In 2025, when I am completely and fully trained in handling trucks and trailers, it might be time to figure out what I want to use my new education for. Do I work for a company, or do I start my own courier/haulage business? It's free to start your own business, and if I make more than $7931 in profits, over a year, I need to be VAT registered. Some places offer VAT registration for as low as $111. My housemate told me I would need $23792 in order to be VAT registered, but from what I can read, it's nowhere near that amount.

So.. Now that the plan has been laid, I will need a vehicle. Now, because I have a business, I can get a car for a lower amount, $2744 to be exact. So, if I find a car below that value, which is pretty hard, I am not going to pay import fees on it. If a car is worth more than $2744, I have to pay a 50% fee for the remaining value. I know, the car taxation system in Denmark is weird.

Anyway.. I will need a place to live. I could move to the other end of the country, where the houses are cheaper than where I currently live. The cheapest house here is $333,172. If I move to a place like east of Svendborg, which is a city on the island of Funen, I can get a bigger house for $19831. I just need to start planning the details of my future business. What should I haul? Packages? Explosives? Hazardous materials? No, definitely not explosives or hazardous materials. They require special containers, which are expensive. Plus, I don't think a civilian like me can get that kind of containers. Unless I also take an ADR certificate, which the school offers as well. Hm. I still have four years to decide what I want to haul. In the meantime, I can lay out a terms and conditions, pricing and what else I need. I might also sketch the first website draft in photoshop, since I am quite good at that.. Or so I tell myself.. The photoshop bit, that is.

So many things to plan, and a long time to do it as well! It's gonna be so exciting!

My associate and I sold 2 kitchen remodels this week and meeting a client for a bathroom remodel today. Lots of work to get it done. Lots more to process the shop drawings, material lists and place orders. I'm doing 6 days a week and a few late nights...

Happy Friday!

Trump has a (special) way of placing value on his properties. He valued Mar-a-Lago at $739 million. In today's market, it could actually be worth less than $40 million.
So how does he justify a value of $739 million?
Potential... future potential. It's not worth that now... but some time in the future it will be valued at that number.
My suggestion is go with it... reassess the property value to what he says and make him pay taxes accordingly !!
That should fix everything.

In other news, Trump's business fraud case isn't going so well for him.

The judge fined Trump’s lawyers $7,500 each for repeating arguments he had previously dismissed. C'mon guys... don't you remember what you say and do in a court of law?

While many of the Trump corporations are being blocked from doing business in the state of New York, The court has appointed a former judge to monitor their assets and any creation of new entities or transfers. Basically... they're on to you!

Late last year, Adidas had a falling out with Ye aka Kanye West and now they have warehouses stocked/stacked with his Yeezy shoes. Talk of donating the shoes or offloading them to some factory outlets has complications. I read that even after their 'breakup' they would have to pay Ye royalties for the sale of the shoes.
Destroying them causes problems environmentally, rebranding them probably poses some ethical problems. Whatever the solution, it's a case of lose, lose, lose for Adidas.

One of the many different Yeezy styles:

Two weeks ago, it was reported Trump's campaign was exhausting funds at a rate where they would run out of money weeks before the election... a time where money is most needed for the last push before the election.

I guess the person/people in charge of spending weren't planning this too well.
Tonight, I see a Bloomberg story that says: "Big GOP Donors Come Off the Sidelines to Fight Trump Cash Crunch" and the donations in the millions come tumbling in.

I didn't understand the mindset of funding a campaign to a man who has been through a few bankruptcies, is running up the deficit and doesn't have sufficient cash to fuel his reelection.

Knowing all that would make me nervous about voting someone who isn't good with money... especially when it's not his money.

I stopped to see a client and measure for some vanity cabinets today. It worked out good because I was on the way to Miami. My agenda was a planned visit to the Asian market. But first, a small detour... I pulled up in front of my old house.
Changes made by the new owner were immediately noticeable from the street.
This was perfect timing as the neighbor was planning to go out. He greeted me at his front gate and asked about the change of vehicles. The new owner also came out as her roommate was doing some landscaping. Many of the trees and shrubs were trimmed back and new ones were planted.

Discussion of the drowning of my old car and my new car changed as the owner invited us to see what transformation happened in the last 3 months. I immediately noticed the kitchen wall opened and all new cabinets, countertops and appliances were installed. Ceramic tile, central air, all new bathroom tile and fixtures, lots of new electrical upgrades, down lights everywhere. The window air conditioner units were gone and some windows were closed up on the Westerly exposure where the sun beats down on that side of the house.
She's got friends in the business and much of the work was at wholesale price, I'd estimate there were upgrades over $30,000 and they have much more to go. Impact windows and relocating the laundry are next on the list.

I was totally impressed no only with the amount of work done but with the design. Cutting the kitchen wall (to the living room) and creating a peninsula with sit-down turned 3 areas (kitchen, dining, living) into one functioning multi-purpose area!

Bravo.

One reason for the visit was to be sure she's not trashing any important (looking) mail that didn't get forwarded to my new address. Agreed she will pass to the neighbor and he will text me.

The other day, I read in music news that Daryl Hall has filed a lawsuit against his former musical partner John Oates and has asked the judge to issue a temporary restraining order. Documents were sealed and information was sketchy. This morning, more details came forward.

Why Daryl Hall obtained a restraining order against John Oates has been (partly) solved.
It’s now been revealed that Hall is attempting to block his longtime musical partner from selling his share in their joint venture to Primary Wave Music.
Hall is arguing that Oates' plan to sell off his share of a joint venture would violate the terms of a business agreement that Hall & Oates duo had forged.

The judge temporarily blocked the sale while legal proceedings and a previously initiated arbitration continue.

Primary Wave has already owned “significant interest” in Hall and Oates’ song catalog for more than 15 years. In a 2021 interview with Sky News, Hall alluded to disappointment with the sale of his back catalog.

Daryl's statement:
“Oh, in the early days, it got sold off for me and I didn’t get the money,” he said. In the same interview, he advised artists to retain their publishing rights, saying “all you have is that.”
