Fay called
the Fish and game director about doing a fish hatchery and yes it is
possible to do and there is money available to build and operate it in the
form of a grant. It will take time. He is sending her the proposed
requirements for building the facility. They require about five acres for
what we want to build. We would hatch the fry from eggs they would provide,
we would raise them to about Ten inches and they would plant them in various
streams in southern California. He said we could also raise them for the
eggs for the first year's hatch. There is a demand for other species of
fish as well and he is sending their requirements also.
The city said for us to have our
contractor come to them and they could work all the details for the
mobile and RV parks. By the time the land has cleared escrow they could
have all the paperwork ready. Fay called the contractor that built our
building and he would very much like to do this project for us. He is
very familiar with shoreline building. He said the swamp area could be
to our advantage for fill dirt and for a inland marina for both
facilities. I told Fay to proceed with the purchase of the land.
Fay was jumping up and down when I went
to her office. He accepted the deal and she was beside herself with
excitement. Kay, I love the way you do things, are you doing this by
yourself? At this point I am but we will see how it goes after the land
is paid for. Lets go to lunch and talk about it. Fay is becoming my
personal secretary and she loves doing it. We arrived at the Harbor
House for lunch and Fay was full of questions. Now you're talking a
marina or two? yes two will work much better and we can have launch
ramps and storage areas for trailers for each park The mobile park will
need boat storage in the marina for the owners as well as on land in an
RV storage for the residents who live there. As soon as we close escrow
I want billboards on the property with visuals of the proposed designed
parks. The contractor for my building should be able to help us out. I
will call him this afternoon and ask him for an architect.
I went shopping for drafting paper and
supplies to come up with some ideas for the property. I found a place
that could make a large copy of the plot plan and give me a scale to
work with to make it work for me. I had six copies made to sketch on.
Now I had my work cut out for me. I spent the rest of the day figuring
out what to do with the property. Fay called to tell me the contractor
who built my building and the architect both would like to meet with me
tomorrow at the property. Fay also said she was putting the property
into escrow tomorrow if it's ok? I said for her to wait until I talk to
everyone at the property tomorrow and she said Ok.
I went to bed thinking I was spending
way too much on this project. I see myself saying things that I have
heard my dad say when I lived at home. Am I becoming my dad or have I
learned things I don't realize that I know. I say the same things the
same as he did and they work for me. As a teenager living at home I had
little respect for my dad, but as an adult I realize he was working even
when he was watching the news or his favorite TV show. I once resented
him for being a womanizer but now I understand it was only sex. How do
two people have sex for thirty five years without going crazy? They
don't have sex with each other.
My mother told me one time that she had
sex with the pastor of her church when she was seventeen and he told her
that it was his duty to do it and God would love her for it. After
several times she really learned to like it and she wanted to do it more
and the pastor told her they couldn't do it anymore. She went to his
wife and asked her why God wanted her to and now she can't. His wife
told her to find a young man her age and he would show her what to do.
The next Sunday the pastor and his wife had moved away and the church
was closed until a new pastor moved to town. She married my dad a few
months later and she never told him about the pastor but she knew he had
several girl friends before her and she new about most of them all the
time they were married. He was a heavy drinker and when I was born they
stopped having sex and soon after that she met a man that was much
younger than her and she found it easy to find younger men to please
her. She had a strong passion for sex and she could not stand the smell
of my dad or his drinking and smoking. The women he met left their smell
in his laundry and my mother really didn't care after awhile. He was a
good provider and he was gone most of the time and when he was home he
was drunk and she was raising me.........KB
