I had coffee with Homa before work yesterday and he said we'll wait for Sasquatch... Or just have a bunch of BBQ. Lol

I tried his "pumpkin dish" he made, but want my cup o squash.

I'm not s miracle worker ...

Lol

Maybe you could arrange for me to catch a fish?

What would you guys like to see for the SNBF-XX this upcoming March?

Hats? Shirts? Posters? Pins?

I was thinking about doing a pre-order bag of goodies, but I want to hear what ideas you would like to see for the epic "Year 20" of the Bat Fight.

Insanity.

Well, I knew something would go awry... already got a text just now saying "I can't make it today".

This literally is mind boggling. 

Yep, I should know the drill right now...  I dropped it off in the morning and he said he would start at 2:00 when he finishes working on another job.  Unfortunately, he wouldn't let me park it in the "razor wired" yard but put me on the street at the end of crack alley where some homeless people were tented out. 

I was not liking this but decided it would probably be good overnight, but I wasn't going to risk anything longer.  He said it should take about 4 hours and overnight to dry and some sanding.  I get home from work and text him how the progress went and if my boat is safe there.  The reply was "I'm not sure how safe your boat is there and I decided I would work on it on Saturday instead"....  Well, after spending an hour in traffic to go only 16 miles home from work... I jumped in my truck during the 5:30pm traffic and drove back down to Morena Blvd to get my boat.  There is no way I'm leaving it there for a weekend on crack alley!

I get home almost 2 hours later and I'm fuming.  Pretty much the entire neighborhood knows that I'm about to explode when my older clueless neighbor walks over and says "How's the boat?  I'm so glad it's fixed....".  She just heard me yell numerous curses out loud and picked the wrong time to walk over.  To make it short, I now have a neighbor mad at me but I guess that's fine.  I wish more people knew how to read the room which would have avoided that mess.  If you see a growling and barking dog, would you go over to pet it?  Seems like an easy answer to me but I guess it isn't to everyone.

Well, I was back on the horn with some other people to fix it and found someone that was willing to do it.  I'm using a friend of a friend, but at least he's been a commercial boat owner for 50 years, so I feel comfortable with him.  Let's see if he comes through or if I have to go to number 7...  I am literally disheartened by all of this and just hope it gets fixed soon.  Work has been more stressful than any job I've had (11 hour days and being micro-managed) with no outlet has been taxing to say the least.

Sorry about the rant, but I needed to get it off my chest before I explode.

Fingers and toes are crossed this time....

I would love to hang out. Got some family stuff happening that requires my presence for a couple weeks at least.

I just hung out with him this morning (prior to having to go into work) and he is so excited to do a fishing, whiskey, and Kabob session.  If you are interested, let me know.  It'll most likely be at Santee Lakes for cats, but Homa will literally be manning the grill the entire time yelling at people to eat the kabobs while they are hot!  He doesn't mess around!
