Made 2 important phone calls

1...called my Ja-mentor ----reminded her about the fresh thymne, i'm to take back to foreign ... she *collected* it before i arrived, and set it aside to dry, so USofA Customs won't take it, as they did last trip ... dem no allow green stuff

I also,
reminded her that I wanted/needed the results of her *research*::::>>> price-ing on rental lodging in & around Lucea-town. I reminded her that I was low low looooooooooooooow maintenance .... didn't require anything as large as her current new quarters, which i saw & toured last week. ... No Sir..l!!... too much space, for me.

2...later, after getting the phone number from his wife, I called a guy who has done a few buidling, carpentry things for me over the years ...

he was in-foreign
in New York

he along with 142 other Jamaicans
were up there
pickin' apples

told him
i was giving him a heads-up
to build, maybe/probably this Winter

''..NO problem, mon..''' <<< he-SAY >>>>> '''..you been chattin' 'bout that a loooooooooooong time..''
'''..true true... but i'm ready now...''


an aside:::>>> I am NOT buying no-land .... can't dew-wheat .... gonna rent Ja-land, house, whatever 'til i die.

'member me OLD..!!... only got 19-more years to go ... statistically speaking.
