I get a call from my real estate agent who handles the renting of my humble beach cottage on the beaches of Kitty Hawk informing me that the HVAC units on both floors were FUBAR, and that because of that, one 2 week rental was just cancelled. Anyway, I get two units down to the OBX and have a friend do the installation. While I checked out my little slice of heaven on the beach, it dawned on me I had my place all to myself during the tourist season for the first time in 6 years or so, and decided to make lemonade out of this pile of lemons. The decision to not try to get the place rented ricky tick in order to recoup the $6K I just dropped on A/C units was made when one of my bud's young helpers was playing the Beach Boys on his boom box....life's a beach if one can get one's mind re-directed to what's really important while one still has a life to re-direct.
