I'm busier then a beaver building a dam in a hail storm,fish fish fish fish wow its hard work but you gotta love it.Have several days planned for fishing so I had to tape the phone to the wall,got tired picking it up off the floor.

 

[Dan S]

wont be long and I will say >> ma I cant wait untill I have a couple Grand-Babies......

NO-Fishing Big ...

(dang)=They founded it (dang)=about 3 or 4 hours drive from here(dang)=going fishing anyway.Guess the Lord also anwered the laws prayers,they found it.Guess the lord works in alot of ways,he answered my prayers if any of my trucks where to get stolen the Z would be my first choose.He also answered my brothers prayers when he prayed lord please let one of these trucks start b/c the other two wouldn't,he also answered the laws prayers to catch my brother who was on the run from the devil.

Only thing is its going to cost me more then I want to pay to learn a lession,I haveta pay to get it out of jail,I haveta pay a rollback to go get it and pay to put another switch in it,it seems my brother throwed the other one away which was another lession to always have a spare key to anything.

So while I'm learning all this new stuff I thought I would let the LORD answer the phone because I'm going fishing,he said I could when I ask him last week and I see nothing changing his mind cause he's going with me......we may not even file charges againest my brother,depends on what I catch today or who catches the biggest fish......gone fishing

I've been getting several calls a day. And the best part is, signing almost all of them. This season has started out at least double the pace of last season....and that one was a good year.

I worried that people may be keeping their wallets closed, but so far I haven't seen that. I've got about 20 decks booked right now. Tomorrow morning I have two quotes to do, and three others for later in the week.

The weather here was really crappy (cold) until the middle of last week. I figure once it gets a little warmer, and people start walking around outside looking at things, the phone will start ringing off the hook.

No time for fishing, although I wish I had the time. The walleye are running in the Detroit river right now. The fish head down the river to Lake Erie, every spring. If there's any fishing for me, it has to be ice fishing. But that's fun too, as long as you don't mind the cold.

For the Record, I am not the Brother that stole the truck. IT is a Chevy after all.

Scott Stone

 

[Larry L.]

Heck Scott everybody knew it wasn't you,they all know mom ran you off b/c you drove fords,she still says she is going to throw you in the fireplace if you ever come home.

They have my truck back,I seen it today,everything is still in it,even the money and checkbook.The extra gas and diesel,hoses,will it looks like it did when I last seen it,all but a full tank of gas.I do not know yet what this new learning is going to cost me.

I wash for the wrecker service that went after it,I thought I would give him some of his money back from all the washes I've done for them.I could have went after it myself or even barrowed a rollback to haul it back but got to thinking I needed to give back in helping support the business in my area that help support me.It made the last three days of fishing more enjoyable knowing I was helping someone that has help me in this business.

Tomorrow I,m going to get to meet the guy who stole my truck,he sent word to me he wanted to tell me he was sorry.The truck is not hurt,everything even the money is still in it,he could have done alot to it and me by writing checks and spending the money that was in it,there was enough extra gas and diesel in it to burn it.
Could this be someone who was scared and cares...

 

[Scott Stone]

I'm sure that you did enjoy the last three days fishing, knowing that someone else was doing your work for you. I can hear it now "gee, I would love to wash your truck, but someone stole mine,Don't look at those two over there, and I am waiting for the tow company to go get it., when they get a chance." At least the guy has a conscience. It would be interesting to know the rest of the story.

 

[Larry L.]

One of the other trucks I had just gotten though detailing it,I wasn't about to hook the washer to it,the other truck has a two man boat in it which only can be taken out when there is enough water to float it in.GEEeee I wish I could work but someone stole my work truck ,it worked getting out of work but most all the replies was "you can barrow my truck if you need to" which I had to think of something fast to get out of work,"if I want use one of my other trucks why could I want to use yours,the soap would dry on it and hurt your paint .

I've heard when the law stopped him,he got out and throwed a half lb. of pot down and took off running.He lives 110 miles from here,when he got home his dad made him turn his self in to the law,atleast he could have throwed the pot down in my driveway .He had lost his shoes in the mud while running,don't you know my chat driveway was eating his bare feet up,its over a 1/2 mile long.I'haven't meet him yet but heard he told the judge he was looking for a match to lite his cig and seen the keys where in the truck.The judge told him I was a friend of his and if he had knocked on the door I would have taken him home and bought him a lighter if he had only ask.

All In can say is stuff happens,some good some bad,you never know about life in general.I made a rule nomatter what happens I'm going to enjoy whatever I do,money is not everything.

This T-storm ran me off the lake this morning,burr cold rain.

 

[Dan S]

Im proud of ya Big. ........... ... most guys would of flipped out !

you ~da~ man ~ !!!

 

[Scott Stone]

There are a few thigns more important than Stuff. Maybe you could develop yourself an apprentice. I would avoid the drug test though.

Scott

 

[Larry L.]

That may not be a bad ideal,the judge is a friend and the chief lives at the end of my driveway and we have other new employee in jail,hmmmmmmmmm yeah than I could fish all time and I wouldn't haveta worry about a drug test.So for it has cost me 400.29.

I'm glad everybodies phone is ringing off the hook,I do all my extra work though the winter months and use the warmer months to enjoy.
