Adventures in Retirement

Not much happening outside of taking lots of pictures of inventory and loading them into the computer, had to buy another one to keep the Ebay act separate.
Been out gathering signatures on a petition against this mobile safe consumption bus, have been doing a survey at the same time to see if distributing naloxone kits would be more acceptable. It gives the mobile consumption people an easy out as they already have their money and have got the buses but no place to park them.
I'm doing 2 auctions a week buying Inventory but that's going to slow down for a month as I'm doing an estimate for a fairly big for me fencing, shed, back porch with storage, stairs, walk around deck and sidewalk stone job. It sounds bigger than it is but it's a bunch of small to medium size jobs on a corner lot. This will be one of my last jobs and its only a cash flow job to carry me over until the store starts to catch on. I want to get ahead on the bills and put something in the bank as it may be a slow store start. The job is for a regular customer so there will be an upfront payment but will also be a monthly payment job as its to big for them to pay it all in one shot. Their used to paying me $200 every 2 weeks for 8 months at a time so this job comes at a good time. There's maybe 2 more much smaller jobs this season but no more than that. This is going to be my start up year for a real retirement and working on my toys as I'm getting real sick and tired of not being retired. I'm not very good at winning the lottery but I can live with working 2 hours a day, having enough pensions coming in to pay the bills really helps.
In theory, if I can make 1 to 2 hundred a week on by my own means, there should be enough money for working on toys.
It'll be slow posting for another month or so but it will get more active around here once I get life out of the way, slowly but surely its happening.
This little Mustang sure gets me a lot of freedom, the fuel economy lets me go all over the place and I'm not constantly refilling it like with the truck.

So, welcome to FTE, the trolls paradise. As a result of an attack on myself by a troll, I have had to make arrangements to make sure that all my computer activity is monitored due to a problem that started when I pressed the submit reply when I responded to the trolls attack The nature of the problem is of such a nature that I warned the posters that would've normally defended me, not to post a response to the trolls attacks. On a scale of 1 to 10, this trolls attack registers a 12. The moderators stand behind this trolls attack 100% and even modified FTE's policy to protect him. At this point in time the only threads that I've been responding to have been the chapter threads that I'm a regular on. There are some truly sick and disgusting members that have an "I'm going to make you hate Americans agenda" and this retired member of the U.S. Coast Guard is one of them. Like I said earlier, FTE supports this person 100% and he's been fully active on FTE while I get all sorts of crap in my trap door about 40% of the time that I log on. I don't go to sites that attract the type of cyber attack that I'm getting and it was really easy for me to eliminate the possibilities that this crap would be coming from any of my regular computer use. We do not know who is responsible for this crap that I'm putting up with at this time but hopefully it ends soon.
I find it quite amazing that FTE hasn't figured out that we live in a time and age that when a far right troll attacks a middle of the road poster that other far right extremists see this as an opportunity to attack the same person, especially when they see that the troll doesn't have any fear of being kicked off of FTE like FTE says that they will be.
And now you know why I haven't been posting. I may catch flack for posting today as our turkey day weekend may have slowed down a call that I'm expecting to give me permission to respond to my own thread. If and when I get permission I'll post and catch you all up, but there hasn't been much happening except for finishing and detailing the fence and almost invisible shed, the land lady didn't notice it until she realized there were hasp locks on the fence?. The 350 is getting the 48 cab and I'm hoping to get the swap started by months end, it'll be a tow truck with a hydraulic boom so that it can drop down enough to put on a 5th wheel plus my in frame ball hitch. The car sure is a blast now that I've got the seat adjusted properly and can see over the scoop, lol. Going to close now as I'm not supposed to be posting here yet.
