Good morning. Happy Twosday!

It looks like kitteh is recharging his solar panels.

We have two very good offers we’re trying to choose from. The contingency person offered a whopping 80K more than the asking price, but the contingency plus the huge jump in the offer makes Mrs. ArGee, B-I-L, and our realtor nervous. The two we like are one from a young couple that is looking for a starter home, and one from the brother of woman who owns the house next door so they can age in place near each other. I’m tending toward the brother (who is also offering more) but Mrs. ArGee is tending toward the younger couple.

I also suggested Mrs. ArGee check with the estate lawyer about what her legal responsibilities are. She didn’t want to do that.

Anyway, hopefully this drama all ends today and we can think about planning our move.

Good Morning!

It took a while, but we are clearly in our typical Summer pattern... hot (but not overly so) and dry...

No help from yellow squares today...

Congratulations! I hope you have it all nailed down soon. Where are you planning to move, again?

Kathleen spilled flour all over the pantry, which has inspired a pantry clean-out. Good thing it’s trash day!

I also inventoried the freezers (house, garage) in a probably vain effort to get my husband to stop buying more of what we already have too much of.

Our home is in the wilds of PA. We just got notified that the internet carrier we’ve had there forever is finally putting fiber in the area and taking us off DSL (sometime in the next 2 years).

It’s not quite where we have to use StarLink, but it’s on the edge.

“Sometime in the next two years.” Well, maybe it will be sooner.

Maybe if you start measuring in his man-cave for storage space that you will need to check regularly he'll cut back.

I could suggest that we move the freezer from the garage to the sunroom (office/man-not-cave) so that he can pay more attention to what’s in there.

You got the coveted quad four post...

Hopefully those fires burn out soon...

A pantry clean out is always a good thing!

I make a big effort to keep the chest freezer very well organized with like items in their own trays... it helps to avoid finding things that should have been used sooner, and lets us know how much we have of everything...

Starlink was a life saver for us... after years of crappy and expensive satellite services and cellular-based solutions that just never delivered enough bandwidth under the best conditions... our only complaint is the Starlink sometimes loses connection with the satellite during a very heavy downpour... 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ours gets cleaned out when it’s time to defrost it. If I can get him to use some of what’s in there without buying more, we might get to the point of emptying it for a meltdown by, say, the end of September.

I guess that ours must be frost-free as I can’t recall ever emptying it to defrost…

I thought it was a cute photo.

On the other hand, I had visions of Monty Python when someone goes to pet the dog and it goes all rabbit on him.

The siblings all voted for the young couple. The next door neighbor seems to think we didn’t give her brother a chance. He’s saying he had an escalation clause and he knows we didn’t ask him to escalate to his top offer. But apparently the price itself wasn’t the deciding factor.

Ours is well over 20 years old. The lid doesn’t seal quite as firmly as it used to, and it gets humidity in it.
