News From the Red Devil 232 Family.
Mrs. Red Devil and I just returned from a brief trip to our home in Mississippi. We loaded up my F-150 crew cab and her car with everything we could get into them to store in a storage unit.
We had to make this trip so we could leave one of the vehicles in Mississippi, as we are renting a Ryder Truck on Tuesday loading it up and driving to Mississippi on Wed.
We will have help loading the truck here in Texas. Mrs.Red Devil asked the neighbor kid (17) if he would help us load the truck for $100 and if he had a friend who could also help for another $100. He said yes. An outside contractor wanted $80/per person/hour. We needed the help because my right hip has been giving me a lot of problems recently! I expect that we can load the truck in 5-6 hours. Good pay day for the helpers. If we leave early, 3-4am on Wed. we will have 2 and a half days to unload in Mississippi before we have to turn the rental truck in.
Lots of work for us to do next week. Everything here is already boxed and labeled, except for a few essentials, and the fridge, freezer, washer and dryer. So it is a matter of just loading them on a dolly and getting it up the ramp and on the truck.
Wish us luck!
Oh by the way my fig trees are doing great. Nice breba crop that will be ready for picking soon and a great new growth crop of figs for later in August or early Sept. One pear tree will produce some nice pears for canning this fall.
Forgive me for the long post, but we also added a couple of additions to the Red Devil family. Two 8 week old mixed breed Terrier pups male and female. Pics to come soon as I can, we can’t locate our camera right now. Boy what a lively pair they are! I will have to teach them how to garden and respect the garden next year. The Pups were a gift from one of Mrs. Red Devil’s co-workers. MRS.RD after seeing them could not refuse giving them a home. Cute little critters, they are.
We will be disconnected from the internet from Monday till we can get service up in Mississippi.
Another by the way. Both Mississippi houses have passed a law and the Governor has signed a new law (effective July 1) allowing any Mississippian, who is not otherwise disqualified, to openly carry a gun, with or without a permit. A permit is still required if the weapon is concealed.

Another by the way. My Alma Mater Mississippi State University (MSU) is playing UCLA in the finals for the College World Series on Monday night on ESPN. I am a lucky guy, going home, new Pups, and GO DAWGS!
When I think about moving like you are doing, I hurt all over. I don’t have another move in me. I’ll be glad when it is over for you so I won’t think about it any more. How’s that for my thinking of me instead of you?
I’m glad you are getting back to that great garden like it was when you put pictures on here. You are truly a master.
Great gun laws!
Outstanding news on all fronts it seems. I didn’t think the post was too long either. Always glad to hear the latest news. Looking forward to seeing your pictures. Have a safe trip.
Safe trips back and forth from here to MS, RD. Happy to hear you’ve added to your family. Happy to hear your Gov has some backbone when it comes to citizen safety.
Yay for your puppies and MS gun law, and prayers up for your trip!
