Micro-economies

Burnout learned about FAIR TRADE today. I contacted him last night to let him know Da wanted him to show up today (satyrday) for mowing services. This was an arrangement we set up when Da was starting PhysTherapy and I was hip deep in everything else with little time to for other stuff. Da was willing, Burnout needed some extra income, so I put the two together and it worked.

Today, Burnout shows up in my Driveway with his car and a box full of new parts with that pleading look,,,, Sure,,,, coils Plugs, vavle covers and gaskets, not hateful really, and while I had other plans, this would work for my benefit too.

(obviously NOT his car, but the pic fits with the last few weeks, even if that is a 318, not a 350.)(and I could be wrong, it may be a big block but I am not familiar with BB’s)

He mosey’s on down to Da’s, does his thing, I unlock Bloo’s boxes and get bizzy. Hour or so,, nothing rough.

And about the time I was sitting back for an adult beverage, Burnout comes out of the woods between Da and my places. The $50 Da gave him goes into my pocket. No extra money in his world, but his ‘hicle is running better and more reliable again and everyone is happy for the exchange.

No Grumps Satyrday,,,

I still need to get under the house and work on reinforcing the joists so I can get started on that mass heater for the upcoming winter. Idid get some slate and sandstone (good flat stuff, easily worked.) this morning before the mek-a-nickin’ stuff arrived.

Life continues forward,,, fits and starts, but forward.

More tomorrow as I think of something to talk about.
