Hey Beckman!!!!
 

Ric, are you OK? Haven't seen you on the board lately. Check in, bro.

I also hope everything is OK.

He tends to fade away over the winter months then show up when car season is back on. Sure he's okay, well I hope so.

I'll try to give him a call today. I've been pretty busy myself lately. Had a fight with the HOA in Florida. Lawyers involved, ended up selling the three acres and buying 18.2 acres, 500 feet away that isn't part of the HOA. We now have a 1/4 mile frontage on the river, protected Cyprus forest, gigantic oak trees, and total privacy. I'm thinking about taking them to court to recoup some of the money the idiots cost me. Been building things around here, doing some work in the shop. Went to four different car things last weekend. Kathy is looking at getting a new 2013 Camaro convertible. She should have it today, maybe tomorrow.


If anyone wants to see the new property, take a look at this link.

18.2 acres, should have plenty of room to park our motorhome, we'll need a cement pad, water, sewer and at least 30 amp electric hookup. Let me know when it's ready.

Seriously, sounds like you ended up with an even nicer piece of property. Lot of frustration but maybe it worked out for the best. Pics look nice, what's the implications for you on the flood plane map?

Okay know we definitely need to come up and get a ride in Kathy's new car.

The flood plane encompasses about 10 acres. There is ground that is 41 feet above sea-level, on the North-West part of the property. That is where we will build. We have to be at 36 feet above sea level to avoid flood insurance. The property to the North is almost all protected, so no one will build there. There are two lots across the private road from us, but I don't anticipate anyone will build there either.

Kathy is still looking at different cars. She thought she found the "right one" yesterday, but has been on-line looking and found one she likes better. And I HATE the salesmen at the dealerships. She was going to trade her G6 vert in, like new, 11,000 miles, spotless, well maintained, and trade in the 2000 Ram-Air Trans-Am, wS6, black, 6 speed, 10,000 miles. After all the shit with the "appraiser" at the dealership, I called up the wholesaler. He is giving her 2500 more, sight unseen. (He knows how we take care of our stuff).

I talked to Ric today. He has been real busy, but is doing good. He had the carb rebuilt on the no-clock-working Camaro. Said it runs a ton better now.

You know he is never going to fix that clock. lol

If he fixes the clock he won't have anything to complain about.

I think he has just abandoned us ,he may need a group kick in the pants .
