REAL ESTATE BARGAIN

[worldcat lemon]

I might look at buying something near Beaufort so I can visit TCM on a daily basis. Park my truck on the road going into the marina with a great big sign in the bed. Not a bad plan!!!!!!!!!

I wish your nephew well, but "set" isn't the term I would have picked. Unless the work is way better up there than here, it's an "honest" living at best. And that's when the customer's are paying on time. Not trying to be negative, but alot of folk's think I'm rollin' in it. While I have not missed any meal's, everything I own is old. But an honest living in this day and time is something to be thankful for.
My parent's (both of them) and their family's are from up there. I spent a lot of summer day's ( and a few winter day's)there with my grandparent's. I just went back for the first time in 30 year's this past spring, pretty much a "drive by". Took some picture's of the place's that were special to me. Funny how my memory and fact's don't exactly line up though. I had the pleasure of knowing some really good folk's from there, coming up. Alot of fond memory's. I gotta say the one thing that screw's with my friend's mind's dwon here is when I tell hem about ice fishing with my grandfather. He would build a big old fire out there on the ice, never melted through. Yep, fond memory's! Frank

Yup, got you on the mechanic thing, most guys he works for boat wise, are my friends (with some dough) so he's been paid pretty well so far, winterizing, changing oil and filters, and parts etc. He's a hustler, and my wife is a collection agent and does his "books" so we'll see. Ice fishing can be fun, with fires, hockey games etc...don't tell too many though, the ice isn't as thick as when we were kids.........

You must be refering to the first ice age. Frank

Funny....remember when we were kids, the "rule" was, "no going on the ice until after New Year's." Now most lakes everywhere up here are open or have very thin ice. Was up Winnesquam and Winnepesaukee last weekend....not much ice around....
