Glad things worked out well. One quick correction. If he defaults on his agreed payments he will NOT go to jail. This is a judgement in civil court and civil court does not have jail as an option. If he defaults then the court will issue a default judgement in your favor, and you can then use certain options to collect on that judgement.

I suggest reading #8....



Unless I'm mistaken, violation of a court order is considered "Contempt of Court,"
which is a jailable offense, regardless of whether it is Criminal or Civil.

I know a good bit about the law, but I am not a lawyer.....

Best,

Scott

Went to my locksmith Friend's shop this morning.
Turns out it is a broken key in the ignition.
My Friend said that he'd been trying to get it out for 3 days.

So, I get out my extractors and tried for over a half hour.
There were wafers in front preventing it from being extracted.

I took a break and asked if he had a good working key.
He said that he did.
I said, "Make a duplicate on a non-chip mechanical key."
He did and handed it to me.
I took a pair of pliers and broke it where I felt the piece of key in the ignition was broken.
My Friend's eyes got big and he said, "WTH?"
I then took the head of the key I had just broken, that had 3-4 cuts needed, inserted into the ignition and turned the ignition, releasing the steering wheel to access the screws that held the plastic shroud in place.
Once the shroud was removed, I pressed a pick in the "poke-hole" to depress the active retainer and removed the ignition.

With the ignition now in hand, I disassembled it to remove the broken key part.

(The head piece of the key I broke the tip off and the broken piece of key removed)

I then reassembled the ignition, handed it to my Friend and said, "Scotty's Magic again!"

As I was collecting up my tools, he was cutting a new chip key after he had re-installed the ignition.

As I was leaving, I said, "Call on ole Scotty anytime you need some magic, Brother!"

I'm sure that I'll have another call from him sometime....

Because, don't we all sometimes need a little magic?



Best,

Scott

I hesitate to relate this story because it may exemplify my age-related foibles....

But, here we go.....

The Wednesday before court, I couldn't sleep at all that night.
I finally went to court on Thursday morning fuelled with 3 pots of overnight coffee.

When the proceedings on Thursday were completed, I went home and just "fell out," emotionally and physically drained.
I laid down in the bed and soon was fast asleep.

Soon, I quickly opened my eyes, glanced at my alarm clock and saw that it was seven o'clock!
I thought, "Damn! I'm late for work!"
I jumped out of bed, put on my work clothes and hurried to my truck.
As I'm driving the 20 minutes to work, I notice a different traffic pattern. I also notice that it is getting darker and not lighter.

I get to work and clock in.

As I'm clocking in, I notice that it is PM!

Somewhat embarrassed, I clock back out and go home.

The next day, I told all of the crew of my blunder.
Laughs all around were had!

At least I wasn't late....

Talked with David yesterday.
He was still having trouble sleeping.

He likes Tom Clancy novels.
I suggested reading some Robert Ludlum novels.
Starting with the "Bourne Identity."
Seems like I remember a First Edition hardback Ludlum issue around here somewhere.
But, you know that I'm packing up....
I'll look, and, when I find it, I will give it to David.

I said that when I had trouble sleeping, that I'd read until I fell asleep.
I cautioned him that the novels were so exciting that he may not be able to sleep!

Monday, I'll find him and ask if my suggestion worked....

And, this Tuesday is another session of Veterans Court.
The time that I miss at work is allowed by my Boss by working overtime.

I have done my best to help the 5 Veterans that I mentor.

A couple will Graduate the Course soon.
Some have problems that I hope I can help with....

ALL are my Brothers.

My dad bought my mom a piano for her birthday. A few weeks later, I asked how she was doing with it.

"Oh," said my dad, "I persuaded her to switch to a clarinet."

"How come?" I asked.

"Well," he answered, "because with a clarinet, she can't sing."

2GF,

Thanks for the chuckles.
