Thanks, i appreciate it, and yes it is getting better, better than I could have ever imagined. Just got to get past march 1 2024 and I'm gtg. BTW, looking for a job in central or Eastern NC. If anyone knows of a position, I'm done with the self employed thing, would love to find a rep job in the marine industry

With your knowledge of marine engines you should have no trouble at all landing a job.

You know.... in your spare time you could make some You Tube videos on how to fix certain things on an outboard engine. Like how you talked me through replacing the pop off valve on my Mercury engine a few years back. Stuff like that. I'll bet you could make a ton of extra cash that way.

You’re an exceptionally good guy. I hope this brings relief and a really fresh start.

I also think you’re onto something getting away from your own business. You’d be an incredible rep with your hands on experience and having spent decades in my own business, I know it can be a pretty big pain - it can be plenty stressful and often not very profitable.

Looking forward to hearing how you get on as things develop.

things are getting better. I'll probably close my business down in March, planning on moving to Raleigh NC(my home town) once this is finalized. I've applied for an assistant managers position at the west marine in Raleigh, it would be the perfect job for me right now. I have more plans and bigger things' happening, but keeping most of that close for the time being. I've had a greats summer so far, kinda bummed summer is almost over. A lot depends on what happens with teh ex, btw, her cancer came back last summer, she's had surgery, going thru chemo and radiation right now. I'm guessing her boyfriend wasn't prepared to deal with this. I've had some serious mixed feeling s about all this crap. Good news is my girls are doing great in Charlotte. I've been spending more time in Sneads ferry, actually took my sailboat(Isotope) out for a spin a couple weeks ago. I've spent a good amount of time up that way this year. I borrowed a jet ski from the guys I rent from and did a Charleston Harbor trip and a Cooper River trip on it. If any of you guys are in the market for a ski, contact me, the guys I rent from run a jet ski rental company, they have 36 Seadoos up for sale right now. 2023 year model, all unde 100 hours. End of the season sale.

I’m glad things are looking up for you. It sounds like you’re attacking life in a really positive way.
