On The Road Again
I was awakened this morning after a nice long seven hour sleep. I was excited because I have about 16 portfolios that need balancing and adjustments. The market does not open here until 7:30 am so I had plenty of time, or thought I did.
Ya see, now that I am retired I no longer have the padi.com e-mail address. Instead of doing stock stuff, I ended up changing my email in about 23 vendor websites. My new email, if you do not know is brianpaulcronin@gmail.com.
Once I was done with that chore my lovely wife was up and so was the parade of fur. (Our dogs.) Dennis wondered over for a bagel and cup of coffee, then we were off to Camper Land. Yes we pulled the trigger on a Jayco Grayhawk 31 FS. Devin was in charge of the negotiations because she has done all the homework.
Now Devin needs to work on her negotiation skills a bit. As Zach, our salesman brought us the total, she exclaimed, "That's right at what I said they should be!". So much for negotiating. Then we were headed to the finance department.
This is the part that I hate even though this would be a cash deal. You see the last two cars I bought, I made the dealers a deal, give me a fair price and get me out the door in under sixty minutes. BMW did great, 47 minutes. Cadillac took one hour and eleven minutes.
Camper Land set a record. Six minutes. I loved it. I wanted to buy another one it was so painless. I was even asking "Aren't you going to try and sell me Lojack? What about the rust under coating? What fun is this sign and leave?" Anyway here is our prize with Jackman standing outside.
After having a hearty RV type lunch at Virg's
we came home and I was excused to continue working on the portfolios. I enjoyed this a lot. So without further ado, here is the wrap up for the day.
