Just nevermind about Ga Tech or LSU... or the Braves. I am almost afraid to watch UGA vs SC or the Falcons tomorrow against the Redskins.
BTW GA is #5 and SC is #6 in the rankings, not 6 and 7 like some other idiot said above.

We finally closed on our house up in Iowa yesterday. Almost a month later than we were told it would happen. :(

So, now we have a few bucks to spend remodeling the new(ish) house so we went out looking at appliances and countertops today. The house we bought was built in 1989 and has the original appliances and counter tops. Amazingly, it was well taken care of and everything is like new, but it's really dated looking and it's just a matter of time before the oven and blows up. 23 years is a long life for an appliance.

It was fun, but I get tired and cranky after a while. I like to go get something and be done with it, not go to 15 stores, compare prices, features, appearances, it drives me crazy.

But it was good to get away from the computer a while and to finally know our house is officially sold. Get the check on Monday.

I spent the day trying to earn some rent money.  This entailed driving 3.5 hours to the destination (Bend Overagain Oregon), putting out a bunch of those boxes and tubes that count traffic (while avoiding being hit), then driving back those 3.5 hours.  Yay.

What Am I doing today. Since it's 12:01Am I'm off to bed.

Well... that sounds exciting. Yesterday... I went canvasing door to door with a PAC asking voters a single question...... which I can not repeat here due to the TOS.... it was political....... we used Ipad looking gizmo's which had all the into in them, including maps and GPS and the survey was in it too.... no clipboards and pens needed.... high tech red neck came to mind more than once.....

Then home for lunch, to hang out for a few hours and then off to a wedding to see "My other daughter" get married. She is not actually my daughter but was a very close friend of both of my daughters and referred to herself as my "other daughter". It was a  lovely marriage at a beautiful cabin by a pair of lakes back in the woods.... good time had by all.... 

Home to bed.....

I heard you on that outside work before winter.

I have a practical approach to this.
 
Leave it for now and when Winter comes you can say to yourself, free from any kind of guilt, "it's far too cold to do it now".

I'm sitting on a lovely Metro North train rattling up the beautiful Hudson River having taken the day off from everything to go visit a friend upstate. The fresh air...the trees...the mountains. We'll be playing Mario Karts for money and drinking beer, as usual.
