boat sale?

"Philip" a very pushy boat buyer has ignored my claim that I live far from the boat and cornered me into meeting him there tomorrow afternoon. 

So naturally I have to go early in the day, make everything shipshape before he arrives. 

I just hope he knows the Folkboat design and trusts the legend around the mach. If so I could have a handful of thousands on my pocket. The temptation to add more to it and buy.a small Harley may be more than  I can manage. :)

I have a theory that the love of money brutalizes people. Following "Million Dollar Bogan" on utoob I found an odd fellow that created hijinks on Harleys. His background was on real estate and his gig was to carry on through the day and land on a plush hotel on the evening. His bike was a top range, new machine and he basically had the wherewithal to buy his way out of  any situation he got into. But all this was hidden. On the vids you saw this queer little guy sweating over the roads and swearing that he would "not giveup". Don't get me wrong, he has dome some epic journeys, but I would argue that having a bottomless pit of money to flog on bikes, food and accommodation and flights, as well as the luxury of not having to work much, and its much more achievable even before you kick the bike into gear. What let the guy down was, that he is totally soulless. A total loose canon who revered nothing beyond high income and expenditure. He was effectively playing at motorcycle touring. Whether he was corrupted beforehand or after he secured millions of dollars in assets, is anyone's guess but l suspect the dollars have not helped. 

So too the guy doing conveyancing on my new property. His favorite things are flipping properties, along money and telling customers how intelligent or hard working he is. There are signs that he hasn't always been so conceited, so perhaps his excessive income overamy decades, has rotted his soul. A bit harsh? Perhaps so, but they're not Robinson Crusoes.
