Life Changes

[Fish Felon]

Life changes----Going good for me....happy, doing decent at work, decent social life, and not this week, but the week before....I bet I spent ten hours fukcing. Not even kidding. I didn't keep accurate track of it but it was no less than seven hours, but I'm betting it was closer to ten, and could be as much as twelve. This week? Probably six or seven hours. My junk fukcing hurt last week....like, sore all week. I've never fukced this much in my life. I always considered myself kind of a lame lay until these last couple chicks....not sure what changed but I've been having crazy sex....like porn star sex where chicks are rolling off me and tapping out while in full-body muscle-shaking-and-pulsating orgasms. So yeah....life has been very good lately.

Fukced my girlfriend in the women's restroom at a bar tonight....sat her ass on the counter next to the sink and railed her....multi-stall women's bathroom without a lock on the door....neither of us gave a fukc......

Then fukced her again an hour and a half later back at her place.....

Now going to sleep for a couple hours and go deer hunting.

So beat off h2ofwlr....figuratively and literally.....haters gonna hate but I don't care

Living the dream lol

So my dad is trying to sell his co too. Had a phone call with the broker and prospective buyer today. Because I hold my dad's contractor license.

I kinda feel terrible that I don't want to take over his hard work. But I was in the same industry 14 yrs and it blows. It changed so much in the time I was in even.

Buyers is asking all these questions like will I stay on a bit so they have the contractors license til they get things settled, teach him estimating software, do I want to stay on and work.

I'll do anything that helps my dad, he's too old to be working this hard. But it's like mf'er, why would you think I'd work for you when I don't want to take over the business myself. One of those things where mentally I'm calling the guy a dumbass, but trying to play as nice as possible for my dad.

It amazes me there's buyers of businesses out there that have absolutely zero background in it...and purely look at cash flows etc. It's grounds for absolute destruction. From my 15 min conversation it appears this guy has zero construction background at all. I couldn't imagine buying a business in an industry I have zero experience and expect it to pan out a-ok. It'd be like me buying a ballet studio

Yea don’t buy a business if it’s new territory. That’s asking for trouble.

Asking the current owner and/or management to stay on for awhile is pretty common in certain industries and can add big dollars to the sale price. I’m my industry it can add 25-50%. My neighbor sold a decent size construction company and they paid him big bucks to stay on for 5 years minimum to be the COO. They have bought a ton of shit since he sold it so I think they are doing pretty good with the deal.

[maplelakeduckslayer]

Ya I get that but I'm not even an employee lol. My dad needed someone to be a qualifying person to hold the contractors license when his employee left...since I geld a contractor license when I sold my business was perfect fit. I know nothing about construction that's how f'd up this state is. I have a contractors license lol. I mean I'm not s complete retard but I shouldn't be trusted to build a deck on a customers home...let alone be in charge of framing half a house back up after it burns down. I memorized a booklet and passed a test. And this guy is acting like I'm a savior to him buying the business lol

[maplelakeduckslayer]

Well my kinda worst fear came into play and my dad's sole estimator gave him his 2 weeks notice last week. He hadn't been able to sell the business yet

I feel pretty terrible about it. I was in a position to help and told my dad several times I would but he'd never really talk to me about it

Now he's on the verge of just closing up the business he started from ground floor vs selling it or having me take it over

I feel bad too that it's his business he grew from nothing...gave us 5 kids anything we could need in life etc. And I don't want to take it over

It feels selfish. But imo that business is a total drag dealing with homeowners and ins cos every day. I did it 14 yrs in the same industry. My dad grew to hate it too. I think that's why he wouldn't really talk to me about it I don't think he wants to force it on me

I'm totally happy right now...I do fine for myself never have to leave home or deal with people and feel I have real talent trading the stock market. It's incredibly rewarding to do something 90% can't do profitability. With my completely own hours, no boss, could do anywhere in the world, etc. It's just truly an ideal situation for me.

But I'm going to call him and see if there's anyway we could convince the guy that's leaving to stay if I jump in and help out. Or if he can get one of his old estimators back. Long enough for him to sell it at least.

I dunno I just truly feel bad about it because I pursued my own passion vs helping out a parent...even though I did try to offer several times I feel I should have been more pushy

Feel a lot of guilt

Well see what he says when I call him tomorrow.

Unfortunately I can't be a savior either although I spent a lot of years in the industry and around it I don't have a full comprehension of how to estimate full on construction projects. That's why I'd need his current guy to stay or get his old guy back

Sorry to hear it. Is there any way you could patch it all together long enough to make the transition to a new owner?

Hope you had some positive conversations today.
