Dave’s Good Stuff

It’s been quiet around here lately. I’ve moved the server to my new house, and haven’t set up all the access rules in the new firewall yet to allow for easy updates. I’m set for August 6th to have my shoulder looked at by an orthopedic surgeon. The quote to get the single-pane windows replaced in my house with double-pane windows was way too high. My new car is phenomenal, and the tinting looks great. Bills are piling up as I wait for new checks to arrive. I need to set up automatic payments on those that allow it.

It has been one hell of a year so far. Between looking for and then buying a house, moving into the new house, dealing with many little and big things that accompany a new house, the personal stresses that led to the new house, re-injuring my shoulder, wrecking my car and the 3 weeks of dealing with an insurance company that charges too much and helps out too little, missing out on a greatly desired trip to APA Nationals in Las Vegas for both 9-ball (not my fault) and 8-ball (mostly my fault), I think I’m due a weekend away. So, I’m going to take it. At noonish today I leave for the deeps of Missouri to enjoy a day of drinking and floating down a creek on a raft. I might row some.

It’s finally over. It was an "interesting" 3 weeks, but it’s finally over. I dropped off the rental on Friday, and two hours later, drove off the Saturn lot in Olathe, thus instantly dropping thousands of dollars off the value of my brand new Saturn ION 3 Quad Coupe.

I’m really a lot happier about it than this short ‘n sweet post indicates. I’m just drained from an afternoon in the sun and at the gym.

I’m going to get my tags transferred next week, and take it in to get the windows tinted, and then the saga of totalling out and replacing the old car can be considered all over.
