It looks like he hasent been at the shop in a few weeks, and the nice message done in lipstick is quite curious.... I figure he's deep in "Crackhead-Ville" by the looks of things.
So I head over to his house...... to see if theres any answers there..
Nope, only more questions....
Like who's this guy, and WTF is going on in Mikes backyard?
This is "Miguel", and hes re-doing Mikes landscaping, irrigation, patio-cover, sod, and drainage. Also says the house is geting painted. Thats allot of work for someone who's flat broke.
Miguel goes on to tell me Mike is on vacation up in Washington, fishing he thinks. I ask him if the toyhauler went? Nope, just the Dmax, and the wife and kids... Hummm......
So, I send Mikes cell phone the photo of Miguel, and a note as to WTH is going on? I dont figure on a response, Mike hasent returned any of my calls for months.
HOLY SHIT!! My phone is ringing... its Mike. I guess that photo got his attention.
He answers... " Hi Bob, how have you been buddy!"
I get right into it.... about WTF is up with the house, my money, members parts, vacation in Washington, and everything else.
He tells me that he's dealing with familly issues in Washington. I ask him... "for two weeks?". He says its only been 10 days....
I ask him wheres my money? He says he dosent have it
I ask him wheres everyone parts? He says the powdercoaters
I remind him he has gave that answer for a year, he says he knows.
I remind him the last time I saw him, ( Jan 2nd , sitting across his dining room table) he said that he was going to get a price, and we were to meet at the powdercoaters on the 7th or 8th and get the stuff out. He says he has NO MEMORY of this conversation.... WTF!!!! You gotta be kidding me!!!!!
I ask him about all the house fixing up, he says all Miguel is doing is " sprinkling a little grass seed around".... He tells me this as I watch Miguel knock down the patio cover. I tell Mike he's full of shit... like the time he said he didnt have Agents AR-15 tools, then .. all of a sudden... he remembers ... and whammo...... they materialize in a tool box drawer.
Mike tries to get me off the phone, says " he's with people and cant talk right now".. I tell him he full of shit again, and who evers he's with knows that he's a rip off artist and full of shit too....... He says hes going to call me back on Monday.... I remeind him that he's never called me back when he's promised too. I tell him I'm on a one way street with him... He asked whats that supposed to mean?
I explain I'm the one having to make this happen. I'm the one rattling his cage. I'm the one making every contact. I tell him that if he had any intention of paying me back, or making things right with you guys.. HE WOULD BE THE ONE MAKING THE CALLS!!!
He says thats not true.
I offer him a chance to make things right.... TODAY. I tell him to give me the name and the contact person at the powdercoaters, and I will go there right now and pick the stuff up... whatever the cost may be... I'll pay it. I tell him to call, and tell them " my driver is coming over.... a big dude in a white D-Max.. .give him all the parts. He will pay for it when he gets there".
Mike says no.
I tell him " Why the fuck not... oh yea... I know.. theres no fucking parts to pick up.. is there?
He says there is....
I tell him again... Then give me the powdercoaters address, and I'll get the shit right now.
Again, he says "Nope, No way"....
You tell me...... you think there are any parts ? Where in fuck is Agents frame.. the one I took a photo of in Nov. 2008??? Were is any of it ? Wheres Jay Lewis's stuff??
Mike keeps trying to hang up, I keep badgering him..... he finaly says we will talk next week when he gets back... and hangs up.
I have no idea if he means it or not. I have no idea if we will ever see our stuff, I have no idea about any of this.....
All I know is I cant remember the last time Mike told the truth about anything.
I guess we'll see next week Hoon's......
"the game of life of is not so much in holding a good hand as playing a poor hand well"
... just kiding jay
