From the hustle and bustle of Clearwater especially near Gulf to Bay [60 N/S } and { 19 N/S }quite frankly really f in boring , Satellite Beach is a bedroom community on the beach where they roll up the curbs at 8 O'clock. I checked Google maps and while I'm standing in the street lookin at the Ocean I can't believe the next nearest land mass is the Ivory Coast! The house is a little small and a little pricey so my wings are clipped a little …. being partially retired I just play guitar, sometimes go beachin, to hone my Social Engineering skills, fix all the 1/2 arsed house'el teething pain problems that seem to always come up as the beach weather, close to the ocean is brutal, to all the houses on the island. The salt in the air just wears down everything. Cwater, I had Sam's Ash and GtrWallyWorld Center just around the corner now I gotta drive an hour n 10 minutes to Qrlando @ 85 mph, er... that's a normal speed to go there !
The sad story goes, the property we were living on was part of a parcel , again on the beach, that sold for 28 million! So when the lease was up Mary said why don't we move to Clearwater near her nephew Mike, who was now 40yrs, he was a little kid when I robbed the cradle and started going out with " the bride, " Mary. So I said " I guess what's the difference? ", but she did line up a job in the emergency room, front lines, at a local prestigious hospital to work in. I called Mike n told em " ya gotta hook me up for easy home updates/repairs " as I knew not one soul over there. So 11 months later Mikey drinkin fireball, we had a rule no hard stuff, period! And ya'll know why. This was on my wife's and sons birthday AUG 20th and we were having a riot. He got thru 1/2 a bottle before I dumped it down the drain. He goes out at 11 o'clock pm with my son … does multiple shots, for hours, buying many for every patron at the " (.)(.) " Bar, leaves and goes to another (.)(.) bar and does it again there. At 4 am he leaves to go home. He owned a 4 bay repair station in Pinellas Park, and, whenever we did this we always used Uber, another rule, " no driving "! He left with an old partially restored Truck, punched out 350, racing tranny and what, a 396 rear end, he would blow off that line like a bat outta hell since the rear end was geared precisely for doin that. Well, 6:30am we get a call from his mother in law …. Mikey was in an accident and he didn't make it! Rolled the truck 6 times, I know the steering box was a POS and needed immediately needed to be over hauled. I think the steering gave him some argro, he might of been racing, I'm not sure but road the steel barrier which rolled the truck. Left a 3 1/2 and 8 yr old son & daughter.
