Can you tell we're getting our house on the market?

Where you moving 99?

Minneapolis, to be closer to grandkids.

When are you putting your house on the market? Not a super fun time to be selling a house right now.

Very nice! Bet you'll love it. And back to the Central time zone.

Unrelated, but I'm in Louisville now but can't make it east.

I got pretty loaded at Doc Crow's. Good oysters too. Enjoy the 'Ville.

Next week or 2. Trying to get the youngest daughter settled before we skip town.

Completely random, I received my first senior discount today. Not sure how I feel about that.

Whenever someone asks me what's the best meal I've had on a vacation, I tell them Doc Crow's.

ousdahl, I'd ask to speak with 'the guy' you would be assisting. Is he a jerk? Does he want you on the ladder while he watches you work? Is he getting paid $70 while you are getting $20 (not that there is anything wrong with that). Do you have to listen to Fox radio? Is he only available when the sun is shining on the deck (i.e. hot)? Maybe he will hire you so that you only have one boss rather than two.
Make it a one-man job, use 'the man's' equipment, and take payment for the job rather than by the hour (IMO and if you are good at estimates).

I am always cool with getting a discount. My back and leg remind me daily that I will deserve a senior discount once they are available to me.

I'm finally at the age where I don't get carded to buy liquor.

LOL, yup

Queen Latifah as "The Equalizer" might be one of the most ridiculous castings ever.

Gas waa steadily dropping for a month or so...down to 4.19. Then in the last 2 days its jumped back to 5.25? What happened, what did I miss?

Stop going to Astro

Plano is moving to the Seattle area tomorrow

Really looking forward to the 90% reduction in Let’s Go Brandon bumper stickers and MAGA hats in North Idaho

hope you like traffic and drizzle.

and hope Seattle area doesn't include south of Seattle or you may see the same stickers and hats.



Why would one trade Courd'alene for Seattle? Courd'alene is so damn pretty and comparatively less full of people and urbanity (I know thats not word but I typed it and I like it)

I like water and Mountains.

And, the almost criminal amount of money I am being paid.

Coeur d’Alene is beautiful, no doubt.
But Western Washington is pretty freaking beautiful too
