Good Morning, glad to hear that 'Hurley' wasn't "a dumped in the country" dog. He, er, she was a pretty girl and will doubtless be placed with a good home through the Malamute Rescue. Just posting your No. 3 picture should get the telephone ringing at their place.
Well, OT, this another great day for the great outdoors, painting and planting, productive hobbits we are.
Mmm...planting...
I still have a few square feet of dirt along the front of the house to churn up, and then hopefully will make a frame to go around that will make it look tidier, and hold soil in. Then I'm going to bring over as much soil as I can recoup from the vegetable garden and plant my bulbs.
If Cisco doesn't dig 'em up, I'll have a pretty nifty display come spring. But that may be a big if.
Indeed, I'm glad Hurley got home safe. It wasn't safe for her/him to be loose on the road.
How'd the woman get your number anyhow? Did she call the pound, or did she see the flyer at the store?
Whew!
All windows in the front are done and I got one coat on the two in the back. If I'm not too terribly lazy I'll put a second coat on after the race. They look all nice and bright....hope the neighbors aren't expecting me to do the siding right now. I'll get that done after the car is paid off next year.
After looking over my finances, I figure it's time for me to quit when my debt equals two years of my pre-tax income, and I have no guarantee of any job after December. I had hoped to take a loan against my 401k to cover costs, if needed, but I don't have enough.
ecurbh, we might as well put a "going out of business" sign on the site right now. I'll send out the rest of the stuff I have on hand, including the few last items coming in. There will be hundreds of troops that won't get a thing. Some have been waiting a year with the backlog we have. I have email addresses on all of them, and will make it clear it was my fault, and not that of the organization, which still has a heart of gold.
I just cannot express the remorse at leaving these requests unfilled.
My deepest regrets go out to the troops, and you people here. But I'm afraid it's time for me to concern myself with my financial survival.
