Tom Came Through

He got me an offer for 4,000 and I jumped on it.

Then he said the title copy I sent him had northern steel as a lien holder.

It's an old title.  They collateralized my truck to guarantee repairs.  They signed off on it when they got their money back, and I went to the title office.  I gave that to Korena...thank God.

And she has power of attorney.  Thank God, because I can't send or receive faxes or even print emails here.

So she'll have to sign the bill of sale for me anyway.  I told him to write the cashiers check to her as well.

My total non-bank of ed debt is 4900, and I owe a good part of that to her.

Plus, my bank puts 4-day holds even on cashiers checks.  Korena can get money into my hands instantly via the efs system:

From your efs account, you call and use touchpad input to register an allotment/payout.  Efs gives you an express code.  You then give the payee that express code.  

In this case, that's me.  I go to a truck stop and demand ma munnah.  If I don't have a check they print one out for me.  To cash out efs requires a check and check number.  Efs approves the express code and registers the check, which the truck stop takes to the bank, where it's processed like a normal check.

The same express code can be used repeatedly in any sized increments until the allotment is used up.

I have to cash out before I go to the bank.  The cash is immediately available for me to pay my bills and stuff.

Anyway Korena is already being hounded by freightliner, as she wasn't able to pay the whole repair bill--even had a balance left over from the previous repair.

Because I, one of her drivers, went into the red, all her commissions are being withheld by the carrier.

So it's my moral responsibility to help her out now.  

Well I'm waiting for them to sort it out when she gets back to her office at 1:00.  Then a tow truck will come from who knows where and I'll wait who knows how much longer.

As usual, I'm under the gun.  I need to show 30 days running before we can move, and I need a truck and load asap.

This is a bitch.  I'm going to leave what amounts to a storage locker full of stuff those guys on storage wars would fight over.  I'm sorting out what I absolutely need and leaving the rest.

Good, I guess.  I needed to do that anyway.  Ill have to buy an electric cooler and a 12v cooking thing to replace my fridge and oven.  I got a 12v inverter that I hope will power my sirius radio.  If the rental doesn't have a real inverter, I can't be drilling holes to install mine, so I have to adapt.

I should get towed tomorrow.  I don't know how I'll get the rental, but assume I'll hitch a ride with my truck and stash my stuff wherever they take it.

I don't think they can bring the truck to me, so Korena might come get me, or else I'll have to take a bus or something and come back...jeez I hope she comes and gets me...I LIVE here, and even leaving the bulk of my hoard behind I've got a ton of stuff I need to keep.

Enough to fill up her little car.

The ideal thing would be if the rental came to me right here, but noooo!  

Tom will set up a wire transfer cool.  Thank God I didn't settle for that crook's offer.  Thank God some smart capitalists saw a need and filled it.  Nobody gets screwed (much) and all parties get what they want.

That's capitalism.  The guy that offered me 1500?  That's extortion.
