Getting back on track...

Post: # 6341Post Hippie459MN »

Well, About a week ago I ordered some take out with my mom and went home and after we got done eating I cracked open my fortune cookie and after I ate it I read my fortune and it said "You luck is about to change" Wouldn't ya know it, A few days later it did. :D

On Tuesday I got a call that a house I was trying to get is now mine so I have a place once again (Still doing some cleaning before I move everything in) that is on a boat load of land! Still no garage though. And the good news is once the phone company comes out to fix an outdoor line I will have my High Speed internet back so I can keep this place in tip top shape better.

Then on Thursday morning, a company I had been in negotiations with for for a contract for local work called and its all a go so now more long haul stuff for me. The pay is much better, I get to sleep in my own bed at home every night, and lots more boat money and time, No more working weekends (I have to beg for weekend work if I want some) and best of all, I will be home for my son!!!!

I am so stoked for everything that has fallen into place for me the last week. Now Sunday will top it off even if I cant get this little electrical issue fix on the boat and I have to ride with someone. :D

Just had to spread the word. To excited to hold it in.

Its a mess. Due to so much crap at my house already (5 vehicles, 3 snowmobiles, 3 wheeler, 2 boats) I decided to keep my 3rd boat at my cousins on a lake about 8 miles from my moms place where I have been staying while I was house hunting and told them they could use it for letting me keep it in there pull barn and wouldn't ya know it, I go to pick it up and its in the lake and thinking maybe they had it out enjoying the day to day I just walked out back to find a super dirty like it had been sitting under a muddy tree and the boat that looked like its been sitting outside for the last month and a half. Well, come to find out, they had it out 6 weeks ago and just left it on there beach uncovered until I went and picked it up. They claimed since selling there truck they had no way to get it back out of the water. I told them I was only 8 miles away, CALL ME!!!. I must have scooped a foot of water out of it and then got it running and half way to the launch I lost half the power to the boat and had to paddle my *** to the launch all by myself. That thing is not an easy boat to paddle either considering its a 21 foot glastron with a big block chevy and a small cuddy cabin in it. Well,I got it home and after about 5 hours of on and off work of fixing corroded wires and crap I tapped out. Needless to say, I am going to make them pay for any damages. Also they had the pads from under the small cuddy laying on the floor in the water. I guess that what I get for letting someone use my boat in trade for free storage while I find a new place to live.

It was enough to make me cry. LoL
