Never poke fate, it pokes back. And it's pokier than you. Always.
Hi!
March is hell,
April is worse.
With all the problems, issues, complications and debts that I've managed to find, I haven't had any time to get back to anyone about anything.
Todd and Tara, you have my personal apologies for my lack of contact. A small taste of the past while may help explain things. Small taste.
So for the last three or so weeks, we've had problems with our local Ordinance Enforcement agency. For those who are unfamiliar with them, they are much like a homeowners society group, only backed by the government. If you have grass over a certain hight, if your wood is stacked closer to your house than 18 inches, or less than 18 inches off the ground (because we all know that rats and mice can't climb or jump that.... ) more than three pieces of animal poop on your lawn (No, I am not kidding in the slightest. You are "allowed" three pieces of shit in the front yard.) or (in our case) too much stuff on your porch, and vehicles on the property that are not officially licensed, running, and insured.... its a fine of $25 a day per violation. That means our two counts result in a charge of $50 a day until they've inspected it.
We've been found in violation. Once we've been found as delinquent, they then have to view the ENTIRE property and pass on it.
This includes the back yard.
So after the two weeks of working on the front yard and driveway, for the last week and a half to two weeks, I've been working 10 to 12 hours a day in the backyard, loading scrap metal into the trailer, dumping, trash into the trailer, dumping, wash rinse repeat....
My back and hands hate me, I got a memo this morning from them that they are enlisting my kidneys in the fight.
I have a gigantic mark on my leg where the grinder I was using bounced and ripped through my pants, coveralls, and most of the skin.
Managed to get the house payment in against all odds.
I've recycled 21 automobile radiators so far, and 49 tires. Somewhere around 5 trailer loads of trash to the dump, and a rough estimate of 1 3/4 to 2 tons of scrap metal, most of it loaded by hand.
And just when the month could not get any worse, the FBI showed up on my doorstep this afternoon. When my truck was stolen on sept 10th, my Drivers License was stolen with it. Someone has been making counterfeit checks in my name, and cashing them. They've also got a job in my name down in West Jordan, and so my taxes are going to be screwed. (I wonder if I can go to that company and ask them if I can start working... They have already hired me on the books, maybe they can start giving me the paychecks....) the checks included my address, so it's not hard for the FBI to find me...
In closing,
Fuck march,
Fuck april twice.
Take them back and return for warranty,
this is not the year I ordered....
