Not sure if I'm back, just coming around for a quick checkup.
Just hanging out in Portland for another month, though setting up our residency for Oregon so that we have some sort of address. Will be staying in the Seattle area for about a month while the tiny house gets finished, and then hitting the road, probably end of May or in June.

Checking in here just to leave a vapor trail and see how things are.

Very icky.

I WANT MY MOTHERBOARD YOU BASTARDS. 

I would have preferred Sanders, however I'll wind up voting for Clinton because I see her terms to be functionally equivalent to Obama.  Everything bad would get rubberstamped by a republican, and some good will happen.
And I don't have my backup plan of having a cross country vehicle capable of fending off hordes of mutants ready yet.

Post #22,222 for me. Perhaps I should make this my last post under this name, start a new account and handle. Just to keep the symmetry.
 
Yeah, right! Who am I kidding?

Have now changed location from Southern Utah (Kanab) back up to Portland, Oregon.
 
Last Monday, got the moving truck and lots of people helped pack it with two expert Tetris masters getting everything in.
Only hiccups was the crate I was packing my computer room stuff into got put on the truck before most of the computers were put in the truck, and some loose parts got put in other boxes and onto the truck.  (And then the final packing of the computer room was still to be done.)   Wasn't a huge deal then, but made the setting up the computer room smoothly at the destination more difficult.
Tuesday morning, woke up to snow on the ground and bad weather from Kanab to Boise.  Truck was heavy enough, that the snow didn't really matter much, but at least in Utah, it seemed if we hit the wrong type of bump, the truck would go into a weird harmonic dance that felt like the truck would tip over. Figured out how to spot the road conditions that caused that and slowed down when needed...
Got into Boise around 9pm, took off early the next morning and drove thru very nice weather arriving in Portland around 2pm.   A bit early for the landlord, but his son was able to let us into the apartment.  And since most of my friends work, I did most of the unloading.  A few showed up and we got the truck done at 8pm.
Thursday was return the truck, run some errands including getting a new phone.  (I now have a "smart" phone).   Friday, I drove to San Diego for my cousin's wedding on Saturday.   Today, I'm having an early dinner with friends, then driving back to Portland part way tonight, and finishing tomorrow.
I think Tuesday will be an all sleep day...

Well, after 2+ years of part-time employment (and job-hunting for full-time) I have been offered full-time employment with the City of Boise. More money, 40 hrs a week, all the bennies (and they are city gov't type bennies).
 
And the call came today, on my 27th wedding anniversary. It's been a pretty damn good day today.

Blue Oyster Cult is coming to San Antonio next month!!!

Congrats! Nothing like Government Bennies

Moving back to Portland, OR at the end of the month!   Looking forward to many things.

Checks mic.
