do about it!!! I just have to be the best father when I have them and just hope that they can keep their heads on straight. Hopefully someday they'll figure out that Dad wasn't so bad after all! :-)
