HEY ALL!! flickering monitor flickering weather

    "    Baby the truth is out so don't deny, baby to think I believed all your lies, darlin' I can't stand to see your face, it's the truth you understand    "    Well woke up this morning and turned on the computer and had a screen that kept turning on and off. It also has been having blue and white lines streaking horizontally through it for the past several weeks now. Well all research on the inter-web indicates a monitor about to go out. OH GOODY!!  Well it's been 4 years or so since I bought this one. Maybe it's time. Fun times ahead. Been dealing with HOA stuff. I think I finally got the budget squared away, I converted it to quarterly instead of monthly. Makes more sense, since our dues come in on a quarterly basis. The ex-pres got a call from the roofing company. Soliciting for a new roof, cause ours is at the end of it's expected time frame. Funny thing though, he tells the ex-pres that it was put on in 1998, same time he did another one in the area. Yet, doing some research in a Reserve Study that was done in 2010, and talking to one of the board members at the time. Both say it was done in 2002. OK, 4 years is 4 years, gives us more time to get funds raised. BUT, we still need eyes on the roof and a professional review. Then the ex-pres gets off on a tangent about the water heaters, INSISTS that the board just levy a $100 plus special assessment to EVERYONE, for the next 3.5 years to raise the money for the roof, and then keep the assessment going for another 3.5 years to pay for new windows.(??) AGAIN, when ever he brings up a topic, it ALWAYS seems to lead back to the WINDOWS!! WOW!! I'm tired of that. He thinks we should just go in and FORCE everyone to replace their water heaters. According to our attorney who has actual READ our founding papers, we CAN'T do that. We can get an amendment passed that would allow us to do that, but we can only 'strongly suggest' at this point. WOW!! Just is so weird coming from him and his attitude since he stepped down. The weather has turned rainy, and ye I have not heard ONE word about how well the repaired balconies are performing with the rain. How soon they forget. We are still dealing with suspicious cars in and out of our parking lot. Trying to get license numbers so we can report them.  CHOW MOI!!
