Nice work!

Way to many to list.#-o

Very unusual day here. Started out with slight rain on the morning walk with a nice breeze. Only getting up to about 85 for a high today which is about 5 degrees less than the normal morning low. I'm liking it!

Been going through the moving process and have been doing boxes and stuff that we could fit in the car and friend's SUV over this past month. Just moving about a half mile away into a different apt. Moving the big stuff like beds, dressers and tables will happen tomorrow.

Rented a Uhaul. They better have it, I reserved it a month ago. I called today and they said its ready and waiting.
Looks like the weather will cooperate so that's good.
Me, my son and a few friends will try to bang it out in one day.
Then the process of unpacking (ugh)

Prolly live out of boxes for a week or so until we get settled in and unboxed. My Son is starting college so he wanted to move in with me and we found a place we both kinda like. I'd prefer something more modern but our time schedule was constrained. Lease on the current place was do for a renewal by the end of Aug (technically yesterday) but landlord gave us a cushion to get things moved out since the new renter isn't moving in until the end of Sept.

I knew we had to find another place for a couple months but rentals here in this area are crazy. Visited many but they didn't fit my expectations. When I found one that fit my expectations it was grabbed by someone else. For some reason houses and apts get snapped up pretty quickly in this area and it's not a buyers market. I entertained the idea of buying a house I'm too old to lock into a mortgage at the current rates and stuff. I'll continue renting for now.

It will be a busy day tomorrow and through the weekend. Hopefully I don't die moving boxes and furniture.

Wishing you a successful move Bucky. Been down the moving road a number of times.5 houses and last move apt living in now.

Good luck 🍀.

Good luck with the move Bucky, remember if you throw it away you don't have to move it or unpack it later.

I've done some purging of stuff that I don't need. With that said, I do squirrel away stuff like computer parts when I was rebuilding computers to give away. "I might need this 320 GB SCSI hard drive someday. I might need this 128 MB RAM stick someday if I rebuild an old Dell or something."

Truth be told, that's really old stuff. Probably 10+ years old and have never needed them so I should just trash them. Funny enough while going though some of the stuff, I was talking to my Son (18 yrs old). I have laptop computers that are older than my two kids, I have cigars that are older then my two kids. Why am I not ditching the old computer stuff and smoking my older cigars? I have no clear answer to that question.

On a side note:

Last summer (2002) me and the kids flew back to WI to visit my family (Dad was not doing well, but has gotten better). One weekend while at my brothers house, he took us out shooting. My brother knows a guy that has a farm and part of his land in the farm the guy set up a gun range. It was the first time my kids shot a real gun. The first part was my brother teaching them about gun safety. Very important and very critical. After that learning lecture he explained the guns. He went first for shooting to show them the appropriate stuff. Then he let the kids shoot. We started with small caliber revolvers, then some small caliber semiautomatic pistols, then move on to some .22 rifles, and eventually some shot guns.

Back to the computer story. One of the targets he brought was some of his older hard drives that needed to be disposed of. The kids did a good job of killing them off. My daughter is the nicest person you'd meet. On that day she was the best shooter. 14 yr old, first time shooting a gun and she had more target wins than the me and my son.

Happy Saturday 500 posters. [ram27bat]
