Monday, Monday, So Good to me!

 Well, Campers, it's been quite a week, both personally and nationally.

On the national front, I don't have much to say.  Frankly, I'd like to solve problems between nations on a diplomatic front.  And, I suppose most current and former military personnel, especially those in combat organizations, would prefer the same option be taken.  

But, when diplomacy hasn't worked for, what? 40 some odd years?  And the same fecal matter is still being flung at us, it's about time, IMHO, to up the costs.  Looks like the Israelis have been doing an outstanding job taking out some targets.  It also seems that the promises of the B-2 capabilities were true.

I know, I know, but I just liked the picture for some reason! ;-)

Well done, lads.

As for comments yesterday about comeback from Iran, I ask, with what?  It seems the only weapon they have now is "refugees" in the US.  That's definitely a concern, but what logistics chain is going to keep them supplied/paid/armed?  I also suspect many of them will turn in their weapons and ask for asylum.  The government of Iran is virtually dead. Who's going to support them? Again, IMHO. 

Anyhow, we'll see what we will see.  There was an interesting article yesterday that said people should legally arm themselves if possible. Just in case you ran into the wrong someone/something, well… better safe than sorry.

Ok, on with the show.  Been a very long week and while I tried to help out with postings, frankly I was one, very busy getting the house ready to sell as well as move, resulting in... two, I was very, very tired.  I had one post that didn't make it to life.  I had it in the ready rack and when I went to edit, refine and publish it, it had disappeared.  Entirely, possible I hit a button marked delete thinking that was the original Roman word for publish.  

Who knows?

But, Beans and Tuna did a great job keeping the blog up and running. Good on ya' Mates!

 Mrs J. did a fantastic job figuring out and prioritizing the things that needed to be done.  The Listing goes live today, and we've already got somebody that might be interested.

Breakfast!  Cab is in front, Merlot is behind her

 

As many of you may know, we have two horses (Cabernet and Merlot).  I had gone to my hay supplier and while paying up, he'd asked me if our property was up for sale yet.  (We had previously talked about our moving.) 

I told him it was going up shortly, he asked for all the particulars, which I gave him along with the realtor's info.  Seems the lady involved lives in the Dominion in San Antonio (a very pricey/ritzi area) and her daughter raises and trains horses.  The lady was getting on in age and was looking for a place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle while also helping her daughter do her stuff.

So....Maybe.  We'll see.

On the other side of this transition, we went over to College Station last weekend.  We wanted another look at the house we were interested in.  It had been on the market for a very (very, very) long time and we had spent a lot of time looking at pictures of it and asking the realtor questions about things we observed in the photos.  Things were not going in the right directions.  Unfortunately, our realtor's father was admitted to the ER with AFIB the day we got there, and, she was unavailable.  We swung by the house anyhow and saw this.

I find it hard to believe we missed this on our previous visits, so maybe something new?

 

Hadn't seen that before. and that was the final straw.  Texted the agent that picture and she agreed, I don't know if that damage was new, but I doubt we'd have overlooked it.

Anyhow, the realtor’s father was doing better after his ER visit, so she set up an appointment with us for another house she thought we might like for the next day.  We drove by just to get a quick look.

Pretty nice!

The next day we visited the house and had a walk through.  Very nice, and, even nicer, in our price range.  The only down thumb was no fence for the dogs.  Easy enough to fix. 

The green trees are along the hill above the Brazo's River.  Yes the house is outside the flood plain.

Could be the one!  We'll see.  So, potential buyer and potential seller.  Somebody just MAY be looking out for us.  As I said, we'll see! But, we’ve got 4 more identified as possible, so…we got that going for us!

Oh, and Happy Birthday to my Brother should he happen to read this! :-) 

Peace out, y'all!
