Closet Hoarder!

[Deep C]

Most of my rants are about things that bug me in the outside world. Some though require that I look at myself as the source of irritation.
Life requires balance... On the boat I'm a neat freak. Every last little thing in its proper place the smallest speck of dust wiped up as I walk by. The room of death, my garage and my office though are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
As I have been prepping for this years Bahama run, each trip through my garage and the room of death I have been tidying up. Not to the point of immaculate mind you but at least back to organized. My office gets a whirlwind clean up a couple times a year but usually falls back into disarray pretty quick.

Today was busy on the boat and on the home front. Time for tidying up insurances. Last month I fired Geico as my carrier for my cars. Won't detail all the reasons but lets just say they are scumbags of the first degree. Still havn't seen my refund for unused premiums despite a few calls. The gal on the other end of the phone really pissed me off when she tried to tell me I didn't cancel til last week. Well, I had printed proof otherwise and needed to find it to fax over to them.
Got me digging around. Found and sent it. Now I had a pile of papers laying around and the clean up chromosome kicked in.

When I'm on a mission don't get in my way. I move real quick. This time was no exception except along the way I stopped to look at shit that was getting tossed. Sweet sufferin succotash! I got to my filing cabinet and it was a trip down memory lane. I'm talkin shit that goes way back. Like my original check to a lawyer to incorporate my lure company.
I was awestruck that its been so long since I did a run through like this. Anyone want a 1994 Mustad Catalog? I can tell you now in detail every word said in several traffic court speeding ticket cases. My wins and my losses and one of those losses that I got back when I appealed (did that myself )... Christmas Cards from "Vice president Bush".
Found pics I haven't seen forever. Some happy some sad. Pics of me with a dark mustache, some of fish I didn't even remember, then some of friends no longer with us including Ed Murray. Photos of Earnhardts jet they used to fly me in and out on.Pics of my Dad and others of Mini as a Baby.
I could see some of the stuff like the photos...but others? Nah... I had credit card statements from cards cancelled twenty years ago. I dug deper. What the hell am I doing with warranty papers for a VHS player or instructions to a loran... A photo copy of a check I got for a tuna in 1984? Buy one get one free coupons for 35mm film? Notes to self written on cocktail napkins? Holy crap Deep...Nahh... That aint right... You're a closet hoarder...
So tonight its "get it right night" at the rectangle office here at Castle Deep...

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!! I just found a scrap of paper that is going to not only save me zillions but get me a kick back for 12 years of over paying property tax...
We homestead exempted back in Jan of 98, the same year they put a cap on increases. I didn't know about the cap. By 2004 our tax bill was astronomical and I looked into it. Went to county and pointed out the increases in our case were illegal. They said the had no record of exemption. I argued and they said only the original receipt could fix it and yes the fix would be retroactive.
I was indeed exempted from that point forward but the 98 rate was only a couple grand a year. The '04 rate had jumped to near 10 large! Thats 8k over for the last six and from 98 to 04 the total for those years is roughly 25 on top of that!
Well tonight I found that little gem with all the official seals and stamps on it...
I think I'm gonna go boat shopping!

who cares??? talk about a trivial and inane post

Yes PS... Accurate description and won't argue but. If however you have followed these utterly pointless blammerings of mine through the years you would be aware that they are designed to be exactly that. Not supposed to be informative. Nothing more than illustrations in color of the mundane parts of life we all share and often overlook...

admin should put a camera on you and do a reality show. Oh yeah you already tried that when you made that special birthday video for luckylady. That thing, in retrospect, might make you take up drinkin again.

It was for another member... get it right...

The bottle and I are fully seperated and will stay that way from here on out. When it owned me, I was a lot like you. Introverted and thought life should be kept private and boring... Doing this stuff is what keeps me away from it... Thanks for your concern.
