    It's a complicated dynamic when it comes to my dad. It's not like I have a problem taking my trailer and getting wood. I do it all the time. Today was just the straw that broke the camel's back. It's very hard to explain and it goes back years.

    I wouldn't have made the commitment to get the wood if I didn't have use of the trailer. I made sure I could use it first. Basically I have an open door to use it because he's got 3 trailers and this particular one he doesn't use. But I still called to ask. I have to drive on a toll road and drive 40 miles for the wood. Taking multiple trips with my truck and trailer would end up costing me approximately 25 dollars per trip at around 7 to 8 trips. Plus time. That's a lot of money for free wood. At that cost I'll just order a cord of wood and drink a beer while they dump it at my house. If I used his trailer it would be done in 1 maybe 2 trips max. It's that much bigger.

    Literally everything went wrong today. At least I got that trailer full of wood if you want to look at it that way.

    It was an awesome movie, even considering. No one could ever live up to Jackman as the Wolverine so... and as you can see in the trailer airing, there is an outlet for a future character (this one was set in 2029).
