Triumphant Thursday Travails Turned Totally Terrific!

Hello everyone here in Wealthy Affiliate!

First of all, I had a very pleasant evening after my job with Monica, who picked me up and took me over to her house for a couple of hours.

On the way there, she saw a snake in the road, so we circled back and took some pictures of it, while she also managed to flag down some police officers too.

We chatted with them for a while, until another officer showed up to remove the snake, which he said was a small constrictor, likely a pet that someone let loose.

After that impromptu adventure, we continued on to her house (my former residence).

As I wrote before, Godtilla was there too. She was picked up later that night.

It was a really relaxing time after all I went through on Tuesday!

It was eventually time for her to drive me back to the eBay house after a nice evening on the deck I built,

We stopped at Sonic on the way back for a Sonic Blast, but I didn't bother with images for that.

This morning, I was up and at in the Wealthy Affiliate Community. That went smoothly, and didn't take too long. Even though, I woke up early, I felt like the Energizer Bunny!

Kitty decided to remain in bed. Monica called around 8:30, and we talked off an on for a few hours, until she had to go to a doctor's appointment for one of her hands again. I hope that goes well.

At that time, I ventured outside to catch a couple of images of the new day, to include the title image.

We were in the high 60s at the time.

It was a sun cloud mix today, and we are expected to reach the mid 80s.

I have been working on a second full edit of my HV#1 Story, turning it into an eBook.

This will be an ongoing task, and I believe it will be ready to start publishing after the second edit. This might take a couple of days though.

It was finally time to go to my locksmith job scheduled for today on Tuesday.

This was the house I went to. I was there for about 3-45 minutes.

Fortunately, I was able to fix both lock mechanisms on the combo set. My buddy Kevin called me when I was outside in the truck writing up a bill, and we talked for a few minutes before I went back inside to give them a bill.

I didn't charge them anything but a service call, and she was a senior so I added a discount. When she got the bill, she said, "That's Cheap, are you sure?"

She went on to tell me that the other locksmiths she called had quoted her in the range of $175 -$300. The problem is, I don't like to gouge people, and the job took around a half hour more or less. The hardest part had been getting the front door open.

I billed her $60 since all that had to be done was disassemble both locks retrieve a screw that had come out inside one, lube everything and reinstall them. They had become very loose over the years.

Now they were as good as new. She added another $15 onto that because I had saved her money. I was happy and she was happy--I just pay things forward because I know times are tough right now. She said she will definitely use me again!

It had been cloudy for a bit, but when I got back to the eBay house--not even 2 miles away, the sun was out again.

I have been finishing up this post, doing editing, and awaiting the results of Monica's appointment.

Since I have heard nothing by the state about my DL, this is risky when I go out, but I feel God is looking out for me.

The rest of this evening will be spent on the computer with both Wealthy Affiliate tasks and some more editing.

I TRUST THAT EVERYONE HAD A TERRIFIC THURSDAY--ANOTHER FRISATSU'S EVE ALREADY. MINE HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD!

Sincerely,

Jeff, the BLOG DOGS, and Kitty

Good morning Jeffoi! It’s 0330 in the morning! I am still in Greek time, and as I have been tossing in bed, I might as well get a little productive and continue my unfinished laundry, and be in the computer to continue cleaning up emails.

While in the process, I saw a constrictor on your post!

Never a dull moment for you!

What’s with the other dog - it looks fierce?

How would you resolve the issue with your DL, Jeffoi?

It is heartwarming when you give your senior citizen discounts to qualified citizens. “ what goes around, comes around “ ~ you make me proud Jeffoi!!!

Your holiday is coming! I would like to thank you for your services 🙏🏼

I pray that your DL issues be resolved soon- as it is a very unsettling feeling until that gets settled!

May you have a great day when you wake up Jeffoi!

Cheers,
Maria 🌹

Good morning, Marioi!
Never a dull moment.

That was the German Shepherd pup, that Monica's oldest daughter just had to have, but left it at the house to be tended by everyone else, and was the ultimate reason that the Blog Dogs were banned to the eBay house for almost 2 years.

Nothing to do but wait with the Holiday coming. Besides, it expires next month anyway.

Thanks, Marioi! That is simply what I do!

It is an unsettling feeling, but I must remember that God is in control!🙏

I'll be taking a nap soon, but Monica woke me up with a call on her way to her, so I'm knocking a few things out!

Enjoy your Frisatsu!

Jeffoi

Since I am still off ( and trying to recover from the super high-strung vacation), this in itself is enjoying my Frisatsu!
And am almost done with my mountain of laundry! I’m just folding them now! 😊

It’s a beautiful day Jeffoi, enjoy it!

Cheers,
Maria 🌹

Hi Jeff.

It was nice of you to discount that ladies' bill. You will be her go-to for any more jobs she wants to have done. She will also recommend you to her friends.

Now your snake. Sorry Jeff but you think that's a snake! You want to see the size of some of 'em in Bulgaria. There's also this massive grasshopper type of thing. It's the length of your arm and can those big boys jump!

Happy FriSatSu.

Laters,
Paul

Hey, Jeff

Cool snake! 😎

What’s wrong with that dog that you call it Godtilla? Very aggressive?

Great Energizer Bunny! 😂

Happy FriSatSuMo Memorial Day weekend, and Thank You for your service! 🇺🇸

Frank 🤘🎸

Thanks, Frank! 🐍

She was the reason the Blog Dogs got banned to the eBay house! The oldest daughter who was never around wanted her own dog, and the two other kids resented that because she was a bit aggressive with the other two.

Happy Frisatsumo Memorial Day too, and thank you for yours as a "Rock" Doctor!

Jeff😎🤘🎸

Haha, Thanks, Jeff! 😎

Have a great day & try to relax a little over the long weekend. 🍻
Frank 🤘🎸

Wow, Jeff! That snake! I can’t get over those pics. Glad nobody got hurt. So nice that you helped those folks out. I’ll bet the we’re pleasantly surprised. Glad you got out for Sonic…sounds like a good day. Have a great evening.

Susan 🐶😹🐶

I was totally surprised too, Susan! I just do what I do, my friend! I treat others like I would like to be treated. They were surprised, and I was surpised when they gave me a generous tip too! All in all, it was a good day, and I trust that yours was too!

I hope you have had a GREAT evening!

Jeff🐶😹🐶

I knew you would, Jeff as that’s who you are! 👍🏻 I’m glad you had a good day,,,mine was too! 🐶😹🐶

Thank you, Susan! I am glad to hear yours was, as well!

Happy Frisatsu!

Jeff🐶😹🐶

Happy Frisatsu, my friend! 🐶😹🐶

Thanks, Susan! Happy Frisatsu! Hope your day is going well!

Jeff🐶😹🐶

Okay we just pick up a snake!!!what are we mad!! Anyways I would just go clear up the situation with the license.....I hate you get arrested.....you have me worried..... you went to Sonic.....that's nice......I know you respect people and all the good will come back to you.......take care.......

No, the cops did, Antonietta! I would if they took their calls or sisn't take 10 days to respond. This is what we pay taxes for and it is a joke. I don't want to get arrested either, but I also don't want to go broke either. Thank you! Things will work out in the end! Hope you had a GREAT day! Take care!

How nice, that you consider the plight of a senior citizen, with few resources. I am always appreciative of such a find. I have an auto mechanic who treats me that way, bless his heart! I'd have trouble affording repairs, otherwise.

Hope your day ends in a wonderful way.

I always do, Fran. I'll be there very soon too. "Do unto others as you would like them to do to you"

It has so far, and I appreciate the kind wishes.🙏

Great that you had a good day my friend - and very nice to give that customer a break too!

Thanks, LD! I hope you did too, my friend!

Jeff🙏

Definitely a good day, Jeff.

Mine has been ok. I cleaned the stove, my folks' shower, and my shower tub this morning and have been lazy the rest of the day. I was going to mow and weed-eat, but we got rained on.

JD

I'll say it was, JD!

Sounds like you have been busy, and sorry about the rain, my friend!

Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Jeff

I intend to. We had leftovers from last night. Then I took a shower and now am relaxing.

I am thinking about posting the recipe for what I cooked last night. If I do I am thinking of calling it "Poor Mans Alcohol-Free Chicken Marsala".

It was good.

JD

Sounds good on all counts, JD!

Sleep well, my friend!

Jeff

You too, Jeff.

Goodnight

JD

Will do, JD! Thank you!

Jeff😴

Good to hear you are helping others Jeff… it always comes back around my friend!

Thanks, Jerry! I just pay forward what other people have done for me out of the blue! We all need to help each other! Hope all is going well!

Jeff
