Wheres Toto Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 So, the new guy does know the AC needs to be replaced. We had that discussion months ago when he first came around looking at the building checking on all the stuff wrong with it. So it won't be a surprise or anything. And I"m sure he's aware summer is coming. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Hopefully (fingers and toes crossed!), the new guy will be open to giving us more space. We talked about that briefly when he did his walk around. He is willing to give us a couple extra rooms but it's not enough to last us very long before needing more space again (it's only what we need right now) and he wants a five year lease. So unless he's willing to give us more than that, I'm not signing a new longer lease. I'll just wait until my current lease is up next year and move.

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I thought that I saw a moose. It was a fallen tree. Moose hallucinations.

Susan in TN Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Good morning! Happy Family Camp, Krissi! I woke up at Dark o'clock worrying about a couple of key details about our trip next week that sort of need to be taken care of or we won't be going. Then I dozed off a bit and finally I got up to find that Pup is being Sir Poops-a-lot. He pooped on the rug! He hasn't pottied in the house since he was a little puppy. He will only poop in our yard under severe circumstances, even. I am guessing his ear infection medicine is messing with him a bit. Anyways. I am drinking old coffee and trying to get up the gumption to deal with the poison ivy out front. Some animal dug up one of my potted annuals!! 😡 Coffee!

Susan in TN Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I think I have everything packed. And I will unpack, make substitutions and improvements, change my mind about those, change it back, and eventually I will have to just zip up the bags and head to the airport. The only thing I don't have is reef safe sunscreen which I plan to purchase down there. My arms are not strong enough for this trip. It would help if I could lose 20 pounds by Wednesday. I am hoping adrenaline will help me through. I'm having trouble focusing on anything. Nevertheless. We are having bratwurst and chips for dinner. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be paddling in a double canoe thing about 6 miles to a deserted island and camping there for 4 nights. Then paddling back. Meanwhile we will get to snorkel and go fishing and avoid sharks. Thankfully there is a composting toilet on the island. 4 hours ago, ikslo said: I spent all night cleaning in anticipation of our dishwasher delivery/install today.
