It would be sad to let go of the house but times are hard and it may do you well in the end. I lost my car to the repo man in December and as much as I miss it and as bad as it was being without a car for a little over a month, today I have a used car and don't have to worry about the $700 I paid between the car and the insurance.

I hope all goes well for you Mason. If I may ask, would you benefit financial from the sale or will you break even or lose?

Thanks. Sometimes such things work out for the best in the end.

Basically I would just be selling it for what I owe on it, so the only gain to me be would getting out from under the payment.

The first time I was laidoff, a friend told me not to say "it could not get worse".  She was right. 

I do hope your luck improves.  14 months on the road is a long time.  I guess if you have not missed a homestead by now, you will not.

Your friend was right, it can ALWAYS get worse.

Thanks, my friend, and I agree, over a year without means I didn't really need it in the first place. While it's nice to have some place to call "home" it really isn't an absolute necessity in my line of work.

It would be nice to spend some time at a place called Home, but it's not necessary. I can always come spend a few days at your house

I would  feel bad if you had to give up your home.  From the pictures we saw from the cam it looked very nice and it was  a warm location.  And you had your flowers and such beautiful pictures you posted.  BUT in these times we do what we have to do.  just thinking about you.  crap.  j

You are always welcome!  My wife has it fixed up now to accomodate an army!  An Army of her relatives that will probably never visit (they are in California), so we have plenty of space.

Thanks. Life goes on.

Thanks. You never know, I might take you up on it some time. Can't beat a home cooked meal once in a while.

I spoke with the garage today. It seems they received the wrong cylinder sleeves and had to order the right ones. They said they were "shooting for Tuesday" to have the truck ready. ARGH!!!!

If I could have jumped through the phone I would have strangled the guy. Unreal. I was pretty pissed off and told him that he should have a man or two work the weekend to get my truck ready. He didn't comment on that suggestion as it was just one of many of my suggestions, many of which involved less than physically possible acts involving my truck, his shop, and his head (possible perhaps).

I am seriously getting sick of being here. I am now on a first name basis with several locals. That is not a good sign. I've been here way too long without making a dime. I need to move on. I swear if I had the extra cash to spend I would have taken a cab down to the garage just to punch somebody in the nose.
