Not a bad day

[LizStreithorst]

A pretty depressing start to the day.  I called my old wholesaler early hoping on an off chance that they might want 200 smalls.  Tammy said no.  She told me that they were in the process of selling the business to some big place in FL and that they no longer had any fish there.  They're not much more than mom and pop and a few employees and they could no longer make a living.
 
Work wasn't a total disaster.

My new fish friend who is also a chef brought me some chili that he won a chili cook off with.  Oh my God.  It was incredible.   It was made with sausage, crab meat, and shrimp and it was Cajun hot. He also brought me 4 chocolate covered strawberries decorated for Valentine's day.  Wasn't that sweet?
 
Then Chip called and wanted me to come look at the truck that Brian the towing guy finally delivered that is to be Charlotte's donor truck.  The truck is a gold mine of good parts.  The parts I wanted came to $350.  Brian wanted $600 for the entire truck.  So I bought a truck that I had a good engine, an automatic transmission that will fit right in Charlotte because Charlotte was made for it, another AC compressor that was nearly impossible to find.  If Charlotte needs it, I have it.  Chip told Brian that I would take it for $600. if he delivered it to my place.  I have a wrecked truck tucked away next to my falling down Katrina house.  I might be a redneck.

Finally both my boxes of fish arrived on time, alive and well.   It's always a relief to hear that.

A clone for Charlotte?...that's great!..now she'll be good for many years to come 

Lucky you....good chili is always a treat  ...plus having the boxes arrive on time and in good shape ...now that's a really nice day
