There is not much on the schedule and the activity yersterday was minimal. I still feel tired and could use a good nap. There is a Laughlin truck for the GFE products. There is not much else going on. I am trying to work the credit cards around so I will have some slack over the weekend. Man, I seem to be using money like it was going out of style. I would really like to get control of things and reduce the whole situation to zero. I am sure that it will all work out. My auto insurance went up $25/monthly. Oh well, I may try to increase the credit line and see what happens.

TEVIN LOOKING FOR A CHIPMUNK

I intend on attending the final ball game for me tonight and then I have to get ready to make the trip to Grants Pass. I need to clean out the Expedition and get some melons and vegetables. Make sure there is some money availlable to send to Nolan and Schimmele - and to take with me to finance whatever is going to happen.

I did not have a very busy day. I got off a letter to Nolan and Schimmele. Tom was up for a visit and ate up the chocolate. It doesn't seem to bother him that other people might want some. I walked the loop and went to the ball game. I ate at Old Country. Ellen called and said that Steve had a web site for Kate and Will pictures. Larue called and said that the woman would take over the route on the 4th of September so I have to pay her for three days. During the 5th inning Mike called and said that he was moving out of his mother's house because she was turning into a communist. I guess that they all got in a squabble about the exopense of his stay as well as that of Kate and Mikey. It was four weeks and he had not made much of an effort to get a job because he was moving. I certainly can see her side but I was concerned that they were staggering out in the night without a very good place to stay. There seemed to be no solution but to send more money and try to hold things together until Friday. He could not find a motel so I sent $100 - it was a real trial because Walmart would not except anything except cash or a debit card. I was finally able to get it moved. I talked to him at length so he knows where I am coming from. I am going to try to get him a room at the motel where I am staying for Friday night. He really needs to hit the ground running on Tuesday as far as a job is concerned. I let him know that the car depended upon him being employed and that I would help him get an apartment as soon as he had worked a pay period. I let him know I had some reservation about Kate as I do about any reformed doper. They are not reliable as far as I am concerned.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment was the conversation with Michael. He just has to get more positive and not take everything so fucking serious.
