I just found out that my son won't be able to take the guitars that I wanted to send him home with.
He has a plan to pay off his debt in a year, and is going to be staying in his buddy's garage for the next year. All he's going to have for heat in the winter is a couple of space heaters.
The temperatures can be extreme during the winters in Oklahoma. 24 degrees at night and then 70's during the day. Not to mention what the humidity can be, it just wouldn't be good for the guitars I was going to send him.
He just got out of the Army a couple of weeks ago. His property, which has a Gibson, Fender, and a Kramer in the the pack, won't be delivered for a couple of months to him in OK. He starts the police academy in November.
He's coming back to Oregon in a couple of weeks, and won't be able to bring his guitars for me to store them. There is no room for his buddy to store them in the house. The garage just has a couple of space heaters in it. I just hope his LP doesn't get ruined.
He's applied for many jobs for some income while he waits for November and they've told him they won't hire him because he's "Over Qualified".
I think that I will take the guitars I was going to give him and sell them. He said I could do whatever I wanted with them. So, I think I'm going to sell them and send him the money.
I offered him my Beretta M9 A3, which meets all of his departments requirements, except one. It isn't black. So he is gonna have to have it Serra Coated. That will cost him about $200.00. But at least he isn't going to have to cough up a ton of money for a new side arm. He was going to get a Beretta anyway. So at least this will work out.
His buddy works at the department that he will be working for, and they do have department issued sidearms in a pinch, but what they have doesn't fit his hand. That's why I offered him mine.
I'm pretty proud of my son. He sets goals and always has a plan. And he's willing to sacrifice to meet his goals. I wish ther was more that I could do to make things easier for him, but this is all I can do.
