Today I would like to find out how to get the car back and also get a pump repairman out here to fix the pump so I can take a shower. I will be sending Mikey a card and some bucks. I hope he likes the card and appreciates the money. There will be the usual first of the week stuff to get done. I want to do a little more exercising this week. Of course, I did not have a very good start by as half-ass stretching. It is just hard to get serious about this again but I will in the future. I know how important that exercise is. Of course, I do a lot of jumping up and down at work.
The big shock was that it was going to cost over $600.00 to get the well back into operation. Of course, they were using some scare tactics saying that the wiring down the well was about three quarters used and when that went out the pump would have to be replaced. They said that if it kept starting and stopping the capacitors would go again and they would be out there again. I hope I made the right decision to replace the water tank and that starter box. They are supposed to have it completed today. There is another expense that I do not need.
It looks like it might be a day or two to get the car from impound. I have to get a letter to Robert that he can present to the cops. And then they will release it. I am sending him a $325.00 check. I got an email from Annie that she was sorry about the car. I told he my friend was going to check some things out. She emailed back that that was pretty high tech. I did not tell her that asking the right question of the right person was not necessarily high tech – pretty normal procedure I would guess. We will just have to see how it plays out. I may be setting myself up to bowing out of that deal altogether. I am sure that they are going to figure that I am upset. But the only way they can get back at me is through Mikey.
Joel called and thought it was funny that the car was at that house for six weeks and the night before it was to be picked up it is stolen. Some rather odd circumstances. He wanted to know if I thought that his pants were too tight. I guess some of the guys were ragging him about how his pants fit. I thought he looked great. Maybe he is filling out a little. The way some of those guys operate – they rag him on things they know is going to get his goat. I guess the way to battle that is not let it bother you.
Mikey called around eight thirty and talked more than he has ever talked before. He was telling me about the video and the animals in it. The books he had read. He said out of the blue that he was sorry about the car. I told him not to worry about it and that I would come by and see him if I came to Portland. He was talking about Robert and I mentioned that he did not know my name was Harold and he said he did not know Harold either or Pat all he knew was Grandpa. I felt almost set up. I cannot figure whether he is coming up with this stuff or they are putting him up to it. So I asked Michael’s mom. |
