HEY ALL!! where is the economy rain's a comin'

    "    Take me to the station and put me on a train, I've got no expectations to pass through here again, once I was a rich man and now I am so poor, but never in my sweet short life have I felt like this before    "    Well finally got the balconies DONE!! They do look GREAT!! Had a VERY close face to face disagreement with one of the owners. He believes that the ENTIRE condo revolves around him. I had to tell him to get off his high horse and face reality. I think he learned that I am NOT going to be like all the other owners and cower down to him. With that resolved the worker was able to finish a second coat on all three balconies and finish up the entire job. Plus it came in under what we had first thought it might cost. I hope we can now back off on some of the repair and maintenance stuff for the winter and start to rebuild the reserve account. On the eBay front, WOW I made several sales this week!! Was even able to work a deal with a guy on a couple of cards out of a set I had up for sale. He offered to replace the two higher end cards he wanted along with some $$$$ for a middle tier of the same cards to keep my set in order. SWEET!! Those are the kind of deals I like to do. Both parties came away VERY happy. Seems like I was out on errands ALL week. My leg is still in lots of pain. Hope the doc can resolve something this coming week.  CHOW MOI!!
