Wow, I really did wish to say what life keeps, however, there were so many different ideas flying through my head that I just had to let it alone.
Hello Everyone,
Well, last you heard was the news about the Van was depressing. I spoke with the tire man and he will allow me to return the tires. So that is one option. Another is to take it to Dove Campers and see if they want it for the cost of tires, tags and rego. So, I stripped poor Sunshine and took her to David at Dove Campers. I left her there while David decides if it is worth the time and effort for him. That was on Friday early arvo.
Friday evening I picked up Jenny and we set off to Dhammloka Buddhist Society. Enroute many ideas were tossed around. Neither of us wishes to see the demise of Sunshine. Yet, I cannot see spending 3 -5000 dollars on
re-creating an old van (1978). Even if she is in good nick inside. Also, my real goal is to have a real upstanding bus rather than a bend over campervan.
Jenny is putting the word out to her email list to see if anyone is interested in doing the re-creation work. Currently Sunshine is sitting at David's.
Also, earlier on Friday I stopped here in Fremantle at Manna's Organic foods. I am working seriously on upgrading my diet. I saw on the notice board a 'Garden Studio To Let $140/ week'. I called on Saturday morning after my ride around the river with friend George. I set up to come and see the place at 4 Sat arvo. This woman is looking for a person of distinct qualities. "Mature Age (am I mature at 60???) Non-Smoking, meditative, AWARE person" YEHAH fits me to a T.
The place is quite small probably at one time a two car garage that has been tastefully converted. Largest Bath Tub that I have ever seen. Furnished but, I can switch some of my stuff in easily and rid myself of other stuff not needed. Short story of a normally windy person . . . . GOT IT! And, I don't need to take it until 1 Dec which is good because this place is rented until 12 December. Allows clean up at both places with Ease and Joy and Glory.
I am excited. And, with this I know that I am back where Spirit wishes me to be. Small place, Easy to take care of and not yet into a Bus. Also, really really interesting is that this will be my 3rd place in a row that the street number totals a 7.
7 = the residents seek solitude. Entertaining is an occasional planned event. Surprise visits are discouraged (not true). The interest is self-realization, knowledge accumulation, and spsiritual growth. even though it attracts loners, the house will be happy only if more than one person calls it home.
Well, into my 3rd place and still no partner on the horizon. And, I am not looking. Well, not seriously anyway.
Peace to all.
I will let you know what is up next.
Oh, Start a new job on Monday as a forky again at IGA warehouse.
peace

may you all be well and happy

And the next 5 seconds will create what?
Hello everyone.
Well, I probably ought to have started writing the spin of life about a week ago. So much has happened in the last 8 days.
Monday Evening I got fired off of the evening shift at Industrial Galvainzers.
Tuesday I started day shift and had many many people welcoming me to the day shift including the General Manager
Wednesday evening I got a call from my ReadyWorkforce boss, Jon who asked about work at IG. Then he tells me that the GM has called and requested that I not return at all. Fired again ha ha ha.
I had put in for 4 days off to do the Conscious Living Expo here in Perth a month ago. The GM didn't like that.
The Expo was extremely low customer turn out. Sunday was OK and I paid for the booth.
Monday Jenny brings by the Camper Van that I have inheritied as it got tagged by the Police as needing much repair.
Monday arvo the Dove Camper man said that it was worth repairing. I got Tires, windshield washer, points, plugs, tune up light.
Tuesday I ran it across the pits and I already knew that I would be knocked back as it wasn't ready yet. I got a 21 day extension and a warning that the ball joint was ready to go.
Thursday I just had a phone call to the Mechanic for the ball joint. Might be able to get one out of Japan in 6-8 weeks else none are available. The carburator is shot and we have had it rebuilt before $300. The engine is pissing oil $300 - $500. The Transmission is leaking too and rebuild is about $900. The brakes are shot and need complete everything $800. The LP needs to be certified and that is another $600. And at the end all that I would have is an old van.
Bugger it is depressing.
Well, my savings are still entact and I can go and buy a newer version from the Dove Camper man ha ha ha. Hmmm might be able to put the tires of the old onto the new one
Well, this is a short one.
blessing to all
peace
