968 hits on my sled posting on two sites.

I have really been shocked at the interest. I think I have had seven e-mails and three phone calls, from as close as Waco and as far away as Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

I was talking with my buddy K.O. yesterday, figuring since he had helped with the rebuild I might defuse a possible situation. Surprisingly he was very supportive of testing the water. He is a lot like me, but just not a dog-ed. He has gotten to the point where he is frustrated and ready to drop the project.

After I had received a couple of phone calls regarding the sled and a possible purchaser trying to coordinate travel plans to come see the sled, I decided I might should take the battery off so I could charge it. I called K.O. to see if he was in town because since I am driving the Explorer all my tools are in my pickup. Turns out he was a half block from where the sled is garaged. K.O. told me he would meet me there and I gave him the code to get in. He called me back while I was in transit and told me, "Hey, the sled started right up".

I laughed and told him, "Maybe I shouldn't sell it!" We both laughed.

I copied Rian on one off my e-mails yesterday to let him make a judgement on whether or not I was giving too much information or not enough. It has always been difficult for me to sell something at private treaty. I don't want anyone to every think I was trying to scam them.

In a surprise, I filled up with gas Friday and paid $2.689. Yesterday I saw that gas has jumped to $2.799. It usually works the other way for me.

I am driving the Explorer the next few days, then I guess I will park it. I have a dilemma. When we repossessed it, the man who sold it to the person we repo-ed it from, held the title instead of having it transferred showing us as lien holder. So we are going to have to muddle through how to transfer the title and get it all cleaned up. It would appear that we will have to pay sales tax and the title application and transfer fees. Right now I just don't have the excess monies to do it.

Too many other places needing money!

I am going to the parts store today. I kind of look forward to it. These framed or structured days seem to give me some relief.

Then I have to go home.

Last night was the end of an era. I had splurged and bought Krl's favorite meal main course. She cooked it, I just helped by lighting her outdoor cooking device. To be honest I was not in the mood, as her favorite is not mine. When she was through cooking it she decided she didn't want to eat. Waste not, want not. The end. I will never, ever bring that item into the house again.

Krl has been in a rough patch lately. She feels poorly and is depressed. Although I have told her to go to the doctor, she hasn't.

Kind of makes it hard for me to feel sorry for her.

Have a day!

FATHER, please bless this day. I ask that YOU bring that one person to me who needs to own the sled.
