Well it only took two months before someone reported me for something with this RLAP Franchise in the makings. Not like I wasn't expecting something any time, as I know people are watching me. Some are watching because they care and want me to succeed, and others, to see if I make the slightest error in anything that I do. Even selling DVDS!! Omg... do I need a separate licence to sell RLAP tshirts and ball caps too?? Some people need to get a life really!! Like I am a threat to anyone. Good Lord, the DVDS help save the lives of many people in the motorcycle world all over the world and there is someone out there so concerned about trying to destroy any that I try and set my mind to. WorrieD that I may make a buck rather than thankful I might help save a life.
At first I just start to shake an get mad, and I am mad. More like hurt honestly. It is like you never really know who your friends are. I try talking myself out of stuff, but my mind starts to play head games. Sometimes I just want to give up...and then it makes me say.........OK.. watch me.. keep reporting me, and that way you can do all the foot work to find out if I am legal at this and that. Maybe I should put the word out that I am teaching, just so someone else who is so concerned can figure it out for me.
This takes me back a few years ago, when I was struggling to make ends meet in a little community on the north end of the Island.. Population 200. I would take on all the little jobs that came available, no matter what it was, from driving garbage truck, to cleaning houses, cutting grass, slingin beer, lunch monitor at school, selling second hand stuff.. Anyway I need a van for all this as I was driving in and out every single weekend garage sailing. Going to the auction and bringing it in to sell. lol what a life.
So I started to think I could do pick ups for people bring shit into town, what ever! Wow it started to work and the local TAXI guy came to me and said. "Tannis' Van Can"...What can Tannis's Van Can do??? I said, well hello there Dan, an I listed all the things it can do like carry my tools to pick weeds in the garden I was at..Dan, my man (thinking evil thoughts) which one of these things can I do for you???
He said........you can RIPP that sign off your f'n van, as you can NOT do what you are doing??? I asked him if he was sure, and he you bet!!! Handed me some stupid letter his wife drew up to make it sound legal, an I told him, I would be sure to look into it.
Ha... My van go so dang busy picking up his deliveries we never spoke but I would always wave...I put a full page add in the local 4 page paper which everyone read even on line, an it said...............TANNIS'S VAN CAN AND WILL!!!!!
Hey that just popped into my head, was a great memory... I will keep on keeping on, got to run now and go buy a licence for selling DVDS..
