Hello Guys;
Needless to say I have not been on the computer very much in the past year dealing with the wife's Cancer, possible foreclosure looming over us, what to do with all our stuff, and where do we go, etc.,etc.. Well Esther's Cancer is still in remission and I guess if anything really matters that's it.
So with that said here is the other stuff update. We lost the home and had to be out the 18th. of march. After 9 months trying to get a modification of the loan (what a joke) then 4 short sales getting screwed over by the Bank, Duh ? We also had lost our, Esther's, Kitty that died in the back of our SUV on the way to the Vet's. That took Esther to the brink. But, with the help from some great friends and family we were able to buy a double wide in a senior mobile home park in Hemet, CA . This will only be relevant to those that know anything about Hemet. HA!! We rented 2 very large Storage units to store our stuff and a spot in a 200 plus RV Storage Place to put our 22 foot enclosed car carrier. We were waiting to get a larger spot since we had 3 trailers and they let us know that a spot had opened up the end of march. The trailer had our last load of stuff from our, my, garage. I went over to move the Trailer April 1st. and when I pulled up to the small spot the trailer was not there. I went to the large spot thinking that maybe the manager had rented the small space and moved the trailer. Yep, it was stolen. The place had all kinds of RV's and they took our trailer. No one knew were we stored it or what was in it, and that was the last straw for both of us.
We had loaded the complete drive train for the Conestoga, a ZZ-4 engine a new Hi-Po 700R-4 Trans, a new rebuilt 10 bolt Nova posi Rear End, complete new suspension, new complete AC system, the top piece over the tailgate, with the glass and trim. Then there was all the rebuilt and new carbs, the alternators, manifolds, intakes and exhausts for both the Studebaker and the wife's Mercury. New Drive Shafts for both, the hood for Esther's Mercury. Not to mention the tools, so I wont bother you with all of it. Yes we did have insurance on the trailer so it should be easy to replace, sure it will. With about $3,700.00 in upgrades alone and it being a 2005 Wells Cargo which is worth more now then what it sold for new and figuring the content lost was at least $15,000.00 and the contents are only covered up to $3,200.00. Well you can see we've no chance of building either one since our income is set by Social Security and we are just getting by. I don't know what kind of chance we have against the RV Storage Lot for their negligence but it will need to be looked in to. The chained and locked gate had been lifted off the rollers and swung open as it was for the other 2 or 3 stolen within the past 6 weeks.
So we are waiting to see if we will be made whole or not and of course it will be not and therefore we shall loose even more when we start selling them off.
Will keep you up to date and if you see stuff for sale while down in Mexico? HA!!
Not the way good people should end up at 65 and 69
Hoping for the Best, Expecting the worst.
Roger & Esther
PS: Maybe a new Kitty will help? Probable wont even be able to afford what she wants. So what's new. Hey, Cancer is in remission, what more do we need, right?
