Good morning!!!!

guys, you are too much....and greatly appreciated.

reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated, but boy am I running on E.
grueling last day of moving van packing, outside in 93 degree weather, just the day that never ended.
Hopefully the movers hit the road yesterday as I did. But no call yet as to when they will show up this morning.

it's too early to discuss this,I need coffee and tylenol for sure, but my discussion with the neighboring young man went well. Thankfully. Contrite and embarrassed are good terms here, and no permanent record. But he knows he screwed up with me and he understood he is history if I ever have to worry about his honesty. I think he shamed himself pretty well and learned from it.

asleep at 8pm up at 3am. groan. So exhausted yesterday...but can't sleep past seven hours. Headed to the local deli for breakfast and come back waiting for the movers. If I can find where I packed my camera, maybe I can get some pics.

the idea of sleeping in my own bed tonight in my new home is going to get me through a long day.

thanks Guys for looking out for me. Kinda nice when I'm all by myself.

Glad to see you're up and about, Drew...

Moving is a major PITA and it'll take a while before you're all squared away....but with that beautiful estate you bought, it'll all be worth it!

59F this morning with clear skies, I think. It's too dark to tell for sure.

Glad you took the time to check in Drew and hope your move-in day is not too stressful. If your bed is ready and you know where your toothbrush is, you are good to go. The rest will wait. :laughing: Sounds like your discussion with the neighbor produced a good result.

thank you Roy and Dave. I have complete privacy here, surrounded by trees on the perimeter and very open in the middle, where all that lawn is. This is a huge project for me, but I needed one. Just need to take it slowly. My family wanted me to buy a townhouse at the shore and do lunch, etc. No... I want my hands in the dirt. At least while I physically can.
So I strap on my wrist bands and elbow bands and back braces and whatever so I look like the Michelin Man and I can get stuff done if I use my head. If....

I wonder what it will cost to have a locksmith drill/cut off three high security locks on my public storage lockers?
The movers had possession of the keys and now they are "looking for them"...

The other trucker comes next Wednesday to pick up the smaller tractor and most of the ag implements. And he can't melt those locks off like Superman.

67 this morning high of 82 later but more rain is now on the horizon. Drew hopefully you get all moved in before the rain hits you later this weekend.
Sounds like your talk went well and a mutual understanding was reached. Good very good indeed

The moving company if the keys are lost would be responsible for any and all costs incurred

Take it nice and easy you have all the time you need to get this done then look back and take stock at what you have accomplished

Poured first cup of coffee. 55° with some clouds this morning. Heading to 79° with chance of thunderstorms late in afternoon. Need to cut grass again. Spending most of my time talking about our travels with our visiting friends.
Drew, you need to relax more.
Good Morning All.

Ron,

Thanks.

What will be really impressive is if I can get it completed and actually get a "done" on it ... lol ...

At any rate, the real fun is in the journey ...

You are obviously an accomplished iron worker / engineer. Great work
Oh and by the way the Mrs Red Bird was on the feeder yesterday raising sand again and it's apparent like some women she can't do a thing with her hair or feathers so to speak
