Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

Rain and 66. Had a nice lightning show with this storm. Only looking for 81.

Paul, glad you a had a nice day off to get your birthday started.

MFW, congrats on your home sale. Seems odd to not seek an inspection...think the buyer will develop it as a neighborhood or build an entirely new house?

Sharpened the zero turn blades, and scraped about 100 lbs of moldy grass crud from under the mower deck yesterday, enough weight to tear the old tarp in half as I was dragging the pile away. But it sure cuts well now...glad I got most everything mowed, even though I had to cut about an inch higher due to the grass height and moisture content. I'm sure I need to clean the deck again...after things dry out.

RNG, I heard yesterday that California shut down enough natural gas power plants to equal double the current electric grid shortage. Not good planning since solar sleeps at night, and I guess the state didn't put in a battery system like you and David. Do you have a date planned to do a "dry" run coordinated drill of all your disaster recovery systems?

David/MFW, marvelous, hope it all goes easily.

Paul, those walk behind string trimmers are fun to use, just beat the crap out of everything, very powerful...

nice surprise this afternoon when I tried the voice activation on Audi nav system and it started working again. :thumbsup:
I guess they were trying to pressure me to pay for the extra service which I don't need, don't want, etc by turning it off temporarily.

couldn't find a PO drop box in any local shopping center (were they removed??...) so went to one of the Greenville PO offices and dropped off
a bill payment. Was close to ECU campus and lots of students walking around. Only 15 minutes to get most places for me, really convenient, took a new "back way" home past a variety of manufactured housing developments, lot of lower income folk in this area.

USPS has been removing thousands of less used boxes since at least 2008-2010.

Good morning! It was a chilling 69˚F this morning briefly. 70˚F now, wet bulb temp is 64˚F, humidity 76%.

Pjs happy birthday.
David M, wow that was a fast sale, congratulations. Has the contract on your new place been accepted?

Heading out to the Park, our neighborhood group of 6 to 15 people should be hitting 800 volunteer hours this week. We are starting on the primitive camping sites this morning so there is a little more ground work to remove tripping hazards. Temp is supposed to stay below 90 before noon, high today only 97˚F, could this be the end of 100˚ days?

I wish we were all in Hawaii, having a beer at David and Sophies....taking turns helping him mow....(before any barley pops).

Having had the distinct privilege of beer & dinner with David & Sophie atop their mountain paradise, it's totally worth the trip.

Woke up thinking about what all I need to get done today at work....time management.

Ted, good job on the project.

Maybe some tropical storms headed to Gulf.

Awesome Awesome Awesome. YOU HAVE TO KEEP US TUNED IN BETTER ABOUT YOUR NEW DIGS.... (i demand it )

Kyle,

I promise a "Moving Mossflower" or similar thread... I PROMISE!

OK, there are just too many great comments I can't quote all of you, but even though I am rarely here, y'all still feel like family and I love each & every one of you very much.

Here are some answers...

The new place belongs to my BFF and no I've not written the contract, but I will as soon as we are in the same place. Much of this plan was his, he is VERY successful real estate developer (mostly commercial).

Both my realtor and I were shocked at "No Inspection" because you can see my house need TLC, I was planning to bulldoze it except for the basement. No idea why.

The buyers spoke with me a bit on Sunday. They are 4 brothers and all their family. They want a weekend/family fun/escape place.

I gave them permission and they spent well over an hour in 4x4 running my trails and exploring the property. I told them about the timber, the Bass in the pond, etc.

Yes, I need to start packing, but I need to think first, I will be living in the house (plus my daughter during visitation) during the remodel, so I need to pack the stuff I really need, and the stuff for later differently. I also need to consider the plan for storage of stuff not needed immediately.

I have a million questions for myself, I've never done a remodel, I've watched a ton of "Fixer-Upper" though!!!

LOL!!!

PS - It is fricken RAINING again!!! and Coffee is delicious. I went out singing Karaoke last night until midnight...

Be well all of you!

David
