I can't win!!!! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!

I believe I may be jinxed when it comes to sleddin'. The lasttime I rode my Crossfire7 the Diamond Drive lost all of it's fluid and the DD fried. That was the last time last year that I rode. Now this year for my first ride I decided to take a break from working on my sled and decided to ride my brother's F6 for a break in the frustrating work on my CF7. Well my luck continued. I had gone about two miles on my bro's sled and what do you know F6 vs random piece of railroad track. F6 and me lose. I saw it at the last second and tried to dodge and it was closer than I thought, the end closest to me was covered with about an inch of snow. Now to drive straight on my bro's sled the handlebars have to be turned a little to the left. The A-arms look fine and I went over the windshield and broke that to heck. So, now I need to figure out how to straighten out the handlebars on his sled.

Back to my Crossfire. Well I took it to a friends late last winter to work on it in a heated shop, because I dont have a heated shop. Well I'm putting everything back together now 8 months later and what do you know? My entire secondary clutch is missing along with about 6 nuts and the long bolt that goes from my brake to my DD. What really makes me mad is that he thinks he knows alot more than what he does and he was trying to help me out and told my DD off while I was at college and when I came home I picked up my sled from him, guess I should of done a better inventory of what parts I got back from him. And he swears on the Bible that those parts could not be there.

So now I need to finish getting my sled back together at a cost of $700 more than I anticipated and now I need to fix my bro's sled and get him a new windshield. I'm trying to pay for college and all of these unexpected expenses make me want to freak the heck out.

Congratulations if you read this whole rant, I am just frustrated!
