Intent to Vacate
19 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
What a week! But I made it and it is done. Everything was packed in my storage unit. Friday they notified me that the movers would be here on Sunday. That gave me a little extra time. Saturday I finished packing and kinda organized the van, made a last run to Goodwill. And submitted my "intent to vacate" at Northgate Storage.

This morning I went to the storage unit early to wait for Arena Van Lines to show up. About 11am I called them to get an ETA. And was told that they weren't coming til Monday. That pissed me off but not much I could do about it. So.....I went to Rudy's and picked up some BBQ for later, dropped it at David's and went to Wendy's. I intended to.make cranberry sauce for her but first I needed a little nap. BUT.... the moving company called to apologize and notify me that they WERE COMING TODAY. She said they would be there between 4 & 5.

So. Back. To. The. Storage unit I went.... Then Serge, the mover calls to tell me he is stuck in traffic and is not sure when he'll get there.

They finally arrived a.little after 6. Serge is from Uzbekistan, and the other guy is from Tajikistan. It took them about 2 hours or so to pack & load everything. It was.probably good they came Sunday evening since there was.no one there. Also took an hour for the paperwork. But it's done and the estimate was very close.

Tomorrow I head to SeattleЧитать далее

Since my route out of Austin would take me right by my old neighborhood I decided to stop at El Camino Reale for a quick breakfast. They make the absolute best spinach omelets. And who knows when I'll ever get a chance to have another. So regardless of the fact that it would delay my progress, I decided to have a sit down breakfast.

There are a lot of things I will really miss about Austin and Texas.

I hope I will find people & places to love in Renton, Seattle and Washington State!Читать далее

Can I Make It To Seattle in Time For Pie
21 ноября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 45 °F
Does it really matter if I make it to Seattle for Thanksgiving? NO, it really shouldn't. But it seems silly to only almost make it. The drive is going smoothly.

I've listened to 2 books so far. I stared Gulliver's Travels while in Austin. Part of my goals to read more of the classics. Although many think of it as a children's book, much of it would go way over any kid's head. It was very interesting. And now I know where the term 'Ya-Hoo' comes from 🐸 !

Next I listened to a podcast David sent me a link to, which was also fascinating. I definitely intend to continue to explore some of the stuff on the current Gender Craze. And press him to send me info about shows he watches & podcasts he listens to

Next, I listened to a Deep Into The Dark by P. J. TRACY, a current best selling author. It was an engrossing mystery crime novel involving a vet with PTSD.

And.....the scenery is sometimes beautiful along the wayЧитать далее

2023 is Almost Over
2 декабря 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
I made it to Seattle for Thanksgiving. And now it's December 2023. The year is coming to a close. Will there be anymore major events in the next 30 days?

I spent Thanksgiving weekend ar Heather & Joshua's. I took Odin to my condo for a little bit one day. He approves of the van and the condo. I've ordered him a better booster seat for the van. The little inflatable one is not secure or comfortable enough. I am still having doubts about the van. It is going to be a challenge parking in some places. And I won't be able to take both grand kids with me until Odin's big enough to sit in a front seat. But....there are lots of plusses to it to.

Things I like about my Solis (so far);
1. Having heat at night & especially in the morning.
2. A big comfortable bed.
3. Being able to stand up.
4. The price.
5. The rear view camera/mirror & blind spot detectors.
6. I like being so elevated while driving.

Things I am not thrilled with:
1. Needs better arm rests. I can work on them.
2. Turning radius. I'll have to get use to it.
3. Height; can't fit through some drive throughs; Starbucks, McDonald's....parking garages.
4. Back up camera does not beep warning...I'll have to see if I can set it to beep.
5. I need a step on the driver's side. I joined a SOLIS POCKET Facebook group and someone posted about getting a step installed at an RV dealer. Definately on my priority list!

I need to take some time to read through the manuals.Читать далее

Checking Off Stuff on the To-Do List
4 декабря 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
New heaters installed this morning in my condo. The ones in the bedrooms were not working at all. And the other 2 were just as old. So got them all replaced with newer more efficient ones. I could have spent a lot more $$ & time and tried to get permission from the condo association to install a heat pump system that would also provide some air conditioning. But I didn't really want to go through all that. Hopefully I won't regret it. I can always use fans and maybe get a window unit. The real issue might be smoke from Canadian fires in summer.

Got some spare keys made. That's been on my list for months.

AND got a library card!!!Читать далее
