Happy Spring 2012 to my readers. I left the boat last Friday, early morning, and traveled the I-95 down to West Palm Beach where my new landlord, Lee, totally screwed me and hung me out to dry. He said he was very sorry, but the current house tenant wanted the whole house and not me to share it. So what to do now?? I rented a room at Motel8 for $110 bucks! Then reserved Sat night at the Red Roof using a free night certificate, and paid for Sunday night there, about $88 bucks. Over the weekend I contacted dozens of rentals, but no one wanted to rent to me month-2-month, only annual or semi-annual. I finally found a studio apartment in Singer Island for $850 a month, with a two month minimum. I am here now. :) It is very nice, only about a tenth of a mile from the beach, and only 2 1/2 miles from Lake Park, FL where I am actively house hunting. Bummer that I still have not found something, after looking at several dozen properties in the WPB to Jupiter areas, but I have high hopes. The pic is the place I am renting until I can find a property to purchase...one I can afford and that does not require too much to return it to livable condition. Damned shame what these "owners" have done to homes, vis-a-vis last post of mine, which I'll not repeat. The weather is gorgeous and I am having some good times. I am missing Sue a lot though.... Hope to see her soon, perhaps.
