Not sure what I should think about it - being thankful, or pissed 🤔

I was in the shop, preparing everything for tomorrow, as after weeks, the technician comes to check my lorries crane tomorrow, for the potential buyer.

I started the engine, let it run, planning to drive the lorry out of the shop. But there was a smell and I was searching for the reason, until I found a cable on fire under the cabin.

A sensor cable catched fire, because of oxidation, I guess. The high current because of that, that went over it, started the fire. I was lucky, turned off the engine, disconnected the batteries, tilted the cab and extinguished the fire. A minute later and the other cables, who weren’t cables, as I learned later and the disaster would have been perfect, they were diesel lines.

The brother of the interested party came down, had a look and helped me to fix temporarily the diesel lines, that the technician can proceed tomorrow, as the real value of the truck is the mounted crane.

On one hand I’m happy that it happened now, not that they buy the lorry, driven off to only let me know a little later, about the fire that destroyed the truck.

I fear they’ll want to make a deal now, but I won’t be able to give in, if they need a deal they have to meet with Trump. I’m over deals, I told them honest at the beginning of the conversation, that my asking price won’t change.

Maybe I’m simple stupid, but I want to do certain things with the money, when they want even a couple of thousands off, I won’t go through with the deal, because I can‘t realize my plans.

The few years I’ve left, if I’m not winning … I asked even, if I get a chance to repair the lorry, that I work as contractor for them, for 3 days a week, he immediately denied.

Never give up - never surrender …

Enjoy any minute of your life, not on the shoulders, not on expenses of others, be as kind as possible to all life, including humans and yourself.

For (all!) life - love, empathy and responsibility, Stefan
