A very good friend of mine wrote a book. Secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls

If you don’t recognize the name, it’s a pen name. Jamie Head was probably not considered a good name for an author. If you check the book out and wish to read it, it’s available on Amazon for Kindle download. I’m not sure if it will come out in book form.

After a harrowing drive through Illinois, we are now in the relative safety of Missouri at a Steak and Shake. We’ll do the lunch thing and then hit the road again.

Still shooting for a THURSDAY return home.

Packed the Jeep this morning and will be heading out shortly. Not sure of our route just yet, but westward is a good bet. We’ll be back sometime Thursday if all goes well. Tori, tell the old bat when we’ll be back.

Condo is mostly empty. Should arrive in NM on Monday. That batty old broad has more crap than any person should be allowed to have.

Dat’s it for now. Check in later maybe.

• Got here and the elevator broke just as the movers got started.
• Condo Ass. Pres. claimed that we’re in violation with this move.
• Condo mgmt. company called and I straightened that out.
• Climbed the stairs to the condo after stepping out for a moment and got to my floor and there’s an older guy with a walker coming down so I help him buy carrying the walker down for him and had to climb the 4 floors again.

Can’t wait to see what’s next.

EDIT: I may have the place sold already. Another tenant on this floor wants to pay $90K for this unit, no commission or fees. He’ll gut, renovate and flip the unit. Nina’s considering this offer seriously.

AGAIN WITH THE EDIT: Elevator is up and running again. Condo is emptying at a rapid rate. Realtor just left and we’re eating lunch now. Murphy must have left the building.

Last night at the Kleyweg’s house we had a ball. Ed, Nan, Don, Sue , Nina, and myself had a ball together. It was the first time in years that we all were together and the insults and jibes flew.

Ed looks like the oldest of the bunch, but he said he’s fine with that when confronted with his senility. His son was there to, Ryan, and he was a handful. Cute kid but kinda active. Don, Nan, Nina, Sue and I all looked great but DAMN Ed, get a toupee.

Great night with old friends. It was very good.

I didn’t watch it. I had no money on the game and I don’t care about overpaid, self-important, men playing games.

Today’s Agenda

• In 5 minutes I get to wake my bride. Getting her up at 6 a.m. always brings a smile to my face.
• Going to ML’s to meet the packing team and we will supervise their efforts.
• Lunch locally in ML’s area, hopefully pizza.
• Back to ML’s to finish the packing supervisory duties.
• Head back to Mom’s and possibly clean up. ML’s condo is not the most sanitary place on the planet. Some 15 years of dust and other less than good stuff tends to stick to you when you’re there.
• Dinner at the Kleyweg’s tonight. Norketts and Johnson will be there, I hope. Should be a fun night. Mom’s invited, but she declined.
• Ed will bring his kid. Cute kid, but damn, a 5 year old at his age. Better him than me. Erin is 4 and spends a lot of time with us, but she goes home frequently and also is gone on the weekends.

Tomorrow’s Agenda

• Movers come to empty the place. Should be a great stress off the building with that weight gone.
• Once they’re gone we will survey what’s left and make a decision about the best way to handle that stuff.  Salvation Army will get a call and if they want any of it, they’ll be welcome, but otherwise it’s going with Waste Management at a later date.
• Then shortly thereafter we need to list the dump.

Lawyers believe a man is innocent until proven broke.

Pictures later. Just a few from Montrose Harbor.

I know that global climate change will treat us better this month. I mean how heartless could global climate change be? I always thought that the crappy weather we’ve been experiencing was cyclic, but those damned liberals have convinced me that global climate change, not to be confused with global warming, is our fault. It’s pretty obvious to me now, we as a species suck the big one for what we are causing on this planet. Not just our planet, but the United States in particular. WE REALLY SUCK. China and South America, major polluters in my mind, are guiltless because they’re such backward nations, but the U.S. of A. is a tech-giant and we should solve these problems for the world.

But I’m ranting. I tend to rant when I have time to think. I tend to think when I drive long distances. It’s better when I don’t think and just say Happy February Everyone!
