TIDY-ing Up Loose-Ends & Clean-ing the House of *Friends*

this trip,
i had two outstanding *issues* (from previous trip(s)), that i HAD TO bring to a close.

#1.... the tailor thing-y.... details later

#2.... my young photo-assistant/mentor(?)::>>> Some of you's remember my-yute from long-time, who was like a photo-assistant (and un-official Ja-mentor) on some of my earlier trips.

I learnd a LOT from this kid,,,, now a young-man

they guy's got MUCH-MUCH game ...... PURE *ginneal*
...somebody will tell you what ginneal(sp?), if you don't know

nevertheless,
'bout a year & 1/2 ago,
i purchased a new JA$2000 cell phone
..'cause my old one was acting up

but, somehow the old-one fixed itself
so,
i had a phone mi no need

up popped my-yute
..he needed a new phone

'cause he was my buddy, mi-SAY:::>>> "..If you want,,, here's a deal for you... you get this nw-phone, but pay me 1/2-price..... JA$1,000... on Friday, when you get paid....... OK..??."

my-yute-SAY:::>> "..OF COURSE, man..!!!.."

* sigh *

never saw him again
..for almost 2-years
..and he lives jus' down the lane
...about 300 yards from mi yard

so,
this trip
at an odd-time, compared to my previous vacation-*schedule*(s)
...WHO do i see sauntering down the lane...??..

yep
yep:::>> 'tis my-yute

i call out to him:::>> "..Oy Oy.."

he's shocked to see me

"..You got my money..??.."

he waves & beckons
we approach each other

he-SAY:::>> "...*Friends* don't sell to *friends*..."

WHAT THE ____________ !!!!

* whew *

my-yute got balls na tru

mi-SAY:::>> ".. I love ya 'bro,,, but biz-ne$$ from here-on::>> WE DONE.."

* sigh *
honestly & truely i like this guy
but he failed the-*test*

later i'll tell you about the tailor
