More Home Sale

Amazing!  Remember I told you here that I expected that “they” would require MORE days for the sale of my home?   Well, they do. A second underwriter has agreed to accept the first appraisal.  YEAH!! BUT they want a second appraisal done to validate the first…  WHAT!! Then you are NOT accepting the first one. … [Read More]

Home Sale

The sale of my home continues to be a very frustrating experience. This is my third home sale and this one is far and away the most complicated, frustrating, and time consuming. The bank or underwriter (or someone) hired an appraiser to appraise the value. He did so and now they (the underwriter) is rejecting… [Read More]

The Plan

Planning is one of those things that my personality type enjoys, even demands.  I love a plan. That said; I’ve intentionally avoided stating my plan here. The last couple of years have been hard. One of the problems has been that every time I attempt to develop a plan, something is thrown in the way… [Read More]

Thanks Sis

This was to be my first ever Christmas spent alone. I had done a pretty good job staying busy and simply avoiding it. Then it happened… My little sister sent me a box and told me to open it on Christmas Eve. I did as told and as I unpacked it, the emotions took over…. [Read More]

Sickening

This story has me absolutely furious!!! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/12/08/remains-274-troops-reportedly-dumped-in-virginia-landfill/ This story makes me sick when I consider the number of our soldiers that have lost their lives or have been seriously injured recovering a fallen soldier.  They are willing to sacrifice it all for a fallen hero so someone back in the States can toss the him… [Read More]

The End

This week is the end of a wonderful lifetime.  I am sad to see it go. I am sad about many things.  The many years have been  truly wonderful and I am thankful for them. There were happy times and sad, care-free times and difficult – I look at them all now as pure joy… [Read More]

Hair Cut

Once again, it was time for a hair cut.  More brain matter has escaped and it is beginning to appear that the gray hairs are going to win the fight for dominance. I’ve never been good with a “new” barber.  It seems like it takes two or three times for a barber to figure out… [Read More]

Lonely

I work out of my home which is about 1500 miles from the home office.  There are times when it becomes rather lonely. This week, one of my co-workers came here to work on a proposal project with me.  It was so nice to have some company. Hmm… gotta think about that last statement.  Feels… [Read More]

Positive

I don’t know about you guys but complaining comes very easy for me.  I caught onto this years ago and have spent a LOT of effort over the years trying to keep it in check – it is not easy.  Because of this, I find it very hard to listen to others complain.  We are… [Read More]

Reno

I am a pilot, aircraft builder, and have always been very interested in performance and efficiency.  Because of that, the Reno air races have always been fascinating to me. At Reno, all types of aircraft participate in the racing. Vintage aircraft from the World War II era all the way to brand new aircraft licensed by… [Read More]
