I have been busy lately ..

[merc]

I haven't been around much lately
I work 7 nights a week and a number of days also .


There has been a problem the last few months .
A late model Honda Accord , very blacked out
windows , with 4 armed young men in masks
inside the car .

They rob customers of their jewelry , watches ,
and cash . This has been going on for months .
They are quick to shoot if you don't give
it up immediately .

These guys shot a guy 4X at Starlits in Queens
a few nights back . They let go a barrage in
front of Sweets in Jamaica , Queens a couple
months ago .( I was born and raised in that hood .
It is very dangerous )

The NYPD doesn't really do police work any more .
They take reports , send survivors to the hospital
and dead people to the morgue .

The average cop is a little fat girl that couldn't
find a bad guy in Central Booking if he
raised his hand.

Now , without Qualified Immunity , cops will
no longer take Police Action that may result
in civil liability or worse .

They will let you die.

This is where i come in .
I'm quite well known for what I do .
By street guys as well as clients .
I make myself very visible and on point
in front of establishments .

The Honda comes and recons my place .
if I'm there , they go somewhere else .

Here is a pic of the Honda driving past the
front of my client's place and a pic moments
before they let a barrage go in front of Sweets ..

Hopefully , I will soon buy a house in the
Smokey Mountains and retire in peace .

Stay out of harm's way ,

Ah yes Smokey Mountains, another favorite place of mine. We were debating buying there but it's a long stroll from down here. Be safe bud, please.

Ha....it must be something in the water. I'm up 3-4 am sometimes. The older you get the less you sleep. I've seen texts from 44 at weird times of the night.

It takes me usually 3 nights to get

my 8 hours of sleep…

The other night I was working on a project

from 0200 until 0600…

Can’t sleep, might as well work

way to some job in NYC .

I have starting times between 0100 hrs - 0500 hrs

Things ain't getting cheaper here in NE GA. My shack's just south of the Blue Ridge Mtns. I live 9 miles east of Currahee, made famous in Band of Brothers. Electricity's cheap, gas is cheap, water isn't. Taxes ain't too bad. Moved here from the south's number 1 shithole Memphis in 2020. Make the move to God's country sooner the better, property values are going up faster than the value of Nancy Pelosi's stock portpolio.

I agree with your assessment of contemporary law enforcement. The job is dead. Anybody with the physical capability and mental scruples look elsewhere. Best wishes for your retirement plans.

Real Estate and property taxes are probably
the highest in the nation.

My taxes are about $1200 a month
I will look for a place on the Tennessee side or
the NC side of the National Park .

NC wants to tax my NY pension .
Seems a bit greedy .

I didn't work in NC .
I didn't get paid by NC .

It may make me go to Tennessee

Don't feel too bad, I paid close to 30K in real estate taxes this year. and have already sent $25K to the IRS in advance so I don't get hit with a penalty at the end of the year. and have already paid about $40K, we have no deductions other than standard deduction, even if we paid for our daughter's Master Degree.
