Default (OT) I'm blessed (right now)

Almost sure I do not deserve it. In the last 6 days I bought a 68 vert and Saturday I bid and won tonight on a beautiful 2 bedroom condo on Lake Murray, La Mesa, 8 miles east of San Diego. I'm overwhelmed by the aligning of the moons whatever you might call it. I call it blessed by God, not to offend anyone out there who prays to squirrels or swamp gas.
Today just found out my bid won on a 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 4 story, 2 1/2 car garage, 2 living rooms, split level. Kitchen is open bar to both living rooms and also has small wet bar. Private patio and jacuzzi. Both bedrooms are master suites. The lay-out is beautiful. A walk outside the 9 unit complex is less then 100 feet from the park's entrance. Nice departuree from the helter skelter of Pacific Beach and all the beach bums and drunk college kids puking on my property every night.



Tonight the title/ bill of sale arrived and just called the previous owner and Cali2 was picked up 8PM pacific time. She'll be here by Thursday!!!

Side note got the latest Mid-America and their 84-96 section blew the hell up! They have everything from every interior piece, all of the engine components, all the computer stuff, the section is by far the biggest part of the mag. I guess those C4's are starting to get old and break down and there's a huge markt out there?????

Thank-you Lord

Congrats Cali! It does appear you have luck in hand. As long as you are happy that is all that matters. Apologies if I ruffled some feathers in a post about these vettes. It was just in semi-humor.

Congrats Cali, happy for ya man!!! Remember how bad things sucked when your 77 got smashed. Brighter days were ahead. Some days a diamond, somedays a stone. Glad all is well. :thumbs:

I'm excited yet scared at the same time. I'm waiting for things to turn horribly sour on me as usual.
