Ok guys, I'm really at a loss on this one. My dad's youngest brother is moving at the end of July and has one heckuva collection of tools(toys
). Since I figured he wouldn't be needing them for a while I asked if I could bring them down to Virginia Beach(from MD outside DC). He said sure and that I just had to take care of them and refill the tanks(Mig welder and oxy/act torch) when I brought them back. So anyway, I'm thinkin about all these tools and lookin at the back of the Jeep and thinking there ain't no way it's all gonna fit. So I ask my dad if I can borrow his GMC Yukon for 3 days to go to MD and come back with the tools, explaining that the Jeep was not big enough to hold them all. He says sure and drops it off on his way from his jobsite to the office(on the way....this was on Wednesday, midday). So long story short, I go to MD, get the tools, and come back, getting home around 6 last night. Well, he had given me two tickets to see an exhibit on Ferrari's at the local art museum(will post pics later
) so I took my brother and we went. I got home from that around 8:30 completely exhausted from my day's activities and went and passed out in my room(truck is still laden with tools). I wake up from my nap at 10:30 ready to go unload and find everyone in the house has gone to bed already. There's too much stuff(too heavy) for me to do it by myself, so I figured he must not be in a hurry and that it could wait till today. Well I had to work from 7-8 today(13 hours, not 1) and so couldn't have done it till tonight. Anyway, I get a call around noon essentially bitchign me out for leaving his truck full of tools. Now, this part I completely understand. I shouldn't have just left it like that and I agree that he has the right to be upset with me. I kinda had accepted that as a given when I gave up and didn't do it last night. The part that I really don't understand is that I got a call from my mom 45 mins later saying that my dad had proceeded to pretty much dump everything out of the truck and damaging several things, including ripping the top off of my Uncle's workbench. She also told me that he was on his way to my place of employement to kick me out of the house. When he got there he said I had to get everything out of the garage that was mine or associated with me and that I was more than welcome to go with it(i.e. get out). Now, some of you will say, "what's the background, what are the ongoing issues that you're not saying?" But honestly, there aren't any that come to my mind, my mother's mind, or my brother's mind. He seemed perfectly happy with me yesterday..... Anyone have any insight to offer me?? 'cause I'm really at a loss right now and don't know what to do....
THanks guys for letting me vent
