First of all i would like to apologize for my tardiness on viewing all of your art.
As most of you know i lost my job due to the winter storm this December that destroyed our marinas
ability to rent slips, on top of paying three different salvage companies about 40K just to save the place and rescue every customers boat...we only received one thank you by the way(ungrateful pricks)
and we also saved the insurance companies money on all of the boats...


now to why i am writing this journal tonight
when you lose a job after all the hard work you put into it, it kicks you in the gut so hard. at first
i was angry for them not telling me sooner, that this closing of our jobs was coming soon,,,
instead it was over in a matter of minutes..then after some on it, i came to this conclusion
it is ok that this happened. when i arrived at this job, the marina was a F&^%$#@ dump,,i started cleaning up stuff right away..berries ten feet tall,engine blocks in those berry bushes...and so on.
and we achieved Clean Marina status, a big deal for me,,,we were #13 in the state.
but it dawned on me that i had finished my task here,,i mean that everything i saw 8 years ago in my dreams of this marina finally came to be. all the repairs, the house remodeled, all sewer systems re dug and trenched,,(i worked my ass off on that two year project)learned all about hows and too's of septic system reworkthe worst part of the job was that stuff..and the body that i pulled from the marina basin,poor Gramps, fell in and drowned on a hot summer day with nobody to help him(bless his soul)
many memories here at this place...but all is done and job completed so for those of you that believe in Karma, it is so very true..because i feel that this was part of my destiny..
it has been ten days since, and things are just fine with me..thanks to all of your support and friendship. i am going on a driveabout in my new Honda truck down south to the Crater Lake Wilderness area..as many of you know i love to camp...to breath again...
and i will finish in Eastern Oregon(hells canyon) i hope...i might stay down in the Sisters wilderness
(Bend Oregon area)who knows... i will bring you some photos of some truly remarkable country.

so bare with me for awhile
and thank you Watchers and Friends for being there, i look forward to your art and your comments..
have a great day good friends, and other people, who read other peoples journals [link] [link] [link]
