Trip for Two to Hawaii?


Trade seven offers are rolling in. What should I trade for the boat? Here is a good one, a trip for two to Hawaii, to stay for a week in the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort. I like the sound of that! I have also had trade offers for an RV with lot rental, a 33 foot cargo trailer (with air conditioning), a heating and cooling system from Trane and a 1972 Triumph motorcycle. All great trade offers.

Time to put the boat up for trade unfortunately


Alright, I guess I have to do it! I have been having a great time with the boat, Hillsdale Lake, Smithville Lake, Longview Lake (many times) but it is time to put the boat up for trade. Probably better strategy to trade it before the whole summer is gone. The family wants me to stop trading at the boat but I still have a way to go. Miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep. Robert Frost, I said that poem with my pants unzipped in freshman English class. Welcome back horrible memories! Here is a picture of the boat again glimmering in the sun, I guess I will take trade offers now. The boat comes with the trailer and some skis, lots of life jackets, no Blazer, sorry that blew up but I traded that for some upholstery work so the inside looks better. Send the trade offers to me jason@goldenpaperclip.com.

Fire, Water, and the Olathe Police (Again)

Bad News, the Blazer blew up! Literally. I was taking the Blazer for a ride with my buddy Shawn and after dropping him off he said, "This floor is really hot, check it out, smoke!" So I said, yeah, this old beast runs hot. Then I took off and got just over the railroad tracks and it caught on fire, three foot of fire. The fire department came, the Olathe police, it was chaos. So I was in trouble again with the Olathe Police (see go kart post for last time- apparently they don't allow go karts on College Boulevard in Olathe) and they were not too happy this vehicle was not registered in my name. I had to explain my trading at least eight times but they let me go without handcuffs! So now the Blazer has blown up. I guess that was to be expected, she was pretty old and decrepit. So I would like to trade the Blazer for upholstery work on the boat, anyone want to trade that? Don't worry, the boat is fine, she is a sweet water slicing 17' machine and the trade was still a good one but the Blazer is no more.
