No one has any answers as to if/when this lady is going to sign this single form she has to sign to allow this property deal to go through.  It's been 5 days now since this information came to light about the need for her to sign off on it.  There isn't really anything else to say about it excepting if it doesn't close by Friday, my lender will have to do another credit check and a new interest rate depending on the market. 

The boat.  I called them since they don't call me and found out they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They said they ran it for a long, long time in their shop, turned it off. Then fired it up, off, on off, etc and it simply wouldn't do what it did to us on the lake that last time we were out.  I mean, if they can't get it to - not work - they can't get it to not work.  They then said they would come up with an estimate to fix the steering which he agreed was pretty bad and I also asked them to see if they had an old ladder on one of their junk boats they could install on mine.  

Can't jump out of the boat for a swim without a ladder to get back onto it.  Or if a person accidentally fell off?  They'd have to be hoisted back in cause' honey, there ain't no way most people are going to be able to climb back onto that thing without a ladder to climb up on it.  Once I get it back, I'll install a second, separate battery for a trolling motor which I will also need to buy.  And we need to get the bluetooth stereo working on it, there is no music to be had and that's kind of - important, depending on what we're doing.  If that thing that's on there won't work, I'll buy a new one and put new speakers on it as well.  

I'm too far into that boat to not finish it now.  It's old but it doesn't leak and the upholstery was all redone on it.  I figure if the motor won't start again like it did last time, we'll just use the troll motor until it fires back up. I don't know what else to do. I've had it in that shop twice now and another one once.  Keep my eyes and ears open for someone that knows those BlackMax motors.  If we got into a real pickly, my insurance will pay for someone to come out and rescue us lol.  

So far, they have been keeping up with empty trailers in Brownsville. I know my company got tired of having drivers tied up waiting down there - most of us were quite fine with it.  I haven't gotten any detention time in a couple of months now, no one has.  The plant is back up to 2 loads per day, about the first time they order 3 loads in one day is the most likely scenario of them getting behind again.  It was always nice to have a reprieve of sitting around doing nothing and getting paid for it.

I suppose there's more going on but it's late and I'm tired.  Long two days - was up til 1 am getting down there last night and now it's almost midnight.
