So...It Begins!


 Well, Campers, there's a bit of "firsts" involved in this post.  First, this is my first post done entirely on my Mac Laptop.  Still getting a bit used to it, and there are a lot of similar actions to my old PC, but there are also a lot of procedures that are done completely differently on the Mac.  Still does the same thing, however the keystroking is different.  So...Patience juvat!  

Yeah, right...Me? Patient?  

This is gonna be a fairly short post as there is another "First" in progress.  As I've mentioned before, we've made the decision to sell our property in "The Burg" and move to College Station to be closer to family.  That began yesterday.

You may remember this picture from a couple of posts ago.

 
 
Well, Saturday, Mrs. J declared "Fight's on" (a peacetime air to air radio call to start an air to air fight).  It was quite an engagement.  We had the dumpster delivered on Friday. My first thought was "Man, that's huge, we're not going to need a second one."

8' W X 10'H x40'L. Nah Never gonna fill it





 Remember what I said the "Junk expands to meet available space"?  I have complete proof that that's the case.



However, we have made considerable progress on the storage closet.  Yes, Beans, we were ruthless.  Unless we had a confirmed need for "stuff", military records, a walker etc. it was going to da dump!  


 Got some sweeping to do and a little more "disposing" and some replacing shelving at the far end of the area in the picture.  But, this will be the place where we store the stuff from the main house to declutter it and ready it to be sold.  

Still got the back porch to cleanse.  What little room we have left in the dumpster will undoubtedly be filled, Maybe, just maybe, we can get a smaller/less expensive dumpster.  In all likelihood, that's not gonna happen.  But, one can hope.

But, I've been sleeping well at night.  A little (OK a lot) stiff and sore in the morning, but "It 'tis what it 'tis".

Peace out y'all.

  2. That's a good sized dumpster juvat, neighbor across the street has one in his driveway (he's moving also) that is maybe three quarters as high. Amazing how things accumulate over the years eh?
