Hello my friends!

Still un the middle of packing and preparing for my move to Texas.

I have worked my last shift at present employer and have a Monday morning meeting to turn in gear, equipment, and my duty weapon, the off to HR to sign papers making my leaving employment official and begin my “retirement.”

At the end of next week I drive to Texas with my daughter who will be living in Austin.

I will be renting from a friend for a month before moving to another rental when my wife and son arrive.

Our house is almost ready to go in the market.

My well was finally drilled and we have 20+ GPM at 480 ft. When I get down there I will be meeting with my contractor and the well driller to finalize where the storage tank and pump house will be.

I start my new career on thr 23rd.

Things are happening!

Ern! Good deal! Congratulations!

Are you going to figure out if there are any fruit trees you can start growing now and get them going? Olives? Grape vines? Fig trees? (I have no feel for Central TX conditions....like KS, Hot in summer.... Presumably below zero at times in the winter?
