Yesterday:
1. Went to my favourite mechanic to pick up my car. He was putting in a new starter motor. He is excellent and goes above and beyond, but I was expecting about $400. He comes out, says 'It turned out to just be the connectors, give me $20 and we are good'.
2. My friend who is moving out of town calls to tell me he is getting rid of some fishing and golfing gear as he downsizes. He ends up handing me an utterly beautiful fishing rod - maybe $900 new, I would never buy one. He then gives me a really cool tackle box full of nice lures as well.
3. I receive a call out of the blue about a unit I have up for rent (a small art studio). I was thinking about calling the local paper and advertising it, but this guy calls me out of nowhere and we arrange to meet at the place so he can have a look. He walks around, takes some measurements, then asks about a couple other small rentals I have (storage lockers).
After he leaves, he calls me and tells me he wants them all (Hooray!). I get the paperwork organized over lunch, then meet him afterwards to hand over the keys etc. He hands me a cheque for $6500, which is the total rent on all 3 units for a full year.
So yeah, pretty good day. On top of that, both the kids were at sleepovers at their friends' houses, so a nice quiet evening and morning to boot.
