Since you'll have a lot of catching up to do when you return I'm predicting now that you'll have at least 20 posts in a 3 minute span. Hurry back Rob.
...I hate moving about as much as I hate painting.
...the only good thing about moving is that you stumble upon stuff that you thought you lost years ago.
Thanks guys, I thought my I-Net was getting turned off this morning right away. I forgot this IS Sunday, so early am, tomorrow, a week or more or less of NO I-Net, I'll have to start smoking again, to handle the withdrawals....
I hired a crew of 4 guys, and was astounded how fast, they emptied 90% of this house, in short time. Tomorrow comes the hard part, moving all the furniture and boxes, up a tri-level home, those stairs are going to kill me.
Just assisting these movers by carrying one to many heavy boxes, has me feeling broken in half. I'm walking like an old man, who's head only faces the ground. I've already fkd up, my back of metal, by lifting a couple boxes of heavy stuff. Kim, like my Mom only stands back shakes her head, in disbelief, as she's worn out of warning me to not do this or that.
Tomorrow, and the days to come, I'll be ONLY being a traffic cop for the movers, and I'm not picking up anything heavier than a beer bottle.
Keeping up a big house, at this age, has become impossible, plus the horrid 50 mph constant desert winds, with dirt in the air, make this Desert Valley as bad of Air Quality as LAX, no shit. To far away from any & everything, I had to plan any trip to town like a Mission, forget one thing, and I'd be fkd.
We bought a 3 story Town house, on the Northern Foothills of the San Gabriels, about 45 miles south of our old home. Located in b/t Lancaster/Palmdale, and Victorville. We will get some dusting of snow, yearly, have less hot of Summers, with access to the Peach, Plum, Pluot, Almond, Cherry, and Apple Orchards....looking forward to it. This may be our last retirement home, tho' we were originally going to head to Coos Bay Oregon, maybe somewhere in years down the road, perhaps....
NTM- the foothill soil, is some of the riches soil, I've seen in California, less Napa Valley, San Joaquin & a few other Wine/Grape farms. Now I can go back to having my Garden every year. (the old place was just to fkng hot, to grow a damned thing at all. IF whatever I planted took root, and hold, beginning to yield flowers, or tomatoes, the effing ground squirrel chipmunks, once stripped a 10 foot long X 4 feet high, Morning Glory bush, down in only a ocuple of hours, when I wasn't at home. I returned, and could NOT even find the roots where I planted that Ivy like bush.
Thanks Guys, and I hope to see you all sooner than latter.
