Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2020 00:49:32 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 96 I continued reading the agenda and called Brian. When he answered I asked if he was snowed in as well and he said everyone is and same for tomorrow. I was actually wondering why you had not called. I said, Brian I just got a very small agenda and was actually wondering why a meeting at all? He said, Mike there is one every month and I'm guessing you will be punching up the agenda. I laughed and said not really and honestly I'm not aware of much, what do you want to add that's not there? He thought for a moment and said a detailed financial report. I said why is there a problem? He said no the financials are excellent. Brian, Why the report. He said I want to stress the finance people out. I said ok, but before the meeting I want the report sent to Ryan so him and I can talk. What else? The replacement for Mr. Carr? I said dad is working on that, ask him to make a decision and then I will want a bio. Mike, why can't you ask your dad? I said not a good day and he said oh. Replace Mr. Carr's two buddies? I said nope but I promise you a resignation or two, he laughed and said good enough. Brian, I need to review the lease for the NASA people, I want to add a part time PR person who will be shared with Enterprises at a salary ok 30k. He will also double as a pilot and naturally I will want a corporate jet for him to fly? Michael, what will justify that? I said all the trips to Houston and the Cape. Plus, eventually Enterprises will own the jet and take the PR position over once there is income coming in from Enterprises. Also, I think Technologies needs a facilities person, to manage the new building. Finally, I need a detailed report on the purchases for the NASA project and who is paying for what. Well, Mike so much for a simple meeting? Brian, please update the agenda and copy, me, dad and Tim. I thanked him and hung up. I called Tim and asked if there was anything he wanted on the Board agenda, he said an detailed financial report. I said, Tim we agreed no more games WHATS UP? Then he said, I'm guessing Brian had the same request? I said just tell me before the agenda includes a new general counsel and the firing of a board member. Mike, just a feeling, we are spending a ton of money and there isn't any accountability. Ok, I get that, please call Brian and ask him to put the approval for a purchasing agent on the agenda along with the PR guy and the Jet. Also, be ready to discuss the temporary lease space. He laughed and said, I hope this fucking weather clears up as you have too much time on your hands. Look, Tim I want the weather cleared up Major Messer owes me a jet ride Saturday. He said, unreal and hung up. I finally, to relax, called Carrie and she said Mike, no school tomorrow, I said I know and a shortened Spring break. However, we are still flying into Boston, you, me, Bill and Ryan, I'm guessing. However we had a big fight and I trounced dad and need to be nice to him and let him win one. She said Mike, please do that, I want a night in that bed, you promised. Yes, I did and it will happen soon. Then I asked when she wanted to go to VT for a visit and she suggested when we get back from Boston. I said let's look at that once the revised schedule, Boston is required, I need that over. We talked for a while longer about what she wanted to see on the VT trip and we hung up and I went looking for dad. I found him outside sitting in my chair and thought shit, I grabbed a coat and went outside and said ok, dad what's going on? He lit a cigarette Handed me that pack and I did the same. Mike, I did not appreciate how you boxed me in with your brother. Dad, I know that was a shit way to do it but you promised he was your responsibility. Yes, Mike I did and while I was dealing with it you jumped right in. Dad the results were the same you were going to co-sign. Yes, Mike I was. Then there was the message from Brian that you said I needed to pick a Board member. Yes, I told him to ask you, not tell you. Mike, I'm feeling like one of your minions. Dad, I don't see you that way at all, when I get mad I just take over. Let's talk about the Board meeting, please. Mike, let's go inside and have a drink in my office. He poured me a scotch and we both had another cigarette and I said, dad I have a question, why does everyone want a detailed financial report at the board meeting? He smiled and said to open your eyes to how financially sound we are and for you to figure out that we are spending money and a lot of money with very little oversight. Ok, dad I appreciate that, but why the board meeting? Because you will listen better there. Well dad, I am also asking for a facility person, a PR guy and a purchasing guy. Dad laughed and said, son you already figured that out? I said yes, ask Brian. Dad the PR guy will, I hope be Major Messer as he will double as a pilot and I want to lease a jet. I'm not flying commercial to deal with mom and you will be in and out of Huston and the Cape a lot and then there are the trips to VT. He laughed and said we don't need Board approval for any of that? Dad, I do as it is practice for my salesmanship skills. I want Enterprises making money and soon. Then I got up to stretch and put both hands on his desk and leaned in and said, dad you are not a minion and I'll watch how I win. He smiles, reached up messed my hair and said please get a fucking hair cut. I laughed and said, I want a man bun and walked out, thinking he is right and possibly a grown up look, then I thought nope, that's not me, but shorter sides and a shorter messy top. Colton, will be pleased and I went to my room. I was finishing the book when the phone rang and damn, it was Major Messer, he said so how is the weather up there and I asked if he had skis for his jet. He laughed and said so Mike, how tall are you and I need the real number, I said 6' 3-1/2 according to my doctor. He said great I'll just get a bigger jet, how does and F-15 sound, I said I don't have any idea. He said it a fighter jet and you will fit, I fly a smaller faster jet. However you will like this as well. You need the medical release and I talked with your dad a few minutes ago and he thinks you are nuts and I have the barf bag, I'm guaranteeing you will need it. Well, I take your word for it. He said county airport say 9:00. I said great saves a long drive. Oh, we are going to Latrobe as I have a meeting close by that I know you will enjoy, we will be gone a couple of hours. I'll only make you puke once and he hung up laughing. I was thinking hell, you are the one in for a big surprise. I called Tim and he answered again? I said yes get adjusted, I have had three days to think of shit. Where are we on the property near the airport. I let them know we were interested and they responded MJS who? I laughed, ok Tim what else did they say 5 million. I laughed and said those 5 acres are 20% non-useable so that's a silly amount. He said Mike, don't do it. I said do what? Make a silly offer. I said, ok what the zoning? He said farm and I laughed and said offer them 1.5 million. Mike what will you do with it? Immediately a cheap building to house technology start-ups. He said all the way out there? I said yes close to the airport, cheap taxes, no Mayor and lots of free parking. Mike, please call me in the morning and tell me you changed your mind. Tim, please make that offer tonight. I said please call Logan and Jodi that I need to talk ASAP. He said, FUCK and hung up. I called Tim back and said in the offer include a zoning change to industrial, mineral rights and utility access, gas, water and electric. But I'm thinking solar panels. He said got it and hung up. Then I called Rob and we chatted about basketball and the last three upcoming games. Then I said, Rob that thing you did to make me shoot, that really works. He laughed and said I know, who did you use it on? I said Ray. He said Ray that creepy dude that lives near you? I said yup, why is he creepy? Well he hangs with a tough crowd , smokes, drinks and fucks anything that walks and he thinks he is hot shit. Dam, Rob you just described me? Mike, you do a lot of those things and so do I but not in the same way. Rob how do you know him? Mike, just around school, he seems to avoid you. Rob the dude is my cousin and him and I were tight a while back, now it is trending back. Mike, he does hard drugs and is playing you. I said thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it. He said Mike, Spain is off, I can't sell dad, even with you going. Rob, I'm working on something and have an answer next week. I hung up thinking I might need my radar checked. I called Ray and said dude, what you doing, I'm bored and need something to help me chill. He said I know what you mean, I'll be right over. I went down stairs and Ray was there almost immediately. He said dude, let's go to your room, I said sure. In my room he opened the window and lit a reefer and offered me a hit. I said Ray, I do that all the time, I need something more. He said Mike, you sure this stuff is hard to get and expensive, I said I got the cash covered. He pulled out a bag put a white powder on the desk divided into four lines and said just one line Mike just suck it up your nose. I got up grabbed him, put him against the wall kneed him in the balls and said you disgusting lying deviant pig. And I punched him in the stomach grappled him, dragged him downstairs and threw his ass out in the yard. It was followed by his coat and me yelling YOU FUCKING RETARD YOU ARE DEAD TO ME. Dad came out and said, Mike please come inside. Inside I said dad please come to my room. In my room he said Mike, I'm assuming that was Ray and not you. I said correct but look at my desk. Dad looked over and said fuck, Michael my office now. In the office he said ok let's have it. I said dad, Ray and I had a nice day and I was talking with Rob and he said that Ray was a real druggie and I set him up and he brought weed and coke to my room and offered it to me. I reacted like you saw outside. Mike, did you smoke or take a hit? Dad you know better and I'll go to Dr. Jenkins and take a drug test tomorrow, if you want, no issues. He said Mike, I'm good, clean your desk and I'm trusting it all gets flushed. I said thanks dad. Then he said on second thought put that shit in a plastic bag, I might need it once I talk with my sister. I went upstairs and was cleaning my room and dad and Aunt Janet came in and I said, what? Aunt Janet said Mike, I'm sorry and I said thanks and the coke is still on the desk, I can't make myself clean it up. Dad said, Mike, I got it. I said, Aunt Janet I'm the one that's sorry, I should not have set him up like that but it was so easy. She sat in a chair and motioned for me to join her and she said, Mike, I was thrilled Ray was spending time with you, I was hoping it was for real, the reality is that he hates you as he says you ruined his life. I started to say something but she stopped me saying let me finish. He ruined his own life and made bad choices. You are everything he wants to be but he can't be anything like you in any aspect. He will be getting his military wish as next week he is going to Valley Forge Military Academy. Mark and I are done. I asked if I could see him before he goes and she said no, but this summer you can talk to him. Dad, showed Janet the Bag and she said you keep it I found enough at home, the punk was selling it as well as using. I was wondering where the money was coming from. I think he was hoping to sell Mike some. I hugged her and they left the room and I locked my door and just started to to throw things. Suddenly there was a loud bang and as dad came running in, I said dad, I loved that desk, I just needed to have a different top. He pulled me to my feet and I got a big hug and he took me to the guest room and said stay here tonight and I said dad, I actually want to move over here, I can't be in that room. He said Mike, think that over. There are many good memories in that room, just ask Carrie. They should out weigh tonight. I laid there for a while and thought get a fucking grip and went back to my room and fell asleep The next morning was cold and windy and the roads were not good enough for a run. I made coffee and was reading the paper, which was delivered for the first time in days while eating fruit. Dad came in and said Mike, I was glad to see you in your room last night and I called and ordered some new glass for your desk and it will be delivered later today. It will be beveled and look a little different and I said thanks. Dad will you please call Dr. Jenkins and get me cleared for that jet ride Saturday. I need to be at the Allegheny County airport by 8:30 to be safe and we are flying to Latrobe as he has a meeting there. Then we are flying back and I assume he is going to try to make me puke and I laughed. Mike, it's good to see you laugh. So what's on your schedule, today? I said business, the board meeting, that offer I made last night on some property and school work. I went upstairs and called Rob and told him the entire Ray story. He listened to the story and finally said, I don't know weather to laugh or cry. Rob, I really appreciate the heads up on that, it means a lot to me. Mike, I owe you that and a bunch more. Dude, you don't own me anything. Just keeping being you. He said if you can get out tonight we are playing. I said I'm not sure I'm getting a ride don an F-15 tomorrow, he said no shit I hear that's an awesome ride. You might want a barf bag, Rob they are insistent on that and Major Messer said he guarantees it. Mike is that Major James Messer and I said yes, why. Damn, he is an awesome dude, tell him we said hello. Rod, I'll do that. The flight is from the Allegheny County and we are going to Latrobe and he has a meeting, then back home. Rob laughed and said Mike, you are going to be blown away all day. Ok Rob how do you know what's happening? Mike, I don't so I'm not saying anything. I just know Jim Messer and Mike he has a kid our age. I said Robe that is JJ, correct. Well James Joseph, he said. Rob he is a wideout on a pretty good football team and his dad is looking to get out of NASA as he won't be going to space for a fourth time. Shit Mike you know a lot about the Major and his family. I laughed and said stay tuned. I said thanks and if I can get the Major to stay around, I'll let you know. Mike, I'll see you tomorrow and my radar went off all across the board. I called Tim and asked if there was a response to the proposal and he said, no word at all. I said well no news is no news. Mike, don't get mad, but I think the company jet is a reach. Tim, it isn't and just listen, please. There are dad's trip to Houston and the Cape for NASA. Then the trips to my football games and my trips home and back in 45 minutes as opposed to 6 hours. Mike, no matter how you put it, it is a big ask. So who flies the thing? The new PR guy and I said Tim, I have to get going let me know when you hear about the proposal. The next two hours were spent reviewing the bios of the Board, the new lease for the NASA hires and the new agenda. I called Ryan and I asked about Bill and was assured he was sober and good. So Ryan, do you know anything about the finances of Technology? He said Mike, I don't, should I? I said no you shouldn't, I was just hoping. My radar is working overdrive on that. Both Brian and Tim want a full detailed report at the Board meeting. Mike, get the report and we can look at it together. Ryan, I'm thinking about a full audit and planning on surprising everyone at the board meeting. Mike, I have a suggestion, ask for a forensic audit. Ryan, why is that necessary? Mike it might not be but it sends a message, I don't have any idea if that is necessary or not. Ryan, as you know I like sending messages, but I will talk with dad, I don't want him surprised. Mike, please do that, he would be very hurt. I thanked him and hung up. I thought that I better talk with dad, before I forget and I needed to go slow. I found dad in his office and when I knocked and went in he reached for a cigarette. I said dad can we please do this without you smoking, just once. Mike, you have been up there very quiet for hours and that always means something is about to happen, I laughed and said am I that predictable? He laughed and said yes, just get to the point. Dad, both Brian and Tim are asking for a detailed financial report at the board meeting. Dad said Mike, I know Brian and I have talked about it. So dad, you think it is a good idea? He said yes. Ok dad why? Well the financials are good but we run a very lose ship. Ok dad just between you and me how about I ask for a forensic audit? He thought for a minute and said, Mike what's the point? I smiled and said sending a message. He replied, I was worried that you were not engaged, I'm glad to see you are. Dad, I'm respecting my position and not getting in your way on day to day stuff. Dad, we have discussed everything else you good? He said absolutely, but the jet is a hard sell. Dad it isn't a request, I'm simply doing it. Besides, I'm hoping the new PR guy will be the pilot. Mike you have a person in mind. Dad, Major Messer if I can get him. I just found out he is friends with Rob and his dad. So you will offer him a job before the Board approves the position, dad not a formal offer, kinda like Major are you ready to leave NASA and indicate that there could be a need for a PR/pilot with my two companies, any interest? Dad laughed said just get out of here. I went outside and looked around and saw the roads were not too bad and went back inside and asked dad if I could go to the gym and workout. He said, I guess, you will be the only asshole on the road. I said dad I'll wait for an hour and check things again. Oh, thanks for a talk with no cigarettes, that was important to me. Just then there was a knock on the door and it was a delivery guy with my new desk top. They carried it upstairs and unwrapped it, cleaned it and installed it. It was even better than the first one. Once they left I found dad and thanked him for the top and for not saying anything about the temper tantrum. He said Mike, there is still bite marks in my tongue about that. I went down to the basement and found a broken piece of glass went to the workbench and ground down the rough edges and took it to my room. It will serve as a paperweight as well as a check on my temper. I looked outside and things were improving but I decided to stay home and skip the workout. I called Carrie and I told her about Ray and she said, Mike sometimes you are clueless. You are so good with things but your social awareness and what goes on at school, outside of you smallish circle, is non existent. I was actually waiting for you to simply beat the shit out of him. Carrie, Ray is right he is who he is because of me. I thought it was a game and he could deal with losing. I learned a lot from all this. Michael, just keep being Mike, I said well tomorrow is the Jet ride, you sure you still want that bet? She laughed and said, definitely as it seems that the only way I can get you naked. I laughed and said I love you. I worked on math for a while and called CMU and asked for a fax number so I could send my work and hopefully get more. Then I started on English reading and finally Spanish. Then I got dressed and went for a run and fuck, it was fun. At home I found dad and said what the fuck we eating and he laughed and said while you were running, I went to the store. Pick something or order in, I'm starving as well. I decided to order in and it was a salad for me and ribs and fries for dad. When the food came I yelled dad dinner is ready, your are cleaning up as I slaved over this. He came in, sat down and said ok asshole you are a jerk and we both laughed. After dinner it was business and reading and a call to Carrie, a long hot shower and a jackoff session and a very nervous sleep. I woke as usual and went for a run made some coffee and was reading the paper when Dad came in. We talked for a while and I said dad enjoy your day, I'll call when we are finished. I showered and dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt and drove to the airport. It about 35 minutes early and I went into the small waiting area and a few minutes later Rob showed up. He said relax dude, I just wanted to say hello. I laughed and said you are full of shit. Just then there was activity and this Air Force jet landed and Rob said dude that is a fun ride, you are definitely puking. We went outside and the jet taxied over and two guys got out. One was Major Messer and I went up to the younger version and said hi JJ nice to meet you I'm Mike, we shook hands and Rob got a big hug from both. He said JJ get out oqf the flight suit and let's get out of here. I turned and Major Messer threw me a bag and said Mike, see if you can manage to get into this. I went inside and fought with the suit and went back outside. JJ and Rob were gone and the Major looked me over and said let's go and I climbed in and he made sure things were properly adjusted. A helmet was put on and he talked to me about any emergency situation and how I would be, or could be ejected and what I had to do with was basically land on my feet. He showed me how to connect the oxygen mask and he climbed in the front and the canopy closed and the damn engines started and we were moving towards the runway. I was able to hear all the communications and as I heard we were cleared for takeoff I was immediately pushed against the back of my seat. All of a sudden we're we're going straight up and spinning. My stomach was in my mouth and we leveled off. Then I heard the Major say, good job but I have to behave for a minute there is traffic. It didn't take a minute and I was upside down and then right side up and straight up. Then I heard get the bag ready and it was a steep dive and I'm thinking fuck this is great then we were spinning and then leveled off. I said no puke yet and he laughed. We were going all over the place and the Major said Mike, great job time to land. There were communications between the Major and the tower and finally we were cleared to land. We climbed down and the Major said we needed to get out of the flight suits as our ride will be here shortly. I handed him the barf bag and he laughed and said I'll get you on the war back. We changed and went outside and sure enough there was a car and driver waiting for us. It was a short drive and I saw a golf course on my right but we turned left into an driveway marked PRIVATE. there were a couple of nice houses and a white small building and we stopped in front of it and climbed out. The Major opened the door and we went in. Immediately it was a very friendly feeling and I thought holy fuck, this can't be happening. Comments are encouraged as this is my first story.
